Judged by the enthusiastic reports of
Washington newspapers , ttio inauguration of
Grover Cleveland nnd Adlal Stevenson next
Saturday , will bo the most Imposing affair
of the sort that has been witnessed In the
national capltol in recent years. Each Inaug
uration that has preceded It has been moro
elaborate than the ono next before nnd thcro
will bo no setback this year. The plans , so
far as they are perfected , show clearly that
the Inaugural parade will be moro elaborate
than has ever been seen on Pennsylvania
avenue before.
C The merely official part of the Inaugura
tion of the new government will not take
very long , nor Is the ceremony very impres
sive , but an immense crowd will bo present
nt the oapttol , nnd the disappointment of
those who cannot got in tlio building to wit
ness it will bo great. Cards will bo Issued
for admission to the capltol on Inauguration
day. The officers of the capltol arc usually
vigorous in the enforcement of the orders of
the sergcant-nt-urnis of the senate to ex
clude all but the holders of tickets , and
while they may bo roundly abused by many
free born citizens who have "walked all the
way to Washington to see Grover inaugu
rated , " or who have not had their hair cut
since his first election nnd think that they
should bo entitled to some consideration , or
who know their rights as oitUons and part
owners of the building , they will keep the
doors closed to all but the chosen few who
have sufficient pull with senators or mem
bers of the house to get tickets.
Huw ItU Ilimo.
The Fifty-second congress will be In ex
istence and in session until 12 o'clock on the
4th day of March , but constructively it will
bo the ! ld up to that hour. The congress will
live until 12 o'clock by the senate timepiece.
Shortly before 12 o'clock the president and
his cabinet and the president-elect nnd the
vice president and tlio vice president-elect
will reach the capltol , having been escorted
from the white house by the Inaugural pro
cession through a clamorous crowd.
The outgoing and the incoming presidents
and the cabinet will occupy tlio president's
room , and Mr. Morton and Mr. Stevenson
will occupy the vlco presidents room.
Shortly before noon they will all assemble in
the senate chain bor , members of the house
and senate and supreme court being present.
Probably about two minutes before
12 the retiring vice president will
administer'the oath of office to his successor ,
nnd then , with a very brief address will , at
the stroke of 12 declare the senate of the
Fifty-second congress adjourned without
day. Tlio now vlco president , an extra ses
sion of tlio senate having meanwhile been
called , will then call the senate of the Fifty-
third congress to order and administer tlio
oath to all the nowli elected senators. The
custom in to tnko the list of the new sena
tors in alphabetical order and swear in the
senators in blocks of four.
This being done , the new senate will , If
custom. Is followed , take a recess , and
the procession will move from tlio sen-
: lto chamber to the east front of the
capltol. The way will bo led by tlio
scrgcnnt-at-iirms and n squad of capitol po
lice. Then Will follow the president nnd the
president-elect , the vlco president and the
ex-vlco president , tlio chief justice , members
of the senate and of the house , and various
officials of the two houses and of tbosupremo
court nnd others who have tickets to the
stand.
Tnklng the Onth of Onico.
The oath of.oftlce will bo administered to
the president-elect by the chief justiee , and
the new president will deliver his inaugural
address. The length of time the ceremonies
will take will depend upon how much the
now president has to say to the assembled
nuiltltL-do and to the people on the subject
of democratic teachings and the importance
of the eoremony being performed and its
obligations upon the principal actor.
This'over Mr. Cleveland will be ready to
go back to the president's room nnd from
tliero to bo escorted to the white house ,
ivhilo the clamorous crowd cheers , cannons
boom , llags wave and there is a wild expres
sion of rejoicing. The senate will reconvene
after the formal ceremony of administering
tlio oath , atld will bo ready to at once con-
llrm the cabinet provided no wicked person
raises an objection to the prompt confirma
tion ,
Tlio ndminlstcratlon of the oatli by the
chief. Justice is really nil tliero is officially of
' ; the inauguration of the new president , but
the crowd and the procession , the address
nnd ail the nolso and rejoicing , nnd tlio ball
nt night make up the great demonstration of
the day. Officially the thing Is very simple.
