Mr.. Cleveland's inaugural address
is yery5properly confined to setting
forth in broad and philosophic
way the general principles by which
he proposes to be guided; and those
who have been expecting from him
minute and specific declarations up
on questions Of public policy will
be disappointed.
After stating with that serious
and impressive moral tone which we
have become accustomed to in Mr..
Cleveland's public utterances, his
sense of responsibility in assuming
the Presidency, he proclaims his de-
termination to observe with unvary-
ing care the spirit and the letter of
the Constitution; and he urges the
necessity Of remembering that,
while those who hold public offices

A Democratic President has been
nominated, elected and has taken his
seat.
After twenty four successive years
of Republican domination, it is not
strange that the return Of the Dem
ocratic party to power has been
made the occasion of general felici-
tation and rejoicing throughout the
party.
The Inauguration was attended
with more brilliant display and
enthusiasm than has, perhaps, ever
been witnessed on such an occasion
Washington admits that it never
saw the like. There were as many
visitors as the railroads could well
carry. They gathered from every
nook and corner of the land.
Having now the Presidency the
Democratic party also has the re-
sponsibility. The Presidency means
more than the distribution of of
fices-it is high and important
trust, not only in it's relation to the
party welfare but to the whole coun-
try.
We hope to see Mr.. Cleveland
make good President for the whole
country, and in SO doing he will be a
good President in a party sense. He
has called around him a good Cabi-
net, and he has the confidence of the
people in the rectitude Of his aims
and purposes; He certainly will
not please everybody, and he is al
most certain to make mistakes, but
the masses of the people are intelli-
gent, and if his administration is
worthy Of credit, it will be appre-
ciated.

GOVERNOR WILSON.


On Wednesday, March 4th, 1885,
the Inauguration of Gov. E. Willis
Wilson took place at the State House
in Wheeling. At precisely 20 min
utes before IL o'clock the procession,
escorting the Governor-clect, moved
down Market street and was at the
Capitol in 10 minutes. Arriving
there, the Governor elect and Right
Rev. Bishop Kahn proceeded to the
east balcony followed by Gov. Jack
son and Judge Okey johnson, the
heads of the various State depart
ments and other prominent person
ages. Prayer was offered by Bishop
Kahn and Immediately Gov. Wilson
stepped forward and read his inaug-
ural address. The oath of Office was
administered by Judge johnson.
Governor Wilson is too we'll known
to our people to need any introduce
ton, and his address was an effort
worthy of the man who made it. 1t
was clear, concise, well delivered and
met with the approval which it mer-
tied. The Governor took strong
grounds on matters of Importance
and his address is an earnest of the
excellent administration that we ex-
pect him to give us. We give below
the roster Of the new State officers
and their appointments.
Governor-E. Willis Wilson, of
Kanawha. Executive appointments
not completed.
Auditor-Patrick F. Duffy, of Web
ster. Chief Clerk, w. A. Cracraft;
Land Clerk, w. P. Adams; Clerks,
Hon. B. F. Oxley and Frank DAILY.

well, of Ohio. Clerk, Maj O. D.
Cook.

Cabell. Clerk, r. T. Herndon.

B. S. Morgan, Of Monongalia. Clerk,
j. F. Corke. of Roane.

Walker, Of Kanawha. Chief Clerk,
Senator Floyd, of Logan; Clerk, John
Howard.

clashed hither and thither lending
animation to the scene.
The police regulations were per
feet, and the broad avenue. with its
hard, smooth surface, was complete
ly cleared of everything that might
obstruct the pageant The q. S.

parting somewhat from the order of
the programme, with the probable
object of insuring a clear marching
space. Their ranks extended clear
across the avenue and presented
most imposing appearance The
marine corps and band. augmented
for the occasion. followed the artille-
nv battalions. This section of the
procession proceeded as far as the
south front of the Treasury Depart
ment. and then halted and came to
parade rest in order to afford oppor-
tunity for the Presidential party to
fall in line, when the march was re-
sumed. The Presidents elegant car.
riage was proceeded by General Slo-
cum, the chief marshal, and his staff,
and a troop of United States caval-
ry. Surrounding the carriages were
dozen policemen. The party re-
ccived an ovation all along the line
of march. Men cheered. women
waived their handkerchiefs and
clapped their hands, and the greatest
enthusiasm was evinced by the great
throng. President elect Cleveland
kept his hat in hand and bowed to
the right and left as the carriage
rolled slowly along. The same re-
ception was accorded the Vice Presi-
dentelect, whose carriage followed
Next came the National Democratic
Committee, and the Inaugural Com
mittee in carriages, followed by the
District MALTA, headed by the Wash
ington Light Infantry. The march
ing of this organization, with its un-
usually long front, was almost per
feet, and it succeeded in making the
difficult wheel at the southeast corner
of the Treasury building, without
breaking-a feat which even the L.
5. regulars did not attempt. A num-
Der of colored MALTA formed part
of the first division, and presented a
highly creditable appearance. The
local divisions of the Grand Army of
the Republic closed the escorting di-
vision. These movements were exc
cuted with a most commendable
promptness.

