PRESIDENT CEEyEEANG.

FELLOW CITIZENS In the pres.
ence OF this vast asscmblage of my
countrymen, I am about to supple
ment and seal by the oath which
shall take, the manifestation Of the
will of y great and free people. In
the exercise Of their power and
right of self-goyernment, they have
committed to one Of their fellow
citizens a supreme and sacred trust
and he here consecrates himself to
their service. This impressive GER
emony adds little to the solemn re-
sporsibility with which l comten-
plate the dutyI owe to all the peo-
pie Of the land. Nothing can re-
lieve me from anxiety lest by any
act Of mine their interests may suf-
fer, and nothing is needed to stren-
gthen my resolution to engage eve
~ faculty and effort in the promo
ton Of their welfare. Amid the
dins cf party strifes and peoples
choice was made, but its attendant
circumstances have demonstrated q
new strength and the safety of gov
ernment by the people. In each
succeeding year it more clearly ap-
pears that our democratic principle
needs no apology, and that in its
fearless and faithful application is
to be found the surcst guaranty Of
good government. But the best
results in the operation of 4 gov
ernmcnt wherein every citizen has
a share largely depend upon the
proper limitation of purely partisan
zeal and effort, and q correct appre-
citation OF The time when partisan
ship should be merged into the pat
riotism Of the citizen. To-day the
executive branch ofthc government
is transferred to q new keeping, but
this is still the government of all
the people, and it should be none
the less the object of their afec-
tionatc solicitudc. At this hour
the animosities Of political strife,
the bitterness of partisan defeat
and exultation of partisan triumph
should be supplanted by ungrudged
acquiescence to popular will, and
so by conscientious concern for the
general veal. Moreover, if from
this hour we cheerfully and honest
ly abandon all sectional prejudice
and distrust, and determine with
many confdences in enc another
to work out harmoniously the a.
chievements OF our national dcsti-
ny. we shall deserve TO realize all
the benefits which our happy form
Of government can bestow.
On this conspicuous occasion We
may we'll renew this pledge of de-
votion to the constitution and the
perils OF domestic strife and yiccis-
STUDIES of The father Of his country.
Cur constitution WAS commended
for adoption as a result of a spirit
of mutual cOnccssion-in that same
spirit it should be administered.
The variety of competing interests
subject to federal control, presist-
emily seeking the recognition Of
their claims need give Us no fear.
That the greatest need to the great
est number, will fail to be accom-
plished, if in the halls Of national
legislation, that spirit shall prevail
in which the constitution had its
birth, if this involves the surrender

ton, and for the needs of future set
Tiers require that public purloining
schemes and unlawful occupation
shall be stopped.
The conscience Of the people de-
mand that the Indians without
boundaries shall be fairly and hon
estly treated as wards of the gov
eminent, and their education and
civilization promoted with 4 view
to their ultimate citizenship, and
that polygamy in the territories, so
destructive of the family relations
and offensive to the moral sense of
the civilized world, shall be sup
pressed The laws shall be rigidly
enforced which prohibits the i'm
migration Of q servile class to COM
pete with American labor, with no
intention Of acquiring citizenship,
and bringing with them habits and
customs repugnant to our civiliza-
lion. Tie people demand a reform
of the administration Of the gov
ernment and the application ofbus-
mess principles to public affairs,
and as q means to this end, civil
service reform should be in good
faith enforced. Our citizens have
the right to protection from the in
competency of public employees
who hold their places solely as d
reward of partizan service and from
the corrupting influence of those
who promote the vicious methods
of those who expect such rewards,
and those who worthily seek pub
lie employment have the right 10
insist that merit and competency
shall be recognized insteod OF par
ty subservency, or the surrender of
honest political belief in the ad-
ministration ola government pledg-
ed to do equal and exact justice to
all men.
There should be no pretext for
anxiety touching the protection of
the freedmen in their rights, or their
security in the enjoyment of their
under the constitution
and its amendments. All discus
cussion as to their fitness for places
accorded them as American citi-
zens, are idle and Improbable, ex-
cept as it suggests the necessity for
their Improvement. The fact that
they are citizens, entities them to
the rights and the relations of citi-
zens, and charges them with all its
duties, obligations and responsible
tiles. These topics and the constant
and ever varying wants ofan active
and enterprising population, viii
receive the attention ofthc patriotic,
and the best endeavors Of all who
make and execute The federal laws.
Our duties are practical and call for
Industrious application and intelli-
gent PERCEPTION of the claims Of
public office, and above all firm
determination by united action to
secure to all the people of the land
the full benefits Of the best form Of
government ever vouchsafed to
man. Let US not trust TO human
efforts alone, but humbly acknowl-
edge the power and goodness of
Almighty God who presides over
The destiny ofnations, and who has
1T al times been revealed in our
;ountry's history. Let US invoke
His aid and His blessing upon our
abors.

fine tenor voice, he went to Boston in No
vember OF the same year to receive musical
instruction and was for some time a pupil
OF DIR. Guilmette. While in Boston he sang
in several church choirs, principally in that
OF the Dudley street church. About the first
OF May, 1876, he returned to the University
and continued there till the close of the
next school year, in June, 1877. After his
return from Boston he conducted singing
schools and had private classes in vocal
music being quite successful in this line.
He had considerable trouble about this
time with dyspepsia, but seemed to recover
from 1t. He entered the Office of Charles
w. Porter, Esq, of Montpelier as a law
student, and during his residence in Mont
peler he was connected with the choirs of
the Methodist and Episcopal churches. He
returned to Northfeld in the fall of 1880 and
continued his law studies i'm the office of
Frank Plumley, Esq, In the fall of 1882 he
entered Boston University law school, taxi
ing a special course, and was admitted to
the bar in the spring of 1888. Returning to
Northfield, he opened an Office and began
the practice of law, intending to go South in
the fall. He was married October "a to
Miss Abbie e. Kimball daughter of Mr..
Charles p. Kimball of Mortified. During
the spring and summer of 1884 his health
was poor and he tried to regain it by
rest and recreation, spending two or
three months at his fathers house in Green's
boro. As he made little improvement, he
determined to go South for the winter, and
started October %, going first to North Car
DINA, then to Georgia and finally to Texas
Through the winter he gained in flesh and
strength, but as spring came on his improve
ment was soon lost, and he arrived at his
home in Northfeld, May 6, weak and ema-
ciated-much worse than when he left He
continued to fail until death came to his
relief on the evening of Sunday, June p.
Funeral services were held at Northfeld in
the afternoon of Wednesday following. and
Thursday the remains were taken to Green's
boro for burial. In the study and practice
of his profession he was quick, acute, zeal
Gus and thorough, and would undoubtedly
nave become eminent at the bar The old
problem, why young man seemingly just
fitted by perseverance and self-sacrifice for
a useful and successful life should be cut
down on the threshold of his career, is
presented to us and as ever, the solution
seems to be reserved for eternity.
