Shortly after noon on Wednesday
President Cleveland and Vice Presi-

at Washington. The ceremonies
were witnessed by the largest crowd
ever assembled in that city. Mr..

In true democratic style President
Cleveland reached Washington qui-
city on Tuesday morning, March Sd.
His going was kept profound
secret. The only persons. if any,
who were at the depot on his arrival
expecting him, were two or three
newspaper correspondents. The in
auguration ceremonies were most
imposing. 1t was Mr.. Cleveland's
wish that they should be more sim
pie; but he did not wish to be too
arbitrary in the matter.

THE PRESIDENTS CABINET.

1t is hard to call to mind any sub
ject which has occasioned so much
gossip and speculation as to the
personnel Of Cleveland's cabinet.
Innumerable states were constructed
by newspapers and newspaper cor
respondents. These states were
charged almost daily, az circumstan-
ces or surmises would indicate that
they were incorrect. This continued
until less than week ago when the
leading New York dailies settled
down to substantially the same re-
port as to the make up Of the cabi-
net. Circumstances have proved
that the latest prediction of these
journals was substantially correct.
A dispatch just received announces
the cabinet as follows:
Mr. Bayard secretary of state.
Mr.. Manning, secretary of the treasury.
Mr.. Larmar, secretary of the interior.
Mr. Garland attorney general.
Col. Villas, postmaster general.
Judge Endcott secretary of war.
Mr.. Whitney, secretary of the navy.
The Democrat is Of the opinion
that Mr.. Cleveland has chosen as
wisely as any of his would be advi-
sors could have chosen for him.
Perhaps no man could move fully
represent pure democracy and high
st craftsmanship than Hon. Thos. F.
Bayard, who has been chosen for
secretary of state. Mr.. Manning is
better known to Mr.. Cleveland him
self than to the country at large.
But to the country he is known rs a
very fine specimen of a self made
man, whose genius and wise leader
ship has been instrumental in bring
ing the grand old democratic party
out of the slough of despond, to a
glorious victory. His financial
views are eminently sound. Mr..
Lamar is one of the ablest men in
political life. He is an advanced
revenue reformer and a very sound
political economist generally. Mr..
Garland is lawyer of towering in
tellect and ability, and has had
training which peculiarly fits him
for the position. Of Col. VIM. F.
Villas, of our own Badger state, who
has been selected postmaster gener-
al, the most important position in a
political sense, of any in the cabinet,
we need utter no word of praise.
Comparatively young man, with
out holding official position, he has
earned for himself a national repu-
tation for craftsmanship and ability
of which the oldest member of con-
gress or the senate might well feel
proud. He is in the truest sense
a progressive democrat. Every true
citizen of Wisconsin, regardless Of
party, feels, as he ought to, just
pride in his selection. Judge Endi-
colt, although the prefix to his name
would not recommend him to the
war department, is a man of high
character and good judgment. Mr..
Whitney, is man of great ability
and will doubtless prove an efficient
secretary of the navy.
