entered as pupil of the university Of that

TREASURY.
What Mr.. Manning Is he owes to himself
His boyhood was 20 hard and short that at
nine years Of age he was forced 10 earn q liv-
ing as Office boy In The Albany Argus, where
he learned TO set type, making his way into
William Cassidy, the editors, good graces.
He was a sterdy brfght-faced, active lad,
with direct, simple way of saying things,
that soon made him available as q reporter.
In time Cassidy made him city editor, and
on Cassidys death years afterwards he step
ped into his place. Perhaps the rarest luck that
ever befel Daniel Manning was the liking
William Cassidy took to him The editor Of
The Argus was not only keen politician, an
accomplished scholar and . brilliant writer,
but he was one of the most highly bred men
ever known in Albany society. From his
honest Irish parents young Manning got the
rugged constitution and powerful frame that
have been to him more than fortune and
college diploma. But from William Cassidy
he learned suave courtesy and easy dignity.
1t has often been said that no man could a.
sociate with Cassidy and not learn to behave
like gentleman. Mr.. Manning has been the
resident Of bank, q leader in the enterprise
Of Albany and the greatest single power in
his community. He has great common sense
and business sagacity, qualities that have
made his paper power and turned the oppor.

adroit and imperturbable politician, who
uses candidates rather than others In
his game. He has never until now
held an office, though he has disposed Of
many. He has long been disciple Of
Samuel ]. Tilden, and as chairman Of the
democratic state committee he has q national
reputation

THE INAUGURAL PROCESSION.

To man on top of the Washington ny,nu-
ment the capital must have looked as II did
In the spring of 1855, when the victorious
armies and the multitude behind, with
them gathered here. Again the multitudes
poured in from every side Of the city. Great
squares Of moving musket barrels cleaned in
the sun, banners, flags and transparencies
rose above the compact masses OF marching
civilians Gorgeous bands formed resplendent
squares here and there, and so closely packed
were the shifting multitudes of specta tors fill
ing the spaces between the car tracks and the
buildings that the very ground seemed alive.
The sight of the marching troops, ascending
Capitol Hill from all directions was a grand
one, and different strains Of music from
many bands had an inspiring effect upon tbs
multitude BY halfpas 10 O'Clock the space
east Of the main entrance of the capitol was
literally packed with human beings Many
persons took POSITIONS on the steps Of the
house wing as early Is O'Clock in order to
have good view Of the proceedings Nearly
as far as the eye could reach from the capitol
in all directions the streets and avenues were
crowded with military organizations. Both
sides of Pennsylvania avenue from
Eighteenth street to the capitol were lined
with a surging mass of humanity. The stands
erected along the route were crowded and tue
greatest enthusiasm prevails.
