THE 1'IIIisiHF.N'TIAT. I'AltTV. It was precisely at (In- hour set, 10.30 '1 . o'clock, that tho Presidential party on- 1 tered their carriages and took tho positions assigned to them in lirte. ?Vto ! party entered Ihoir carriages as follows : In Piesident Arthur's carriage, l'resi- j dent Arthur with President-elect Clove- I land on his loft. Senator Sherman fac-! ing President Arthur and Senator Ran- ; som on his right facing tlie President- I elect. Tho second carriage contained I 1 the V;co-President-elect with Senator I i , Ilatrloy on his left. As tho carriages drove out of the 1 gates and entered the line the occupants ' were greeted with tho wildest cnthusi- 1 asm, men shouting, women screaming and waving their hankorchiefs, and nil seem- ! | ed carried away with tho cxcitomont of ' I the moment. The Vice-President-elect ? and President-elect canto in for tho prinpal share of enthusiasm, and both of 1 them raised their huts and bowed right j ^ and left to the crowd which lined both sides of tho carriage way. The first division of tho procession, escorting the President-elect, then began its inarch to ' the Capitol. t TMK I'ISKSt DENT'S KSCOUT. j The scenes on Pennsylvania avenue I almost battled description. A groat sen t of upturned faces hid the sidewalks. 1 Over it the stately buildimrs were wit. ( ered with cloths of gorgeous c dors, ar- t ranged in patriotic devices. A soft e spring-like breeze lazily stirred the in- i numorahle Hags and streamers. Special f aides in brilliant uniforms charged hith- o and thither, lending animation to the I scone. The police regulations were g perfect, ami tho broad avenue with its s hard, smooth surface was completely s cleared of everything that might ob- e struct the pageant. a The United States regular troops r came first, thus departing somewhat p from the order of the programme, with c the probable object of insuring a clear c marching space. Marching in division front, their ranks extended clear across e the avenue and presented a most impos- 1 ing appearance. The United Stales ma- 'I rinc corps, with its magnifflcent band augmented for the occasion, followed fl ll.<. firtillnntf 1.? I?11 s ? " .mvvuMiMiin.

Sourrounding tho carriages were a dozen mounted policemen. c The party received an ovation all along tho line of march. Men cheered, i women waved their hankerchiefs and t clapnod (heir hands, and the greatest enthusiasm wns evinced hy I lie great throng. l'resident-elect Cleveland kept his silk hat in htuul and bowed to the right ami left as the carriage rolled slowly along. The same reception was accorded to (he Vice-President-elect, whose carriage followed. Next came (he National Democratic Committee and the inaugural commit- 1 tee in carriages, followed hy (he district militia, headed hy the Washington Light Infantry. The marching of this organ- . ization, with i(s unusually hroad front. 1 was almost perfect, and it succeeded in 1 making the difficult wheel at'.he south- [ east corner of the treasury building ? without breaking, a feat which even (ho < United States regulars did not attempt. ' A number of colored military cotnpa- ) nies formed part of the first division, | and presented a highly creditable ap- i poarance. Local divisions of the Grand Army of the I'epublic closed the escort- * ing diviskiyy. .Their movements were j executed with the most- commonable < promptness. ~ "> TI1K SCF.NK AT TIIK CAPITOI,. lUsfore 9 o'clock fully .'VMK) people * had congregated on the broad plaza '.o 1 the east of the Capitol and on the twrrace to the we.?.t. The approaches to the building, both for carriages and pedestrians, were blocked with strangers go- r ing to and from the great structure. On ?1 (he streets north of (lie building, mili- 1 tary companies ami societies were form- t ing and preparing to march to the ventre f of the city. Hundreds of people, who a had passed the night in Haltimorc and * who had arrived on earlv morning trains, '' * 11 lined the thoroughfares. ( Iiy 10 o'clock the procession hegan to s form in th<> street-? and avenues cast of p the Capitol, and on all sides were to he heard the strains of martial music, j, The tattoo of the drum corps coming up n one side of the (Japitol mingled with tho d sound of the bugle and hrnss bands of ' troops advancing on the opposite side. The Tammany Society, of N'ew York* a was one of the first organizations on the v ground. As the Tammany sachem, at- * ' tired in aboriginal costume, entered the ? e pla/.a, he was accosted by "ugh," "ugh," ? and other characteristic expressions. 11 The civic and military organizations, v pr<-ceded bv a single drumnior-bov or a i , p band of ten pieces, as the case might be, t: followed and took the positions assign- b ml In tin-in.