Wllllinvoii HIIRO Crowd.
From all tlio evidences now at hand It Is
certain , says the Washington Star , that the
crowd that will como on for tba coming In
auguration will bo n tremendous ono. From
nil the sections of the country have poured
In applications for quarters , and by the 1st
of March the advance guards of the vast
army of visitors will begin to reach the city.
At the various railroad stations they will bo
mot by members of the committee on public
comfort and then turned over to the mes
sengers , who will bo hired for1 the purpose of
showing them to the quarters that have been
engaged for them. It will not bo until the
day before Inauguration that the great num
ber of organizations will reacli Iho city.
Tlio military and elvlo bodies will bring
men by the tens of thousands , and
according to their plans almost all of them
will try to get hero on the af tcnioon of tlio
ld. ! From north and south and from ns far
west us Utali special trains bringing big or *
ganizatlons will start out with tliu Idea of
all pouring into Washington at almost the
same time. Whether they will get tliero on
the appointed hour Is a matter that depends
on the railroad facilities and on fate.
By Saturday morning , nt any rate , all the
Organizations will bo in the city nnd then
the fun will beat Its highest. The chief
interest in the Inauguration , of course , centers -
tors about the parade. This will bo in two
general divisions , the military and the civic ,
and will bo under the command of a
chief marshal , General Martin T. McMahon
of Now York City. General MuMahon is an
old soldier , and has until recently been the
colonel of ono of the leading city regiments
In the Now York National guard. Ho is
now a prominent Gotham lawyer with a
largo practice. General McMahon 1ms ap
pointed , as the chief marshal of ttio civic
parade , Mr. William Dlckson of this city.
The right of line In the military parade has
t > cen tendered to the famous Seventh regi
ment of Now York , whllo the same position
of honor in tlio civic parade will bo held by
the Tammany society of New York.
I'or tliu I'arude.
Up to the time of his Inauguration Presi
dent-elect Cleveland will occupy quarters at
the Arlington. From thcro ho will bo es-
e.ourtod to tlio capitol by tlio first division
of the military parade , consisting of the
forces from the regular army and tlio
regiments from the state of Now
York. Whllo they nro making
th > lr way up the aVenue the remainder of
the parade will bo forming in the streets
loading out from the capitol. After the ox
crclscs attendant upon thotukingof theoatl
and the reading of the Inaugural address thn
line will bo formed and the parade wll
march down the avenue , up Fifteenth stree
nnd around Vast the \yhlte house , where I
will bo reviewed by the now president , am

nlong 1C street to Mount Yernon square
who TO the line will break. It is thought
however. Hint manv of the organizations wll
drop out of line by the time they have
readied the circle. General McMahon wll
review them from n stand on the nvcnuo
near the circle.
Inaugural Hall riant.
In addition to the parade thcro will bo lots
else of interest to the crowds who are hero
for the inauguration. First , of courso. comes
the Inaugural ball. This Is to bo held at the
I'onalon ofllco on Saturday evening and prom
l. cs to be the handsomest affair of the ser
fivou. Upwards of * 10.000 will bo

Tlio plans for the decoration of the ball
room are on n moro lavish ncnlo than ever

The Foreign Situation.
