Cleveland In President, DeinocrutlcMeiintc Hum lieen Sworn In, uml the County Is Our? Once More. I'ryui the CL&rlotte News. Washiglos, D. C , March 4. A big snow Btorm is prevailing here today, hat that did not prevent the inauguration ot Grover Cleveland as Presi lent. He took the oath of of fice b few minutes after 3 o'clock. The city is fairly packed, and the wind and snow makes it exceeding ly uncomfortable for the vi?itort. The display of military is the great est ever known here. Sixty tbous aud men wera iu the parade, accord ing to the estimate of the grand marshal, Gen. McMahon. The crowd present is the greatest that has ev er been known in the history of Washington. Although the snow ceased at 1 o'clock, the weather continues rough thi af'ernoon, and nearly all the Charlotte visitors will return liomH tonight, Mr. Cleveland's in nu2ural address was breif, and was jut about what was outlined in The Ken's a few days ago. Th" scenes, nfter the oath was taken, or j'.ir hs Cleveland kissed the book, were indescribable- The shouts and cheers were deafening, and the enthusiasm manifested was of the wildest sort- T'ie merely official part of the in auguration of the new government did not take very long, nor was tbe ceremony very impressive, hut an imensf crowd was present at the Capitol, and the disappointment of those who could not get iu the buil ding to witne it wag creat. Cards were issued for admission to the Capitol on inauguration day. There was a terrible pressure to get pos sesion of tickets, but the number was necessarily limited, and the persons disappointed were vastly in excess of thos who did get adroit M'n. The officers of the Capitol pre usually vigorous in the enforcement of the orders of tbe serjeant-at-Hitns of the Senate to exclude all I'uti the holders of tickets, and while they were roughly abused bv "any free born citizens who "walk h1 all the was to Washington to see Grover inaugurated,'' or who had not hud their hair cut since his first election and though that they should be entitled to i-ome consid eration, or who knew their right as c izens and part owner? of the b riding, they kept the doors closed ' !! but the chosen few who had sMcient poll with Senators or ra-'-ubcrs of the House to get tick ets. A hundred thousand people sur ro'iuded the building without, but within the purpose was to avoid all ci)wdiug;aud to leave a clear way from the Senate chamber to the stand at the east front of the Capi tol, where the oath was adrainis t red to the new President and w ere he delivered his inaugural a 1 !res. This staud took up the entire space of the east main porti co and stairway leading to the ro om da. The F.fty-se:ond Congress was in existence and iu session until 12 deck to day. The Congress l:ved u-itil 12 o'clock by the Senate time piece Shortly before 12 o'clock the I'. evident aud his cabinet and the President-elect aud the Vice-President aud the the Yice-Presldent leci reached the Capitol, having been escorted from the V bite House by the inaugural procession through a clamcrous crowd: The outgoing and the incoming Presidents aud the cabinet occupied the President' room, and Mr: Mor ton and Mr. Steveuson occapied ilae Vice President's room. Shortly be l re noon they assembled in the Senate chamber, members of th Houe and Senate and Supreme Court being present. At two min utes before 12 the retiring Vice President adminisfned the oath of office to hi? successor, and then I arcrconfident that euch an ap with a very brief address at theiproaeh to the sul ject will result in srroke of twelve decl ired the Sen-j j rodent and effective remedial leg ate cf the Fifty-second Congress i Nation. In the meantime, so far adjourned without day. The new ; s the executive branch of the gov Vice-President, an extra Session ot Uroment can intervene, none cf tee the Senate having meanwhile bef n powers with which it is invested called, then called the Senate of the I will be withheld, when their exer Fifty-third Congaes to ordfr and cise is deemed necessary to main administered the oath to all the j tain our rational credit or avtrt fii nwly lected Senators. This having been done, the new Senate tool: a recess, and the pro- Cjss;on moved from the Senate chamber to the east front of the Capitol. The way wa3 led by the sprgeant-at-arms and a squad ot Capitol police. Then followed the ! 