who were fortunate enough to possess
the necessary tickets OF admission were
packed almost as solidly as they were In
the street below. Governor Beaver, Of
Pennsylvania, was one OF the late arriv-

block between New street and Broad'
way, the red stable warrior had consid.
erable difficulty In reaching his horse.
There was q great crush around the
sub.treasury steps before the arrival oil

AT TIE sun TREASURY,

The crowd at the sub!Treasury deled
computation, and the cheers which
greeted the President upon his appear
ance upon the platform under the heroic
statue OF Washington fairly shook the
foundations OF the building itself. The
moment the exercises at the Sub'Treas.
ury began the military parade started
up Broadway from Pine street on It's
triumphal march with General scho.
iield commanding. The parade was In
three divisions, the first consisting Of
regular troops, cadets and naval corps.
The West Pointers, 400 strong, led the
column, The second division consisted
OF the State Militia and they marched
In the order in which their respective
States were admitted to the Union,
with the Governors Of each State at the
head OF its corps. d,
The crowds that lined the streets and
filled tho windows aud housetopS were
unprecedented even for New York. Tho
march was simply an ovation along the
entire route both for the troops and the
President.
At Union Square stand was reserved
exclusively fol women and children free
OF charge. 1t held $500 persons. 1t Is
estimated that 100000 persons were
able to see the parade from the
stands specially built for that purpose.

Mr.. Depew spoke eloQuently and at
great length, After reviewing the his
tory OF the birth OF the Republic and
the inauguration OF the first President,
he concluded rs follows:
Posterity owes to WashingtOn's adj
ministration the policy and measures,
the force aud direction which made pos.
sible this glorious result, In giving the
organization Of the Department OF State
and foreign relations to Jefferson, the
Treasury TO Hamilton, and the Supreme
Court to Jay, he selected for his Cabinet
and called to his assistance the ablest
and most eminent men OF his time.
Hamilton's marvellous versatility and
genius designed the armory and the
weapons for the promotion OF National
power and greatness, but Washington's
steady support carried them through.
Parties crystalized, aud party passions
were intense, debates were intemper.

and secretly plotted against, as the hrm

posed duties upon imports and excise
upon spirits and created revenue and
resources, organized National Banking
system for public needs and private
business, and called out an army to put
down by force OF arms resistance to the
Federal Laws imposing unpopular taxes,
Upon this plan, marked out by the Con-
stitution, this great aTchiteGt, With un-
iailing faith and unialterIng courage,
bpilded the Republic. He gave to the
government the principles Of action and
sources Of power which carried 1t sue.