Nr.w YOIIK. Feb. 2i ) . Banker Henry Clews ,
In his weekly Wall street review , says con
cerning the late gold flurry :
'Tho ' disagreement between the doctors of
finance as to the proper treatment of the
monetary disease has attracted a' good deal
of attention nnd excited some acrimonious
criticism ; but the dlffercncei of opinion do
not appear to have aggravated the malady ,
which seems destined to run Its course and
cure Itself' , The doctors seem to have dis-
ngreod mainly because each side had Us spe
cial purpose to servo the purpose perhaps
being in each case allowable , but In neither
legitimately all-controlling. The reasons
ostensibly assigned by the secretary
of the treasury for declining to
sell bonds to augment his gold reserve
wcro not without force , but probably the un
expected but most real cause was the un
willingness of the administration to signalize
the close of its term by what migl\t \ bo con
strued as an indirect admission that the
finances had been allowed to drift into an
exposed | > osltioii. The bankers had a very
practical and a very Important
motive ; namely , to apply a form of
remedy that would most distinctly empha
size the necessity for an Immediate repeal of
the Sherman act , which has unquestionably
been largely Instrumental In compelling
the country to give gold in exchange
for at least $100,01X1,000 of securi
ties held by foreigners who wcro alarmed
at the dangers connected with our silver
policy. It is open to question , however ,
whether the banks , in seeking to get before
the country this emphatic protest against
continuing the government purchases of sil
ver , dui not invite very undesirable consequences
quences from other directions. For , assum
ing the bonds to bo sold on the homo market ,
the transaction would involve a reduction in
the rcseives of the banks equal to the
amount of bonds sold , no matter whether
they were paid for in gold or United States
notes ; while , so far as they were paid for in
the latter , the treasury would bo draining
the banks and yet falling to get gold for Its
bonds.
Nut Wlmt WIIH Wanted Ktuctly.
"These are hardly results that the banks
could desire , especially as their reserves are
now exceptionally low for this season of the
year. Moreover , such a transaction might
but too easily be construed in Kurope as in
dicating a much more serious condition of
our finances than i-eally exists , the natural
result of which construction would be to
stimulate the withdrawal of foreign bal
ances resting here and to frighten foreign
holders of our securities into realizing upon
them both of which would tend to increase
our exports of gold. It is true , the banks
might reason that , If the treasury were to
offer its bonds specifically to the banks , the
latter could take them on condition that the
gold received for the bonds were returned
to-tho purchasing banks on special deposit
and that the ixinds wcro returned to the
treasury as collateral for those deposits.
This would no doubt prevent theconti-action
of reserves referred to. and it would also be
a very neat way , for such banks us might be
fortunate enough to get the bonds , to vir
tually make iJ per cent upon reserves which
would otherwise lie idle. But this method
of turning a public misfortune into a banker's
advantage would not help to mollify the pop
ular prejudices that already so embarrass
the national banks , nor would it bo sura to
meet with public approval ; and this may
have been one of the < sceiq ; ' tnr. ) ! < fl reasons for
standing out against the 'issuing of bonds
urged upon him by the banks.
In the ( iovornment'8 I'avor.
"Although thO Tree gold" In the treasury
still remains very uncomfortably low , yet
the drift appears to bo toward a steady re
covery in the government holdings. The
customs receipts are liberal ; the treasury
January payments of interest have been
completed ; the foreign exchanges show an
easier tendency ; thcro is an abatement In
the demand for gold for export ; and , with
the more settled political feeling in Puris ,
the Bank of France may be expected to soon
relax Its extraordinary purchases of gold.
And , moreover , wo have now reached
the season when the gold balance
of the treasury almost invariably
begins to gain for a series of months.
Under these circumstances there is reason
to hope that the uneasiness caused by the
condition of the treasury will henceforward
abate and generally more hopeful condi
tions prevail. Should this turn not come so
quickly as might bo desired , it seems reason
able to assume that some further moderate
exchanges between the banks and the
treasury of gold for legal tender notes would
probably bo found to bo all that is required
to bridge over the Interval between the
present and the complete return of confi
dence.
Confidence In the Future.
