VAST CROWDS IN WASHINGTON.
WASHINGTON, March 4th.-Never
IN the history of the country has a
President been inaugurated in the
presence of so vast a multitude of
,1eople, nor with such universal pOpu-
Lar acclaim as was Grover Cleveland
to-day. All the anticipatiOns of the
most sanguine were beneath the re-
suit, both in the number of people
and the extent and elegance
of the procession. At least 100000
strangers were in the city.
STANDS WERE ERECTED
On all reservations, and balconies
constructed in front of every story of
most of the buildings, although all
were inadequate to supply the de-
mands of sight-seers. The occasion
was the first in quarter of a century
20 bring togethermen of all sections OF
the country, emphasizing the fact that
finally the war is over. The colored
brother was present in force, and cor
daily welcomed by his Caucasian
neighbor.
Pennsylvania avenue was profusely
decorated. Flags, cannOns, stream
ers, and tasteful devices in snowy
colors, concealed the rough wood
work, and building fronts blOssomed
out. The completed work is very
beautiful, and the stateliest of
American avenues was transformed
into moving mass of gay colors,
which fittingly testified to the hearth
ness of the city's welcome to the new
Administration. The hotels were
tastefully decorated, as were also the
Government offices.
THE PRESIDENTIAL PARTY.
Senators Sherman and Ransom, as
a committee from the Senate, called
5rpon the President-elect, and accom-
panied him in the Presidents car
riage to the White House, whittier
they had been preceded by Senator
Hawley and Vice President-elect
Hendricks. The President-elect was
EoudIy cheered through the streets.
Marshal McMichael met the party
at the White House and escorted
ak1em to the President. At
1880 the Marshal announced that
the procession was ready to start.
The Presidential party then entered
Sheir carriages and took their place
in the procession. The President and
Rresident-elect were greeted with the
yildest enthusiasm.
THE PROCESSION
EEscorting the President then began
its march down Pennsylvania av-
aenue. The scene battles description.
This broad thOroughfare was lined
with enthusiastic spectators. The
police regulations were perfect, and
che line of march was unbroken.
The United States Marine Corps, with
ITS magnificent band, followed the ar
FEIlery battalions. The Presidents |
carriage was preceded by General
SIocum, the Chief Marshal, and his
staff, and a ,troup of United States
cavalry. Surrounding the carriages
were a dozen mounted policemen.
'Ehe party received an ovation all
aSlong the line of march. Next came
che National Democratic Committee
.and the Inaugural Committee in car
Eriages, followed by the District mill
tia, headed by the Washington Light
Infantry. A number of colored mi
Hitia formed part of the first division,
sand presented a highly creditable ap-
Esearance. The local divisions of the
tGrand Army of the Republic closed
the escorting divisions.
AT THE CAPITOL.
The scene in the Senate Chamber
twas conspicuously gay. The Presi-
tsent's family party occupied the
Presidents gallery. A quorum of |
senators having arrived, the Sena- |
lborial business proceeded, with long
spauses intervening,I caused by wait !
