Figuratively, though perhaps not literally
on the steps CT the capitol Benjamin Harri-
son laid down his ONCE and Grover Cleveland
became the chief magistrate OF the United
States
The ceremonies OF taking the oath ere simple
but impressive. The chief magistrate OF over
6OOOQ0OO people was surrounded by the digni-
taries OF the government and representatives OF
all the foreign powers The oath was admins
tered by the highest judicial officer OF the gov
eminent and in the presence OF the reprcsen Ia
uves OF the people, yet with all this glory he
did not forget the early teachings of his child.
Eood and used as he did eight years ago the
simple little Bible presented to him by his
mother when he started on the Journey OF life.
Having performed this ceremony he turned to
the people and then told them what he hoped TO
do during his administration
His inaugural was not long and he delivered
II in clear, strong voice; but notwi ,hstandng
that he was not heard by one-hundredth part
OF the crowd in front of him The last words
had hardly left his lips before the signal was
given and the cannon doomed forth announcing
TO the world that Grover Cleveland was presi-
dent OF the United States.
Then was the timo for the crowd to cheer,
and they did IL.
Hastily and amid the shouts OF the populace
the president and ex-president Harrison left
the last portico and began the triumphal return
up the avenue 20 the white house. BY this time
the streets were densely packed with people,
and as the president and ex-president and their
military escort passed along the wide avenue
cheers rent the air and the democrats knew
that they were again in power. II was with a
proud heart and smiling face that Mrs Cleve-
land saw her husband pass in the carriage be-
fore her as the president OF the United States
She had never before had the extreme Joy OF
seeing him ride up the avenue on such an occa-
sion

that they can be reached and restrained by fed.

live our citizens from their interference and
