Mr.. Cleveland and party arrived here
at 6 this evening. Col. Lamont says the
journey from Lakewood was without
special incident except at small station
near Philadelphia where the President
elect did some hand shaking.
An immense throng of people sur
rounded the station in Washington and
filed the streets on either side. When
Cleveland alighted mighty shout went
up. With great difficulty passage way
was cleared. Mr.. Cleveland, bowling his
acknowledgements, made his way to the
carriage rapidly and was driven to the
hotel.
Dinner was served in private dining
room at 8. and lasted two hours. Mean
while friends of Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland
began to gather in the lobbies of the ho-
tel, send up cards, supplemented by
large number of members of various po-
litical organizations in the city. The
presidential party received few callers,
however, and these were confined to per-
sonal friends. One of the first to arrive
was Vice President-elect Stevenson,
who remained but short time. Colonel
j. S. Wilson and Mr.. and Mrs. Russell
Harrison called.
Tomorrow evening a. dinner will be
given at the White House, in honor Of
