ness of those laws governing our national
health whlcli wo can no more evade than
human Hfo can escape the laws of God and
nature.
NrrrMlty forii ( lucid Currency
Manifestly nothing Is more vital to our
supremacy iis a nation and the beneficent
imrixises of our government than a
sound and stable cur rency. Its
exposure to degradation should at
once arouse to activity the most enlight
ened statesmanship , find the danger of de
preciation In the purchasing power of wages
mid to toll should furnish the strongest In
centive to prompt conservative precaution.
In dealing with our present embarrassing
situation , as related to this subject , wo
will bo wlso If wo temper our confidence
nnd faith In our national strength
nnd resources with frank concession thAt
oven these will not permit us to defy with
impunity the Inexorable laws of llnanco and
trmlo. At the same time , In our efforts to
adjust the differences of opinion , wo should
bo free from intolerance or passion , and our
Judgments should bo unmoved by alluring
phrases and imvoxed by solllsh interests.
I am confident that such approach to the
the subject will result In prudent and effect
ive remedial legislation. In the mean
time. so far as the executive branch
of the government can Intervene
with any of the powers with which it w
vested , they will not bo withheld when their
exercise Is deemed necessary to maintain
our national credit or avert financial dis
aster.
Closely related to the exaggerated con-
fldenco in our country's greatness which
tends to the disregard of rules of national
safety , another danger confronts us , not less
serious. I refer to the prevalence of the pop
ular disposition to expect from the operation
of government especial and direct individual
advantages.
rnirrimlUm'R Unwholesoino 1'rogoiiy.
The verdict of our voters , which con
demned the injury of maintaining protection
for protection's sake , enjoins upon the pee
ple's servants the duty of exposing and de
stroying the brood of kindred evils , which
are the unwholesome progeny of paternal
ism. Tills is the bane of republican Institu
tions and n constant peril of a government
by the people. It degrades to the purposes
of wily craft the plan of rule which our
fathers established and bequeathed to us as
the object of our love and veneration. It
perverts the patriotic .sentiment of our
country and tempts the people to u
pitiful calculation of sordid gain to
bo derived from their government's
maintenance. It undermines the self-roll-
nnca of our people and substitutes in its
place dependence upon governmental favor
itism. It stifles the spirit of true America-
ism ; it stupefies every ennobling trait of
American citizenship. Lessons of paternalIsm -
Ism ought to bo unlearned and the better
lesson taught that while the people should
patriotically and cheerfully support
their government Its functions do not
include the support of the people. The ac
ceptance' bf 'this principle leads to the refusal
of bounties and subsidies , which burden the
labor and the thrift of a portion of our
citizens to aid Ill-advised or languishing en
terprises in which they have no concern. It
leads also to the challenge of wild , reckless
pension expenditure , which overleaps the
bouudsof grateful recognition of patriotic ser
vice and prostitutes to vicious uses the
people's prompt and generous Impulse to aid
these disabled in their country's defense.
Every thoughtful American must realize the
imiKH-tunco of checking at its beginning any
tendency , in public or private station , to re
gard frugality and economy as virtues which
wo may safely outgrow. Toleration of this
Idea results in a waste of the people's money
by their chosen servants and encourages
prodigality and extravagance in the homo
life of our countrymen.
Necessity .Should Limit Kzpcmlltures.
Under our scheme of gos'crnment the
waste of public money is a cnmo against the
citizen , and the contempt of our people for
economy and frugality in their personal af
fairs deplorably saps the strength and
sturdlness of our national char-
actor. It is a plain dictate of honesty and
good government that public expenditures
should bo limited by public necessity and that
this should bo 'measured by rules of strict
economy ; nnd it is equally clour that frugality
among the people is the best guaranty of
contented strong support of free institutions.
Civil Service Itulorni.
Ono mode of misappropriation of public
funds is avoided when appointments to
office. Instead of being rewards of partisan
activity , are awarded to tlioso whoso effi
ciency promises n fair return of work for
the compensation paid them. To secure
illness 'and ' competency of appointees to
office and remove from political action the
demoralizing madness for spoils , civil ser
vice reform has found n plaeo in our public
