Tn comments III the pres. OF the
country on CIcvelau'l's Inaugural
address are ii tie highest degree
complimentary and promise vel
for tho manner in which his admin
: is'ration will be Iecei:ei.
1t was to he expected. of cOul Sc
that the Democratic p,pers would
see good in it. What is surprising
~ that the Republican ana ln.ic.
pendent press iin,l little to com.
plain OF, express themselves we'll
satisfied and Indicate their willing
ness to support those measures
which Mr.. Cleveland a dyocates.
The New York San, Witch descr
ted the Democratic. party during
the last campaign amt insisted
that Mr.. Cleveland WIS doomed to
defeat, has apparently come back
to the ranks again. 1t is pleased
With The new C.bi..et and still
more pleased with the inaugural.
1t is broad and philoSopbic." it
declares; ''anl the passage relat'
ing to economical government and
a plain mode of living will be greet.
ed with satisfaction by a great pro
portion Of the people. and there is
no doubt that the VII ole document
expresses plainly aud sincerely the
IDEAS and purposes Of its author"
Such are the views of a repre>en
! tatiyc independent Democratic
newspaper.
The New York Times, as sreprc-
sent:ng tie Independent Rypubli.
cans, is sill more pleased. Mr..
Cleve!and's inaugural address, in
it's opinion, is dignified. simple and
forc,ble. sit has in it the tone of
sincerity snl directness, which. has
come to he regarded Us character
istic Of the man. 1t is clear that
lie enters Oh the duties of lis Office
with deep SENSE Of responsibility
to the whole country, and the Whole
country will receive with hearty
and grateful assent his depreca-
ton Of partisan spirit. We believe,
also, that it will respond cordially !
to his appeal to remember that his
trust il shared hy every patriotic !
citizen and that every citizen
owes 10 tue country a vi.ilant
watch and cIcse SCRUTINY of its |,
pubic servants and a fair and rea.
sonable estimate Of their fidelity |
and usefulness
Even the Tribune, from which, |
in it's bitter partisan spirit, little |
was to be expected, is quite friend !
~ and amiahle. 1t does, it is true |
complain because Mr.. Cleveland
has given utterance to ideas which
have been expressed before, but
it does not deny that they are the
correct ideas or that 1t would have
been well tor the Republicans to
have followed them. 1--WE PREFER
it says, "to assume that Mr.. Cleve.
land is an earnest and sincere man
in the utterance of phrases which,
III the mouths Of many, would have
no meaning whatever. We prefer
to trust that his inaugural address, |
If it suggests that he has not ar.
rived at definite and clear ideas
on many subjects, may still honest
~ disclose the Tenderness of his
mind. We prefer to accept the
declarations Of his inaugural as
Of purpose non lightly
formed, SC far as i: has been form
ed at all, and by which he means
to abide"
These are few samples Of the
opinions expressed by the several
factions and wings Of the Repub.
licans and Independents. The
other Republican and Independent
papers throughout the country ex.
press very similar views to those
Of the New York Tribune, Times
and Sun, and shows an apprecia.
ton Of Cleveland's merits, and a
disposition to greet him with less
than new president
has usually met with.
In reference to the new Cabinet.
