WASHINGTON, Nov 27-Old citizens predict
that the attendance upon the Inauguration of
Mr.. Cleveland as President will be the largest
in the history of Presidents The attendance,
too, will be largely from localities which have
not been well represented here on such occasions.
The South will turn out large per cent. Of
those who will come. 1t is expected that the
blue and the gray will intermingle and shake
hands over the bloody chasm 1t was
told to-day by Virgiuian that large COM
pany Of eX-confederates would be present from
that State. They will come, he said not in a
spirit of boasting, but to show their good will
and to help close up the gap that has widenej
the breach between the North and the South
There will be military companies, am informed,
from every State south of Mason and Dixon's
line. The South has maintained since the war a
skeleton Of It's military organizations, AMI it pro
poses TO disylay them and give the uniforms and
flags an ailng. There will be no sober demon
straton of relics of the rebellion. however 4
close watch is to be kept Of any unfortunate oc-
currence such as that would be. So the displays
in the inaugural procession will be very interest
ing and very imposing.
1t is intended this time that the residents Of
Washington shall show their southern hospital
ity. The hotels and lodging houses, while they
may accommodate good many thousands with
places to sleep, cannot afford anything like the
necessary room. This is to be provided for by
the citizens. who will throw their doors open
and invite their friends to enjoy themselves.
The prominent residents here are nearly all
Democrats, and were largely Southern sympa
thizers during the late 'unpleasantness, being
mostly Marylanders and Virginians. They are
hositable people, and as things have politically
come their way. they will do their best
1t will be difficult, under the circumstances to
overflow Washington. Besides the accommo-
dations here, Baltimore, forty miles to the east,
and Alexandria, Va, eight miles south are to be
utilized. Trains run to Baltimore within forty
FIVE minutes, and they leave every hour, day
andnight. They will run oftener during the iu-
augural excitement Baltimore has almost un-
limited accommodations, and it will be but a
pleasant recreation to go over there at night,
sleep, breakfast and return here in the morning.
Boats and trains run to Alexandria. which has
10000 population, every fifteen minutes 1t is
the place George and Martha Washington used
to frequent when they lived seven miles further
south. at Mount Vernon. 1t is the quaintest old
city in the Old Dominion. The church that
George and Martha used to attend is there, and
there are thousand curious points to visit To
spend the nights there and the days here is buta
pleasant alternative.
good deal of wrangling has been going on
here during the week over who shall control the
Inauguration ceremonies and the displays,
the national committee or the District of Colum-
bia committee Barnum comes in says he will
look after the arrangements with committee
that may act with the District of Columbia
Democrats whereat tho latter are mad But it
won't disturb the inauguration,
