THE RECORD-UNION.
Crisp defended Minister Bayard, and
reviewed the history of the McKinley
and Wilson tariff bills, upholding the
latter and condemning: the former. He
did not think that the gentleman from
Massachusetts was serious in his propo
sition, but thought that he simply
wished to air his views on protection^,
Regarding the speech of Mr. Bayar.l, I
he had no doubt it was a clear and able
argument against the doctrine of pro
tection, and he acquitted him of any
charge of impropriety. If they (the
Republicans) wanted to impeach Mr.
Bayard, they must also impeach a ma
jority of the American people. (Demo
cratic applause.)
Cummings (Dem.) of New York said
he could not say whether the resolu
tion had been offered under false pre
tenses or not, but he congratulated him
self on knowing that it was based on
the newspaper report of a speech; that
it was brought before the House by the
tditor of a newspaper; was backed by
the editor of another newspaper
printed in Boston, and that it was
backed up a second time by the editor
of the LewiSton Journal. It therefore
seemed manifestly fitting that a news
paper writer on the Democratic side of
the House (meaning himself) ought to
have something to say on the subject.
He congratulated the correspondents in
the gallery that the press was at last
speaking for itself on the floor of the
Hcuse. (Laughter.) He had no partic- i
ular liking for the United States Em- i
bassador to England. He had not for- j
gotten that Mr. Bayard had not done i
what he should have done toward the I
release of Irish prisoners, citizens of the |
Fnited States, who were unjustly incar- I
cerated in English prisons. He had not I
forgotten thii Mr. Bayard was a v. ■■!- ;
come guest in the house of the F^n^iish
aristocracy, and was flat rarely in
vited to a Liberal banquet, but at the
Bame time he should be treated with
justice by even the Republican mem
bers of the House. What had been read
from Mr. Bayard's remarks resembled
very much what had been read from
Executive documents, and Mr. Bayard
had only been reiterating that which ]
the President of the United States had \
repeatedly declared in his messages and i
In his letters to Congress. If the United ;
States Embassadar at London ought to j
be impeached for expressing such sentl
ments. then the President of the United
States ought to be impeached. If the
resolution was not offered under false :
pretenses, why did not the gentleman i
from Massachusetts bring in a resolu- !
tion impeaching the President?
"Go to the fountain head, gentlemen,"
Mr. Cummings exclaimed. "You have
been taking it here for nearly eight
years from the President of the United
States, and not a whisper have we
heard of impeachment. But the in
stant that a United States Embassador
in a foreign country repeats the same
sentirm-nts. there is a hue and cry for !
impeachment. There is nothing in it. i
gentlemen, it is only opening the tariff
debate at the present session of Con- j
gress."
On motion of Mr. Cannon (Rep.) of
Illinois the words "by impeachment or
otherwise" were stricken out 01' the
resolution.
Mr. Crisp's motion to refer the reso- j
lution to the Committee on Judiciary j
was rejected—Ayes 80, noes -**>.
The question recurred to the follow
ing amendment to the resolution, pro
by Mr. Barrett, and it was
adopted:
And, whereas, in a public speech de
livered at Boston,Eng.. on the 'Jd day I
of August. 1895, the said Bayard is re- {
ported by the press of this country to
have said: "The President stands In
the midst of a strong, self-confident and [
often times violent people, men who de- '
to have their own way and who!
need to have that way frequently ob
structed. and I tell you plainly it takes
a real man to govern the people of the
United States."
Mr. Cannon's amendment to strike
out the words "by impeachment or
otherwise," was agreed to. and the
resolution, as thus amended, was adopt
ed without a division. A number of
Democrats were observed to vote aye,
and but few noes were heard.
The Speaker stated that by consent
the preamble to the resolution would be !
considered withdrawn.
At .'I:.;." o'clock the House adjourned '
until Thursday.
IN THE SENATE.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The Sen
ate was in session for nearly two hours
to-day, one-half of that time being oc
cupied by Mr. Cullom (Rep.) of Illinois
in a speech In advocacy of the cl»•:
assertion and. most strenuous mainte
nance of the Monroe doctrine. The
resolution on which h>- spoke was then
referred to the Committee on Foreign
Relations.
Petitions and resolutions were pre
sented and referred: For the settle
ment, by arbitration, of controversies
en railroad companies and their
employes; for protection for the Ameri
can wool growing interests; for the pre
vention of colored lynchings in the
South; for the suspension of the : • -
moval of Intruders from the Cherokee
country; for t;.<- abolition of tribal oc- I
cupatton of lands by Indians; and t< r
luppression of cruelties upon and
acres of Armenian subjects in
Turkey.
Mr. Cullom (Rep.) of Illinois proceed
i Ihe Senate on the Mon
roe doctrine. The Government, he
said, could not afford to permit any
uncertain or equivocal construction to
be put on so important a subject. The '.
Monroe doctrine Is,the motjto which i
should be engraved upon the portals of
the Department of State. Instead of re
maining as an edict of the executive,
II should bear the definite approval of J
Congress, and become a fixed and perm- !
anent ordinance, giving notice '
the world that the United States would
lew with favor the erection of any
more i colonies on this conti- I
nent or any extension of the Euf<
political system upon this hemisphere,
my European interposition in the
:;n'airs of the Spanish-American re
publics.
Cullom continued: "In my Judgment