hold public trusts, each citizen and
each voter lives really under the
same solemn obligation.
Economical administration and
the encouragement of plain way
of living among citizens will be OBJ
jects of vital importance in the con-
duct of the new administration.
Toward foreign nations the tradi-
tional policy of the republic will be
strictly maintained; peace with all;
entangling alliances with none. The
finances of the Government should
be kept upon sound and sensible
basis; in collecting the revenue
there should be no unnecessary tax
alton, but the interests of capital in
vested in American industries and
of workingmen employed in them,
should be duly regarded; and no
surplus should be allowed to accu-
mulate in the Treasury. The pub
lie lands should be preserved for
settlement and protected against
purloining schemes and unlawful oc-
cupation. The Indians should be
treated fairly as wards of the Gov
eminent, and educated with a view
to becoming citizens. Polygamy
should be repressed. The immigra-
ton of Cinnamon who come here to
compete with our laborers, and with
out any intention of becoming citi-
zens, should be prohibited. Bust
ness principles should be applied to
public affairs, and to this end civil
service reform should be enforced.
Office should not be made the re-
ward of partisan service, and no man
should be tempted to surrender his
honest political opinion by the hope
of public employment. The rights
of the freedmen, under the Constitu-
ton and it's amendments, should be
preserved and respected.
These are the points of Mr.
Cleveland's inaugural. 1t is very
we'll written. There is nothing bril-
liant about it; but the passage re-
lating to economical government and
plain mode of living will be well
coined with satisfaction by a great
proportion of the people; and there
is no doubt that the whole document
expresses plainly and sincerely the
ideas and purposes of it's author.

method Of making their gas enter
prise profitable is to couple it with
water. They have both water and
gas from the same well. We are not
certain but the Water is the most
valuable. 1t will be some time be-
fore the demand for gas will justify
the investment in piping Our peo-
pie will want to think about it and
inquire about it. But they already
know the value of water, and of
such water as flows from. that well.
They are now ready to contract for
it, and ready to pay literally for it.
The quickest and cheapest and
most direct way, therefore, to intro
duce the gas is to carry the water
along with it. The mains will lay
in the same ditch, and cost less than
onehalf what they would cost in
separate bitches. That is to say, if
the bitches are dug for gas, the only
additional cost for water would be
the pipes. They ought to be brought
together, and it is certain as any
business proposition can be, that
water will pay handsome dividend
to any company that will furnish it,
and it will be in the nature of per-
manent investmen. that will never
depreciate, but always grow with

A BRILLIANT SCENE ALONG PENNsYL-

1t was precisely at the hour set,
1880 o'clock, that the Presidential
party entered their carriages and
took the position assigned them in
the line. The party entered their
carriages as follows: In President
Arthur's carriage, President Arthur
with President elect Cleveland on the
left, Senator Sherman facing Presi-
dent Arthur, and Senator Ransom
on his right facing the President
elect. The second carriage contain
ed the Vice-President elect with SEN
ator Hawley on the left. AS the
carriages drove out of the gates and
entered the line the occupants were
greeted with the widest enthusiasm,
men shouting, women screaming and
waving their handkerchiefs, and all
seemed carried away with the ex-
citement of the moment. The Pres
ident and Vice President-elect came
in for the principal share of enthu-
siasm, and each Of them raised their
hats, and bowed right and left to the
crowd, which lined both sides of the
carriage way.

On last Thursday morning the
Pittsburgh Commercial Gazette sent
special train east over the Penn
sylvania Railroad to carry the ac-
count Of the Inauguration of Presi-
dent Cleveland to the people of that
State. The feat was one never be-
fore attempted we believe in the his
tory of Pittsburgh journalism. At
2:50 on Thursday morning the train
pulled out from Union station car
rying it's tens of thousands of Com
mercidl Gazettes, so bundled that
they could be thrown off to agents
at the stations without even check
ing up. Late in the morning the
special had covered the distance be-
tween Pittsburgh and point seven
ty-five miles east of Huntingdon,
where the Philadelphia train was
met. The paper thus reached the
people ahead of all others, at some
places as much as five hours. This
we regard as bit Of common dable
enterprise that deserves much credit.
1t was what the boys call scoop.
That is, the paper scooped it's con-
temporaries, scooped in the shekels,
and scooped out the news to it's army
of readers.

Col. John T. McGraw, of Grafton,
is being urged by his many friends
throughout the State for the posi-
ton of Collector Of Internal Reye-
nue.. Mr.. McGraw is eminently
qualified for this position, and we
know of no one in the State more
deserving of party recognition. We
cordially endorse the following from
the Weston Democrat. John T..
McGraw, of Grafton, is an appli-
cant for the position Of Collector of
Internal Revenue for the District of
West Virginia. John possesses the
Jeffersonian qualifications, and is a
straight Democrat. He never mus
ters in sore-head or bolter ranks.
President Cleveland cannot make a
better selection within the borders
of West Virginia. We-will be pleas
ed to see Col. John get the appoint
