tho right of President pt o tem lugalls by
his o'd friend Captain Itassett, and an he
moved across the chamber over which he
presided for four years, ho was greeted by
a generous clapping of hands, the first
demonstration of thu day.
Mr. Illatne came in at this moment and
inodoatly took a seat at the extreme end of
the Senatorial IkhIv. but could not escape
discovery and a ripple of applause ran
over the chamlter. This was increased to
a wave as Senator Hale went down and
escorted him to a more promineut seat.
General John C. Fremont only shortly
preceded the entrance of General Sher
man and Major-General Schotield and
personal aides, the three latter being
gorgeously uniformed in gold and blue.
General Sherman wore a black Prince Al
bert w ith his U. A. U. badge on the lappel
of bis coat.
At eleven o'clock Messrs. McMillan,
Kelly and ISreckenridgc, of Arkansas the
members of the House committee ap
pointed to w nit on the President and ask
if he had any further communication to
make, appeared at the main doors and
were announced, whereupon Senators
Sherman and Saulsbury joined them and
retired.
Two minutes later the Justices of the
Supreme Court w ere announced, and with
becoming solemnity were escorted to their
seats to the right of the presiding officer,
headed by Marshal Wright and Clerk Mc
Kcnney. The latter carried in
his hand General Harrison's fam
ily Itible on which he afterward took
the oath of othco and Chief
Justice Fuller and Justice Miller walked
together, followed in pairs by Justices
Field, ltradley, Harlan, Gray, filatchford
and Lamar. Ex-Justice, Strong aad Re
porter Olio brought up the rear. As they
passed down tho aisle the assemblage on
the floor arose and remained standing un
til the Court was seated.
At 11:15 the executive gallery doors
were opened to admit th party ef ta

was accompanied by J. K. McCumtnou, of
this city, and the young ladies of her
family.
At ono minute to twelve Captain IJ.issett

heads of departments. Iiyard, Eudicott,

the assemb ago standing until all were
seated.
General Harrison on the arm of Senator
Hoar appeared at the door and was intro
duced by Captain Bassett as 'The President-elect
of the United States." and
walked with his companion to a seat pro
vided at President Cleveland's right, the
audience again rising to their feet.
The same ceremony was repeated with
Vico-Presideut-elect Morton. Before tak

Ingalls.

The Territory of Dakota has now a population'

Virginia), and greater than the aggregate of

The center of population, when our National

that it would move eastward rather than west

religion have been multiplied and strengthened.
The sweet offices of charity have greatly in
creased. The virtue of temperance is held ia
higher estimation. We have not attained aa
ideal condition. Not all of our people are happy
and prosperous: not all of them are virtuous