Should put the Question beyond cavil:

GOES TO ST. LOUIS.
The Metropolis of Missouri Gets the Na
tional Republican Convention.
BATTLS DECIDED ON THE FOURTH
BALLOT.
Californians Make a Determined
Fight, and Come 'Witbin a Few
Votes of Securing tho Coveted
Prize for San Francisco—Chicago
and lMttsburg Make a Poor Show
in<r— San Francisco Polled Twenty
Votes, but Could Gain Xo More.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10.—The Re
publican National Convention will be
held at St. Louis, MO.,0n the 16th day of
next June. These were the two material
results of to-day's quadriennial meet
ing of the Republican Committee. Thus
ends a contest that has been spiritedly
conducted by the four cities of San
Francisco, Chicago, Pittsburg and St.
Louis. New York was a nominal candi
date for convention honors, but her
representatives did not reach the city
until late last night, too late to begin
an active propaganda for the metropo
lis of the East.
St. Louis' victory was due to a vari
ety of causes, the principal of which
was the untiring effort put forth by her
representatives, who arrived on Sun
day last, supplemented by sound judg
ment, good political finesse, and by the
further fact that the astounding gains
made by the Republicans of Missouri
a year ago appealed strongly to the
sympathies of the National Committee
with whom the selection lay. St. Louis
had been regarded as a strong competi
tor from the start, but experienced ob
servers of political affairs felt that her
principal rival would be Chicago,
which, curiously enough, was never se
riously in the race.
The California delegation made a
game, up-hill fight. That they suc
| ceeded in polling so large a vote at the
j start, and holding it practically in-
I tact until the final ballot, furnishes the
, strongest proof of the good work done
! by her committee in the face of obsta
cles with which none of the other cities
j had to contend. The distance was
against them; the time consumed in
making the trip was against them;
| the expenses of the trip were also a
| factor which militated against them,
land yet for three ballots they led all
! their competitors. Th< lr organization
' was perfect, their courage superb. The
balloting snowed that the partisans of
Ban Francisco were earnest in their in
tention to secure the convention, and
the result showed that they could not
li.- stampeded, notwithstanding their
j opponents' clever work.
Pittsburg. like Chicago, was consid
ered ;i formidable contestant, but after
two ballots the brave .showing she had
made at the beginning gradually dis
appeart <i..
The Californians bore their defeat
philosophically, but they were obvi
ously much chsigrined at their failure.
It iss to be said to their credit that the
delegation which represented San
Francisco on this occasion seenred a
larger number of votes for their city
than were ever secured at arty previous
meeting of the committee, and some of
the number are saying that four years
hence, when they again essay the task
of capturing the convention, they may
possibly be successful.
The first ballot was taken at 4 o'clock.
' It was informal, and designed to test
the sense of the committee. It resulted
as follows: San Francisco 20, Chicago
8, Pittsburg U, St. Louis 13, New York
1. Total 51.
On motion of Mr. Hobc-rt of New
Jersey, the city polling the smallest
vote on this ballot was dropped. This
eliminated New fork, and reduced the
contest to the four citi"S first named.
"n this ballot the member from the
District of Columbia voted for San
Franc
(in th'- first regular ballot both he and
the member from New York transf srred
their votes to St. Louis, with the result
that San Francisco dropped to I'-*:
Chicago and Pittsburg remained sta
tionary with 8 and 9 votes, resp< ctively,
while St. Louis went up to 15.
During the Intermission between the
first and second ballots, Mr. Kwr, the
Missouri member of the committee, and
some of the stanch adherents of the
Mound City, did some effective mis
sionary work, which was shown when
the second ballot was taken. On this
ballot San Francisco retained her It)
Chicago gained one from Pitts
burg.Ptttsburg lost 4, three of the num
i .-r going to St. Louis, increasing her
gtb to 18.
On the third ballot Pittsburgh forces
disintegrated so that the member from
that State was the only person voting
for the Smoky City. The four votes
lost by Pittsburg on this occasion went
to St. Louis, thus putting her in the
lead with 'Ii votes, San Francisco and
Lgo remaining stationary with 10
ami !' votes each to their credit.
It was li'iv. apparent thai St. Louis
forging steadily to the front. Pitts
; burg dropped out of the race. On the
last ballot San Francisco received l">
votes. Chicago 7 and St. Louis 2.». three
more than a majority.
The report that St. Louis had won
the convention spread through the
surging crowds in the hotels with the
a prairie fire, and within a
minute the spacious headquarti n of the
St. Louis delegation were crowded with
the members of other delegations, who

