The Russellville Democrat., 1893-03-09
FOR THE SECOND TIME.
Mir. Cleveland Inducted Into the High
 Office of Chief Magistrate.

WASHINGTON, D. C., March 4 Grover Cleveland of New York, thrice nominated for President of the United States and twice elected, was today successfully inducted in to that high office for his second term, with all appropriate ceremo- nies and the gathering of a mighty multitude, with the accompaniment of binding snowstorm. But not withstanding every disadvantage of weather the last occasion was great CT than the first.
 It was more imposing in the mili- tary and civic display. Had the at mospheric conditions been anything like favorable instead of being as bad as they could possibly be, there would have probably been 60,000 men and number of ladies march ing in the parade, as against 25,O0O in 1885. They were all here waiting to fall in line, but at the last mo ment some organizations were com pelled to desist from participating. Nevertheless the occasion was q memorable one for the vast attend ance.
 The Governors of II great States, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, and Massachusetts in the North and East: of Pennsylvania and Mary land among the Middle States; of Georgia, North and South Carolina and Louisiana in the South, and of Wisconsin in the far West, partici- pated in the national ceremonies and thereby emphasized the complete restoration of national unity.
 More interesting and significant even than this, perhaps, in the eyes of other nations and the historian, were the manifestations of the mar vicious growth ofthe country in pop ulation and power, and the fact that this momentous and majestic change in the Government of 65,000,000 of people was accomplished according to cut-and-dried formula, every step of which was planned and pub licly announced beforehand and without noticeable disturbance of public interests or the creation of any excitement except that natural ly accompanying great national pageant and the influx of 100000 or 100000 sightseers into the capital.
 THE ORDER OF PROCEEDING.
 The order of proceeding was al- most identically the same as four years ago, with the action of the chief participants reversed, and it differed very little, except in the ex- tent of the demonstration from the of eight years ago which brought Mir. Cleveland to Washing ton for the first time in his public career,
 There are four great leading feat ures of inauguration day--the clos ing hours ofCongress, into which so much law making and history are frequently crowded; the ride of the retiring President and the President and Vice President elect with their escort from the White House to the Capital to lay down and take up the reins of power re- speetiyely; the pageant of the re turning procession and review after the ceremonies of inauguration are over and the inauguration ball at night. Since blunt old John Adams, gripsack in hand, slid out of the White House in the early dawn of March 4, 1891, to avoid extending to his hated rival, Thomas Jefferson, the hospitalities of the executive mansion, there has been no break in the uniform cour- Lesy extended every four or eight 1 years by the retiring chief of his unless there De excepted l .he personal misunderstanding which arose between President An lrew Johnson and General Grant in he last days of the formers admin stration, which made their inter 'ourse frigid formalitv.
