CLEVELAND, O., May 29.-The roar of
cannon and the cheers Of fifty thousand peo-
pie Welcomed President Harrison and Vice

noon. Business men stood upon depot plat
forms and street corners and waved theiK
hats; workingmen gathered at the windows
of factories and 'cheered; housewives stood
chief executive, and school children swarmsd
along the railroad tracks and waved Amer
lean flags Is the presidential train rushed on
to its destination. The monster demonstrs-
ton at the Union depot, however, crowned
the triumphal entry to the city. The in
terror of the city had been transformed by
gay bunting and bright hags. It was gsily
decorated with streamers, and red, white and
blue hung from the iron trusses near the
roof and held In place by bright colored
shields. When the train stopped there was
a grand rush for thu rear car.
Outside the gates the space was packed
with people and it was no easy task for
squad Of patrolmen 70 keep open passage
from the main gate to the carriage entrance.
The first to greet the president was ex-Presi-
dent Hayes. The president shook hands with
General Hayes and several other gentlemen
and was then escorted to his carriage. The
police had great difficulty in keeping the pass
sage open. All this time cheer after cheer
for the president had assembled, and now the
guns upon the man-of.war Michigan, which
lay under the east arm of the breakwater,
began to thunder the presidential salute.
Outside the depot the street was packed
with thousands Of enthusiastic and demon
s ts people: As the president
mighty roar, and as the carriage moved from
the entrance the cheering was repeated. In
advance of the carriage doing escort duty
were the dashing cavalrymen of the First
Cleveland cavalry. In the first carriage were
President Harrison, ex-President R. B.
Hayes, Hon. Amos Townsend and D. P. Ellis.
A number Of carriages carrying the other
the line gay bunting was displayed and hum
dreds of flags were flung to the breeze. From
the sidewalks, windows and house tops came
cheers and cries of welcome. The parks
of the public square were crowded
with people as the procession
trotted through. At the home of Mr..
Eells on Euclid avenue the party disbanded.
President Harrison and Marshal RAmsdell, the
guests of Mr.. Eells, alighted and the other
carriages rolled away to the various houses
where the occupants were to be entertained.

tho day and ia the guest OF his nephew, Henry
8. Sherman. Tonight the president was ten

open to the public, and an awful crush was
the result. The dedicatory ceremonies at the
