For t,s fourth time in the history of the
Republic its Chief Magistrate has been
removed by death. All hearts are filled
with grief and horror at the hideous crime
which has darkened our land, and the
memory of the murdered President, his
protracted suferings, his unyieldlng forth
tude, the example and achievements OF his
life and the pathos or his death will forever
illumine the pages of our history. For the
fourth time the officer elected by the people
and ordained by the Constitution to TIL
vacancy so created is called to assume the
Executive Chair. The wisdom OF our faith
ers, foreseeipg eYen the most dire posslbIll-
ties, made sure that the government should
not be impeFiied because of the uncertainty
of human life. Men may die, but the fabric
of our free institutions remains unshaken.
No higher or more assuring proof could exist
of the strength and permancy of popular
government than the fact that though the
chosen of the people be struck down his
constitutional successor Is peacefully IN
stalled, without shock or strain except the
horror which mourns the bereavement. All
the noble aspirations of my iamented pre-
decessor which found expression IN his lie,
the measures devised, and suggested during
his brief administration tn correct abuses,
and enforce economy; to advance the pros
perity and promote the general welfare 70
ensure domestic security, and MAINTAIN
friendly and honorable relations with the
nations of the earth, will be garnered IN the
hearts of the people, and it will be my dear
eest endeavor to profit ana see that the ma
ton shall profit by his example aud eKpe=
rienee. Prosperity blesses our country.
Our fiscal policy is fixed by law, is well
grounded and generally approved. No threat
ening issue mars our foreign intercourse,
and the wisdom, integrity and thrift Of our
peopIe NAV be trusted to continue undis-
turbed the present, assured career of peace,
tranquility and welfare. Fhe gloom and
anxiety which have enshrouded the country
n,,,st make repose especially welcome now.
No demand for speedy legislation has been
heard /: no adequate occasion is apparent for
