phasiZed the complete restoration OF
national unity More interesting and
significant even than this, perhaps, in
the eyes of other nations and the his
torian, were the manifestations OF the
marvellous growth of the country ia
population and power, and the fact
| that this majestic ceremonial in the
government of 90, 600, COO OF people was
accomplished according to cut and
| dried formula, every step Of which was
planned ard publicly announced be
| forehand, and without noticeable dis
| turbance OF public interest or the Gre
alton or any excitement except that
| naturally accompanying a great ma
tional pageant and the influx OF two
| or three hundred thousand sigh-seers
| into the capital.

| down and take up the reins of power
respectively; the pageant of the re-
| turning procession and review after

THE INAUGURATION CEREMONIES.
All these, prelimlnarfes having been
| duly disposed of, the Vice-President
| coed to the execution of the order of
| the Senate relative to the inaugura-
| tion of the President of the United
States. The procession to the east
portico of the capitol was then begun.
He followed the same course pur-
sued by himself eight years agosof de-
livering his address first, and taking
the oath afterwards. NotWit hStand--
ing the exceedingly inclement weather,
Mr.. Cleveland removed his silk hat
and with barred head addressed the
multitude. He kept his oyercoat on
and secured what warmth he could
for the fingers of his right hand by
keeping it in his overcoat pocket,
holding his hat at his side in his left
hand. which was protected from the
weather by his glove. The wind had
been rising and turning colder ever
since noon and Mr.. Cleveland's task
must have been attended with consid-
cradle personal discomfort, but he
gave no sign of it and steadily con-
tinued his address until the close.
MY Fellow Citizens
I'm obedience to the mandate of my
countryrlen, / am about to dedicate
myself to their service under the sane
tion of a solemn GATH
ssDeeply moved by the expression Of
/
which has called nae to this service, i
am sure my gratitude can make no
better return than the pledge / now
give, before God and these witnesses,
of unreServed and complete devotion
TO the interests and welfare of those
who have honored me.
Il deem it fitting on this occasion,
while Indicating the opinions / hold
concerning public questions of press
ing importance, to also briefly refer to
the existence of certain conditions
and tendencies among our people,
which seem to menace the integrity
and usefulness of their government.
While every American citizen must
contemplate, with the utmost pride
and enthuiasIn, the growth and ex-
pansion of our country, the sufficiency
of our institutions to stand against
the rudest shock of violence, and the
wonderful thrift and enterprise Of our
free government, it beho0ves us to
constantly watch for every symptom
of insidious inhrmity that threatens
our national yigOT.
he strong man, who, in the conf
dence of sturdy health, courts the
sternest activities of life and rejoiees
In the hardihood of constant labor,
may still have lurking near his vitals
the unheeded disease that dooms him
t0a sudden collapse. 1t cannot Dedoubt-
ed that our stupendous achievements
as people and our colntry1s robust
strength have given rise to d needless
ness OF those laws governing our ma
tional health, which we can no more
evade than human life can escape the
laws OF God and nature.
a SOUND CURRENCY NECESSARY
sManifestly nothing is more vital
TO our supremacy as d nation aud the
beneficent purposes Of our government
than sound and stable currency. It's