One of the Pittsburgers, with a
view to showing his friendly interest in
St. Louis, seized the large earthen pot
i containing a huge bunch of white and
yellow chrysanthemums, which were B

carried it into the Missouri beadquar

'appearance lent an added attraction to
surroundings. The St. Louis men

faction, which found expression in re

change of congratulations.
HATWABD EXECUTED.

MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 10.—Harry
Hay ward was executed at 2:10 o'clock
this morning. Before the drop fell he
made a rambling statement regarding
the forgiveness of everyone connected
with the case. He spoke smilingly and
without show of fear. He did not move
j a muscle after the drop.
midnight approached, the crowd
■ outside the jail had Increased to ."•;:<• in

. gathered. A special force of
■ kepi a passage open from the
gtreet to the Jalldoor. The working ap
gallows had been thor
ougrhl early, and behind closed
the trap i I rted. It proved
■tlv obedient to the lever, falling
■ i •-. Two hemp ropes,
with carefully prepared nooses, were
wound about the hanging-beam, the
extra one to be used ;n case of emer
gency. In the cellroom the lights
burned brilliantly. From early even
ing Hayward talked steadily to the ex
pert stenographer, completing his con
lession and last statement.
To the surprise o£ all, Adry Hayward
appeared at the jail at lU:3U o'clock,
and was ushered into the cellroom.
Two days since Harry, before his jailers
and common prisoners, cursed his
brother, hurling the most stinging in
vectives at him. Now he received him
with a kind word of greeting, and mo
tioned him to stand by as he talked. It
Was easy to perceive that Harry's ani
mesity was short-lived.
At 11:54 p. m. Hayward made a
statement to the members of the press.
He admits that his last statement re
garding the Ging murder is correct, and
contains every detail of the affair
: within his knowledge.
At 12:30 o'clock Hayward ate his last
i meal, consisting of all the delicacies of
I the season. He ate heartily, in com
pany with several deputies and the
County Physician and the six death
watch. Hayward made his peace with
the world, and said he forgave Adry
and all others with the exception of
three men, detective Mike Quinlan, At
torney Stevens and Mike Kierce.
At .1:20 o'clock Father Twohy aaoC
the Rev. Winkinson left Hayward's cell.
Hairy refused to the last to embrace
religion.
HAYWARD CONFESSES.
MINNEAPOLIS, Dec. 10.—Harry
j Hayward has confessed his crime.
Every shadow of doubt as to his guilt
in connection with the murder of Cath-
I erine Ging has been swept away by the
I voluntary word of the assassin.
During the night Hayward turned to
County Physician Burton, who con
stantly attends him, and admitted that
the gallows was about to receive one
of the guiltiest wretches of the nine
teenth Century. The story of the crime
be recited from beginning to end, con