"These disturbing influences are having
their natural effect upon securities , and es
pecially on stocks. Slnco the failure of both
the senate and the house to suspend the pur
chases of silver the effect onyall street has
been very manifest , and at London also less
Interest has been apparent in American
shares , the demand having centered upon
bonds made expressly payable in gold. It
seems out of the question to expect any
sound recovery of conlldeneo on the stock
market until it has become certain that the
government will cease its purchases of
silver at a comparatively early day.
Without that thcro can bo only
distrust ; nnd the moro uncertainty on that
point Increases , the moro distrust will grow.
Fortunately , there is no want of belief any
where In the disposition of Mr. Cleveland to
use all his influence with congress to bring
about the repeal of the Sherman law. The
only thing to bo apprehended is that the
president-elect may choose to defer that ac
tion until a good measure has been matureu
for promoting enlarged issues of bank notes.
It would seem possible to give satisfactory
assurances that legislation on bank currency
should follow as quickly as practicable after
the Sherman act had been repealed , in
which case It should bo possible to enact the
suspension of silver purchases at a special
session in the spring. "

Annual Iteport of Nmv Ynrk'H Superin
tendent ol Hanks.
Nnw YOUK , Feb. 20. The annual report of
Hon. Charles M. Preston , superintendent of
banks ot the state of New York , on discount
banks , which is to be submitted to the legls-
latureon Tuesday , devotes considerable space
to a discussion of the state bank tax question.
Mr. Preston says that the proposed repeal by
congress of the 10 per cent tax on state bank
circulation would find twenty-eight of the
fort.v-four states of the union not fully pre
pared and sixteen of these very imperfectly
equipped to avail themselves of the relief.
Continuing ho says :
"Possibly the adoption by congress of a
system -safety fund' similar to that for
merly operating in this state , the assurance
of redemption for the notes of insolvent
banks might bo made to rest upon a small
percentage of the aggregate capital of all
the national banks , so that as the capital of
national banks incrcuso from time to time ,
the safety fund will increase in like proper
tion.
tion."If
"If congress shall neglect the demand of
Undemocratic platform and refuse the repeal
of the 10 per cent tax on state bank note is
sues , it then becomes almost immediately
important to determine what shall succeed
the national bank note as now provided for ,
if bank notes are to bo n part of the circu
lating medium of the United States herc-
afterf"
Mr. Preston concludes ns follows : "Sup-
iwse congress should so amend the national
banking act as to leave the supervision and
examination of the national banks to their
respective states , and continue the bureau of
the comptroller of the currency simply for
the purpose of issuing circulating notes to
any bank upon its depositing with the comp
troller of the bonds of the United States , or
of any state in the union which lias not defaulted -
faulted in the pii.Vinent of its obligations
within ten years. Or.Uio bonds of any city of
any state of the United States ( whL-h shall
not have defaulted as aforesaid ) having ? . " > 0-

in the payment of jiny of its obligations , and
whose bonded indebtedness does not exceed
7 per cent of its assessed valuation , and pro
viding that notes nhould bo issued to the par
value of these boiius.awould our banking sys
tem for practical purposes be less secure , and
would it not bor more elastic and better

Walter Quliitlii Gresliain. who is to bo the
prcnilur of the Incoming administration , Is
ono of the best known or our public men , for
bis career has been a conspicuous ono In the
tinny , on the bench. In the cabinets of two
prcsiduntti. and on the bench again. Ho was
born In an old-fashioned farm house near
fcmcsvlllo , Itarrlson county , 1ml. , on the
17th of March , im Hols of KnglLih descent -
scent , although his family has been Aniorioan
for several Rcnorntlons. His father , Wil
liam Oresham , was shcrilT of the county
and was shot and killed while cn'Jeavor-
Int ? to arrest n well known desperado. The
future statesman was but' ) years old at the
time , the youngest but one of live children.
Ills boyhood was one of hardship and some
times of privation. Ho followed the plow bv
day and studied by niisjit. All lie learned
was obtained through hard work and self-
denial. His mother managed the farm and
kept the family together. She still lives on
the old place and every year her son pays h r
as long a visit as hU public duties will per
mit.
