DEVOID OF POMP
To Be the Character of HOadly's
inauguration.
The Primitive Simplicity of His FOrefatbers
is What Catches the Dem
ocratic Reform Gov
ernor.

COLCMEUs, December l0.-There is still
some sgitatiOn for display at the Inaugural
tion of Governor. elect Hoadly on Monday.
January Ii. Judge Hoadly, having re-
quested that there be no military demon
stration or ball, that ends it. The rising
sun" probably did not realize how many
he was sitting down on when he notified
Adiutant-General Smith that the Ohio
National Guard would not be called on for
parade, or the Governors Guard now so
ably commanded by Colonel Axline, for
the grand inaugural ball. None OF the
dazzling uniforms OF the Governors
staff or of the field officers OF the
different regiments will get an airing.
They have gilded gear for which prob
ably there will nov never be another occa-
sion. Some OF them had chance at Gar
fields funeral, but the only "free-for-all'
10 the military of Ohio is the Inauguration,
which comes every two years. When FOs-
ter was first inaugurated Bishops staff and
the Colonies, Majors, Adjutants, Captains,
Iieutenants and others had a big time. The
only chance the present officers have had TO
show Off the military of the State was at
the second Inauguration OF Foster, two
years ago, ana they expected to go out next
month in blaze OF glory, with Kettle drum
and life and all the display possible,
The Military Age Is Certainly Passed.
Judge Hoadly, in his letter declining
these honorS, said Governors Cleveland, OF
New York, PattisOn. OF Pennsylvania, and
o.her Democrats had begun without osten-
tation or display, and he preferred the old,
primitive way himself.5lt will, however,
be Democratic occasion. The Duckworth
and Jefferson Clubs, Of Cincinnati, are
coming as bodies, with uniform hats, canes
and toquets.
The jefferson Club OF this city will be
out in the same gay way. Clubs will be
present from Cleveland Toledo, Dayton
and other points, and the brass bands will
take the place OF martial music. There
will be large attendance, as the Legisls-
ture will then have been in session Just
one week, and those here interested IN the
organization OF that body will be
Held by the Senatorial Contest
during the first week, so thar from January
5th to January 18th there will be constant
strain Of lively events in the city.
As both branches OF the General Assem-.
bly, meet in joint convention on Tuesday,
January 18th, to vote for United States
Senator, the Democratic caucus or caucus
es to nominate the man for this position
will come off between January 7th and 18th.
The Legislature during the first week will
also be engaged in arranging for the inau-
gurstion, and it is understood that its Joint
committee of arrangements will carry out
the wishes of GovernOreleCt Hoadly to the
letter.
The Greatest disappointment of All
will re in not having the Inauguration
ball. Usually the City Hall has been
srandly decorated for these events. Here
the brave soldiers, with brilliant uniforms,
slittering swords and Distinguishing
marks Of rank met the fair ladies, who had
been for weeks and months studying the
art OF the toilet and dressmaker. Judge
Hoadiy, perhaps, did not think OF the many
hearts that would be broken, of the dresses
already ordered, and of the many fair ones
who had contemplated visit to their
cousins at the Capital on that gay and feS.
tive occasion. The ball is the thing that
will be missed. Ii is the handmade to the
military display. Elegant toilets and uni
forms under the glare of the electric light,
with the Joy of the dance and the comfort
of The wine supper.
Must All be Forgone.
The girls are left. The boys are bored.
They had, however, set their hearts on
| things of day and one day only. The re-
form Democratic administration that comes
in with Judge Hoadiy is not thing that
glitters and passes away, but something
| that comes TO stay, and De on dress parade
| for two years rather than one day.
