President McKinley's inaugural address
Is happy statement OF honest convictions
and purposes. His language Is simple. d.
rect and forceful, and he avoids those
pompous rhetorical fiourishes which char
acterized the messages OF his predecessor.
Much has been said In regard to the pres
idents views on the financial question, but
he has remained silent until he assumed
the reins OF government. Then with wise
selection he chooses for his first topic
the money question. In stating his person
al convictions he shows that his opinion Is
practically unchanged. lie Expressed him
self long before the money question be-
came national issue as In favor Of RAJ
tional bimetallism and he does not recede
from that position.-Detroit Tribune.
Tho most notable feature OF tbs address
Is it's fidelity TO the high ideals OF Will
liam Mckinley. IL ia a conspicuous observ-
ance OF the counsel: ITO thine own self be
true" The people Of this country have