policy and laws. The benefits already
gained through this instrumentality and the
further usefulness it promises entitle it to
the hearty support and encouragement of all
who deslro to see our public sorvlco well
performed , or who hope for the elevation of
political 'suntiment and the purification of
political methods.
lilt nt the Trusts.
The existence of Immense aggregations of
kindred enterprises ana combinations of
business Interests , formed for the purpose
of limiting the production and fixing prices ,
Is inconsistent with the fair field which
ought to bo open to every Independent ac
tivity. Legitimate strife in business should
not bo superseded by enforced concessions to
the demands of combinations that have the
power to destroy ; nor should the people to
bo served loso'tho benefit of the cheapness
which usually results from wholesome com
petition. Thcso aggregations and com
binations frequently constitute con-
spiracles against the interests of the
people and in all their phases they
nro unnatural and ooposed to our American
sense of fairness. To any extent they can bo
reached and restrained by federal jiower
the general government should relieve our
citizens from their interference and exac
tions.
Loyalty to the principles upon which our
government rests positively demands that
that equality before the law which It guaran
tees every citizen should bo Justly and In good
faith conceded In all parts of the land. The
enjoyment of this right follows the badge of
citizenship wherever found , and , unimpaired
by race or color. It appeals for recognition to
American manliness and fairness.
Our relations with Indians located within
our borders Impose upon us responsibilities
wo cannot escape , Humanity and consist
ency requires us to treat them with fore-
bearanco , and In our dealings with them to
honestly anil considerately regard their
rights and interests. Every effort should bo
mudo to lead them through the
paths of civilization and education
to self-supporting and independent
citizenship. In the meantime , as the nation's
wards , they should bo promptly defended
against the cupidity of designing men and
shielded from every Influence or temptation
that retards their advancement.
IMedyed to Turin" lleform.
The people of the United States have decreed -
creed that on this day the control of their
government , in its legislative and executive
brunches , shall bo given to the political
party pledged In the most positive tonns to
the accomplishment of turiil reform. They
have thus determined In favor of u
inora just and equitable system of fed
eral taxation. The agents they have
chosen to carry out their purpose are
bound by their promises , not less than by
the command of their masters , to devote
themselves unremittingly to this service.
While there should ho no surrender of prin
ciple , our task must bo undertaken wisely ,
without vindiotlveness ; our mission not pun
ishment , hut rcctilicution of wrongs. If in
lifting burdens from the- daily life of our
people wo reduce the Inordinate- and unequal
advantages long enjoyed , this is but a neces
sary incident of our return to right nnd Jus
tice : if wo exact from unwilling minds
acquiescence In the theory of honest distri
bution of governmental bunuUccnco treas
ured up for all , wo but Insist upon the prin
ciple which underlies our free institutions-
When wo tear tisldo the delusions and mis
conceptions which have blinded our com ,
trymen to their condition under vicious
tariff laws , wu but show them iiow far they
have been led away from the paths of con-
tentuicut and prosperity. When we
proclaim .that necessity for rev-
cnuo to support the government furnishes
the only Justification for truing the people ,
vre nnnourco n truth so plain that its denial
vrould UHIIH to indicate Ino extent to which
judgment may bo Influenced by familiarity
vrlth [ Mirruntloiis of the taxing power.
And wlirn wom-ok to rulnatuto the self-con-
JMcat biulriMt cntervrUe of our citizens by
discrediting a subject dependent upon irov
eminent favor , wo strive to stimulate those
elements of American character which sup-
jtort the liopo of American achievement.
IMrn for lliirtnony.
Anxiety for the redemption of the pledges
which my party has made , nnd solicitude
for , the complete Justification of the
trust people have reposed in us , constrain
mo to remind these with whom I am to co
operate that wo can succeed In doing the
work which has been especially set before us
only by most sincere > , harmonious , disinter-
estcd effort. Even If Insuperable obstuclcs
ajid opixjsltlon prevent the consummation of
our task , wo shall hardly bo excused , and If
failure can bo traced to our fault or neglect
wo may bo sure people will hold us to a
swift , exacting accountability.