fessing that he alone was the instigator
Of the murderous plot, and that Claus
Blixt was but his tool
The story he told was much as Blixt
told it on the sta,nd. "I fell down at the
last moment, though." he said, after his
fun confession had been made. "1 In
tended to kill Blixt, but did not. If I
had I should have been safe."
Hayward is making gigantic efforts
■to conceal his shattered nerves to-day.
! He arose this morning, although he had
8] >pt a wink, and, stretching him-
I self, said to the death watch: "D it!
I would like to be hung every day. I
feel like a fighting cock."
Father Timothy visited the con
i demned man in his coll, but Harry re
fused to embrace the comfort oi
by the church. He WJII die, as he has
lived, with no profession of religion.
The confession of Harry Hayward
explodes a theory that has for some
time held general belief. It was claimed
i by Claus Blixt and his attorney, as well
. as the Sheriff, that the whisky given
Illixt just previous to his ride with
Kitty Ging. was doped with nitro gly
cerine, a drug so powerful that it would
rob the janitor of all pity or emotion
or making of him a raging beast equal
i to the crime that Hayward had com
missioned him to perform. Hayward,
; although taking all the blame in his
confession, positively states without
1 reason for the denial of any accusa
tion, that r.o drug was used on Biixt;
'■■ that the janitor went on that death ride
; with clear brain and shot down the girl
j with full realization of the deed.

SPOKANE (Wash.), Dec. 10.—"I can
put you onto where there is from $30,
--000 to $40,900 in money that was stolen
from your company, cached away in
the mountains near Hope,"
Such was the startling information
imparted to F. W. Gilbert, Division
Superintendent of the Northern Pacific,
by a stranger who appeared at his office
on Saturday afternoon last. The
stranger bore the appearance of re-
Bpectability and seemed to l>e perfectly
sane. Mr. Gilbert invited him to sit
down and unfold the story of the hid
den wealth of which he claimed to hold
the key.
The man g^ave his name as James B.
Boyd, and said that he had gained the
confidence of W. B. Witherow, a pris
oner in the County Jail charged with
train robbery, who had revealed to
him the secret ot where he hau $30,000
or more in cash hidden away, which
he represented as being the proceeds
of two train robberies, one on the
Southern Pacific, near Sacramento,
Cal., and the other on the Northern
Pacific in Montana.
Boyd was told the secret upon the
inoini.se of aiding Witherow to escape.
The location of the hidden treasure w is
traced in a rough sketch of the locality
drawn by the prisoner, who described
the place as being near Hope, Maho.
Boyd, accompanied by Roadmaster
Quillam, went to the scene yesterday
and had no difficulty in locating the
spot from the description given by
Witherow. It was back in the forest.