comforts of life are better than are found else

pllshed until the suggestions of reason were
strongly reinforced by the more imperative
v olee of experience.
The divergent Interests of peace speedily de
manded "a more perfect union." The mer
chant, the shipmaster and the manufacturer
discovered and disclosed to our statesmen and
to the people that commercial emancipation
must be added to the political freedom which
had been so bravely won. The commercial pol
icy of the mother country had not relaxed any
of its ard and oppressive features. To hold in
check the development of our commercial ma
rine, to prevent or retard the establishment and
growth of manufactures In the States, aod so
to secure the American market for their ships,
and the carrying trade for their ships, was the
policy of Kuropcan statesmen, and was pur
sued with the most selfish vigor.
Petitions poured In upon Congress urging the
imposition of discriminating duties that should
encourage the production of needed things at
home. The patriotism of the people which n
longer found a held of exercise in war was en
ergetically din ted to the duty of equipping the
young Republic for the defense of its independ
ence by making its people self dependent. So
cieties for the promotion of home manufactures
and for encouraging the use of doshe-tlcs In the
dress of the people were organized in many of
the States. Many of the revivals at the end of
a century of the patriotic interest in the de
velopment of domestic industries and the de
fense of the working people against injurious
foreign romDetitlon, is an incident worthy of at
tention It is not a departure hut a return
what we have witnessed. The nrotectlve pol
icy hail then its opponents. The argument was
made as now that Us benefits inured to partlru
larclasset or sections.
If the question became in any sense or at any
time sectional it was only because slavery ex
isted in some of the States. Hut for this, there
was no reason why the cotton producing States
should not have led or walked abreast with tho
New Kngland States in the production of co ton
fabrics. There whs this reason only why tho
States that divide with Pennsylvania the min
eral treasures of the great southeastern and
centnil mountain ranges should have been so
tardy in bringing to the smelting furnace and to
the mill the loal and iron from their opposing
bill sides.
Mill fires were lighted at the funereal pile of
slavery. The emancipation proclamation was
heard in the depths of the earth as well as in
the sky, men were made free and material
thin s liecam our better servants.
The sectional clement has happily been elim
inated from the tariff discussion. We have no
longer States that arc necessarily only planting
States. None arc excluded from achiev ing that
diversification of pursuit among the people
which brings wealth and contentment. The
cotton plantation w.ll not be less valuable when
the produit Is spun in the country town by
operative!, whose necessities call for diversified
crops and create a home demand for
garden and agricultural products. Kvery
new mine, furnace and factory is an extension
of the productive capacity of 11 State more real
and valuable than added territorv".
Shall the prejudices and pandv sis of slavery
continue to hang upon the skirts of progress
How long will those, who rejoice that slavery
no longer exists, cherish and tolerate the In
capacities it put upon their communities;
I look hoiiefully to the continuance of our pro
tective sy sit m and to the consequent develop
ment of manufacturing and mining enterprises
in tho Stat s hitherto wholly given to agncnlt
lire as a potent tntluenco in the perfect uuttlca
tlon of our p"ople. The men who hive invested
tlielr capital in those enterprises the fanners
who have felt the benctll of their neighborhood
and the men who work In shops or tit Id, will not
fail to tlnd and to defend a community of inter
est. Is It not quite possible that the farmers and
the promoters of the great mining und inanu
farttiiltu; enterprises which have recently been
established in the South, may yet tlnd that tho
free ballot of the working man. without dis
tinction of nice, is needed for their defense as
well us for his own? I do not doubt that if these
men ol the South who uow accept the tariff
views of Clay und the constitutional expositions
of Webster, would courageously avow and de-

fend their real convictions, they would not find
it difficult, by friendly inttruct'on and co
operation to make the black man their efficient
and safe ally not only in establishing cor
rect principles In our National Administration,
but in preserving, for their local communities,
the benefits of social order and economical and
honest government. At least until the Rood
offices of kindness and education have been
fairly tried, the contrary conclusion can not be
plausibly urged
I have altogether rejected the suggestion of
a special executive policy for any section of our
country It is the duty of the executive to ad
minister and enforce, in the methods and by
the instrumentalities pointed out and provided
by the Constitution, ail the laws enacted by
Congress. These laws are general and their
administration should be uniform and equal. As
a rititen may not elect what laws he will obey,
neither may the executive elect which
he will enforce. The duty to obey and
execute embraces the Constitution in its en
tirety and the whole code of laws enacted under
it. The evil ex ample of permitting individuals.
corporations and communities to nullify the
laws because they cross some selfish or local
interests or prejudices, is full of danger not
only to the Nation at large, bat much snore to
those who use this pernicious expedient to es
cape their just obligations or to obtain sa un
just advantage over other. They will present
ly ihetnselves be compelled to appeal to the
law for protection and those who would use
the law as a defense must not deny the use of
it to others.
It our sreat corporation would more scrupa
lously observe their lecal limitations and duties.
they would bare less csuse to complain of the
unlawful limitation of their right or of violent
Interference with their operations. The com
mamty that by concert, open or secret, among
its citizens denies to a portion of Its members
their plain rtfhts under the law has severed the
only safe bond of social order and prosperity.
The evil works from a bad center both ways.
It dem0rah7.es those who practice it, and de
stroys the faith of those who suffer by it ia the
efficiency of tfielawa a safe protector. The
man In w&ce breast that faith has bees dark
ened is naturally the subject of daastross and
uncanny stores t.'oas. Those who use unlawful
mcthCsls. if moved by so higher motive than
the selSshness that rroaiptcd them, may well
stop and inquire what is to be the end of this.

