FELLow-cITIzENs In the presence OF
this vast assemblage Of my country ymen,
II am about to supplement and seal by
the oath which shsll take, the manifes-
|tation OF the will Of great and free peo-
|ple. In the exercise Of their power and
right Of se!f-government they have COM
mitted TO one OF their fellow citizens .
supreme and sacred trust, aud be here
himself to their service. This
ceremony adds little to the
sole mn responsibilitv with which con-
template the duty owe to ell the peo-
pie Of the land. Nothing can relieve me
from anxiety lest by any act OF mine
their interests may suffer, and nothing is
needed to strengthen my resolution to
engage every faculty and effort In the
promotion Of their welfare.
Amid the din Of party strife the peo-
|ple's choice was made, but it's attendant
have demonstrated anew
the strength and the safety OF the gov
|ernment by the people. In each succeed
ling year II more clearly appears that our
democratic principle needs no apology,
and that in lie fearless and faithful APP
Iplication is 10 be found the surest guar
laniee Of good government nut the best
results in the operation Of . government
wherein every citizen has . share largely
depend upon the proper Limitation o.
lpurely partisan real and effort, and COR
rect appreciation Of the time when par
should be merged into the
patriotism Of the citizen. To-day the
executive branch Of the government is
transferred TO new keeping, but this Il
still government Of ell the people, and
liz should be none the less the object of
their afisctionate solicitude. At this
hour the animosities Of political strife.
the bitterness OF partisan defeat, and the
exuItatiom Of partisan triumph should be
supplanted BY ungrndging acquiescence
~ the popular will. aud als0 By con-
scientious concern for the general veal.
Moreover, IL from this hour we cheer
fully aud honestly abandon all sectional
preiudice and distrust, and determine
with manly confidence In one another
Ito work out hsrmoniously the achieve
imente Of our national destiny, We shall
deserve TO realize all benefits which our
happy form Of government can bestow.
On this auepicious occasion, we may
well renew the pledge Of our devotion
Ito the constitution which, launched BY
1.-THE founders Of the republic and conse'
Grated by their prayers and patriotic de-
votion, has for almost . century borne
the hopes and aspirations ofa great peo
pie throBgh prosperity and peace and
through the shock Of foreign conflicts
rand the perils Of domestic strife and vi
J! !cissifudes. BY the father Of his country
our constitution was commepded for
adoption a. the result Of spirit Of amity
OF mutual concession. 10 that same spir
lii Il should Be- administered in order L
Ipromote the lasting welfare Of the coun
TRY and to secure the full measure OF IL
lpriceless benefits TO us and 10 those whs
\ will succeed 10 the blessings Of oul
national life. The large variety Of d.
verse and competing interests subject Il
federal control. persistentIy seeking thu
.Irecognition Of their claims, need give n
Ino fear that 1.-The greatest good TO the
|greatest number" will fail TO be accomp
lished In the halls Of national Legislation
liz that spirit Of amity and mutual conces
sion shall prevail in which the constitu
Ition had its birth. II this infolves ths
|aurrender or postponement Of private in
Iterests and the abandonment Of local sd
Ivantages, the remuneration will be found
lin the thought that the common interes
lie subserved and the general welfare I'D
Ivanced
In the discharge Of my official duty
|shall endeavor 70 be guided BY just snt
unstrained construction of the cOnstitu
Itiou, careful Observance Of the distlnc
ltion between the powers granted 70 th'
federal government and those reserved
rlto the states or to the people, and BY I
'Icautious appreciation Of those functicn
!, Nv which, BY the constitution and laws, hav,
lbeeD especially assigned TO the executive
branch Of the government. But he whs
takes the oath to-day 70 preserve, pro
Itect and defend the constitution Of th
limited Statea, only assumes the sclemI
lobIigation which every patriotic cttixeI
lon the farm, In the workshops, In tn
lbusy marts Of trade, and every wher'
: lshould share with him. The constitu