snow lay on the ground and th>- soil
was frozen hard as a rock, making li
Impossible with the means at hand to

to guard the spot, while Boyd and
Quillam returned here this evening.
Boyd will endeavor to secure from
Witherow the exact spot of the cache,
, a crew with picks and shovels
will be taken to the place to make a
thorough search.
Witherow is known to be a member of
a crow of train robbers who have been
operating in the West for several
years. Faith is placed in his story.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.— The
United Su.es Government may inter
in the Bailroad Commission suit
now pending in the Circuit Court. Such
is the effect of the decision rendered
this morning by Judge McKenna
upon United States Attorney H. S.
Foote's application, made on behalf of
the Federal authorities at Washington
for leave to do so.
Judge McKenna began by briefly re
viewing the position assumed by United
States District Attorney H. S. Foote on
behalf of the Federal Government, and
the contentions made by the counsel for
the Railroad Commission In opposition.
He then went on to explain that the sec
ond and third grounds on which Mr.
Foote had asked that the Government
be allowed to intervene were those, in
his opinion, of chief moment. Mr.
Fcote had, in these portions of his ar
gument, held that the Government had
a right to come into the case because of
the fact that as the holder of a mort
gage for many millions on the Central
Pacific lines it had a direct and actual
interest in any proceedings tending to
affect the Southern Pacific system, of
which>the Central Pacific lines formed a
part.
'"The question then seems to be," said
Judge McKenna, "has the Government
an actual interest in any branch of the
proceeding in which it now seeks th<
right to intervene? It would seem, un
der the language of the Acts quoted
here yesterday, and referring to the re
lations between the Government and
the railroad, that the question almost
answers itself."
Then his honor went on and made it
((itain that he intended to decide in
favor of the right of intervention by
holding that the Thurman Act, in creat
ing a sinking fund out of the receipts of
the Central Pacific, had done so With
the express purpose of maintaining it
for the benefit of all the creditors of the
road, including itself. Naturally, there
fore, it would be impossible to deny the
. nment's actual and living interest
ii. any legal proceedings based on a
proposition to so cut down the com
] my's receipts that the creation of such
a sinking fund might be made impos
sible.
Then the Judge took occasion to refer
to the Btrictures Which had been passed
on the action of the Government repre
sentative in intervening, stating in
very positive terms that he thought the
action taken the best fdf everybody
concerned, all the circumstances being
considered. "Suppose." he suggested.
"that the United States Attorney had
preferred to iile an original complaint
in the premises. How might that not
have delayed the final settlement of the
question at issue? Tn point of fact,
what he has done rather tends to fa
cilitate what is sought to be accom
plished than otherwise."
The next thing referred to were the
objections raised by the Railroad Com
mission's attorneys to the bill of inter
vention as being defective because it
was not specifically set forth therein
that the Central Pacific carried grain,
and would, therefore, be injured in its
business by the proposed cutting of
rates. This objection his honor consid
ered well taken, but he thought nothing
would be gained by taking radical ac
tion against the bill because of this.
■•J might reject it altogether," he
said, "and give the United States At
torney time to file another, but this
would only cause unnecessary delay.
The simpler way, and that which
seems to me to be likely to cause the
least delay, will be to admit the bill,
and give the United States Attorney
permission and time to amend it.
"Such, then, will be the order."
Then United States Attorney Foote
paid that he would like two weeks'
time to amend his bill in intervention,
and after that would desire to have the
case go over until the first Monday in
January before the trial should be pro
ceeded with. To this no one made any
i bj( ction, and the order was made ac
cordingly.
On behalf of the Railroad Commis
sion Mr. Hayne then asked for a week's
time In which to file such additional af
fidavits as it might seem advisable for
his side to present. The request was
granted, a further order being made
that the railroad company's attorneys
should be furnished with copies of such
affidavits and have a week in which to
prepare others in answer.
This i nded the proceedings for the
time, and the court adjourned.
TOPICS OF THE TURF.
Results of Yesterday*)*' Hnces at the
Ingleside Track.
SAN* FRANCISCO, Dec. 10.—Fine
weather drew a good crowd to Ingleside
track to-day. The track is drying fast,
| but was still too heavy for any fast
| time. Kowalsky was the only winning
favorite, second and third choices and
outsiders capturing the other events.
In the second race the Judges placed
Elsie, a hundred to one choice, second
instead of imp. Endymion, one of the
second choices, who took the place
handily. After the caller had made his
announcement the error was discovered
and rectihVi!. Kmiymion place bets be
ing paid. The club made good to the
!■• oks all money that had been paid on
Elsie tickets. The racing public, not
used to such treatment, quickly saw the
g\ neiosity of the decision, and the new
j ickey club is sailing on the top wave of
success.

