Dear Nc: This has been a great day
in this city. The morning opened most
adspiciously. With a temperature as
warm and genial as Spring, and an at
mosphere as pure as an infants breath,
thssun rose in unelouded splendor. The
only drawback was the mud which the
recent thaw had occasioned; but in spite
of this the city was filed with citizens
andstrangers at an early hour, to wit
ness the ceremonies of Inauguration.
|. Beside the crowds usual on such occa-
sions, there was appointed for this day
convention of the soldiers of the War
Of 1912, and most of the survivors of
that patriotic band were in town. The
military companies of the State were
fully represented, companies being pres
ent from Cincinnati, Cleveland, Column
bus, Lancaster and many other places,
and in their fine uniforms made quite a
martial appearance. It is said that all
IN all, the Inauguration ceremonies of
to-day was the grandest pageant ever got
up in Ohio. Not being Judge of such
scenes, and having no peculiar taste in
that way 1--we did notfnd ourselves very
eztrayagantly transported by the speeta-
Gle, But that is matter of taste mere
ly, and the multitude seemed to be well
pleased.
The Inauguration took place in the
spacious rotunda beneath the magnif-
cent dome of the State Capital, which
was crowded to its utmost capacity. We
will not occupy space with a programme
of proceedings which would probably be
of no special interest to our readers.
The two Houses met in their respec-
tive Halls and proceeded with their
usual business until about half-past II
o clock, when they repaired to the ro-
tunda under charge of appropriate COM
mittees of arrangement. After the
playing of "Hail Columbia!' by the
military hands in attendance, and the
firing of national salute outside, the
Auditor and Secretary of State and the
Lieut. Governor elect, were sworn into
Office by Chief Justice Brinkerhoff OF
the Supreme Court. The Lieut.. Gov
ernor then introduced Mr. Dennison, jr.,
Governor elect, who was received with
applause, and proceeded to deliver his
inaugural address,

that we suspect the Democratic papers
will be down upon the Governor and his
address. We thought it too long for the
occasion. But all things went off III
