Tall Democratic Buncombe.

The Rochester Union gravely informs
its readers that the Democratic party is
about beginning the task of cleaning
out the Augean stable of Republican
profigacy and corruption" A great
many other Democratic newspapers are
giving utterance to this particular sort
of bald nonsense. They insist that the
party which has successfully governed
the country in war and in peace for a
quarter of century is to be regarded
as an Augean stable. They also insist
that the mission of the Cleveland Ad+ =
ministration will be to clean out the
stable
All this is buncOmbe pure and simple,
and stupid buncombe at that. Those
ttat indulge in it would do well to
glance back ten years. The Democrats
came into power in Congress in 1875,
promising that they would turn on the
lights" that they would "clean out the
! Augean stable of protligacy and cor
ruption'" What came of such promises :?
Why, several nve'tigating committees
were appointed with the express pur
pose of making things lively for the Re-
fsaubiicans. These committees went nos
| ing about the departments, earnestly
endeavoring to come upon an Augean
stable. They were clothed with all ne
cessary powers. They could send for
persons and papers, examine witnesses
and lay bare records to their hearts
content. Nevertheless. they had their
labor for their pains. They were cons
PEELED to report, in effect, that there was
no Augean stable; that they had turned
Oh the lights only to discover that Re
publican administration could not be
successfully attacked. The country has
not yet forgotten this chapter of political
history. 1t remembers it and laughs
cotemptuously when it hears Demo
cratic newspapers once more calling the
Republican party an Augean stable and
Dragging that "our party" is going to
clean it out.
Let The Union and its fellow organs
clear their minds of cant. Whatever its
sins of omission or commission, the fact
remains that on the whole the Republi>
can party has been good and faithful
servant of the people. History will bear
witness that it was the right arm of the
Nation during the great struggle for the
preservation of the Union from the das-
tardly assaults of Democratic traitors,
North and South. And history will
also bear witness that it was equally sue
cessful in conserving the prosperity of
the Nation which it has rescued from
dismemberment and dishOnOr. The Re-
publican party glories in its record. How
about Democracy's record? Does any
Democrat take any pleasure in contem-
plating the course of his party since 1860?
DyeG-in-the- wool Democrats will new
er forgive the Republican party its pa
triotic record in all that it recalls of
Democratic disloyalty and shame. They
merely succeed in directing attention to
that fact when they name their Oppo-
nent IAN Augean stable.'-New York
Tribune.

the oath, and the vast assemblage cheered
again and again
The president-elect stood facing the chief
Justice, with the crowd on his right Chief
clerk Mckinney, of the supreme court, stood
lust to the side of Cleveland, and held the
bible on which the oath was administered, the
president-elect also holding it with his right
hand. The bible used was small morocco COW
cred gild-edged volume, pretty well worn. 1t
is the bible which Cleveland's mother gave
him when he left home as young man, and
at his special request the committee
of arrangements had it in readiness
for the ceremony. The crowd pre-
served perfect quiet as the impressive cere-
mony of administering the oath was taking
place, but when it was concluded, and as
President Cleveland laid down the Bible after
reverently kissing it, and shook hands with
the chief justice, who was first to congratu-
late him, they cheered loudly and long.
Ex-President Arthur was the second man
to congratulate the president, and then fol-
lowed Chief Clerk Mckinney and Senator
Sherman. President Cleveland was then in
troduced to the remaining judges of the su-
preme court. to Lieut. Gen. Sheridan and
Gen Hancock
The other persons on the platform then
pressed forward, and many Of them shook his
hand. As he re-entered the capitol he was
again greeted with cheers.
He walked to the basement entrance where
he first came into the building and entered a
carriage to be driven in the procession to the
white house.

Shortly before II o'clock the president and
the president-elect and vice president-elect
entered the senate chamber and were escorted
TO seats reserved for them. Vice President
Hendricks was sworn in as vice president Of
the United States and president of the senate,
and proceeded to administer the oath of Office
10 the newly elected members of the senate,
thus by this simple process, completing the
reorganization of that body in a very brief
space of time, and the senate of the Forty