VANCOUVER (B. C), Dec. 10.—Aus
: iralian journals received per steamer
■ Wanimoo to-day detail the many
handsome victories won by the. Ameri
can champion cyclist, Arthur A. Zim
merman. One paper states:
"On November Kith, at the Sydney
cricket grounds. 30,000 enthusiastic
Australians surged and swayed and
waved their arms in wild excitement at
the phenomenal American wheelman.
Zimmerman won the final in the great
international cycle race. Martin, the
long-distance champion o-f America,
rode pluckily, and was loudly cheered,
but the applause grew tremendous
when Zimmerman appeared, slowly
pedaling toward the track from his
dressing-rooms, which were decorated
with the stars and stripes.
'The race of the day was the half
mile championship of Australia. Zim
merman was put against two Austra
lian flyers in the first heat, and won
easily in 1:21%. The winners of the
other three heats were Parsons, Ire
son and Lewis, all Australians, the
Italian. English and German rid. ra be
ing liadly beaten.
"In the final Zimmerman seemed in
BUpi rb condition, and looked to be
playing with his competitors. He won
easily by thirty yards, but gave the im
pression that he could have made the
gap much wider. Hut it was a pretty
race, and the .crowd made a rush for
ward to bear him in triumph on their
shoulders."
The great American rider is called
"Zimmy" all over Australia, and every
sport in the Antipodes is talking about
him. He is pestered with invitations to
banquets given in his honor, and is the
subject of many medical examinations.

Another Murder <>t a Family Reported
in Arizona.
DEMING (X. .\i.). Dec 10.—Another
murder of a family is reported from
the San Simon Valley, in Arizona, by
the renegade band of Apache Indians
from the San Carlos reservation, but
| details cannot be had. The father,
i mother and three children were slain
lon Thursday, following the killing of
Mr. Merrill and his daughter. The mur
dered family were Germans, who had
recently come to this section from the
East for the purpose of taking up a
i homestead. The killing is reported to
: have occurred near Fort Bowie, the
i military post recently abandoned by
i the United States troops. The Indians
were seen by some cowboys about the
time of the Merrill murders, and their
j number is estimated at thirty-five.
I Nothing can be learned of the move
ments of the soldiers and cowboy
posses. A detachment of the First
Cavalry from Fort Bayard is stationed
at Stein's Pass to prevent the escape of
the band of renegades into Old Mexico
over the old Geronimo trail.

Governor-elect Bradley followed with

"To saj that i sincerely thank Choaa

to the highest office of the St
Ing t.ut feeble expression to the grati

gratification that follows triumph,
comes the apprehension <>t Inability t>>
perform the autiea of this great office.
Long protracted and uninterrupted con
trol by anj party universally results In
injury to the State, and begets
gence, carelessness, and, not infre
quently, corruption. Under such
ditions, the succession .>t another party
arouses public expectation to such ■ de
gree that in most Instances, ho*
creditable, us administration