The oatli I now take to preserve , protect
nnd defend the constitution of the United
States not only Impressively defines the
great rcsixmslblllty I assume , but suggcsls
obedience to constitutional commands as the
rule by which my onicial conduct must
bo guided. I shall to the best
of my ability and within my sphere of duty
preserve the constitution by loyally protect
ing every grant of federal power it contains ,
by defending all Its restraints when attacked
by Impatience and restlessness , and by en
forcing Its limitations and reservations In
favor of the states and the people. Fully
Impressed with the gravity of the duties
that confront mo , mindful of my weakness , I
should bo appalled if it were my lot to bear
unaided the responsibilities which
await me. I am. however , saved from dis-
courugnmcnt when I remember I shave the
support , counsel nnd co-operation of wise ,
patriotic men , who will stand at my side in
cabinet places or represent the people in
their legislative halls. I find also much com
fort in remembering that my countrymen
are Just and generous , and In the assurance
that they will not condemn these who ,
by sincere devotion to their serv
ice , deserve their forbearance and
approval. Above , all I know there Is a
Supreme Being who rules ihe affairs of men ,
whoso goodness and mercy have always fol
lowed Iho American people , nnd I know Ho
will not turn from us now if wo humbly and
reverently seek his powerful aid.
Cleveland's Delivery ,
The chief feature about thn Inaugural was
the clear , steady and excellent enunciation
with which it was delivered and the absolute
absence of any gesture. Air. Cleveland gave
no other emphasis to hU remarks than that
derived from the emphatic tone and doler-
mlned nod of the head with which ho ut
times stated some of the moro forcible pass
ages of his oration. Ho spoke without notes
and turned from one part of the assembled
crowd to the other , sometimes addressing
the multitude in f rent of the stand , and again
turning to the side und addressing himself
moro particularly to the people on the stand.
In the confusion caused by the crowding ,
lack of observance of the arrangements
made , and the wind , It was impossible for
the persons within forty feet of Air. Cleveland -
land to follow his remarks from beginning
to end. The ixjoplo on the plaza immediately
in front could hear a part of the salient fea
tures , and whenever they signified by
cheers approval of special parts of it , the
demonstrations were taken up by persons
further removed who were unaware of ex
actly what had been said. Ills reference to
the currency question provoked considerable
cheers , but the loudest approval was given
the tariff section of his remarks.
The president begun the delivery of his
address about 1 : . ' ! 0 o'clock and it occupied
twenty-live minutes.
Oath'nf Olllce Administered.
At the conclusion of his remarks , Air.
Cleveland turned around to the chief Justice ,
who was attired In the robes of his olllce , to
take the oath prescribed by the constitution.
Chief Justice Fuller and the other persons
near the president removed their huts and ,
with bared heads , listened to th < ; taking of
the oath of office , which was pronounced by
Chief Jusilco Fuller in a clear voice , Air.
Cleveland assenting to It by bowing his head
nnd kissing the bible.
The oath taken by the president is what is
known as the constitutional oath , und reads
as follows :
I ( loHolmnuly swpiir that I will faithfully
execute the olltco of president of Iho United
Stutufi and will , to t ho bust of my ability , pre
serve , protect and defend thu constitution of
the United States.
The bible used in the ceremony was given
President Cleveland by his mother forty-
nine years ago. By ills special request it
was eight years ago put to the same service
for which it was useu today. This morning
shortly before U o'clock it was brought to
the capilol by Edwin Front of Michigan and
delivered lo Mr. James AIcKonnoy , clerk of
the United States supreme court , with a
message from Don AI. Dickinson stating that
It was Air. Cleveland's wish that the chief
justice use the book in today's ceremonies.
A new eiblo had been purchased for the oc-
cusion , as had been done eight years ago for
presentation to the president , but of course
it wiis not used after Air. Cleveland had sig-
nlllcd his preference for the use of his
mother's gift. The book used is a small ,
gilt edged , black , leather covered -volume
about 5x3 inches in dimensions , and in gen
eral appearance is in no way lo bo distin
guished from bibles frequently curried to
church by ladles. Its edges are worn with
handling und on the front cover Is stamped
in small gold letters : "S. G. Cleveland. "
Near the top of the fly leaf Is this inscrip
tion in a small , irregular , feminine hand :

