Inter Ocean: President Cleveland's inaugural
is masterpiece Of art IN it's avoidance Of ques-
tions upon which the American people have at
any time been at issue. It Is difficult
to find any sentiment which would not
amount TO an elaborate amplifcation
Of the proposition that it is better to do good
things than to do bad things, and wiser to be
love our country than not to love it, and more
profitable to do things that ought to be done
than things that ought not. One phrase in the
document possesses marked individuality;
officials "plain way of life" as calculated
to aid integrity and promote thrift. Although
The Mormons have given him the benefit Of their
votes, he returns them no comfort in the matter
of polygamy. Altogether Cleveiand's inaugural
address is polite He asserts nothing, defends
nothing and criticizes nothing The pubic will
net with the feeling that it will contain prob
ably few surprises and no sensations.
Times; The speech Of the new president upon
the beginning OF his reign is commendable for

is not only prepared to hear his views with sat-
isfaction, but to accept them as reason

against the infamous patronage system is not
to be obstructed. hindered Sor endangered by
the change Of theshigh officer who holds and is

the adherence to the Evolutionary" policy Of
national isolation.

the party, which was largely represented IN the
crowds at Washington, has been called on to

Evening Post: The inaugural address Is char
acterized by the bfevity and compactness Of
most Of President Cleveland's public utterances
he mars the general effect somewhat by what
seems unnecessary announcement to the anti
Chinese craze The general impression left by
the address will, we think, be one Of the rough
honesty OF purpose applied to the earlier princi-

vigorous. 1t encludes no attempt to turn or
glaze over any previous utterances which have
evoked from some quarters expressions Of dis

will be received by men of all parties in gen.
