A CONTRAST.
How Cleveland sneaked Into the Cap,tal,
and How Harrison Didn't

WASHINGTON, February 26th.-There was a
great contrast between the manner of Presi-
dent-elect harrisons arrival and that of Mr..
Cleveland on March 3 1885 kvery precaution
was taken by the latter to keep from the public
knowledge of his presence in the city until he
was safely housed in his hotel For some un-
known reason, Mr. Cleveland was nervously
afraid that an attempt would be made upon his
life. The time of his departure from New York
was concealed from the people. The train
which brought him came throush in the night
and none but train men knew that Cleveland,
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland, aniel Manning aud
Dan Lamont were occupants OF the two special
cars attached to the regular express that
reached the city at 7:20 A NJ.
There were six members of the Pre.identia!
party whose identity was concealed even from
the train men. These were Inspector Byrnes
and five members of his detective staff. They
surrounded the President as he left the cars bv
an unaceustomed route and escorted him to a
carriage IN waiting. A detective drove the car
riage to the Arlington Hotel. detective sat
on the box by the driver The third officer
drove III buggy alongside the carriage and
when the President had passed through the
side entrance into the hotel and entered his
apartments, detectives guarded the doors and
approaches thereto

that at least fifty cents per head should be ex-

and instead of encouraging these inst tutions in
