Washington News.

WASHINGTON, March THE inaugural
address Of the President is admitted by all
TO be remarkably able paper. In giving
an outline Of the general policy he proposes
to pursue In matters of administration and
appointments, he states his position In
terms which the politicians here do nor
misinterpret. They already realize that
this will net be a spoilsman's administra-
tion, and therefore the selections for ap-
pointments will be made from men of
recognized fitness for the positions and not
solely for the party service, regardless OF
qualifications. The
President Cannot be Misunderstood
in his position, as he has always main
tanned that machine politics should not
control his acts in the performance of a
high public trust and successful govern
ment for the whole people cannot be at
tained on the doctrine that the ofiiDes are
spoils for the reward of party service.
BY this he does not mean that Demo
Gratis should not be appointed to Office as
he does not intend, as a rule, to appoin
any Others, but his selections will b,
made from the better class of Democrats
who have the confidence and support Of
the best elements Of the people in the
communities in which they reside. The
independent element In the political senti-
ment Of the country represented by Sec
retary Of State Gresham will have its share
of recognition. That wing of the Demo
cratic party which has been antagonizing
the views of the president on financial
questions, and, particularly the free coin
age advocates, if they persist in their an
tauOnlgfic IN h.
treated as part and parcel of
The Administration Support.
In the readjustment of parties on the
live issues which divide public sentiment
today the president intends TO draw the
lines rigidly. and by that means organize
the sentiment of the country which is In
iavor Of sound money and a conservative
policy into party opposed 10 the free coin
sge and free trade. In his inaugural mes
sage he foreshadows distinctly and emphat-
ically the policy which he proposes to fol-
low on this subject. He expects to receive
the cordial approval of not only the Demo
cratic party, but the independent Republi-
cans who supported him for president in
the late contest.
