were crowded so that motion was difficult and tho
.nrong overfiowed down the broad steps and ex-
,on"cu even 10 the Common. The JOINT Conyen-
tioh Tor the Inauguration met in the hall of the
House OF Representatives which was packed full
OF people. The ladies' and members, galleries wer,
opened for ladies, but the public gallery was re.
served for invited guests. Over an hour was con.

could not get in gradually disappeared At 1890
o'clock the Supreme Judicial Court entered, fol-
lowed by General Butler dressed in an evening
s'lit and carrying gold-headed cane and wearing
his usual butt0n-hole bouquet He walked I'D .he
aisle and sat at the Speakers desk amid the ap.
plause of his friends. Distinguished guests fol-
lowed and soon the hall of the House was packed
to the last inch. The laics', members and public
galleries would hold no more, and the space on the
floor not filed by the Senators and representatives
IN joint convention crowded with distinguished
guests and the very few Of the misceaneo
public who were able to crowd ill.,
Among those present, besides the State

the Old Colony Railroad, and A. G. Woodwork,
candidate for Leutenant-GOvernor with Butler in
1879.
When all had passed in, President Crocker, of tho
Senate, administered the oath of Office, and at
1855 O'clock Governor Butler signed his name to
the oath. The instant he did so his friends ap.
plauded. both in the gallery and on the floor aud.
few seconds later, the first gun of the military sae
Lutte was fired on the Common. Secretary Perce
then made proclamation that General Butler had
been duly installed Governor. and warning all peo.
pie. and especially the State officers, to take due
notice thereof Renewed applause followed this
declaration. Immediately after, Oliver Ames was
inaugnrated as Lieutenant-Govenor
Governor Butler was then presented for
mally to the Legislature and read his address.
n readingit he adopted that STYLE which has be-
come 50 familiar in his public speeches. Frequent
touches of humor enlivened it, and the applause
w"s interspersed as pr0fusely ever in stump
speech. Oh-hand interpretations were made Speak
ing OF the abolition of The poll tax as qualltica:
such men Harvard students" HIS argument for
woman suffrage was Literally applauded. When
urging reforms in various departments. he
said that fortunately the military was
under control of the Commander-in-c hief, o
thrust Of grim humOr which caused much laughter.

much OF sensation as was expected, though IL waa
read IN a slow and solemn manner.

applause from the women III the galleries when he
asked Tor better chance for conyicts to reform,
aud they laughed when he said that when tho
bright children were all educated IL would be time
to establish a school for idIctic and feeble minded
youth. BY the time he had been reading an hour
and half the proceedings began evidently 10 grow
heavy, and the Laughter and applause were feeble.
