The In augural ceremonies were unusually brilliant and the attendance almost un precedented. Following them the new governor held a reception in the ex ecutive chamber and this evening he and Mrs. Hughes received a cordial welcome from a very large number of people from Albany and elsewhere In the usual public reception at the ex ecutive mansion. The 130 th session of. the New York state legislature Will convene tomor row and practically all of the newly \ elected members of both houses at \^ended the inauguration today. ■The ceremonies nt the capitol occupied little more .than half an hour.

The inauguration was preceded by a parade tit various companies of the Third brigade. National Guards of New York. The retiring governor. Francis " W. Hlggins, in welcoming his success or, said: : : • • -, • ' "Upon the shoulders of the chief ex ecutive of this state must rest heavy burdens, Imposed by constitutions and systems. To execute the laws, to rec ommend wise feasures of legislation, to exercise power with judgment and discernment, to defend the liberties and enforce the rights of 8,000,000 people these are duties which try the mental, moral and physical strength to the utmost. "To this high office the people of the state, reposing well deserved con fidence in your Independence, patriot- Ism, ability and integrity, have called you. I welcome you and wish you god speed." Congratulates New Yorkers Governor Hughes, after a few words of compliment tr> the administration of Governor Higgins, addressed himself to his "fellow citizens, " saying in part: "We have reason to congratulate our selves that coincident with our pros perity there is emphatic assertion of popular rights and a keen resentment of public wrongs. There is not panacea In legislative or executive action for all the ills of society which Bprlng from the frivolities and defects of fu' man nature of its members. But this furnishes no excuse for complacent in activity and no reason for toleration of wrongs made possible by the defective or inadequate legislation or by admin istrative partiality or inefficiency. "Whether or not we have laws enough we certainly have enough of ill-con sidered legislation and the question not as to the quantity, but as to the qual ity of our present and our proposed enactments. "Slowly but surely the people have narrowed the opportunities for selfish aggression, and the demand for tills hrfur and of all hours is noi allegiance to phrases, but sympathy with every aspiration for the betterment of condi tions and a sincere and patient effort to understand every need and to assist In the light of experience and the means best adapted to meet it. "It Is the capacity for such close ex amination without heat or disqualify ing prejudice which distinguishes the constructive effort from vain endeavors to change human nature by changing the forms of government. Evil in Law "It must freely be recognized that many of the evils of which we complain have their sources In the lan itself. In privileges carelessly granted, in oppor tunities for private aggrandizement at the expense of the people recklessly cre ated, In failure to safeguard our public Interests by providing means for just regulation of these enterprises which depend on the us.- of public franchises. "Wherever the la w gives unjust ad vantage, wherever it falls by Buitable prohibits i or regulation to protect the Interests of tin- people, wherever the power derived from the state is turned against the state, there is no) only room but urgent necessity for the assi r tlon of the authority of the state to en force the common right. "If in administration we make the standard efficiency and non-partisan advantage, if in executing the laws we deal Impartially. If in making the laws there Is fair and Intelligent action with force to each exigency, we shall disarm reckless and selfish agitators and t;ike from the enemies nt our peace their vantage ground of attack. "It la my intention io employ my constitutional powers i i this end. I believe in the sincerity and good sense of the people. I believe th it they are Intent on having government which recognizes no favored Ini rests and which is not conducted In any par) for selfish ends. They will not bi should not be content wiih less."
