OF the Inauguration OF President Hayes,

The whole affair was abandoned. The
Democratic, feeling that the inaugura-

Two hundred and fifty thousand worse
than nothing, was an event which
should not be allowed to pass unnoticed,
Immediately took up the programme at
the point where the Republicans aban-

ganized an enthusiastic procession,
which paraded the streets, passing In

came band Of martial music, playing

upon which was erected seaffold upon
which hung effigies of Z. 3. Hayes, w. A.
Wheeler, Jos. H. Bradley and J. Madi-
son Wells. Following this came such
procession OF patriots as this town has
seldom witnessed. After parading
through the principal streets the wagon
was drawn up before the fire, and the |
bulldozers proceeded to consign the fig
ures to the flames, each one being ac-
companfed by short but spirited eu-
logy recounting the virtues OF the vic |
Tim, dwelling upon those later acts |
which will make their names never to |

and commanded Hayes to stand

banks Of Newfoundland and spent
whole season In fishing boat, rough

ming In the Sandusky marshes, and. no
doubt, during his term will have the
same experience among the ducks of
the Chesapeake. There is a very little
resemblance In the faces Of Grant and
Hayes; Grant has not been particular
about his fluid and diet, is harder and
heavier than Hayes, but they are both
medium-sized men OF certain wiry,
nervous set, and as Hayes grows older
and passes through the mental encoun-
ters not to be avoided in his Office, the
two Ohio boys may look yet more
like each other. There is a decided
flavor of Ohio in everything around
us now. Grant was not, strictly
speaking, an Ohio man, having form
ed his character on the Pacific Coast

much wilder than along the Miami.

credited with one vote OF the State for
