THE INAUGURAL ADDRESS.
FELLOW CITIzENs:-In the presence
df i.iis vast assemblage OF my country
men, anu about to supplement- and seal
BY the oath which | shall take, the
manifestation OF the will OF great ana
- people. In the exercise o' their
|ower of the IightO of self government,
kheV have commiGtei 20 one Ot their lei
,ow-citizens a supreme aud sacred trust
and he here cOnsecrateS himself 10 their
Ienr, ice. This impressive ceremony ADDS
[Fttle 20 the solemn responsibility with
which / contemplate the duty owe 10
ali ha people Of the land. Nothing can
Dreieve me from the anxiety that 10y any
Sand nothing is needed to strengthen my
res tuition 10 engage every faculty and
effort in the promotion OF their welfare.
Amid party striies the peoples choice
wa made; hut its attendant clrcum-
stf~, ces have demonstrated ne"
seeugth and safety OF government by
. the people. In each succeeding year ~
more clearly appears that our Democratic
pIrcIples needs no apology, and mat IN
| IL fearless and faithful application Is %
| be found the surest guaranty OF BOou
| government. But the best results III
| the operation OF government, whereln
eYeiy citizen has share, largely ge
pelIGs upon the proper limitation OF
/ purely partisan zeal and effort, ana q
| correct appreciation of the time when
psrtIsauship should be merged in the
| patrlotism of the citizen. To-day the
executive branc' Of the government is
transferred to nov keeping, but thus IS
An a government of all the people, ana
d should be none the less the object of
sneir atfectionate sclicitude. Al TINS
hour the animosities of political strife,
lthe bitterness OF partizan defeat and the
Ventilation of partisan triumph, should
| ne supplanted by an ungrudging acqul-
sscence to the popular Will, ana so by
conscientious concern the general veal
Moreover, If from TINS hour we cheerI
fully and honestly abandon all
sectional prejudice and distrust, and
Getermine with manly confidence in
| one another to work ouV
barmoniously the achievements OF our
mstional destiny, we shall deserve TO re
aiiizs all the benefits which our happy
form of government en- bestoW. On
this auspiciOus occasion we may well
renew the pledge of our devotion to the
| constitution, which. was launched ny
the founders OF the republic and conse-
Grated by their prayers and p6tflotlc
devution, which has for almost CEN
tury Borne the hopes and ASPIRATIONS on
a gieat people, through prosperity ana
Desce and through tho shock OF foreign
couflicts and the perils of domestic
strife and vicissiJudes. By the father OF
his country our constitution was COM
suended for adoption, and the result OF
q spirit of amiJy and mutual conces-
sjou." In that same spirit 1T should De
administered, in order to promote me
lasting welfare OF the country,
and 10 the full measure of its priceless
henetits to US and to those who viii sue
coed 10 the blessings of our national lie.
The large variety of diverse and compe-
ting interests subject to federal control
persisrently seeking the recognition OF
their claims need give us no fear that
"the greatest good TO the greatest NUN
ber'. win fail to be accomplished. Ii, in
the halls of national legislation that
CsssSbiiit of amity and mutual concession
shall prevail in which the constitution
ind lts birch; ii LAis involves JnC sur
render or postponement OF private IN
terest and the abandonment OF private
advantages a remuneration IS 10 De
found in the thought that the common
interest is subserved and the general
I welfare advanced. In the discharge OF
INV official duty L shall endeav-
or to be guided by
lust and unrestrained construction
OF the constitution, a careful observance
of the distinction between the powers
grantedsto the federal government anu a
( those reserved To the states or TO the
people. and by a caution and an appre-
citation of those functions which, by the
constitution and laws, have been espec-
iallv assigned TO tho executive branch
of the government. But he who takes
the oath to-day TO preserve, protect ana
defend the constitution OF the United
States, only assumes the solemn obi
CATION which every patriotic citizen on
. the farm, in the workshop, in the basy
marts Of trade and everywhere, should
share with him. The constitution which
prescribes his oath, my countrymen, is
YOURS. The government you have
chosen him to administer for time is
yours. The suffrage which executes
the will of freemen is yours,
.tbe laws and the entire scheme of our
,ciy.l rule from the town meeting 10 the
state capitols and the national capitol is
yours, yours every voter, as surely as ev-
cry chief magistrate under the same
high sanction, though ID d different
sphere, exercises public trust. Nor is
thiS all: Every citizen owes to the
country a vigilant watch and close
scrutiny of its public servants and a
fair and reasonable portion of their
fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the
peoples will impressed upon the whole
frarne work of our civil policy, munich