On the next page to the fly leaf Is a writ
ten statement signed by Air. AlclCenney
slallng that upon this bible Grovcr Cleveland -
land was sworn Into ofllcc as president of
Iho United States by Morrison B. Walto ,
chief justice of the supreme court of the
United Stales on Alarch 4 , 1SS5.
After thu
The ceremony performed the line of pro
cession was quickly roformca , way was
mudo for the immediate members of the
presidential party to return to the capitol
building , and then the spectators on the
stand crowded pell mell after the party in
huslo to get out of the cold und warm their
benumbed extremities within buildings.
After the delivery of the Inaugural address -
dross President Cleveland and ex-Presid'-nt
Harrison returned to the chamber , repairIng -
Ing nt once to Air. Alorton's private room.
Hero an elaborate buffet lunch was ready
and was speedily enjoyed. These present
were President Cleveland , Vice President
Stevenson , ex-President Harrison , ox-Vlco

mander of the army , Admiral Hardy of the
navy , Representative Springer , Air. Uing-
hum , private secretary to Air. Alorton ; Air.
Stevenson , Jr. , private secretary of the vice
president and other scnalo ofllelals. After
lunch u few minutes were spent in chatting ,
and then Air. Cleveland nnd Air. Harrison
emerged from > ho room. As they buttoned
up their cloaks and started toward the
basement stairs Air. Harrison suid to Air.
Cleveland , laughingly , "Wo will go the white
house now and turn things over to you , " and
the two central figures of today's American
quadrennial exhibition tripped us lightly us
boys down the murblo stairway and gained
their carriages.
The troops , who had been stumping their
feet , endeavoring to keep warm , formed in
line , and at 2:10 : o'clock , after the usual rid
ing alxnit of orderlies , the line of procession
was started , General Alartln T. McMahon ,
grand marshal , leading the way , followed by
his staff.
Sainted thu 1'resldt-nt.
At the scnato room of the capitol , the mar
shal and tils aides halted until President tr
Cleveland and Mr. Harrison could enter car
nages und lake ihclr places In lino. The
first division consisting of uniformed troops ,
moved down the hill , around the capitol lo
iho Peace monument on Pennsylvania
avenue , where other organizations foil In
line and began the march up iho broad I
asphalt avenue toward the white houso.
The guns at Fort Meyer , at Washington i
barracks , und ut the navy yard which had 1
thundered out n presidential salute when
Mr. Harrison left the white house ,
again thundered n presidential salute when
President Cleveland took the oath of office.
Previous to iho appearance of the head of
the procession in front of the executive man
sion , Messrs , Herbert , Blssell and Morton ,
of the now cabinet gathered in Mr. Thurber's
room , nnd stent [ the time chatting and
smoking while awaiting the arrival of their
associates and chief.
Shortly before 3 o'clock Lieutenant Par
ker , naval utrto to president HarrUon , and
the clerical force which had boon at the cap-
ltd with the retiring executive , returned to
the white house , Executive Clerk Frank
Priulen bore the various bills which had
been considered by the president In the last
minutes of congress , all signed but two. Ono
of these was for the Incorporation of the
Washington , Burnt Mill * & Sandy Springs
Kallroad company : the other appropriated
> ,000 to pay the Culbertes Fcmalo college ,
McMlnnvillo. Tenn. , * 10,000 for the use of its
building during the war by the federal
forces us u hospital.
Colonel Parker nnd Mr. Tlbbett , who will
accompany Mr. Harrison to Indianapolis ,
then said good by to their associates and left
the house.
Lntnont Visits the White llonso.
Shortly after noon Colonel Lament drove
over to the white houio from the Arlington
with General Cook , the financial ollleor of
the executive mansion , and was welcomed In
the lower corridor by Mr. nnd Mrs , MeKce.
Ho brought with him his two plrls , Bess
and Julia , and baby Kuth , with tier nurse.
The little folks look possession of the room
lust vacated by President Harrison , and the
baby held quite a lovcc , being visited by all
the attaches who remained in the house.
Baby Kuth was dressed in white , with
shoulder knots of ribbon as blue as her eyes.
She wore a heart-shaped locket with a
monogram of diamonds and a tiny diamond
ring on her hand. Colonel Lament was
followed in a few minutes by Mr. Thurber ,
the now private secretary , and the two wore
soon engaged In a conference over the duties
of the office In the room recently occupied
by their respective successors nnd prede
cessor , Major Hal ford. All the old employes
thronged about the colonel to welcome him
back. Ho was very poimlar with them In
Mr. Cleveland's administration.
At S o'clock , noting under misinformation
ns to the proceeding of the procession , the
now cabinet officers and Private Secretary
Thurber , escorted by J. L. Berrot , chairman
of the general inauguration committee , pro
ceeded to the reviewing stand. In n short
time they were joined by ex-Senator Carlisle ,
who passed through the white house grounds
from the rear in company with Senator Gib
son of Maryland. But most of them found
their way into the house again before Presi
dent Cleveland reached there.
Mm. Cleveland Takes Possession.
