Lamar, Garland and German were
seated together, and during most of the
time were engaged in what seemed to be an
of the same row sat Bayard, looking pleas
anter than he ever before looked at the close
of session, and striving to assume an indif-
ferent air, as though he were not neryously
watching the passing OF the few moments
that would terminate a quarter of century
OF Republican supremacy and
BRING HIM FORWARD AS THE PREMIER
OF Democratic president. Adjoining Bay

placed for his temporary occupation, sat But

Payne on his left, prepared to assume tho

moment and looked around, as if
uncertain whether to advance He was
recognized by Mr.. Pendleton, who beckoned

senate to pass the bill, and was gratified by
having the request granted On the left of
the outer row sat Honest John Patterson"

the rattle of small talk which Patterson was
pouring into his right ear:

Evarts succeeds, and DR.. Loring, the aesthetic
commissioner OF agriculture. Lapham and
Lorng are beyond the average man in
stature and avoirdupojs, while Evarts is
below the average, and being sandwiched in
Mr. Evarts appeared at decided disad-
vantage. In mental weight and stature
however, the little man will perhaps out
weigh the two individuals who overlapped
him day. CullOm, Dawes and Henderson
formed another group, and appeared to be
enjoying the scenes that were rapidly trans
piring. Spooner of Wisconsin sat with Angus
Cameron, to whose seat he succeeds. and was
evidently receiving first lesson from the
man whose place he to day assumed Morrill,
occupied his regular seat, and, as is his habit,
looked grand, gloomy and peculiar; while
Don Cameron who sat in front of him,
entertained Maxey and Platt with Incl
dents of his recent trip to Florida
Meanwhile the galleries We're rapidly filling
with people in their holiday attire. Adlnis-

OF the coveted pasteboards would have an
opportunity to witness the ceremonies in the
senate chamber, every seat was occupied
before | o'clock except the spaces reserved
for the diplomatic corps and the relatives of
Mr.. Cleveland At IL o'clock a message was
read from the house announcing that the
sundry civil bill had been agreed upon
Conger wanted to know what had been done
about the public buildings paragraphs of the
bill, which Mr. Allison explained, and Con-
ger sat down apparently satisfied A few
minutes later announcement was made that
another appropriation bull had been agreed
upon, This was the last of the supply bills,
and the Legislative business was virtually
ended with the agreement OF the senate tc
the report OF the conferrees During the
pause in the proceedings Col Lamont ab-
peared in the reserved gallery, escorting the
FAMILY OF THE PRESIDENT ELECT,
Rev. William Cleveland, the presidents
brother, and wife and Two sons; Miss Cleve-
land and Mrs. Hoyt, sisters OF the president:
MIR. Hastings, nephew, and Miss Hastings and
the Misses Nellie and Annie YOenlan nleces of

Gen. Hancock entered by the north door on
the Republican side of the chamber. The
seats assigned these distinguished officers
were located near the door by which they
entered, and they were seated before the vast
audience noted their presence. But when
recognized the audience made up for the
applause with which the two great SOL
dlers We're welcomed Gen. Terry entered
soon after Sheridan and Hancock and seated
himself on Hancocks left. Thsse three
officers and Surgeon General Murray were
the only representatives OF the army present
in uniform, and the navy had solitary but

not ceased when the clerk of the house
again made his appearance, and stepping
down the main aisles until the front row OF
seats was reached he announced that the
house had passed without amendment the
senate bill to place Grant on the retired list

husky from much reading during the pas1

that the bill be read, which was done, and

the galleries, as we'll as those on the floor
Grave senators, even, forgetting the rules OF
the senate, joined in the general acclama-
