Inter Ocean: President Cleveland's inaugural
is a masterpiece Of art in its avoidance of cues
lions upon which the American people have at
any time been at issue. 1t is difficult
to find any sentiment which would not
amount to an elaborate amplitcation
OF the proposition that it is better to do good
things than to do bad things, and wiser to be
wise tnan to be foolish, and more patriotic to
love onr country than not to love it, and more
profitable to do things that ought to be done
aocument possesses marked individuality.
This is that which recommends to ali
oificials a plain way of life as calculated
the Nlornons have given him the benefit of their
VOTES, ne returns them no comfort In the matter
OF polygamy. Altogether Cleveland's inaugural
nothing and criticizes nothing. The public will
await; therefore. the announcement Of his cabi-
net with the feeling that it will contain prob
ABLY rev surprises and no sensations.
Times: The speech of the new president upon
the beginning of his reign is commendable for
Its brevity and admirable for the dignitied tone
ana Just tenor OF Its sentiments. The country
Is not only prepared to hear his views with sat
1Sfaction, but to accept them as a reason
able assurance that the march of opinion
against the infamous patronage system is not
to be obstructed. hindered or endangered by
the change of the high officer who holds and Is
able to exercise, according to his will, the ire
menduous appointing power. The reign of
Cleveland Is not to be distinguished by any
foreign policy of the eymnastic style Of Blaine,
and II an unsatisfactory policy should be pur-
sued its fault is more likely to be on the side of
the adherence TO the Evolutionary" policy of
national Isolation.

Sun: Mr.. Cleveland's inaugural address is
very properly confined to setting forth in u
broad and philosophic way the general princi-
pies by which he proposes to be guided. 1t ia
very well written. There is nothing new or
original or brilliant about it, but the passage re-
latins to economical government and a plain
mode of living will be welcomed with ~satisfac-
ton by a great proportion of the people, and
there is no doubt that the whole document ex-
pressed plainly and sincerely the ideas and pur-
poses OF the author.
Times: Mr.. Cieveland's inaugural address is
dl:nihed, simple and forcible. 1t Is clear that
he enters upon the duties OF his office with a
deep sense of responsibility to the whole coun-
with grateful assent his depreciation of
partisan spirit. 1t is a long time since
the party, which was largely represented IN the
crowds at Washington, has been called on to
clared and evidently backed by so resolute and
practical q will. 1t remains to be seen how that
party will receive the application OF the doc
trtne which i. sure TO follow.
Evening Post: The inaugural address Is char
acterized by the brcvity aud compactness of
most of President Clevc!and's public utterances.
he mars the general effect somewhat by what
seems unnecessary encouragement to the anti
Chinese craze. The general impression left by
the address VIII, we think, be one OF the rough
honesty of purpose applied to the earlier princi-
pies OF the Democratic party.
Commercial-Advertiser: 1t is clear, direct and
vigorous. 1t excludes no attempt to turn or
glaze over any previous utterances which have
evoked from some quarters expressions of dis
content. The address is, on the whole, a cheer
ing and satisfactory document, and we trust it
will be received by men of all parties in a gen
erous, respectful and patriotic spirit.
World: President Cleveland says what he has
to say in plain language, unelnbellished by
rhetorical 1ourishcs, but terse and trenchant,
leaving no doubt as to it's meaning and Impress
ing the reader with the conviction that 1t comes
from the heart. earnest, unpretending, sincere
and vigorous, the inaugural partakes of the