Half nn hour Inter Airs. Lament with a
party of friends and Airs. Stevenson drove
iii | and were received in the room by Air. and
Airs. AIcKeo. They were followed almost
Immediately by Airs. Cleveland , who was
greeted In the back raom by the recent mis
tress of the while house which she then
turned over to her who Is , for four years , to
preside over Its destinies.
In a few minutes President Cleveland nnd
Air. Harrison , riding in the hitter's carriage ,
drove under the portico after passing the re
viewing stand. They were met on the upper
slep by Colonel Berrot and arm In arm
walked through the door. The double glass
doors in the partition separating the public
entrance from the main corridor of the
house were thrown open nnd President
Cleveland was face to face with his family.
It was u most dramatic incident and greatly
enjoyed by these fortunate enough to wit
ness It. Airs. Cleveland was becomingly
gowned in a dark-brown woolen garment ,
with velvet at the throat , and she were a
small black hat. President Cleveland was
followed by Vice President Stevenson , ex-
Vice President Alorton und the senate com-
mllleo on arrangcmcnls for the inauguration.
General Schofleld and Admiral GherardI
und the members of the democratic national
committee also Joined the party. In the
meantime Inspector General Breckinridgo ,
Don AI. Dickinson undKichard Watson Gilder
had entered the house where Airs. Cleveland
and her friends were.
Harrison's Lioavti Taking.
At ! 5 o'clock Air. Harrison and Airs.
AIcKeo bade the assembled party farewell
und took their carriage to go to ex-Post-
muster General Wauunmkcr's for lunch
and later to the station for their departure
for Indianapolis. As they walked through
the public vestibule ho was given u bund
clap by the newspaper men present nnd re
sponded by raising his hat.
Mr. Harrison was closely followed in his
leave taking by Air. Alorton , who drove
away with Senator Teller.
After spending a few minutes In the par
lor President Cleveland , on the arm of Chair
man Bcrret , accompanied by General Scho-
llold , proceeded to the rovlowlnir stand and
took his place there. Then the members of
his cabinet went out again and with them
some ol the ladles. The others remained
longer to partake of the luncheon spread In
the dining room.
This Iloqulrod Patriotism.
The 15,000 , more or less , that patiently
waited the approach of the presidential
party to the reviewing stand in the grounds
of the white house will probably never for
got thi > experience of toaay , Full play was
afforded the northwest wind in the open
space between the Treasury and the Army
and Navy buildings , and it tore around nnd
up and down the avenue , whistling through
the trees , picking up the snow and carrying
It into eyes , ears and nostrils , forming u
semicircle of white fluke , stripping the bunt
ing thut decorated the stands from its place
and causing the timbers to creak until moro
than a dozen occupants were inclined to
abandon their advantageous posts. Two of
the big branches of the stately elm that
towered with dignity to the right of the
space enclosed for the presidential party
broke off with a snap.
A hearty cheer greeted President Cleve
land's appearance on the reviewing stand
und the shouts redoubled us ho took his place
in the conspicuous projection of Iho structure ,
whore ho stood during the parade. Ho was
soon followed by Airs. Cleveland ,
Airs. Stevenson , Airs. Lament and
the other ladies who hud been
with the presidential party all day. They
came at a moment when the crowd was In
terested in the passage of troops and their
presence was unnoticed. As the president
appeared before the multitude and while the
cheers were yet sounding in his honor , an
aid of the grand marshal stationed opposite
the reviewing stand galloped ut full speed
down Pennsylvania nvenuo nnd gave the
signal for the march to bo resumed. The
bugle sounded forward inarch , the officers
repeating the command , and the line of
march was again taken up from the point
where the head of the column hud halted
opposite the Treasury department.
Coming- thu I'll rude.
The great crowds about the white house
were enthusiastic from the beginning nnd
kept time with feet and hands to the music
of the bands In an endeavor to keep warm
and got rid of surplus hilarity.
As General AlartlnT. McMahon , the grand
marshal of the parade , passed Mr. Cleveland
and saluted ho was greeted with cheer after
cheer , and the Now York Business Alen's as
sociation , which formed the president's escort
cert to and from the capitol , came in for its
share of the applause.
Air. Cleveland followed his own precedent
and saluted the national flag each time it
passed him. Ho also bowed to personal und
JMjlitical friends in the parade. Ho stood on
the stand in the fuco of the howling wind ,
Impassive und dignified , not seeming to mind
the cold and the waves of drifted snow that
was curried In his face. His overcoat was
buttoned tightly about his throat during tno
whole time the parade was passing. Mr.
Cleveland stood in one position und carefully
scanned the lines of marching men.
- jWhen darkness fell ujmn the scene Presi
dent Cleveland was almost the last one to
leave the stand , returned to the white house
and sat down to n family dinner. There
were present the president nnd his wife ,

