HARRISON'S INAUGURAL.
FROM REPUBLICAN,
DEMOCRATIC AND MUGWU9IP
NEWSPAPERS

| COMBINATION FROM REPUBLICAN
r DEMOCRATIC AND NUGwU1IP
NEWSPAPERS.
New York Tribune tRepl
Eloquent and in every way admirable
in tone, breathing spirit of genuine
, patriotism, appealing to the higher mo
tives and better feelings of political op-
, pOnents, it is in the only praisewOrthy
sense nOn-partiSan, and yet seeks no
shallow approval by any cOncealment of
sacrifice of conviction.
New York sun (Dem,)
1t is a modest, sensibly conceived and
eXceliently written esay on the state Of
the Union. 1t contains no surprise, no
novelty of political philosophy, no start
ling announcement of administrative
policy.
New York World (Dem)
The outline of a foreign policy is per
haps the most satisfactory passage in
the Presidents address. It's bold with
out bluster and calm without cringing.
The reference to American rights in
SOmOa is especially admirable.
New York Times (AIug)
No one will conclude from a perusal
of President Harrison's inaugural ad-
dress that his administration is to be
marked by the adoption of extreme
views or the use of nusual and danger
Gus methods.
New York Star (Deml
1t is document vigorous at times,
and much more positive and candid on
certain political points than was gener-
! ally expected.
/ New York Herald (Dem)
I President Harrison's inaugural ad-
dress strikes us as the deliverance of an
/ entirely sincere and extremely clear
minded man, who has faith enough in
! his political beliefs to say what he thinks
and who has no afterthoughts or re-
/ serves. 1t is the first message in recent
! times in which President has planted
himself and his party squarely on pro-
tective tariff policy.
Mail and Express (Repl
From beginning to end its high tone
is sustained-great themes are ably and
concisely treated; no living issue is
evaded: every sentence is characteristic,
Enthusiastically the expression of the Pres
ident'S own views.
New York Telegram (Dem.)
The inaugural address of President
Harrison is the most unmitigated dish
of mush ever presented to the Ameri-
can public.
Boston Journal (Repl
1t is the utterance of a man who has
positive and well grounded convictions,
and whose views of national questions
are the result of careful study and va
ried experience. There is no trace of
indecision anywhere. On the other
hand, there is an equally conspicuous
absence of that kind of independence
which is impatient of counsel. The ad-
dress confirms the impression that Pres
ident Harrison will be the head of his
administration, but that his policy will
be devoid of dOgmatism and all undue
self-assertion.
Boston Herald Ind Dem)
1t is closely in a line with the declara- |
tions of the Chicago platform and the /
statements made during the campaign |
of last fall by those who represented the
dominant wing of the Republican par
ty. On the tariff issue he plants him |
self in favor of protection in much the /
same attitude that President Cleveland /
assumed respecting tariff reform; that t
is, as its firm believer and unqualified 1
supporter.
Boston Globe cleveland Dem.)
Friends can find little to praise in it,
enemies little to criticise.
Inquirer (Rep)
1t is, all in all, an address full of en-
to the country, promising
a strong and robust administration,
the magnitude of the coun-
try, its multifaTious interests and con-
stantly increasing requirements. twill
appeal to the best judgment of the COM
mon people, which is always to be
trusted.
Times Dem.l
President HarrisOn's inaugural adj
dress is a plain, straightforward, tenn
perate state paper.
Union Qndy
Taken as a whole or in detail the ad-
dress will give great satisfaction to all
who are more Americans than partisans,
because it is intensely patriotic in tone,
without bombaSt of any sort, and be-
cause it affords natural and easy So
luton of every question treated; and it
will give satisfaction to national pride
because it is in literary sense a per-
feet paper and reveals an intellect
capable of grasping and dealing with the
national questions which an
Executive is expected to deal with.
