President Harrison has demonstrated that
there is stll hope for those who even
come In at the death.
l learned this morning that Governor
Mckinney had notified some OF his
friends that he and his staff would not
attend the Inauguration. as they had
not anticipated taking part In the parade,
and that he he'd been notified that there
was no place reserved for them on lne
reviewing stand The Governor evidently
does not understand about the inaugural
Arrangements The reviewing stand is
not intended for the Governors and their
stafls although any Governor and his
wife are entitled to seats upon IT. The
Governors and their STATS are requested
to enter the parade This requires two
or three carriages at ten dollars apiece
and every other Governor and STAFF will
attend, If at all, in this way.
This will be a terrible blow TO the inau-
guration should the Governor still re-
fuse TO come. but with General Fitzhugh
Lee and escort in charge Of the Third
division. with Hon. jefferson Levy at the
head Of thirty 10 forty Virginia clubs,
with the Blues and Ashby and Stuart
Horse Guards with the Light Artillery OF
Norfolk with three brass bands, and with
"the Walker Light Guard, commanded
hy the sweet tenor, Captain Frank Cum
ningham," perhaps we can worry along
for a day at least without the Governor.
The real hard part of this "stay-at-
home" programme, however, falls upon
the staff. who for three long years have
kept their new uniforms packed up, with
out having in the whole gubernatorial
term a single opportunity to dress up
and appear in public with the Governor.
