 There was wild huzza from a thousand throats as a carriage bear ing the President-elect came in sight preceded by Grand Marshal McMa- hon and staff. President-elect Cleve- land and President Harrison both raised their hats in response to the l popular salute, but the only effect was to redouble the enthusiasm of the multitude.

 Notwithstanding the exceedingly incloment weather, MT. Cleveland re moved his silk hat and with bare head addressed the multitude. He kept his overcoat on and secured what warmth he could for the fingers of his right hand by keeping it in his overcoat pocket, holding his hat at his side in his left hand, which was protected from the weather by his glove.
