WASHINGTON, March 5.-3 q. MT Is
said that there we're hundred thousand
strangers in this city yesterday. Probably
that is not far from the truth. The streets
were full That adjective of one syllable
expresses it all. There was little room for
those who deaired to move along Penusyl-
vania avenue. Those who wanted to stand
still were in vast majority.
There is no doubt whatever that the in
auguIal ceremonies were a grand success,
everything had consPired to work toward
such an end. The weather was magnih
cent. 1t was genuine spring day, such as
the North gets only in the latter part OF
April.
Sweet Music.
The music of brass bands reyerberated
from every every quarter Of the city. The
procession was the grandest known in many
years. 1t Is no exaggeration to say that
the impression created by President Cleve,
land in mis- first appearance at the Capitol
in an official capacity was more taver>ole
than would have been anticipated by his
warmest friends. The most radical ot
Republicans on the grand stand did not
fail 10 note the fact that the mass of people
gathered in front of that structure were
favorably affected by the personal appear
ance of Grover Cleveland. He is not as
tall as Chester A. Arthur with whom he
walked to the front Of the platform, but he
is a larger man and weighs fully as much.
Instead Of General Arthur's air of dignity
and Of general Eesriness, Cleveland looks
ike one Of those meD who are IN
earnest, who never tire oat and never
shirk any responsibility His head is car
ried we'll back on bis shoulders, and does
not give the impression of the bulldog ele-
ment in personal features, which his wood
cuts have conveyed 10 many minds. bis
mustache is not dark, rs it is portrayed, but
is blonde and tinged with gray, which alters
the tout ensemble of kis countena2ce to a
very marked degree.
Not Yet AEaounced.
His style Of speaking is devoid Of ostenta-
ton and is more mangF than eloquent Mr..
Clevelands Cabinet has not yet been an
roppeeS, bpt there is attle doubt that it has
been published correctly in all the promi-
pert newspapers OF he country. Very few
men would have had the independence to
act As he has acted in the selection of hst
oI names not altogether satisfactory to the
more unressoniug element in his own party.