'Iho early ciluentlonofWalterwasobtalncd
under many dinicnltles. When 10 years of
ago ho had an opportunity to attend Corydon
seminary. He obtained a clerkship in the
county auditor's ofll--e , by means of which ho
was enabled to pay his board and tuition.
After three years spent at this school and at
IJloomington university young Gresham re
turned to Corydon to study law , paying his
expenses by working in the county clerk's
oflieo betimes. When ! ) yearspf ago ho was
admitted to the bar. At tlKToutbrcakof the
war ho was captain of the Spencer rifles , but
enlisted as a private. He served with
distinction lit Shiloh , Corinth and
Vlcksburg , and was wounded severely
before Atlanta. Hu was successively promoted
meted to the rank of major general , and on
being mustered out of the service in 1805 re
sumed his law practice at Now Albany. Ho
declined several olllces durinir General
Grunt's administration , but in ISO'.t became
United States district judge for Indiana.
President Arthur made him postmaster gen
eral to succeed Timothy O. Howe , deceased ,
and subsequently gave him the portfolio of
the treasury. Toward the end of his term
President Arthur appointed him a Judgpof
the United States circuit court. In that
capacity he became well known to the
citizens of Chicago , among whom he has re
sided for several years.
Judge Gresham has a wife , a son and a
daughter. The son is now engaged in the
practice of law , and his future is bright with
promise.
.loliu < ! . C'nrlMo.
John G. Carlisle , who is to become secre
tary of the treasury in President Cleve
land's second administration , is a native of
Kentucky , and was born on the 5th of Octo
ber , 1SC : . His early manhood was devoted
to teaching school , and ho employed his lei
sure hours in the study of law. He was ad
mitted to the bar in 1S.1S , and after having
served several terms in Iwth branches of the
legislature was chosen lieutenant gov
ernor of Kentucky in Ih71 , in which
capacity ho served four years. Ho
was elected to the Forty-llfth congress and
to the flvo succeeding congresses , and
in May , 1SUO , was chosen United States sen
ator to succeed the late Senator James S.
Beck. He was a presidential elector In 1872 ,
18T . 18SO and 1881 , and was a delegate to all
of the democratic national conventions dur
ing that period. Previous to his resignation
of the senatorshlp he was a member of the
committees on finance , territories , Indian
depredations , woman suffrage and relations
with Canada. He was regarded as one of
tne leaders on the democratic sldo in both
house and senate and his opinions on all
questions ot national concern were always
sought and carried great weight. His abili
ties'have been recognized by men of ah par-
tics. His wife Is one of the most beautiful
and accomplished women in Washington so
ciety , and his son , who has been chosen his
private secretary , is a young man of excep
tional ability.
Wilson S. Illxsrll.
Wilson S. Bisscll , who will become post
master general after the 4th of March , has
for many years been ono of the foremost
lawyers of Buffalo , N. Y. , and is n Jlfelong
democrat. Ho was born at New London , in
December , 18-17 , and is therefore a compara
tively yoiug man. Ho received his educa
tion at Yale , where ho was graduated with
honors in 18(5 ( ! ) , and at once began the study
of law in the ofllca of Laning , Cleveland &
Folsom at Buffalo , and afterwards became a
partner in the linn of which tlio
president-elect was a member. Ho
took but little part in politics , al
though always i consistent and earnest
democrat until Mr. Cleveland's nomination
for the ofllco of governor of Now York. In
that campaign he did efficient work for his
partner and friend , and during thoeampaigns
that have succeeded he was the same en
thusiastic supporter of "tho man of des
tiny. "
Socially Mr. Bissell is a genial and com
panionable man. Of uncommonly largo
stature , lie naturally attracts attention
wherever ho may be , and his intellectual
qualities soon convince persons meeting him
for the first time that ho is a big man other
than physically. Although a man of strong
convictions , resolute and determined , Mr.
