A Washington dispatch Gays: Cleve
iand'sconduct during the inauguration
IS still theme of conversation When
he entered the Senate chamber aud
stood in the doorway bowling his &C.
acknowledgement TO the storm of ap-
plause, he made his first appearance in
national affairs. 1t was a strik ing and
spectacular appearance on the start,
and not hundred people in that great
crowd of thousands had ever seen him
before, and il was the first time Mr..
Cleveland ever appeared in or saw the
Senate chamber. But he acted like ,
man who was perfectly at home, and
who was in the habit of going through
the ceremony of Inauguration every
morning before break fast, and was
rather bored t'y it. Upon the platform
his conduct was the same. He was as
cool, as calm, and seemingly as indif-
ferent, as though he was presiding at
ward meeting instead of acting as
the most conspicuous figure in the
world, and in ceremonial seldom
equalled in imposing display upder
the sun. There was not a tremble of
his stumpy fOrefinger AZ he raised it to
emphasize some point, and when he
kissed the book, amid the vast sound
arising from the united voices of iitt,
thousand roaring people, he nev+,
looked toward the people, but raised
his face indifferently, with an appt ar.
ance that said, Well, what is HE
next thing on the program Irut il
out, aud let's have done with thi,
4ummery."

This was TO secure the Comp anv

Notwithstanding the crowding OF

Secretary Teller could not get lie
whole job through, which was to give

One of the first acts of Secretary La

suspending action on the remaining
patents until further notice.
1tWas an outrageous job to rob the
people of these lands as a parting act
of Republican rule, if the lands are
really forfeited. If the corporation is
justly entitled to them there was nc
need for the indecent and suspicious
haste in the issue of the patents.
