THE PRESS ON THE PRESIDENTS INAUGU
RAJ ADDRESS.
New York Times, Rep: "Mr. Cleveland
Inaugural address is dignifed, simple, and
forcible. 1t has in it the tone of sincerit,
and directness that has come to be regard
ed as characteristic of the man. 1t is cleal
that he enters on the duties of his Ollie
with deep sense Of responsibility to thu
whole country, and the whole country will
receive with hearty and grateful assent biz
depreciation of partisan spirit. 1t is long
time since the party which was largely rep
resented in the vast crowds at Washington
has been called on to listen to SO mucli
sound doct inc so clearly declared, and evi
IDENTIFY backed by SO resolute and practicai
will. 1t remains to be seen how thai
party will receive the application of the
fdoctrine which is sure to follow. 1t should
be added t',at the Presidents decara iou
regarding the freedmen is national, Just,
and honorable.
New York Sun, Independent: ''Mr.
Cleveland's inaugural address is very prop
erly confined to setting forth in broad and
philosophic way the general principles by
which be proposes to be guided; and those
who have been expecting from him minut.
and specific declarations upon questions OF
public policy will be disappointed. 1t il
very well written There is nothing new
or original or bril- liant about it, but the
passages relating to economic government
and plain mode of living will be welc med
with satisfaction by grea proportion OF
the people, and there is no doubt that the
whole document expresses plainly and sin
cerely the ideas and purposes OF its author. :"
New York Herald, Independent: "Presi-
dent Cleveland's address is document tina,
ev ry citizen should ponder for himself.
Many good bits of common sense and sound
political philosophy are scattered through
| it, and as the Democrats are now to try
their hands at the wheel in giving practical
effect to these views because the people
wanted it, would it not be well for the Re-
publicans to head the Presidents appeal
and sacrifice their spleen to the patriotic
thought that whatever party is best for the
country is at last best for us all, and that
it is at least time for an experimental
changer"
New York World, DEM. President
Cleveland's inaugural address is in keeping
with the p 'pers he has from time to time
been called upon to lay before the public iu
his official capacity and with all his public
ut erances since the election. He says what
he has to say in plain language, unembel
lished by rhetorical fourishes, but terse
and trenchant, leaving no doubt as to its
meaning. aid impressing the reader with
the conviction that it comes from the heart.
Earnest, unpretendiug, sincere, and Wig
orous, the inaugural partakes of the char
&C er of the man"
The New York Eceninq Post, Indepen-
dent Republican, takes exception to Mr.
Cleveland's seeming unnecessary encour-
agement of the anti Chinese craze, but
adds, that ''the general impression left by
the address will be one of thorough hon
esty of purpose.
Philade phia Times, Independent: eth
singular dignity and simplicity of the adj
dress are not more remarkable than the
well-grounded conviction that underlies its
modest but unhesitating declarations. and
those who have thought of Mr. Cleveland
as an apprentice in politics will be unde-
eeived if they have themselves. the knowl-
edge to perceive how clear an understand
lug of constitutional Democracy inspires
both its substance and its phraseology.
Whatever the coming four years may bring,
there can be no doubt of the steadfast pur-
pose Of the new President to secure sound
and orderly administration of the laws.
with wise economy and simplicity and with
careful obedience to constitutional prin-
ciples aud to the rights and liberties Of all
the peopfe.'
Philadelphia Press, Rep: 'ln point of
style the address shows the finishing touch
of hand more skillful than his own. In
point of thought its authorship will be I'M
disputed, for it shows only little less steril-
ity than the letter of acceptance. On mi
nor questions the inaugural is reasonably
explicit; on the larger questions it is eva
sive Or stultifed by practical acts; and
while its tone is elevated and admirable,
the country must still wait to see what Mr..
Cleveland will do in order to determine
what his administration will be-"
PHILADELPHIA Record DEM: president
Cleveland's utterances in regard to the cur
rency, the finances, economy in govern
ment, tariff reduction and civil-service re-
form are in entire harmony with what he
has said on other occasions. AS the chart
in which is briefly but clearly outlined the
policy of this new administration, this in
augural address deserves to be, and will be-
attentively considered by the American
people,"
Philadelphia North american, Rep: "It
is not a remarkable document in any re
spect, but it is excellent in dlction, conserv-
alive in tone and candid in statement"
Boston Eyening Transcript. Republican,:
the inaugural address of President
Cleveland is the production of an alert
well-posed, strong brain, nurtured in the
best schools OF rhetoric. Its utterances are
instinct with thought, and verified by an
intellectual energy rarely discoverable in
official compositions. The inaug ural in its
composition, the swing and rhythm of its
periods, and the clear discussion of the
topics touched, worthily ranks with the
most celebrated of similar American pro
auctions. This first message of the Presi-
dent will go far to make him renowned
throughout the world"
