Gentlemen of the .'General Assembly, friends and Fellow Citizens: Four years ago, at the close of an administration that engendered bitter ness between the races, and promoted "ot instead cf peace, the pre seat re uing administration commenced lt3 Arduous laoors, under an amendment to our organic law, far-reaching in its provisions, and untried as to its' re sults. Enemies of the measure pre Gicted that dire calamity wouiu foliow s enactment and enforcement, that isce prejudice would be deepened, and lawlessness and disorder prevail; while its friends claimed, -at by cur r11JcS tne negro's power at the ballot jx. and eliminating ignorant and irre sponsible blacks from participating in and county government, order wouli be brought cut cf chaos," -and peace and safety assured. The effects of the amendment have Een rcct beneficial. " There is now friction between the races, and our "Ute, -fter bitter turmoil, stands re asd strengthened in ail matters "Noivmg its material, educational and woral welfare. Today, no one save e vicious, who desire to u.se the ne ?,y vote for corrupt purposes, wculd and 1y see the amendment repealed.

Your power is truly great, and should be exercised whely and with discretion, for you can enact, amend, suspend cr repeal all laws, thus having in your keeping the weal or woe of the State.

With no desire to in fringe upon or usurp any of the pr rcgatives vested la the other two branches, I will strictly adhere to my duties, and from time to time inform the General Assembly of the affairs of the State and recommend to it such measures as to me seem expedient an best. Whether the Legislature i ejects or ar-opts my suggestions is a matter for its wisdom, but as the Chief Execu tive of the State I will enforce the laws you enact, and hold all who refuse to obey them to the strictest accountabili ty. I hope to freely, confer vith your members at all times, and on all sub jects, and I respectfully tender to you access to the papers, records or infor mation possessed by this office, which might Leip in your investigations or aid in the proper enactment of laws. Elevated by the people to the posi tion of Chief Magistrate and loving ray State devotedly, it will be my honest pleasure and desire to conserve its best and highest interest. Mistakes, I will doubtless make, and often my best endeavors may prove my worst failures; I have taken a solemn oath to perform the duty cf this high oface, ?nd to keep that cath will be my one purpose and - constant prayer. I feel deeply the responsibility I have as rumed, and beg the hearty, support cf all who love the State and rejoice in ts success. I understand tfiat some fear because a zealous partisan, I will prove a partisan Governor. I have in deed little respect for a man that is not positive in his political beiief, or is ashamed of his party; I am a Demo crat from principle; I love my party. and will both follow and maintain its teachings, but In the discharge of my official duties, I will be the Governor of all tho people of every condition, race and party. I invite honest criti cism of any public acts, but I -beg to remind those who may wish to aid me. that advice beforehand, aids more than censure afterwards. Newspapers with their opportunities of acquiring knowledge and ascertain ing the public will, can materially as sist me by friendly suggestions and timely warnings. I, therefore , ask their help and will appreciate their kindness. I invoke the support and prayers of all good people, and placing by reli ance cn the- Sovereign Ruler of the Universe, and asking cf Him strength and guidance, I enter upon the dis charge cf my duties. In their proper fulfillment I solemnly pledge myself in this presence that I will do all in my power to bring peace instead of discord, progress and not disaster, good and not evil, into the hearts and homes cf the generous and great people who have reposed in me this most honorable and responsible trust.