Line ( if March.
WASIIIN-OTOX , Dt ? C. , March 4. At the
conclusion of thai inaugural address , the
tiring of n gun brought the commands of
the first grand division to attention , and
amid the booming of the presidential salute
of twenty-one guns from the butteries of the
Washington barracks , the Washington navy
yard and Fort Aleycr , Vn. , President
Cleveland and his escort moved
rapidly toward the white house ,
followed by the inaugural procession.
The reviewing stand , designated by nn im
mense Hag flying above it , was situated Im
mediately in front of the executive mansion
nnd on Iho south side of Pennsylvania ave
nue. A crowd of humanity , surging like a
sea , occupied every uvullublo spot of ground
In the vicinity , nnd us the president made
his appearance another cheer signaled his
presence and was taken up nnd re-echoed
down the avenues und byways like the roar
of a troubled ocean. With head erect and
standing firmly , with his impassive features
facing the procession , President Cleveland
reviewed the military , civic nnd political
organizations that mudo up the line of murch.

The parade of today was greater In num
bers nnd more imposing in military and civic
display than that of any previous inaugura
tion. General Alartin F. AIcAIahon of Now

ganization . of the procession the same admira
ble methods of assembling his forces which
mudo his management of the Columbian
parade \ In Now York city lust October so
successful. With military sagacity , ho rec
ognized the fact that It takes many hours to
murch 40,000 lo f > 0,000 men past a given
point , oven under the most favorable circum
stances of broad and 'roll ' paved streets , and
Instead of ordering all the organized bodies
to bo ready lo fall in at one und the same
time ho allowed sufficient intervals be
tween the hours of assembling to prevent , as
Jar us possible , fatiguing waits , and so ar
ranged the assembling places on con
tiguous side streets that the men
were able to form and drop into
line without delay and without crossing the
line of march. In all these mutters ho was
ably assisted by his adjutant general ,
Colonel H. C. Corbin , United States army.
For moro than half u day the city looked like
a vast military camp , the almost intermin
able marching past of the regulars , and the
well equipped military forces of the states
being broken in upon only by the visiting
governors * ! ! ! their civilian costumes , riding
past in the order that their states were ad

The parudo was composed of two grand
divisions , each grand division being In turn
subdivided into divisions and brigades. The
United States forces , which led the parade ,
were under the command of Brigadier General -
oral John 11. BroQeiund | presenlcd a sol
dierly appearance. All commissioned and

