or Democratic, might well gaze with
pride on the fruits oi her womb, nursed
on the breasts of freedom.
He must have been creature OF cold
est clay, who, whether politician or not,
failed to feel a glow OF enthusiasm
caught from the electric sympathy Of
thousands. There, while the martial
music recalled the oldCn glories OF Bun
ker Hill, and OF Saratoga and Of New
Orleans, the patriotic strains, dear to
every American heart. seemed to pleai
in sweetest harmony for iOrgetfulness OF
the fields where the States whose repre-
sentatives Were congregated in that his
tOric square once S,rOve against sach
other in deadly conflict.
At l:40 Senator Blaine came into the
vest 'oOr OF the Senate Chamber
Iu Company With Gen. Hancock.
This was the signal for tremendous ap.
plaGse in the galleries, which lasted for
fifteen minutes. The General had
quite reception in the centre aisle, sill
the Senators greeting him cordially and
shaking hands. The General looked as
handsome as it would be possible for man
to be. lie was in full dress uniform,
and his Joye-like statue lowered above
all around him, looking equal in SIZE 10
three ordinary men. His hair is grey,
his mOustsche white, his face white,
smooth and devoid OF wrinkles. He
wore white kid gloves. He evidently
enjoyed his hearty welcome, and wit
messed the ceremonies as calm as any
in attendance. He drew the attention
of all eyes, and was the centre OF at
traction, even more than Garfield him
self.
After the Presidents eloquent AL
dress was delivered and the ceremonies
concluded, the grand procession began
TO form. As the most brilliant parade
that was ever held here moved on from
the Capitol TO the White House. down
the historic Pennsylvania avenue, it
was greeted by the cheers of
Tens of Thousands of People
who blackeued the sidewalks and build
ings along the entire route.
1t would be vain for the most eompre-
hensiye Of mathematicians to compute
how many millions of yards OF bunting
were to-day flung TO the hreezes that
asitated the chief thOroughiare OF the
Capital. Flags OF this nation and Of all
nations, tri-cOlors, crosses, stars, stripes,
squares. crowns, crescents, roses and
thistles flew, fluttered, waved and gyra'
ted from all buildings, public and pri.
vate, hOmely and handsome; dingy and
pslatial, in the principal section OF
Washington.
Everything was ablaze with colors.
heartlstic taste of the American people
was never more conspicuously ydisplayed.
In no country outside OF France could
anything so tasteful, be cOntrived as
some Of the decorations that made gOr-
gesus the path of the pageant.
Tonight the scene is especially lively.
Dire confusion reigns. \ hundred bands
are going at once, and as many bodies
of uniformed men tramping along with
soldierly tread and lorlly bearing to their
several destinations. The streets are
brilliantly illuminated, and the scenic
DISPLAY is gorgeous. The crowds seem
to be far greater than they have been at
any time during the day. Hundreds OF
thousands OF people make up the vast
sea of humanity, and the sight is exhil-
Grating and exciting beyond measure.