violation of laws that seem to then, to cross
their convenience, what caa they expect
when the lesson that convenience or
a suppoiel clas interest is a sufficient cause
for lawlessress has been well learned by the
Ignorant cla-'s! A community where law ts

execute its penalties, is the only t tractive held
for business investments and honest labor.
Our naturalization laws should be so amended
as io make the inquiry into the chaiaetTand
good disposition of prons applying for citizen
ship more tn eful and searching Our existing
laws have betn in their administration an un
impressive and often an untelligible
form. Wc accept the man as a citizen
without any knowledge of his ntness and he
assumes the duties of citizenship without
any knowledge as to what they arc The privi
leges of the American cit.ze nship are so great
and its duties so grave that we may well insist
on a good knowledge of every person applying
forcltlz-nshlp and a good knowledge by him of
our institutions We should not cease to be
hospitable to immigration, but we should cease
to be careless as to the character of it. There

revenues or a threat to scclal order. These
should be identified and excluded.
We have happily maintained a policy of avoid
ing all interference 1th Kuropeaa affairs. We
have been only interested spectators of their
content!- ns in diplomacy and war. ready to use
oar friendly offices to promote peace but never
obtruding our advice and never attempting un
fairly to coin the distresses of other powers in
to commercial advantage to ourselves. We
have a Just right to expect that our European
policy will be the American policy of
European courts. It is so manifestly
Incompatible with those precautions for our
peace and safety which ail the great powers
habitual y observe and enforce In matters af
fecting thm that a shorter water way between
our eastern and western seaboards, should be
dominated by any European Government that
we may confidently expect that such a purpose
will not be entertained by any friendly power.
We shall In the future as In the past use eery
endeavor to maintain and enlarge friendly rela
tions with all the grest Powers, but they will
not expect us to look kindly upon any project
that would leave us subject to the dangers of a
hostile otserv ation or env Iruntnent.
We have not sought to dominate or absorb
any of our weaker neighbors, but rather to aid
and encourage them to establish free and sta
ple t.overnments, resting u,kii the consent of
their own people We have u clear right to ex
pect, therefore, that no European Government
will seek to establish colonial dependench s
upon the. territory of those independent Amer

strains us from seeking they may bo reasona

It must not be assumed, however, tint our
Interests are so exclusively American that our
entire inattention to any event that may trans

Honorable party service will certainly not be

It Is entirely creditable to cek public office

therefore, be the best support of an applica

Heads of departments, bureaus aad li other
public officers having any duty connected there
with, will be expected to enforce the civil
service law fullv and without evasion. Beyond
this obvious duty I hope to do something more
to advance the reform of the civil service. The
ideal, even my own ideal. I shall probablt not
attain. Retrospect will be a safer basis of lodg

am sure, be able to put onr civtl service upon a

It Is very gratifying to observe the general
interest now lietng manifested In the reform of
our election laws. Those who have been for
years calling attention to the pressing necessity
of throwing about the ballot box and about the
elector further safeguards In order that our
1 ietioiis might not only be free and pure but
might clearly appear to he so, will welcome the
accession of any who did l.ot so soon
discover the need of reform The National Con
gress has not jet taken control of elec
tions in that case over which the Constitution
elves it Jurisdiction, but has accepted and
adopted the election laws of the several States,
provided penalties for their violation ami a
method of supervision. Only the Inefficiency
of the State laws or an unfair or partisan ad
ministration of them could siuvcst a departure
from this policy. It was clearly, hoaever. In
the contemplation of the framers of the Con
stitution that such an exigency might arise and
provision was wisely made for it. The fn cdoin
of the ballot ts a condition of our National life
and no power vested in Congress or In ihe ex
ecutive to secure or pemelualo it, should re-m-vln
unused ujmjh occasion.
The people of all the Congressional districts
have an equal interest that thu election in each
hall truly express the views and wishes of a
majority of the qualified electors residing within
It. The result of such elections are not local,
and the Insistence of electors residing in other
districts that they shall be 'pure and fredo s
not savor at all of impertinence. If. In any of
the States the public security is thought
to In.- threatened I y ignorance among
the electors, the obvious remedy Is educa
tion. The sympathies and help of our peo
ple will not be withheld from any community
struggling with sjK-cial embarrasmrnts or dif
ficulties connected with the suffrage. If the rem
edies proposed proceed upon lawful lines and
arc promoted by just and honorable methods
How shall those who practice election frauds
recover that respect for the sanctity of the bal
lot which Is the first condition und obligation of
good citizenship? The man who has come to re
