Washington, March 2-1h" real Inauguration
season here may justly DE said to begin with the
arrival of the Pre,cnt-clcct. Thi, year the usual
week OF bustc and excitement has been cut down
TO two days: for Mr.. Cleveland sensibly decided
to come to the Capital only AT the last moment
and 70 do as little after getting here as might
bc "oniormable TO the demands of ccrcmony AMI Of
tho local Inauguration Committee. President
HARRISON IN lsSD. spent nearly week here
finishing mp his task Of selecting Cabinet. and
his presence at the Arlington Hotel, and the labor
he was known 10 be engaged in, made the now
demolished johnson annex for the time the focus
Of the most intense political interest of excite
ment Mr. Cleveland has come to Washington at
a much later day, and with his Cabinet completed
and announced, 30 that the interest attaching to
his tardy appearance at the Arlington is a wholly
personal and spectacular one.
IL is hardly Necessary to say therefore, that
the Inauguration season. begun this afternoon,
opened rather tancly and placidIy. The city has
filed mp somewhat with visitors tonight, and
there are decorations and parade stands every
where along the main avenue. Many prominent
Democratic oficcscckcr- and the advance guard of
the Inauguration day paradcrs have also arrived;
but thcr" has been far noticcably little stir or
fail, will be one marked by unusual popular
apathy in spite of the crowds which may be
drawn hero by the spectacular attractions of the
approaching ceremony. Al the Arlington Hotel

view of the induction into power of strictly
non-par'l,an Administration. their own services

conscious If whatever may have happened to