so. The imperturbable president relumed

The first popular outburst came when Gov
ernor Robert E. Pattison of Pennsylvania
passed in front of the reviewing stand , fol
lowed by his staff and the national guard of
the stuto of Pcnnsylvunia. The popular
democrat , twice governor of the Keystone
stuto and recently himself prominently dis
cussed us a presidential candidate , awoke all
the enthusiasm of the triumphant democ
racy and was frequently compelled to turn
and bow an acknowledgment to the ovations
ho received.
Following close behind him was one who
failed to awaken the popular enthusiasm of
his chief , but who was the object of almost
as much public attention. It was Alajor
General George H. Snowdon , commander of
the militia at Homestead und Iho officer who
gave his approval to the degradation of Pri
vate lams , who was suspended by the
thumbs , shorn of his hair and drummed out
of camp for applauding the shooting of
Frlck.
Cheered Loudly for I.cc.
Later n loud huzza from 10,000 southern
throats welcomed the appearance of a sol
dierly looking gentleman , whowith his staff ,
headed the third brigade. It was General
Fitzhugh Leo of Virginia , ox-governor of the
historic old commonwealth nnd nephew of
the Idol of the southern army , General
Robert E. Lee. The Stuart horse guards
and the Ashby light horse cavalry acted ns
General Leo's escort nnd the ex-governor
were the full uniform of the First Virginia
regiment of volunteer cavalry blue trousers ,
n coat of the tvudlttonal gray and a helmet
with a yellow plume.
Following the Virginians was Governor
Werls of Now Jersey , nccompanied by Ills
staff in full uniform , Governor William J.
Northen of Georgia came next , and the ro-
splendcnt uniform nnd soldierly bearing of
the Georgia huzzars of Savannah , which
acted as his escort , excited much admiration.
Kussnll Given an Ovation ,
In quick succession came Governor Alorrls
of Connecticut and his stuff and the youth
ful governor of Massachusetts , William E.
Russell. No ovation of the day exceeded
that accorded to the young democratic gov
ernor of the Bay state , who has become
doubly famous because of the uenerous toast
pronounced but forty-eight hours ago to Gov
ernor AIoKinloy ol Ohio. "A manly man In
misfortune , stronger than politics in friend
ship and stronger than political principles in
human sympathy , " were the words of com
mentary on iho unfortunaie governor of the
Buckeye stale , nnd iho cheers that greeted
the eloquent young governor of Alassachu-
sotts were not all from democratic throats.
Governor Frank Brown of Maryland , es
corted by his staff , received a generous wel
come from the thousands of Murylanders
that lined the thoroughfares.
The South Carolina1 contingent came next ,
headed by a man who1 'tins ' recently become
famous throughout thb'unlon as a defcndei

Tnmmuny has always been appreciated , and
the magnificent bearing of this organization ,
almost military in its hearing and thoroughly
military in its discipline und its methods ,
provoked the admiration oven of Its op

that the parade was over and pressed

Some Incident * ut the 1'arade.
A detailed and Itemized report of thogrc.it
p.irudo Is , of course , Impossible , when a
mere enumeration of the various regiments ,
companies , posts and civic organizations par
ticipating occupies three newspaper columns ,
But some of the notes and Incidents of
the parudo are hero set down at random.
Among the magiilllcentlyiinountcd special
aides who rode behind General Marshal Mc
Mahon und his chief of staff. General W. D.
Whlpple. were representatives from every
stnto and territory In the union. The guard
of honor of President Cleveland consisted of
UK ) members of the Now York Business
Men's Cleveland nnd Stevenson association ,
representing fifteen mercantile organizations
in the Empire City.
The passage of iho president along the
avenue was one continual ovation of Iho
most enthusiastic kind. The steady tramp
of the superbly drilled battalllons of regu
lars under the command of General Brooke
forming his escort ; the suggestive rumble of
the gun carriages , and the soldierly bearing
of the young cadets all helped to keep the
enthusiasm alive. On the extreme loft
marched , bronzed and rugged In feature , a
veteran who would have received a share of
the plaudits on his own account hud his his
tory been knowh. His name was John Mar
tin and ho was the only survivor of the Cus
ter massacre.
The line appearance and splendid disci
pline of the District militia Invited re
peated cheering. A feature distinctively
novel was Introduced into the parade by the
engineering corps. This was the releasing
of a number of carrier pigeons with mes
sages relating to the success of the inaugura
tion , destined for Philadelphia , Baltimore ,
Annapolis and other points.
Still none of the original features wore
disturbed. The military bicycle company ,
mounted upon their wheels , controlled
them and nt the same time handled their
side arms with a dexterity that indicated
that this new feature In warfare lacked noth
ing of success.
A profusion of steamers with the incrip-
tion , "Tho Banner State , 01.537 Democratic
Majority for President , . ' served to designate
the t Jefferson club of Louisiana. Before
the t column was borne a hundsomo banner
with a portrait of the patron saint of the or-
gnnlzatloy painted for the occasion.
In close proximity to the Loulsiuns was a
small but compact delegation representing
the Tuscurora society of Salt Lake City , the
Tammany of Utah , and the members of
which had undertaken u : J,000 mile journey to
participate In the inauguration of u demo
cratic president.
.Aliidu MlAillul Wlin | Her Kyti * .
There was a twinkle In the eyes of the
vice president and a suspicious moisture
about those of his wife when the Illinois
club of Bloomington , which formed the es
corting party of the vice president to the
capital , marched past the reviewing stand.
Possibly this might bo ascribed to the fact
that then-only son , Louis G. , hud the position
of honor on the right of the column , as a
mark of rccocnitiou of the First Voters
association. Ho Is president of this organi
zation and cast his first vote in November
for what proved to bo the victorious ticket.
llellrH From "My Miirylniul. "
A mounted battalion of exceeding good
looking young women led the Cleveland ami
Slevenson club of Montgomcr.v coiinly ,
Muryland. They were the sisters and daugh
ters of the members , and their dark riding
habits and low-crowned riding hats pre
sented a decidedly attractive appearance.
The spectators were not slow in recognizing
the novelty und the bodes from "My Mury
land" were cheered until their faces were of
a carmine tint. They organization of which
they formed the escort had HIO men in line ,
precisely the majority given by the county
to the national ticket.
There was but one civic delegation in line
that could claim the distinction of having
marched in nn Inauguration parade to the
glory of u republican president and under u
republican banner. This was the John J.
O'Brien association of New York. There
were twenty ranks of ten men to n runic.
Four years ago they marched as republicans
in the parade that attended the inauguration
of President Harrison. In the campaign of
which today's event was the culmination
the organization "flopped" individually and
us a whole and today they cheered as lustily
for Cleveland und Stevenson as they did in
lt > 89 for Harrison and Morton.
It was exactly 7 o'clock when the last
rank went by the white house nnd dfobandod
in front of the army department , so that
the parade had occupied about ten minutes
short of live hours in passing the reviewing
stand.

