nunrbers i'll every direction, and every
where bands were playing. Owing TO the
great number Of military companies and
political clubs, II was impossible to collect
the vast sssemhlace about the east side Of
the Capitol until o'clock, and the Cover
nor and party were compelled TO wait in
the cold air until all were ready for the
inaugural ceremonies.
