The B. so. r. r. Co. have about
fifty sleeping cars chartered by clubs
from various sections of the country,
to be used as sleeping quarters, during
the Inauguration in Washington.
This is much more convenient, and
a great deal cheaper way than to put
up at boarding house or hotel.
AS the train containing the " Davis

several gentlemen were heard to cheer

time take sundry pulls from bottles
which looked suspiciously like they
contained " Kentucky Bourbon"

What Mr.. Manning is he owes to himself
his boyhood was 50 hard and short that ct
nine years Of age he was forced to earn Hy-
ing - Office boy in The Albany Argus, whers
he learned to set type, making his way int
William Cassidy, the editors, good graces.
BE was sterdy, brightfaced, active lad,
with direct, simple way of saying things,
that soon made him available as reporter
In time Cassidy made him city editor, and
on Cassidy's 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, ar
accomplished scholar and brilliant writer,
but he was one Of the most highly bred men
ever known in Albany society. From hi
honest Irish parents young Manning got the
rugged constitution and powerful frame that
have been to him more than fortune and o
college diploma. But from William Cassidy
he learned suave courtesy and easy dignity.
It has often been said that no man could as
sociate with Cassidy and not learn to behave
like gentleman. Mr.. Manning has been the
president Of bank, a 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-
tunities it threw in his way into the roads to
an honest and handsome fortune. He is an
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 j. Tilden, and as chairman Of the
democratic state committee he has national
reputation

William G. Whitney was born at Conway.
Mass, forty-fve years ago. He is the son Of
Gen. James s Whitney, of Boston.
and son-in-law of Henry B. Payne,
of Ohio. He graduated at Yale in
1883, and then at Harvard law
school Coming TO New York he took a desk
in the Office of Judge A. IT, Lawrence. Here
Whitney became familiar with the intricate
laws of Gotham, which it afterwards became
his duty as corporation counsel to enforce.
His admission to the New York bar took
place in 1854 His business for some time
was chiefly in connection with corpora,
tions, in which he obtained large practice.
Prior to his first appointment as corporation
counsel of the city of New York, which
took place in 1875, at the time when the
Tweed ring affairs were still dragging through
the courts, he held the office successfully
through the administration of several mayors
till 1882, when he resigned, as he said, for
personal reasons. 1t is not to be presumed
that because he proved the exception to An
drew Jackscns remark about officeholders-
that few die and none resign-that the office
was not an important one. The salary was
$4,000 per year. The suits in the courts in
which the city was concerned seldom involved
less than SIS, DOC, 600 to $20,OOO,OOO. Mr..
Whitney is tall and lean, with a free and
easy Juvenile manner. He is fond of good
dinners and good society

The sight of the marching troops, ascending
Capitol Hill from all directions was grand
one, and different strains of music from
many bands had an inspiring effect upon the
multitude. BY half-past 10 O'Clock the space
east OF the main entrance of the capitol was
literally packed with human beings Many
persons took positionss on the steps Of the
