That tho dominant psrty proposes 10
make the Inauguration of Mr.. Garfield the
most brilliant event, Of the character. known
in the countrys history is no longer a
question, and while, as a matter of course.
it is mainly in the hands Of the members of
that party, it is, nevertheless, to be a great
national event in which the people of all
sections will unite to do honor, not to the
president Of one party, but to the chief
executive OF the country. A CONSPICUOUS
feature Of the inaugural ceremonies and ma.
rade will be tho participation of quite a
number of military organizations from the
south. Thus will the blue and the gray
intermingle, and the pride of sll the states
10 The union be heightened, and one and all
will feel that the capital is indeed that of the
nation entire. To further increase this ero
of good feeling, tho general committee nro-
poses to erect thirty-eight grand arches on
Pennsylvania avenue, one for each and every
state in the union. These arches will II Is
expected, indicate in some way the distinct
i've features Of the different states, There
will also be grand triumphal arches erected
at other points throughout the city, notably
at tho White house and the capitol. Basipg
their calculations upon acceptances thus "a, :
received, the committee calculate that the
military organization in line will aggrepate
to exceed twenty thousand men. The cues.
ton of atfordiBg ample accommodation to
the great number Of people who will be
present has been most satisfactorily settled
| by the course of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad company in agreeing to run fast
trains every half hour between Washington
and Baltimore. The regular schedule time
of the Baltimore and Ohio, it having the onlv
double track between the two cities, is but
one 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
chsuces are that those who stop in the latter
city will be able to reach tue centre of attrac-
ton in Washington in fully as good time as
those who make their headquarters at the
capital. There will be no increase in The
rates at the Baltimore hotels and the railroad
fare from one city to the other will not ex-
coed sixty cents. At this nominal figure
and with the exceedingly moderate rates
the best hotels in Baltimore, the probabili
ties 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 lis
schedule which is no less than seven hours
faster than that Of any other road reaching
Washington, naturally anticipating a very
largely increased business next month, has
made every preparation to handle It most
effective. The "Daisy Train" which leaves
here in the afternoon and reaches Washing
ton next day at noon will be run in as many
aecions as are requisite to meet the demands
upon It. The elegant new seepers, built
expressly 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 patrons. The company
has Just issued very handsome little cir.
cular giving q brief sketch of the different
presidents from Washiugton's time to the
present, and 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 ofthe 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., Bsli-
