convinced that the Republican party

and the confidence which he expresses in
its continuation and development is one Of
the most happily phrased parts of the doc
ument, and next after this is his aluson to
the Southern question, wherein he disclaims
his intention to have a special policy for
any part Of the country, but saws that ev
cry section must obey the laws as a selfish
matter Of self protection, for each in its
turn needs efficient laws honestly admins
tered for its own protection. There is here
a plain suggestion Of the fact that the new
President does not look with complacency
on the election methods that prevail in the
South
The declaration in regard to civil service
reform is sufficiently explicit, but to him
who reads that paragraph Of the address
with care it will appear that its significance
lies more in what is implied than in what is
said in exact words 1t is evident that
Gen Harrison had in mind the confident
and fulsome promises made by Mr.. Cleve
land in regard to this reform and the dis
graceful way in which they were broken,
and having this record in view he prefers
to 90 on with a steadfast purpose to do the
best that circumstances permit and leave
retrospect rather than promises to form the
standard of judgment The only possible
construction to be put on the declaration
that 1--WE shall not be able to put our civil
service upon a non bipartisan basis until we
have secured an incumbency that fair
minded men of the opposition will approve
for impartiality and integrity, is that Gen
Harrison does not believe that every office
holder must be of the same political faith a.

President Harrison's selection of eXGov,
Redfeld Proctor of Vermont for the third
place in his cabinet is fitting recognition
of the staunch and unfailing Republican,
ism of the Green Mountain state, of the
substantial quality of her people, and of
the eminent character of the men whom
she has given to the public service of the
country through a long series of years,
Further than this it is proper recognition
by Gen. Harrison of the fact that the fore
sight of the Vermont delegation to the
Chicago convention of last June in giving
him their support from the beginning to
the end of the long contest, furnished a
rallying point which made his nomination
possible. The devotion of the Vermont
ers never wavered, no matter how high
the momentary excitement ran for some
other candidate, and on every ballot the
full, sonorous voice of Gov, Proctor was
heard saying in answer to the call of the
state, vermont casts eight votes for Ben
iamin Harrison
Vermont deserves the distinguished rec
ognition which she has won, and Secretary
of-War Proctor will on his part amply jus
tify by his level head, sound judgment and
strong personality the choice which Presi-
dent Harrison has made

Gen Harrison's inaugural address is a
paper which does credit to its author and
creates for him at once presumption of
popular confidence and approval, Without
pretence of profound wisdom or attempt at
eloquent diction, it takes up and treats in a
direct, plain and appreciatiye way, those
topics which today most intimately concern
the national welfare The most significant
thing, however, is not what Gen Harrison
says, but the temper of mind and heart
with which he approaches his high duties
He INDUCES in no promises Of great things
70 be accomplished, and casts no roseate
glow on the future, On the contrary he,
says the obligation assumed is as strong and
binding on the part of the people as ON the
Executive, aud both must rely ON the favor
and help Of Almighty God

From the New York sun Of March 18th
Gen. Harrison inaugural address speaks
well for him. 1t is a modest sensibly
conceived, and excellently written essay
on the state of the Union If any foolish
friend of the new Administration has ex-
pected that yesterday would be chosen for
the sudden unmasking of a powerful and
original individuality not heretofore sus
pected to exist, he will be disappointed If
any preiudiced enemy has hoped that the
inaugural speech would be the disclosure of
mental feebleness, ridiculous pomposty, and
general incompetency to handle the reins
of government, he likewise will be disap-
pointed, and even more than the other fel-
low. Good taste, good judgment, and a
very shrewd sense of what it is better to
leave unsaid at present, characterize the
document
