McKinley's Inauguration to q second
term as the chief executive Of Ohio was,
as usual when great local interest is
manifested in such affairs, more of q
social than political event. Colonel
James K.lbourne, a leading business and
society man, and a possible Democratic
nominee some day for congress-, was
chairman of the committee on reception.

Didn't Talk Politics.
Similar events usually constitute a
semi-holiday. Business is not suspended,
but a great many people give the day or
evening to pleasure. These courtesies,
regardless of party, probably begun
with the inauguration of the late Will
lam Allen, and have been continued
almost without exception ever since. It
was perhaps on that account that Gov
rho Mckinley refrsined from touch
ing especially upon political topics.
Some of his political friends were of the
opinion that he ought to have spoken
directly upon political affairs of national
Importance, but the governor decided to
do otherwise.
Contrary to former experience upon
many similar occasions in late years the
weather was clear and cold, and the
we'll paved streets were dry and clean.
: A Great Procession.
About 5000 men were in the process
sion. Among these were the Blaine and
logan clubs of Cincinnati, the Young
Mems club of, Canton, the Toledo Re-
publican club, the local Republican
clubs and certain military organizations
all in command of Chief Marshal H. A.
Axline, ex-adjutant general of the state.
There were not, Of course, any Demo-
cratic clubs in the line, but the military
and civic organizations and the stats Of
marshals contained many well known
local and other Democrats.
Among the military was the United
States Barracks band and a battalion of
1870 men, Lieutenant Bogardus Eldridge
of the Tenth infantry in command, with
Lieutenant Willis 7. May of the Fiji
teenth infantry acting adjutant.
The Ohio National guard was repre-
sented by ~detachments from the Eighth,
Sixteenth. Fourteenth, Third and Sec.
ond infantry and the Ninth battalion.
Lieutenant Wilson, U. s. A., on de.
tached service at the Ohio state univer-
sity, was in command of a brigade in
which the University Infantry battalion
and the University Mounted Light
artillery marched. The parade moved
at 8 o'clock. It was viewed by the gov
rno and his staff. Many leading citi-
zens in political, social and business life
occupied seats on the large reviewing
stand, which was on Broad street, north
of the capitol.
The Reception.
The event Of special social importance
occurred in the evening in the senate
chamber, where the governor, in charge
of the committee of reception, received
the people. The Arion, Liederkranz,
Maennerchor singing societies sang as
one, and also as separate organizations.
Neddermyers' orchestra and other
music of a high character constituted
part of the programme.
The Inauguration Ceremonies.
Concerning the Inauguration proper.
the committee of the legislature in
charge decided to have the ceremony
held in the rotunda of the capitol III case
of bad weather, instead of at one of.the
entrances to the building. The weather
being clear, the ceremony was held at
the west front. Soon after 10 o'clock
the governor appeared, and cheered by
the legislative committee, consisting Of
members of each house, and receiving a
cordial welcome from the large audience.
Rev. Archibald A. 3. Taylor, pastor of
Westminster Presbyterian church, in
voked divine blessing upon the occasion,
after which the governor was sworn in
TO Office by Chief Justice Bradbury Of
the supreme court. The governor then
delivered his inaugural address to the
people. :
