fully and without evasion.
Our citizens, domiciled for the pur-
pose of trade in all countries and on
many of the islands of the sea, demand
and will have our adequate care in their
personal and commercial rights.
If our great corporations would more
ton and duress they would have less
cause to complain of their rights or of
violent interference with their opera
lions.
Honorable party service will certainly
not be esteemed by me a disqualification
for public Office, but ii will in no case be
allowed to serve as a shield for official
negligence. incompetency Or delin-

We shall neither fail to respect the
flag of any friendly nation, or the just
rights of its citizens. nor to exact like
treatment for our own. Calmness,
justice and consideration should char

better proof of their patriotism and
higher glory to their country by pro-

The offices Of an intelligent OF of a
friendly arbitration in proper cases

The mill fires were lighted at the
funeral pile of slavery. The enamel
patton proclamation was heard in the

How shall those who practice election
frauds recover that respect for the sane
tity of the ballot which is the first con
dition and obligation of good citizen
ship? The man who has come to regard
the ballot box as a juggler's hat has re-
nOunced his allegiance,
There are many ways in which the
convenience and comfort of those who
have business with our public officers
may be promoted by thoughtful and
obliging officers, and I shall expect
those whom l appoint to justify their
selection by conspicuous efficiency in
the discharge of their duties.
We should not cease to be hospitable

original states except Virginia), and
greater than the aggregate of five of
the smaller states in 1899. The center
