Mckinley I
Hail To The Chief !

D d
The Inauguration of William
Mckinley as President of the
United States at Washington
last Thursday was one OF the
most sublime pageauts in the an.
nails of American history. Count.
less thousands were present to
witness the event, which marks q
new era in the nations progress.
The day itself was a happy au.
curry Of that prosperity which is
beginning to dawn. Instructive.
ly the people all over the coun.
try feel that the better times are
already here. President Nc
Kinley enters upon the discharge
of his duties with the good will
of the whole people. and we are
now living in what may be called
an "era. of good feeling" The
approach to it is as near as can
be made under existing condi.
tons, and is wonderful in view
of the crisis through which we
have just passed.
The inaugural address of Presi.
dent Mckinley is plain and to the
point. The new chief magistrate
wastes no words in his address
to the people. He recognizes
the fact thatthe financial system
needs revision. He favors inter.
national bi-metallism, demands
public economy, and recommends
new tariff. Notice is given
that Congress will be assembled
in extra session March 10. Major
Mckinley declares his unequivo.
cal oppositippto trusts. ~.
The American people realize
that they now have . President
who has the burden Of their vel.
fare on his heart, and that in
his strong hands their interests
will be safe.

Rice and Barton's Comedians,
the attraction at the opera house
Wednesday, March 18th, received
the following Enforcement. from
the Philadelphia Press: Rice and
Barton have established a repu-
tation which they invariably sus-
tain, and have equipped their
new organization with new cos
tunes and glittering scenery, as
we'll as surrounded themselves
with artists Of the highest rank,
including frankie Haines, Wash
burn Sisters, Crawford and Man
ming, Irwin T. Bush, Phillips and
Robinson, Clara Lawrence and
Barton and Eckotf. Their pro,
gram sparkles with fresh features.
"a Trip to Boston, a nautical
absurdity, opens the show and is
resplendent with handsome cos
tunes and elaborate scenery. 1t
serves to introduce a number of
sweet songs and graceful dances.
The olio is made up of select
specialties. AS a satire, aNaughty
Coney Island" the extravaganza,
is one of the richest the author
has ever conceived. Pretty girls
abound and disport themselves
in songs and dances, while the
everyday life of Coney Island, TO-
gether with the rich festivities,
affords scenes, situations and. I'M
cidents that must be witnessed to
be fully appreciated. Among
the sensations promised is 9 Five
Naughty Girls From Paris, head
ed by frankie Haines."

perfume, says the Fayette Jour.
nal, to review in a small way, at
least, the administrations that
have preceded the one just be.
ginning.
The first Governor of the State
was Arthur l. Foreman, a native
of Wood county. During the
term of his administration he re-
signed to accept an election as
United States Senator. His res.
ignation took effect just two days
before his term was to expire,
and D. T. Farnsworth, being
President Of the Senate, succeed
ed Boreman, serving as Governor
two days.
w. E. Stevenson was the sec
ond, or rather the third, Governor
of the State. He was a carpenter
by trade, but by diligent study
and reading became man of in
telligence and learning. He
served the people satisfactorily,
but was defeated for the second
term by j. J. Jacob, of Hampshire
county. In 1872 the constitution
of the State was changed, and
with its provisions new cleo
ton was held midway Jacobs
term. Jacob again made the race
and defeated johnson N. Camden
in the race.
In 1876 the race was between
Henry Mathews and Judge Ma
than Golf. The State was at the
time strongly Democratic and
Golf was defeated.
Four years later Jacob B. Jack
son became Governor, having de-
feated for the election Geo. q.
Sturgiss, of Morgantown.
The next race was between
Judge Maxwell, Of harrisburg.
and E. W. Wilson, of Charleston.
The administration of Wilson is
hardly forgotten at this time. 1t
was he who, by trickery, perpe-
trated election frauds, by which
the Fourth Congressional dis
trict was given a Democratic rep
resentative despite the will of the
people. Other atrocities are
charged against the Wilson adj
ministration.

tors and at l2o'clock there was
vast throng gathered in front OF
the State House which had been
deliberately decorated for this
suspicious occasion. A few
minutes before the inaugural
hour, Governor-elect Atkinson
was driven to the Capitol grounds
accompanied by his staff. The
brilliant new uniforms glittered
in the morning sunlight, and the.
magnificent horses moved with
stately step. One of the most
attractive companies of the es-
cort was the Elkins Cadets of
Wheeling. At the Appointed
hour Governor MacCorkle APP
peared on the front protico of
the State house and delivered
his farewell address at the close
of which he presented to the
waiting throng Governor Atkin-
son who delivered his inaugural
address and took the oath pro
nounced by Judge 81. Q. Nc
Whorter Of the Supreme Court.
Gov. MacCorkle's speach was
eloquent, patriotic and SO cordial
and nonpartisan in its tone that
on every side could be heard the
much merited compliment che
has been one of the best Demo
cratic governors the State has
had" Elsewhere we reproduce
extracts from theaddress of Gov.
Atkinson and regret that we
have not space to publish it in
full as it is without doubt mas
terly grafton.
The display of fire works on
the night of the fourth was far
and away the grandest ever seen
in the State. The whole sky
was a blaze of many colored
lights. In one scene, the portrait
of Gov. Atkinson appeared as a
result of the blending of colored'
lights.
The reception and ball in the
Capitol was another scene of
grandeur and splendor. The
great halls were gorgeously dec
GRATED and in the senate chamber
and the house were splendid eff.
fects wrought in banners, es-
cutcheons and golden eagles
with extended pinions. The beau
ty and fashion Of the State were
there. Hon. Fred Paul Grosscup
of Charleston was chief director
of the inaugural arrangements
and all must admit in this role
he was a great success.

able tact never showed itself to
better advantage than in two in.
lcidents that have occurred since
his inauguration. Though small
an themselves they illustrate the
character of the man and indicate
d purpose to keep in close touch
with the people. The first of these
incidents was his reply to the
Notification Committee of the
Senate, in which he asked them
to express his "kindly greetings
to the Senate'-a sentiment in
which Grover Cleveland never
indulged-and the second was his
appearance on the streets of
Washington last Saturday after
noon walking with his private
secretary, and with no private de
active skulking in the rear to
ard off possible molesters.
washington saw nothing Of
Cleveland, except in a carriage,
generally closed. Even when he
went for a railway journey he
sNdom entered the station, but
aiighted from his carriage in the
railway yard and boarded the
car on a side track there. ! do
not believe that Cleveland ever
walked a mile in all on the streets
of Washington during his S years
as President. He acted like a
hunted hare. who feared a pack
of hounds at his heels. Yet all
Of Cleveland's predecessors were
familiar figures on the streets OF
Washington, and no instance is
known Of their being molested or
Treated with any but the great
|test respect. Grant was perhaps
Et most democratic Of all, prob
ably because Of his army life. BE
not only spent much time walk
ing, but oftened sauntered into
the hotellobbies and chatted with
friends while he smoked a cigar.
Hayes did notdo this, but enjoyed
an afternoon stroll along Pennsyl-
vania avenue, and delighted in
making small purchases of things
that caught his eye in the shop
windows.
Garfield, of course, was well
known in Washington before he
became President, but he died
before his ways as Chief Execu.

and Harrison took their after.

trotters, and both handled the
reins with dexterity. They pre-
ferred fast driving to walking,