impressed with this expei tation, i

duties of chief magistrate ol our be
loved common* ofidentl] lean
ing upon tli.- patriotism of a apleudid
people for Buppo :. and humbly invok
ing the aid of that Higher Power which
directs the destiny <>i nations.
"The credit and honor of the State
and Nation are of Qrst Importance.
The recent popular verdict, which bas
declared In favor of both gold and sil
ver as money, but at the same time m>
maintenance <>i the best and hi
standard, bo thai every dollar shi
ol equal value, should be accepted
adhered to. And while public
bln.uld be protected, we Bhould none the
less favor a well regulated system of
protection t.. every branch ■■
ledustn ; such a system as will enoour
genius, nourish and Increase diver
sified industries, maintain and .■>.
a home market and
eat son of toil from in.- degradation of
competition with the pauper lal
the old World.
"Together with this should be fo.-<
--jtered that reciprocity which will insure
; ire. exchange of our product with oth< r
nations for commodities which cannot
be successfully grown o r manufactured
in this country. The- accomplishment
and maintenance of these economic
measures will develop our resources
advance out- mat.rial pros]
give to Kentucky the position She is en
titled to occupy in the sisterhood of
States.
"In the management of State affair*
honesty and fidelity are demanded of
every public officer, and any irregulari
ties that may have be* n or may be com
mitted should be punished, and the
honor of the State and people vindi
cated at all hazards. Public officers are
not the masters imi the servants of the
people, and whenever they fail to faith
fully and honestly discharge their du
ties, merit severest condemnation .!• -
charge from the service and such pun
ishment as the law provides.
"Public education, the purification of
the ballot, a just system of taxation
such as shall not fetter the materi
vancement of any section, shall
times be promoted by every energy of
which I am possessed.
"The people rightfully demand re
trenchment and reform, as well as the
strictest economy in every branch of
the public service, not inconsistent with
the general welfare; and I propose to do
everything in my power to see that
their demand is literally complied with
"Above all things, the Constitution
and laws within its spirit must be en
forced. Every citizen shall he pro
tected in life, liberty ami property, at
whatever cost. I solemnly appeal to
the people in every locality, and to the
officers of the State, for faithful, ener
getic and fearless enforcement of tin
law. Nothing can be more effective In
the suppression of crime than the cul
tivation and expression of a healthy
sentiment which will hold in jus:
cration every criminal, more espedafly
the murderer and assassin. Mob vio
lence (which has its home in the breapt
of cowards) should be prevented at nil
hazards, and, if committed, should bo
properly and severely punished. Such
action is in open declaration of want of
confidence in the courts, and. Insfc
promoting, does serious injury to the
welfare of the State. The commission
of crime to punish crime can find no
apologist in a Christian civilization.
"The people are source of all power.
From them I hold my commission, and
to them I am responsible. Bearing
this continually in mind I shall respect,
and, without fear or favor, faithfully
endeavor to carry out their will. I
shall do right as God enables me to see
the right; be just as He enables me to
determine what is just, and by the love
that I cherish for the State of my birth
do all that lies in me to advance her
prosperity, enforce her laws, protect her
citizens and maintain her honor, and
remembering always that I am not the
Governor of a party, but of all the peo
ple.
"Knowing that the wisdom of all can
be more safely relied on than the wis
dom of a portion, that next to the peo
ple the press is the greatest power. I
appeal to both press and people, irre
spective of party, now that the con
flict has passed and the angry waves ol
party strife have sunk to rest: now that
we are embarking for our voyage upon
a calm and beautiful sea, for their ad
vice and assistance in the advancement
of the State, whoso past is Illustrious,
whose present demonstrates so many
needed improvclments. and whose
future, if her sons but do their duty,
will surpass the most extravagant ex
pectation.
"Trusting that at the end of the next
four years a record will have been mads
of which every citizen of the common
wealth will be justly proud, and with
an earnest prayer that not Kentucky
alone, but every State of the Union,
will have made substantial advance
ment that the bonds of union and love
between them will have srrown stronger
and our magnificent republic will hava
advanced in material prosperity, power
and grandeur, I conclude by thanking
you for this generous demonstration."