In the course of the afternoon Private Secretary -
rotary Thurber took the oath of office in the
room lately occupied by President Harrison ,
nnd formerly occupied by Private Secretary
Lamont. Mr. Thurber , in taking the oath ,
followed the example of Mr. Cleveland , nnd
used the bible given to him by his mother
when ho loft homo years ago , on the fly of
which she hud written after his name , the
Muster's injunction , "Search the scriptures ;
for In them ye think ye have eternal life. "
The two hours prior to the departure of
the president-elect for the capitol were busy
ones in the Cleveland apartments in the
Arlington hotel. A few prominent people
outside of their own party were admitted to
the apartments , the approach to which was

Meanwhile the distinguished party up

their carriages.
A few minutes later Mrs. Cleveland fol
lowed her htisbahd. loaning on the arm of
Chairman Norris. She , too , was the recipient
of applause. With Mrs. Cleveland wntti

The Inclemency of the weather today Is
likely to add to the popularity of the propo
sitions of Congressman Springer and others
to change the duto of the presidential In-
auguratlon lo n later pcritxt In the spring.
I he Iroquois club of Chicago , which was
only one of the ninny crack politicians which
shivered for hours In the icy winds today ,
held a mcellng this afternoon nnd unani
mously adopted resolutions tending to that
end. s
U Is announced tonight that It Is the In
tention of thu Iroquois club to communicate
with all the other political organizations of
the country of both parties and endeavor to
secure unity of action In the demand for this
reform.
Floral offerings from the admiring friends
of statesmen were not wanting today ,
although they were not displayed us usual
on the desks of the senators. The marble
room for once was converted into a
veritable hot houso. The collections of cut
flowers were tributes from friends to Sen
ator Edward Murphy , Senator Martin of
Kansas , Senator Turiilo and Senator Voor-
bees. Mr. Martin , the fusion democratle
senator-elect from Kansas , was remembered
by a laiyp wreath of white roses and
hyacinths. In the center of which appeared
a solitary star of red roses.
The last organi/atlon in the first nnd second
end divisions In the parade passed the re
viewing stand at u quarter passed 5 o'clock ,
exactly two hours from the time the head of
the division went by. JustutthH tlmeulargo
number of Pennsylvania militiamen , who
had withdrawn from the parade and been
allowed to break ranks , came down Pennsyl
vania avenue toward the reviewing stand ,
and , pushing through the lines of policemen ,
gathered near President Cleveland and
crowded the street in such u manner as to
prevent the free passage of the leading or-
guuizutlona of the second grand division.
Fortunately the police succeeded in clearing
the line of march nnd in so doing arrested a
soldier for alleged disorderly conduct. When
the comrades of the arrested man saw him
in the custody of the officers they made u
rush as if to attempt a rescue.
The determined action of a number of pu-
liccmi'ii in keeping b-ick the crowd and iho
inlervenlmr lines of organizations Unit were
passing , prevented any serious consequences
and the prisoner was taken to the station.
