Grover Cleveland Of New York, thrice
nominated Tor President Of the United
states and twice elected, has been snc-
cess utly indicted into that high Office
tor his second term with ali the appro-
pirate ceremonies and the gathering OF
mighty mulsitudes. The last occasion
was greater than the first. The military
and civic display was more imposing
In 1885 there were not more than 20, 900
in line at the outside at the inaugural
parade. On this occasion at least 40, 600
people marched along the great avenue.
HAD the atmospheric conditions been
anything like favora Die, instead OF being
as bad As they could possibly be, there
would probably have been 5000 men
and nun her OF ladies in the parade,
against 5000 in 1885. They were ali
WAITING to tall in line, but at the last
moment some OF the organizations were
compelled to desist from participating.
Nevertheless the occasion will be mem
orable by the vast attendance. The
morning opened with hesvy fall OF wet
snow, which melted as it fell. The mil
ltary presented wintry appearance with
snow-covered overcoats. The guns OF
the artillery were covered with tar pau
Inns, ana they, too, were snow-covered.
The concourse in the streets was almost
all under umbrellas, which were little
protection against the snow driven be-
fore the wind. A force OF men were ke OF
at work on the inauguration stand clear
ing away the snow.
The Governors OF eleven States-New
York, New Jersey aud Massachusetts,, in
the East; Pennsylvania and MARYLAND,
among the Middle States; Georgia,
North and South Carolina and Louisiana,
in the South, and Wisconsin, in the
West-participated in the ceremonies,
thereby emphas xing complete ma
tional unity. TIE order OF proceedings
Was almost identieally the same as four
years ago, with the action OF the chief
partici pants reversed, and differed very
little, except in the extent of the demon
stration, from the ceremonies of eight
years ago, which brought Cleveland 10
Washington for the first time in HE
public career.
There were four great features OF in
auguratlon day: The closing hours OF
Congress, into which so much law-msk.
NJ and history is so frs qrently crowded :;
the ride o. the retiring President aud
President elect and Vice President.eect,
with their military escort, from tn-
Waite House TO he Capitol to lay down
snd taxa up their re ns OF power, re-
specilvely; the pagean OF the returning
procession after the inauguration, and
the 'niugural oall at night. The line OF

broad, we'll paved PennaylvanIa avenue
could produce. Tie public and private
stands along the line OF march, from
the Cap tol to a poiut beyond the White
House, had seating capacity for 6D,OU
people. Every one was crowded. Every
loot OF standing room a ong the route Of
procession, July two mics n length,
was occupied. Windows commanding q
view OF the parad. brought iabuior
prices, and the advantageous seats 90

The main stand, from which Cleve
land reviewed the parade, Immediately

ing capacity OF 100. 1t was decorate

and surinounted by the arms OF tn.
United states. GA the extreme risht

CIeveIand's State, and on the extreme
lett the Coit-ofarms o. Illinois, Steven
sons state. Between them were the ar
mortal bearings OF the thirteen original
States, each surmounted BY dag
bearing its name. Cushioned Eats we're
provided for the President and his Cabi
net, who surrounded him. Foding
chairs were reserved for the diplomatic
corps immediately behind him, and on
either side were arranged seats Tor sen
ators and members of the Holse and in.
vlted guests. The vast treasury building
was completely walled in with stands.
On the little parks ard public reserya-
tons on the line OF march and at every
other avail able point stands were erected,
the largest extending the entire leng h
OF Lafayette Square immed ately in iron

stand. On Capitol Hill as far as the eve
coui d reach from the eastern front OF the
capitol there was an unduiating sea Of
humanity Assem- bled to witness the ad-
mInistration OF the oath Of offics to the
new President by the Chief Justice o.
