"3 yoor CLEVELAND. | INAUGURATION OF A PRESIDENT. - | Washington, March 4.—A better day | for the celebration of any such event never dawned than was to-day. Han | dreds of people did not go to bed last | night at all, but contented themselves in| walking the streets, anxious for the] dawning of day. Many of them carried grip sacks in hand, while a few held their] visiting clothes in bandboxes. At an] early hour the people began to fill the| streets and when the time for the forma-!| tion of the parade had arrived, the largest| number of people that this eity has prob-| ably ever seen patiently awaited the or-| der to march, All the stands that had| been erected for the occasion were pack-| ed. The housetops were lined with peo-| ple, and every available place from which | a glimpse of the procession could be ob-| tained was occupied, The profuse deco: rations fluttered in the morning breze| while contentment sat enthroned upon| every face. Precisely at 10 o'clock the| carriage containing President Arthur, President-elect Clevaland, Senators Bher- man and Ransom, followed by a carriage! containing the vice-president-elect and] Senator Hawley, were driven to the cap-| itol, and the scenes along the route baf-| fles description. The presidential party | was escorted Ly the First division aloe, After the inaugural ceremonies, the pro- cession which moved from the capitol was the largest ever seen on such an oc casion. The civic portion of the parade was of unusual length, included bodies representing many states in the Union, while the military display was surpassing | grand. Along Pennsylvania avenue, where the prominent stand had been] erected, one could obtain a fair idea as to! what organizations were being appreci-| ated. At one particular place where pro-| bably thousands were standing the favor-| ite body would receive such applause as | is only given to genuine worth. | Washington entertains to-day 100,000 strangers.

In the exercise of their power and right of self-government they have committed to one of their fellow citizens ag supreme and sacred trust, and he here consecraies himself to their service. This impressive ceremony adda little to the soletnn sense of responsibility with whieh I contemplate the duty I owe to all the people of the land, Nothiog can relieve me from anxiety lest by any act of mine their interests may suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my reso: lution to engage every facuity and effort in the promotion of their welfare. Amid the din of party strife the peo ple's choice was made ; but its attended circumstances have demonstrated anew the strength and safety of a government by the people. In each succeediog year it more clearly appears that our demos eratic principle n no apology, and : i} s on ib 3 me of good govern nt. But the best results in the operation of a government where in every citizen has a share, largely de. pend upon a proper limitation of purely partizan zeal and effort, and a correct ap- preciation of the time when the of the partisan should be patriotism of the citizen, To-day the executive branch of government is transferred to new ing.

THE POLICY OF PEACE The genius of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, and the attention which is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any depar- ture from the foreign policy commended by the history, the traditions and the prosperity of our republic. It is the poii- oy of independence, favored by our posi. tion and defended by our known love of justice and opr power, It is the policy of peace, suitable to our interests, It is the policy of neutrality, rejecting any share of foreign broils and ambitions upon oth. er continents, and repelling their intru- sion here, It is the policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jefferson “Peace, commerce and friendship to all nations; entangling alliance with none.” THE NATIONAL VINAEUES A doe regard for the interests and pros perity of all the people demands that our finances shall be established upon sucha the safety and confidence of business in terosts and make the wage of Ia and steady, and that our systom f rove that in its fearless and faithtul applica tion jst be found the surest guaranty ue he so adiasted as to relieve ihe pe | | i | i i | 2, { vested and employed in American industries, and preventing ti § n of a surplus in the treas extravagance and waste, workingmen umnlatio empt 3 § { Ww i PUBLIC DOMAIN, property of of future settlers, at the public domain should be £ gh (in w Lb i} quire ui protected from purloining schemes a unlawful occupation.
