WASHINGTON, ID. c., March 4.-Grover
Cleveland, of New York, thrice nomi-
mated for President Of the United
States, and twice elected, was, to-day,
lnducted into that high office for his sec
ond term, with all appropriate cere-
monies, and IN the presence of mighty
multitude and with the accom- paniment
OF binding snow storm. But not
Wlthstanding every disadvantage of
weather, the last occasion was greater
than the first. Had the atmospheric
conditions been anything like favor
able, instead of being as bad as could
be, there would probably have been
$4,000 men and number of ladies rid
ing IN the parade, as against 1000 in
1850. They were here, all waiting to
fall in line, but at the last moment some
organization Ms were compelled to desist
from participating. Nevertheless, the
occasion was made a memorable one
by the vast attendance. To-
day, also, the governors of
eleven great statcs-of New York, New
Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts IN
the North and East; of Pennsylvania and
Maryland, among the Middle states; of
Georgia, North and South Carolina and
Louisiana III the South, and of Wisconsin
in the West, participated In the national
ceremonies, and thereby emphasized the
complete restoration of national unity
More interesting and significant even than
this, perhaps, in the eyes of other nations
and the historian, were the manifestations
of the marvellous growth Of the country in
population and power, and the fact that
the m0mCntOaS and majestic change in the
government OF 10, ,09t, 900 of people was ac-
c0mp!lShcd according TO a Cut-and-dried
70, mula, every step OF which was planned
and publicly announced beforehand, and
without noticeable disturbance of public
interests or the creation Of any excitement
except that naturally accompanying great
national pageant and the influx of 100000
or 100000 sghtseerS into the capital.
The order or proceeding was almost
idenuCally the same as four years ago,
with the action Of the chief participants
reversed, and II differed very little. except
in the extent Of tie demonstration, from
the ceremonies Of eight years ago, which
brought Mr. Cleveland to Washington Tor
the first time III ms public career.
The morning opened with a heavy snow,
which fell III great soft flakes melting as
they fell, but which, driven by the wind
rendered umbrellas a useless protection.
The troops, who were 10 participate IN the
FIRST part of the proceedings as the escort
OF &hc reuTing and elected President to the
capitol, presented Il WIntry appearance,
mutTcd in their SnOW-COYcTcd OVCrC"atS,
the guns OF the artillery protected with
tGrpaUllDS and covered with snow. Inc
COnCOuISc IN the streets were nearly all
under umbrellas, and the open SIanGS
were summed, While the covered ones
were eagerly sought.
NICC-PreSldcnt-CleCt Stevenson, as he
rose at an early hour this morning and
gazcd out at the driving snow, declined 10
join III some iO"ular remarks mad" AGAINST
Uncle Jerry ltusH aud his weather bH-
Icau, rcmarkIng that 1t was good

which was abruptly ended 10y the arrival

drew up III front OF the hotel AS every
one knew. it was the one which had been
provided to convey the President ami
PreSidcnt-elect to the capitol. Then en-
sued a touching scene. The President
elect had bowed to the party Of officials
and personal friends gathered about HIM
and was about to pass through the door
way. when Mrs Cleveland called hlm back,
and, with disregard for the assembled
company, threw her arms about her huS-
band and kissed him several times, bidding
HIM 'GOd-Spccd' on his way TO take the
oath OF office. Those who saw tins leave
taking cndcaVOTed to look unconscious of
what was gong on, but the act OF Mrs.
Cleveland was done so SIMPLY and with
such w0manly grace that it seemed TO he
the most natural occurrence in the world,
and endcaTed the wife of the President