In tho exercise of their power id the right of self government, they sei ive committod to one of thnir fellow- cl< tizens a supreme and sacred trust, aci 1(1 lio 1u>rc cot.aocratoH himself to Icj oir service, This impressive ceremo- thi f adds little to tho solemn son so of re- tri lonsibility with which I contemplate pr o duty 1 owe to nil the people of tho pu nd. Nothing can rcliovo me from tho ga ixiety least by an act of mine their [no interests 111:43* suffer, and nothing is needed to strengthen my resolution tf pugage ovcry faculty and effort in tin promotion of tlicir welfare. A mid the din of party strife the people's choice nns made, hut its attendnil circumstances have demonstrated mew the strength and .safety of a gov rnmeiu hy the people. In each snc:eed;ng year it more clearly appears hat our democratic principle needs 110 ipology, and that in its fearless and aithful application is to be found the mrest guaranty of good government. Jut the best results in the operation ol I government wherein every citizen lias . share largely depend upon u proper imitation of purely partisan zeal and llort and a correct, appreciation of the ime when the partisan should be merged II to the patriotism of the citizen. Tolay the executive branch of the governnent is transferred to new keeping ; nit this is still the government of all he "people, anil it should be none the ess an object of thoir affectionate soliciude. At this hour, the animosities ot Molitlcai slriftv bitterness of partial! defeat and the exuIiTuhtti (UL^parljan triunipli should be supplanted by n ungrudging acquiescence in the poplar will a sober, conscientious concern jr the general weal. Moreover, if from his hour we cheerfully and honestly bandon all sectional prejudice and disrust, and determine, with manly conlionce in one another, to work out haru?niously the achievements of our oi ,i.w?:.. _K.II 1 ....v...... ..Miini, nc >111111 llt'SCTVO to L-'iili/.c all the benefits which our happy irin of government can bestow. lioynlty to the Const it lit ton. On this auspicious occasion we may ell renew the pledge of our devotion ) thu Constitution, which, launched by io founders of the republic and consulted by their prayers and patriotic duotion, has for almost a century borne io hopes and the aspirations of a groat ooplc, through prosperity and peace id through the shock of foreign conicts and the perils of domestic strife id vicissitudes. By tho Father of his onntry our Constitution was comended for adoption iu "the result of :i )irit of amity and mutual concussion.*' i that same spirit it should be adminisred in order to promote the lasting elf:?rc of the country and to secure le full measure of its priceless lionets to us and to those who will succeed i the blessing of our national life, he large variety of diverse and comiting interests subject to Federal con* ol- persistently seeking the recognition their claims need us no fo?r that he greatest good to tho groatest hum?r" will fail to bo accomplished/if in e halls of national legislation that >iiit of amity and mutual concession tall prevail in which the Constitution id its birth. If this invoh-s the suruder or postponement of private inrestsaml the abandonment of local admlnges, compensation will be found in o assurance that thus the common inrest is subserved and the general welre advanced. In the discharge of my lieial duty I shall endeavor to be tided by a just and unstrained conruction of thw Constitution, a careful iservance of tho distinction between e powers granted to the Federal Ciovnment and those reserved to the ites or lo the people, and by incautious preciation of those functions which. the constitution and laws, have been pccially assigned to tlio executive anch of the government. Hut he 10 takes the oath to-dny to preserve, otect and defend the Constitution of o United States only assumes the sol* >11 obligation which every patriotic izen, on the farm, in lb# workshop, in o busy marts of trade, and everylero, should share with him. The institution which prescribes his oath, / countrymen, is yours ; the governjnt you have chosen him to administer p a time is yours; for tho suffrage lich executes the will of freemen is ur.s ; the laws and the entire scheme our civil rule, from tho town meeting the state capitals and the National pitol is yours. Your every voter as rely as your Chief Magistrate, under o same high sanction, though in a dif ont sphere, exercises a public trust. )r is this all. Kvery citizen of our* es to the couutry a vigilant watch and jse scrutiny of its public servants, d a fair and reasonable estimate of eir fidelity and usefulness. This is 0 people's will imposed upon the 10I0 frame-work of our civil policy? inicip.il, State and Federal,?and this the price of our liberty and the iniration of our faith in the republic. Kconnmy In tho Government. It is tho duty of those rving the people in public place to >nely limit public expenditures to the tual needs of the government oconoinilly administered, because this bounds o right of -tho government to exact buto from the earnings of labor or the operty of the citizen, and bocause blic extravagance begets extravance among tho peoplq. We should ver bo ashamed of tho simplicity an' \ . ' ^ v: ?