LAST NIGHT AT TRENTON
A Grand Reception at Which the
Two Governors We're Present.

TRENTON, Jan. 20, 1890. Trenton this
evening is sea of bunting Flags are
flying from the public buildings and
many of the private residences. The ho-
tells and several of the larger houses are
decorated with streamers, shields and all
the picturesque designs known to the dec
orators art.
The indications are that the capital
never presented a more picturesque APP
pearance than it will assume tomorrow
when the hosts of triumphant Democrats
march through its streets to pay honor to
Governor Leon Albeit.
All the hotels are crowded to overflow
ing. Almost every room contains two
beds, more three and many four, while
cots and sofas are at a premium.
Lodgings in private houses are also
quoted away above par and many people
left town this evening unable to obtain
Accommodations
The Oldest inhabitant has crept out of
his hole to participate in Governor Alb
belts inauguration and he declares that
he remembe bers no inauguration which has
surpassed what this promises to be.
Governor Albeit arrived here about six
o'clock this evening and went direct to
his rooms at the Trenton House.
He came down in a private car attached
to the four o'clock express, and was ac-
companied by his son Leon, Jr, who is
almost certain to be his private secretary,
his daughter and several friends.
The event of the day was the grand re-
ception which was rendered to Governor
Albeit this evening in the parlors of the
Trenton House by the Democratic Society
of the State.
The parlors were handsomely decor
ated with red, white and blue bunting,
potted plants and tall palms. Governor
Albeit stood beneath design formed by
the crossed National and State colors.
On his right was Governor Green and
on his left Senator John r. Mcpherson,
who came up from Washington to lend
dignity to the occasion The members of
the society wore large red silk badges
with the name of their organization in
gold letters, and larger badge of white
silk, adorned with an excellent portrait
of the new Governor and the date OF the
inauguration. Little Davy Narr pinned
one of the white badges on Senator Nc
Pherson's breast and an enthusiastic
Trentoner decorated him in similar
manner with one of the red affairs.
From eight O'Clock until ten steady
stream of people passed before the Gov
ernors and grasped them by the hand.
Although the greater part or the throng
were Democrats, there were many Re-
publicans who did not hesitate to con-
