Inauguration Of Governor Bishop

COLUMBUS, January 1.-THE insug.
uration of Richard N. Bishop, as Cover
nor, occurred to-day. The weather was
most uncomfortable, drizzllng rain and
fue snow falling most of the day, but
this did not deter the thousands OF sight
seers who came from many of the cities
OF the State, and they thronged the
streets from early morn. The display of
military organizations from many points
in the State was lsrge and fine. AT two
o'clock they were received by Governor
Young and Governor-elect Bishop. AT
ter the street parade the Governor ELECT
was escorted to the rotunds OF the State
House, where the inaugural programme
was carried out, and Mr.. Bishop sworn
into Office in the presence OF al immense
crowd. Thousands were unable to gain
admission to the building.
Governor Bishop then delivered his
inaugural address. 1t was quite briet
The address suggests that the real way
out OF the hard times must come from
economical living and judiclous legisla'
ton At home. Having secured these, the
people of the Stste could then hope that
their influence would be patent in the
higher councils OF the nation in securing
for the whole people that retrenchment
and reform which he thought must ante
date any permanently healthtul condition
of financial affairs. Special attention Is
called to the labor question, and
avoidance of distinctly class legislation
whereby few are specially benefited at
the expense of many. Through investiga-
tlol OF the condition OF public works snd
legislation for their future care were
recommended, and he thought there WAS
need of increased economy in the erec-
tion and management OF public penal
and benevolent institutions.
This evening reception TO Governor
Bishop was held in the Senate Chamber
under the auspices of the Young Mems
Democratic Club of this city, which was
numerously attended; after which an
inaugural ball, under the auspices OF the
Governors Guards, was held at City
Hall. The Dsll was very elegant affair
and was largely attended by the State
officers and distinguished people from all
&C tions OF Ohio.

Special Dispatch to Cincinnati Gazette.
CoLUMBGs, January l3.-The reaction
from the Senatorial contest WAS so great
that Ewi.g's remarkable conduct excited
but little attention on Friday, but when
the people had time TO rest there arose
breezo. That breeze soon grew 10 high
WIND, and that wimd became hurricane;
there were jeers, heers, osths, apologies,
threats and denunciations. Some SAY he
WAS ''psle Ms your shirt" when be began
TO speak, and so angry tnat his utterance
was ObstruCted. ] sat within II rod OF
him and did not notice that, though II
was evident he was embarrassed and ag-
ita.ed. His critics say he refused TO
shake hands with PendletOn; his friends,
that he did that courtesy, and very
pleasantly, loo. But his speech WAS a
perfect success in two respects: 1t con-
vlDced the most incredulous Democratic
members that they hal made good Sc
lection in lesving Ewing out, and 1t
cooked his goose with sll the conservs-
tive elements of Democracy. Add the
minor effects, and it was probably the
most effectusl stump speech ever deliver
cd in Ohio.