/4 .* * < pruduntial economies which nrc host > suited to tlic operation of a Republican form of government and most compatible with the mission of the American . people. 'I hose who arc selected for a limited time to manage public affairs are I ftill of the people and may do much by their example to encourage, consistonly with the dignity of their official funci tions, thai plain way of life which i among their fellow-citizens aids integrity and promotes thrift and prosperit}'. Our Foreign Policy. 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 departure from the foreign policy commended by the history, the traditions and the prosperity of our republic. It is the policy of independence, favored by our position and defended by our known love of justice and by our power. It is the policy of peace, suitable to our interests. It is the policy of neutrality, rejecting any share in foreign broils and j ambitions upon other continents ancl repelling their intrusion iit?'nh?lU;_ policy of Monroe and of Washington and Jelfennon: ''Peace, commerce ai 'l honest friendship with all nations, entrusting alliances with nono." Finances. A diu; regard for the interests and prosperity of all the people demand that our finances shall bo established upon such a sound and sensible bards as shall secure the safety nnd confidence of business interests and make the wages of labor sure and steady, and that our system of revenue shall be so ad| justed as to relieve the people from unI necessary taxation, having a duo regard i to the interests of the capital invested i ami the workingmen employed in Anicr ican industries, and preventing tlio accumulation of the surplus in the treasury to tempt extravagance and wasts. Indian Policy and Polygamy. Care for the property of the nation, and for the necils of future settlers, require | tint the public domain should bo protected from purloining schemes and unlawful occupation. The conscience of the people demands that the Indiana within our boundaries shall bo fairly and honestly treated ns wards of tho government, and their education and civilization promoted with a view to their ultimate citizenship ; and that po*1. ~ rp iA - - 1 j 111 IIIU i urniuriL'S, UPKirUCllVC 01 the family relation and offensive to the moral sense of the civilizod world, shall be repressed. Foreign Pauper Labor. I Tho 1*W8 should be rigidly enforced ~ ; | which prohibit the lu.taixretjon or a servile claw to compete with Aiauu-... labor with no intention ofacqutrfng citi. zensliip, and bringing: with tlftiin and retaining habits and customs repugnant to our civilization. Civil Horvlce Ki'forut. The people demand refo:m in tho administration of the government and tho application of business principles to public affairs. As a means to this end, civil service reform should be in good faith enforced. Our citizens havo tho right to protection from the incompetency of public employees who hold their places solely as the reward of nartizan service and from the corrupting intiu once of tlioso who promise ami the vicious methods of those who expect such rewnrds. And those who worthily seek public employment have the right to insist that merit and competency shall bo recognized instead of party subserviency or tho surrender of honest political belief. lilfflitH of I ho XojfrooH. In the administration of a government pledge to do equal and exact justice to all men there should be no pretext for anxiety touching the protection of tho froedinen in their rights or their security ;.. it... . r : ? ?;i ? in mi* eiijujiinjni ui iiicir privileges unnor the Constitution and its amendments. All discussion as to their fitness for tho place accorded to them as American citizens is idle and unprofitable, except as it suggests tho necessity for their improvements. The fact that they are citizens entities them to nil the rights duo to that relation and charges them with all its duties, obligation and responsibilities. Theso topics, and tho constant and ever varying wants of an active and onterprising population may well receive the attention and tho patriotic endeavor of nil who make and exocute the Federal law. Our duties are practical and call for tho industrious application of an intelligent perception of the claims of the public, and, above alL a Arm dotermin ntion, by united notion, to secure to all the people of tho land tho full )ionettt? of the best form oi government ever vouchsafed to man. And let us not truHt to human cfltot alone, but, humbly acknowledging the power and goodn??s of Almighty God, who prosides ovor tho doHtiny of nation, and who has at all times beon revealed in our country's history, lot us invoke His aid and Hia blessing npon our labors.
