From the Louisville Courier-Journal-
That the dominant party proposes 70
make the Inauguration OF hlr- oafneiu
the most brilliant event, of the charac-
ter, known in the country's history is
no longer a question, and while, as
matter of course, it is mainly In tine
hands of the members of that party,
il Is NEVERTHELESS to be a great ma
tional event in which the people OF
All sections will unite to do honor, not
10 the president of one party, but to
the chief Executive Of the country.
A conspicuous feature of the inaugural
ceremonies and parade will be the
participation of quite a number of
military organizations from the south.
Thus will the blue and the gray inter-
mingle. and the pride of all the states
in the Union be heightened, and one
and all will feel that the capital is
indeed that Of the nation entire. To
further increase this era OF good feel
ing, the general committee proposes
to erect thlrty-eight grand arches on
Pennsylvania avenue, one for each
and every state in the Union. These
arches will, it is expected, indicate
in some way the distinctive features
Of the different states. There will
also be grand triumphal arches erected
at other points throughout the city,
notably at the White House and the
capitol. Basing their calculations
upon acceptances thus far received,
the committee calculate that the mill
tary organization in line will aggre-
gate to exceed twenty thousand men.
The question OF affording ample accom-
mediation to the great number OF people
who will be present has been most sat
isfactorily settled by the course Or
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company in agreeing to run fast
trains every half hour between WASH
ington and Baltimore. The regular
schedule time of the Baltimore and
Ohio, it having the only double track
between the two cities, is but an hour.
The Washington depot being just
across the street from the Capitol
grounds, and the Baltimore depot
within few moments walk of the
leading hotels, the chances are that
those who stop in the latter city, will
be able to reach the centre of attrac-
tion in Washington in fully as good
time as those who make their head
quarters at the capital. There win be
no increase in the rates at the Balti-
more hotels, and the railroad fare
from one city to the other will not
exceed sixty cents. At this nominal
figure, and with the exceedingly mode
rate rates at the best hotels in Balti-
more, the probabilities are that those
who make that city their stopping
place, will have no larger bills to pay
than if they remained in Washington.
The Baltimore and Ohio, with its
only direct line from Louisville to
Washington, and its schedule, which is
no less than seven hours faster than that
of any other road reaching Washing
ton, naturally anticipating very
largely increased business next month,
has made every preparation to handle
1t most effectively. The''Daisy Trainn
which leaves here in the afternoon and
reaches Washington next day at noon,
will be run in as many sections as are
requisite to meet the demands upon it.
The elegant new sleepers, built ex-
pressly for the Baltimore and Ohio, will
be attached to all trains, and every
possible care will be taken to insure the
comfort and convenience of all pat
rons. The company has just issued a
very handsome little circular giving
brief sketch of the different presidents
from Washington's time to the present,
aud also the official programme of the
committee in charge of the inaugural
ceremonies. This circular, which will
be found very.handy for reference, can
be had upon application to any of the
agents of the Baltimore and Ohio, or
will be promptly forwarded by return
mail to all who send their address to
G. X. Lord, G.. P. A., Baltimore, Nd.