1 refer to tbe prevalence of a popu President and the President-elect, Ur disposition to expect, from the the Vice Piesidimr, an d the ex-Vtce operation of the government ts President, the cheif justice, mem - j pvcial and direct individual ad b'-rs of th Senate and of the Hou-e ! vantages. The verdict of our voters, and vairons oilicials of the twe v hich condemned tbe injustice of houses and of the Supreme Court j maintaining protection for protec and other who had tickets to tbe ! tion's sake, enjoins upon tbe people's stand. The oath of office was adminis tered to the the President-elect by the cheif justice, and the new Presb dent delivered his inangural ad dress. This over, Mr. Cleveland was ready to go back to the President loom, aud from there to be escorted to tne White house, while the clam orous crowd cheered, tbe cannons boomed, flags waved, and there was a wild expression of rejoicing- The Senate reconvened after the formal j ceremony of administering the oath, jind was ready at one to confirm the cabinet. The administering of the oath by the Cheif Justice was really all there was cllicially of too inaugura tion of the new President- bnt the crowd, and the procession, the ad dress and all the noise and reioic ing, made up the great demonstra tion of the day. irvAUCiUlivi, AIDJMCXSSS. Mound Ilemocralic Doctrino. FellowCitisens : In obedience to the mandate of my countrymen. I am about to dedicate m self to their service under tbe sanction ot a solemn oath. Deeplv moved by the expression of confidence and personal attachment which has called me to his service, I am sure my gratitude can make no betfer return than the pledge I now give before God and these witnesses of unreserved and complete devotion to the interests and welfare of those who have honored me. I deem it fitting on this occasion while indicating the opinions I hold concerning public questions of pres ent importance, to alse briefly refer to the existeuce of coming condi tions and the tendencies among our peo.de which seem to menace the c.sef uluess of ther goverement. While every Americau citizen must contemplate with the utmost pride aud enthusiasm the growth and ex pansion of our country, the suffi ciency ot our institutions to stand Against the rudest ocks of vio--ience, the wonderful thrift and en terprise of our free government, it behooves us to constantly watch for every symptom of insidious infirmi- tv that threatens our national vigor. The strong man who in the conti--j cence of sturdy health courts the sternest activities ot life and re joices iu the hardihood of constant labor, may still have lurking near:'1" people is the best guarantee of his vitals an unheeded disease that dooms him to a sudden collapse. CURRENCY. It cannot be donbted that onr stupendous achievements as a peo- I tion of public lunds is avoided when pie a'id our country's robust ! appointments to office, instead ot strength has given rise to heedless- 1 being rewards of partisan activity, ness ot the laws governing our na-i Jir awarded to these whose erlicien tional heal lb, which we can no morels promises a fair return of work evarje than human life can escape! for TDe compensation paid to tbem. the laws of God and nature, Man-!

FATEENaLISM. Closely related to the exaggerated confidence in our country's great- ness which tends to a disregard of the rules of national safety, ano'ber danger confronts us not less serious. servants the duty of exposing and destroying the brood of kindred evils which are the unwholesome progency of paternalist. This is the bine ot republican institutions md the constant peril of our gov ( rumeiit by the people-. It degrades lo purposes of wily ciaft the place of rule our fathers established and bequeathed to us as tne object of our love and veneration. It pre vertb the patriotic sentiment of onr countrymen, and tempts them to pitiful calculations of sordid gain to be derived from their government's maintenance. It undermines the self reliance of our people and sub stitutes in its place dependence upon governmental favoritism. It st flfis the spirit ot true Americanism, and s;upe6es every tnobliug trait of American citizenship. The lessons of paternalism ought to be unlearn ed and the better lesson taught, that while the people should patriot icaliy and cheerfully support their govern ment, its functions do not include he support of the people. The acceptance of this principle l-adstoa reiusal of bounties and subsides, which burden labor and : no thrift of a portion of our citi zens, to aid ill advised or languish-, ing enterprises, in which they have do concern. It leads also to a chal lenge of wild aud reckless pension expenditure which overleaps the oou nds of grateful recognition of patriotic service, and prostitutes to vicioas uses the people's prompt and generous impulse to aid those disabled in their country's defense FRUGALITY. Every thoughtful Americau must raaiiz the importance of checking at its beginning any tendency, in pubiic or private station, to regard frugality and economy as virtues which we may safely outgrow. The toleration cf this idea results in the waste of the people's money by their onosn servants, and encourages prodigality and extravagance iu the home life of our countrymen. Under our scheme ot government ne waste of public money is a crime against the citizens, and the coutant o; our people for economy and fru gality tn their personal affairs de plorably saps the strength and s urdiuess of onr national character Ut H the plain dictate of honesty and -lo government that public ex. j iJendilures should be measured by rules of strict economy, and it is equally clear