INAUGURAL ADDRESS
Sounds the Watchwords Of the
New administration
Ceremonies, Despite Weather,
of Unrivalled Splcndor.

WASHINGTON, March 4.-Grover Cleve-
land OF New York, thrice nominated for
PRESIDENT of the United States and twice
elected, was to-day successfully indicted
into that high Office for his second term,
with all appropriate ceremonies and the
gathering Of mighty multitude, and with
the accompaniment of binding snow
storm. But not withstanding every disad-
vantage OF weather the latter occasion was
greater than the first. Had the atmosphor
ic conditions been anything like favorable,
instead of being bad as could possibly be,
there would probably have been 90, 900 men
and a number OF ladies' marching or riding
in the parade, as against 20, 900 in 1888.
They were all here waiting to fnll in line,
but at the last moment many of the
CARNATIONS were compelled to desist from
participation. Nevertheless, the occasion
was made memorable by the vast attend
enCe.
To-day, also, the governors of II States,
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and
Massachusetts in the North and East; of
Pennsylvania and Maryland, among the
Middle States; OF Georgia, North and South
Carolina and Louisiana in the South; and
of Wisconsin in the West, participated in
the national ceremonies.
The order Of proceeding was almost iden-
tically the same as four years ago, with the
exception of the chief participants reversed
and 1t differed very little except in the ex-
tent Of the demons tration, from the cere-
monies Of eight years ago, which brought
Mr.. Cleveland to Washington (on March ,,
1880, for the first time in his national ca
reer. Time and that "capacious urn of
death which keeps every name in motion, d"
had wrought many Changes in the interim,
however.
The most dramatic incident connected
with Mr. Ceveiaud's first Inauguration was
the passage of the House of representa-
tives, under the skillful management OF
Speaker Randall, of the bill which author
lied the placing Of Cen Grant on the re-
tired list OF the army with the rank and
pay of a full general; President Arthur S
nomination Of the dying hero to the position
thus created; and the Senates immediate
confirmation OF the appointment, in open
executive session then and there held for
the first and only time in its history, all
this accomplished within a few minutes of
the hour when the Forty eighth Congress
and the administration of President Arthur
passed out of existence together, and while
Vice Presldent Hendricks was waiting al
The door OF the Senate chamber to take the
oath OF office at tho
Hands of Acting Vice Presideut Ed m d Ia
and barely 20 minutes before Mr.. Cleveland
