colo, clear day, with the sun shining brightly
over this peculiarly anriquated town. ushered in
the ceremonies OF Inauguration. There was con.
siderable more enthusiasm exhibited to-day than
on former occasions OF the kind. Several reasons
operated to produce this difference. TWO years
ngo Governor Dix, With all the nush of a so, 900
majority vote, took hold OF the helm OF State. The
republican party had achieved an unprecedented
vlcJory In the State canvass, with John A. DIX as
their standard bearer. treme ndous majority
mad swept away his democratic opponent The
Sd OF last November brought change. Samuel J..
1ilden received even larger majority than his
competitor. The revolution was complete and
astonished the country To-day this contest was
1naliy ended by the induction of Mr.. Tiden into
the Executive Chair.

globe.

hotels were the OF preparation.
The streets were perambuated by uniformed
members of the National Guard. The military
display considered good one for Albany.

sion. MANY OF the officers OF these organizations
are democrats and deeper interest
sequently felt by these gentlemen in the display.
