GOVERNOR ODELL,

when Governor Roosevelt rose to extend
formal greeting to Governor Odell.
Governor OdeIl remained standing while
Governor Roosevelt addressed him. and
Mt the conclusion Of the latter's remarks
he delivered his inaugural address.
The oath Of office was then admins
tered by Secretary of State John r. Me-
Donough on u new Bible purchased for
the occasion.
Governor Odell's inaugural address was
in part as follows:
with the assumption of responsible
ties come doubt and uncertainty which
even the applause and good wishes of our
friends cannot entirely dissipatc. ESpe-
cially is this true of him into whose
Keeping is placed the administration of
the affairs of our commonwealth. New
York. an empire in itself, with its vast
population. its many and diverse inter-
cSts, demands from its chief executive
the greatest conservatism, wisdom as to
Its needs and that its business affairs
shall be transacted with economy and
good Judgment.
Under our form of government, when
the will of the majority has been OK
pressed, we should forget our partisan-
ship in our desire to uphold and strength
on the hands of those whom for the time
being we have clothed with authority
and upon whom the responsibility for
the proper enforcement Of our laws is
placed.
THE burdens of taxation should be so
adjusted as to fall lightly upon those
who cun i'll afford to bear them and be
borne more generously by those who have
received from the state protection and
rights which have given to their vast
business interests the success that they
deserve.
coordination in restraint of individual
rights should be curbcd and welcome
extended to all whose energy and genius
will add to the luster and fame of the
Empire State and aid us in unfolding uul
business and commercial supremacy.
eff in the performance of these duties
] shall in n measure be as successful as
have - many Of my predecessors; if up
on the threshold Of Il new century, with
all of its possibilities, the positive and af.
frmativc action OF the incoming admins.
tration can aid in solving those great
questions which so much interest us,
shall feel as much pride in the contempla.
ton Of such results as you do, sir, as you
look back upon the success which has
attended your administration"

WEDNESDAY. JANUARY =. 1901,

THAT John Hum is the right man
10 the right place was shown last
Monday evening. during the confer
ence OF Observation-Disclosures over
organizing the House and Senate.
He went into the conference of the
Regulars and talked like Sentle-
! man, and a fellow Republican who
had the good OF the party at heart.
He won out and the conference re-
suited in the organization OF both
branches OF the Legislature. with
the Senate presided over pro tenn.
BY Regular Repu olican and the
House by a Union Republican.
while the Offices oil both bod'ea we're
equally divided between the Regu-
lars and Un!onists. Both Houses
were organized yesterday and the
Legislature is now ready Tor BUSH
ness, which will. without doubt, be
expeditiously transacted. The bal.
loting tor U. S. Senators will CON.
mence on the 18th inst, and 1t is
hoped that both Senators will be
selected without any further trou-
bic. We are anxious Tor Republic
can success in this State, and the
Democrats are anxious hat the Re-
publicans should commit some
blunder whereby they should be
benefited. but happily the Republic
can members alter talking over the
situation, came to the conclusion
that the best interests Of the party
would be better served by the Re-
publleans organizing 1t. The
Democrats were nonpiussed when
they found they had been out-geu-
eraled. The deal was offered the
Regular Republicans by the Demo.
Gratis that they would help them
organize the Legislature If they
would guarantee not to be a party
to the unseating Of Senators Nc
Nulty and Scotch. BY this move
the Democrats would have a tie in
the next Senate two wears hence.
but it McNulty and Scotch were
removed and their places filed the
two Republicans who have filed no.
hi%Co VI AoutSst, tLSu tiic hcAt oSh-
ate will be Republican, by two ma
jority. Every scheme known TO the
Democrats was submitted to the
Republicans to get them to bite,
but the trap failed to catch the
game. The Democrats are now dis
mayed and have settled down to the
inevitable and are taking their de-
feat philosophicallv. The Lcgisla-
ture is now ready Tor business and
1t is to be hoped that it shall be
done expedItlously and without any
hitch and thus get all business Of
any Importance out Of the way by