and frugality among the contented and strong support ot free institutions. CIVIL SERVICE, Oo6 mode ot the uiisappropria- rod action aud fixing ptices, is in- j consistent wilh a fair field 5?hich i ought to be open to every indepen ! dent activity. Legitimate strife in business should not be scperseded by enforced concession to the de mands of combinations that have power to destroy, nor should tbe people to be served lose the benefit of cheapness, which usaally results from wholesome competition, Theee aggregations and combinations fre quently constitute conspiracies against tbe interests of the people, and iu all their phases they are nn natural and opposed to our Ameri can sense of fairnfss. To the extent that they can be reached and re strained by Eedera', power, the general government should relieve our citizens from their interference and exactions. Loyalty to the principles upon which our government rests posis tively demands that the (quality beo-re law which it guarantees to every citizen frhonh! be justly and in good faith conceded in all pails of the land. The enjoyment of this right follows the badge cf r ifizeni ship wherever found, ond unimpair ed by race or color, it appeals for recognition to American man'iness and fairness. Onr relations with the Indians located within our borders in.-poe upon as responsibilities we cannot escape. Humanity and consistency require gs to treat them with for bearance, and in our dealings with them to hone-fly and considerately tegard their rights and interes's. Every effort should be made to lead them through the paths of civiliza tion and education to self-suppoit ing and independent citizenship. In the meantime, as the nation's waujs, they should be promptly defended against the cupidity of designiug men ar:d shielded from every i'lAu uence or temptation that retards tf.eir advancement. TARIFF REFORM. The people of the United S'aVs have decided that on this day tlo c :ttrol of thir governmetst In its legislative -:nd executive bra nolo s shall be given ?o a political party, pledget in the most positive rern i to the a:.'0:'ipli-bniei:t of i Y re ! form. Tnev have thus determined I in favor of mote just, and q ii;- 1!h system of Federal tav,tt' ; . T e ! agents they !me ciion :o i ou'lheir purposes are hound i.y j their promises, not less lhn by she ; command of their masters, to de- vote themselves unremittingly to j th s service. While there should l3 no surrender of principle, onr task must be undertaken wisely and j without viudiciiveness. Our rais- j -ion is not punishment, but the tec j tificatiou ot wrongs. If, in lifting ourdens from the daily lite of our j people, we re luce inanimate, and i unequal advantages too long en j jojed this is but a necessary iuci j dent ot our return to right ai d jus j ciee. If we exact, from unwilling j minds acquiescence iu the theorv of an honest; distribution of the fund ! ot governmental beneficence ttea- j sored up for all, we but ius st upou , a principle which uuderlies cue j tree instil utions. i When we tear aside the d'Jushw.s j ;ind misconceptions which have ! blinded our countrymen to their condition under vicious tariff law?, we but show them how far they have been led aay Jtom the paths of contentment and prosperity. When we proclaim that the neces sity for revenue to support the gov ernment furnishes only a justifica tion for taxing people, w- announce a truth so plain that itsd -uial would seem to indicate the extent to which the judgment may be influenced by familiarity with the perversions of tile taxing power; and when we seek to reinstate seif-confiJence and the business enterprise of our citizeus by discrediting abject de pendence upon governmental favor, we strive to utitnulate thoe ele ments of American character which support the hope of American achievement. Auxitty for the re demption of the pledges which my party has madr, and solicitude for complete justification of the trust the people have reposed ou us con strain me to remind them with whom I am to co operate that we can snc- seed in doing the work which ha 1 been especially et before us on'y bvthe most sincere lnrraouioi9 and disiLte.ed efforts. Even if i )superab!e obstacles au1 oppos; j tion prevent tho eousumation ot our task, we shall baidiy he excused ; and it failure can be traced to our fault or neglect, we may be &ure tht? people will hold us to a swift und exacting accountability. The oath I now take to preserve, protect, and defeDd the Conatitutiooof the United States, not, only impressive ly defines the great responsibility I assume, but suggests obedience to constitutional commands as the rnle by which my official conduct must be gaided. I shall to the best of my ability, and withiu rny sphere of duty, preserve the Constitution by loyally protecting every grant of Federal power it contains, by de fending all its restrains when at tacked by impatience and restless ness, and by enforcing its limita tions and reservations in favor of the States and the people.