Bisscll Is uniformly good natural.
Ho is fond of n good joke
and is usually the life of his own
particular circle at the club. Two years ago
lie was elected president , of the Buffalo club.
The friendship that has existed between Mr.
Cleveland and Mr. Bissull almost since the
hitter's return to Buffalo from college lias
been of the most cordial and confidential
character , Mr. Cleveland has always placed
great faith in Mr. Bissoll's Judgment. When
Mr. Cleveland was married Mr. Blssoll was
summoned to the white house to act as best
man. At his own wedding two or three
years ago Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland were the
first to congratulate him and his bride. Mr.
Bissoll's domestic lifo is very pleasant.
Dnnlol S. Lninont.
Daniels. Lament , the coining secretary of
war , was. during the first administration of
President Cleveland , exceedingly conspicu
ous In the public eye more so than any
other previous private secretary of nn ex
ecutive except Colonel John Hay. Hu was
born In Cortland county. Now York , in 1831.
His early life was spent as n clerk in his
father's country store. Ho early turned his
attention to politics , and found in that direc
tion a congenial pursuit. Through Ills own
efforts ho acquired nn academic education.
Before attaining ills majority ho was se
lected as a delegate to the state democratic
convention , and held his own witti many
politicians of ago and experience.
Even after that time ho figured
more or less prominently In such
assemblages. Ho was a deputy clerk in his
native county , and was chosen a member of
the assembly In 1870,1871 and 1875. Krom 1875
until 1883 ho was set-rotary of the demo
cratic state committee , and performed val
uable work for the party. This position
brought him into intlmato personal contact
with the leading politicians of the state ,
and his oxpericnco and ad vice wcro often of
great benefit. Ho was taken into the con
fidence of Samuel J. Tildcn during his cam
paign ( or the presidency , having previously
enjoyed the closest Intimacy with the sago
of Gramorcy whllo ho was governor of Now
York. Ho was appointed chief of staff to
GrovcnClovelnnd upon his election to the
governorship , whence ho derived his rank
and the title of colonel. When Cleveland
was inaugurated as president Colonel
Lament became his private secretary and
served in that capacity with ability and dis
cretion through the entire term. Ho had
been the managing editor of the Albany Argus -
gus for several years and his experience In
that capacity tended to fit him for his now
duties , which were discharged with rare
fidelity and discretion. At the conclusion of
President Cleveland's term of oftico
Colonel Lament went to Now York , where
ho became president of a street railway com
pany. Ho Is genial and approachable , but
always discreet and diplomatic , and his
counsel was frequently of great value to
President Cleveland.

ior department portfolio , is the youngest of
the galaxy that will sun-omul Mr. CleveJnnd

and is descended from cavalier an i Puritan
stock , his family having Ix-en among the
early settlers of New ICmrland. When he
was 1(1 ( yours of age Ills father removed to
Atlanta , where the son began the study of
law. After his admission to the bar ho de
voted Ills energies to the law with such suc
cess that he lias built up a largo and lucra
tive practice. Ho but recently took an act
ive part in polities , and was conspicuous In
the campaign which resulted in the election
of General Gordon to the governorship and
to the United States senate. Ho is an elo
quent and engaging public speaker and well
versed in political methods.
Besides being a lawyer , Mr. Smith has
had soma experience in the newspaper pro
fession. Buying the Atlanta Journal at a
time when its fortunes were not of the
brightest , ho adopted a policy which Mr.
Grady found so successful in building up the
Atlanta Constitution. Ho employed good
men , paid them good salaries , and encour
aged them in their work. Whenever a re
porter brought in an exclusive piece of news
or did the work assigned to him with unu
sual excellence he found awaiting him an
order for the best suit of clothes that the
city afforded. Once , when the city editor of
the Journal executed a commission with es
pecial credit , Mr. Smith presented him with
a horse and buggy.
