WASHINGTON, March 4.-Saturday
Grover Cleveland of New York, thrice
nominated for president of the United
States and twice elected, was success
fully indicted into that high Office for
his second term with all appropriate
ceremonies and the gathering Of a
mighty multitude. and with the ac-
compartment of a binding snowstorm.
But. Notwithstanding every disadvant-
age of the weather, the last occasion
was greater than the first.
Had the atmospheric condition been
anything like favorable, instead of being
as bad as could possibly be- there would
probably have been 10000 men and a
number of ladies marching or riding in
the parade, as against $4,000 in 1885.
They were all here waiting to fall in
line, but at the last moment many of
the organizations were compelled to de-
sist from participating. Nevertheless,
the occasion was made memorable by
the vast attendance.
The governors of eleven great states
New York, New Jersey, Connecticut,
Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Mary
land, Louisiana. Georgia, North Caro-
lima, South Carolina and Wisconsin
participated in the national ceremonies
and thereby emphasized the complete
restoration of national unity.
Mere interesting and significant than
this, perhaps, in the eyes of other ma
tions and the historian, were the mar
vellous growth of the country in popu-
lation and power, and the fact that this
momeptous and majestic change in the
government of $4,000. 900 of people was
accomplished according to cut-and-
dried formula, every step of which was
planned and publicly announced before
hand, and without noticeable disturb
ance of public interests or the creation
of any excitement except that naturally
accompanying great political pageant
and the influx of two or three hundred
thousand sightseers into the capital.
The order of proceeding was almost,
identically the same as four years ago.
with the action of the chief partici-
pants reversed. and it differed very lit
tie, except in the extent OF the demon
stration, from the ceremonies of eight
years ago, which brought Mr.. Cleve-
land to Washington ION the 2d OF
March, 1880, for the first time in his
public career.
There are four great leading features
of Inauguration day-the closing hours
of congress, into which so much law
making and history are frequently
crowded; the ride of the retiring presi-
dent and the president and vice presi-
dent-elect, with their military escort,
from the White House to the Capitol to
lay down and take up the reins of power
respectively; the pageant of the return
ing procession and review after the GER
emonies of Inauguration are over, and
the inauguration ball at night.
Since blunt old John Adams, gripsack
in hand, ''slid" out of the White House
in the early morning dawn of March 4,
to avoid extending to his hated rival,
Thomas Jefferson, the Inequalities OF
the executive mansion, there has been
no break in the uniform courtesy ex-
tended every four or eight years by the
retiring chief to his successor, unless
there be excepted the personal misun-
derstanding which arose between Pres
ident Andrew johnson and General
Grant in the last days of the formers
administration, which made their inter
course frigid formality. In this year
of grace courtesy between the outgoing
and incoming powers has reigned SUI
