Harrisburg. Dec. 6.-The coming in
auguration of General Hastings as gov
ernor of this state promises to be
very grand affair from every point OF
view. Already clubs from all over the
state have announced their intention OF
being present, but as yet very few nave
secured quarters. The hotels, as a rule,
are refusing to entertain clubs except
to furnish them with meals, and as
consequence halls are in demand for
sleeping accommodations. Philadelphia
clubs thus far lucky enough TO get
in on the ground floor are the follow
ing: Penrose club, at the Columbus
hotel: Fifteenth Ward and Thirteenth
Ward clubs, at the United States hotel;
William X. Leeds club, at the Colum-
bus and the Continental club Will oc-
cupy sleeping cars with a dining car
attached. Clubs from Lancaster. Read
ing, Williamsport, York, Mechanics
burg, Altoona, Pittsburg, Bradford
Erie. Bellefonte, Lebanon, Scranton,
Wilkes-Barre and other cities have sig
nifled their intention Of being present
and the next four weeks Will see some
tall hustling for quarters.
The military may or may not De
called out in a body. Adjutant Gen
eral Greenland says he wants to con-
suit with General Hastings before any
action is taken, to see what he would
like to have. The State college cadets
will be here for certain as an escort
a nitro Ma
tional Guard Is not called out, II IS
pretty certain that a regiment from
each of the brigades, together with the
Governors troop, City troop, Sheridan
troop and one battery will comprise
the military part Of the procession.
There has been considerable opposl-
zion. to calling out the entire guard, on
the ground that the men cannot hnd
accommodations sufficiently comforta-
ble in cold weather.
Guests of Governor Pattison.
The arrangements for the inaugural
ceremony will not be made until the
legislature meets, when joint commit
tee of the senate and house Will be
appointed, who will see to all arrange
ments. 1t is quite likely that Senator
George Handy Smith, Of Philadelphia,
who has three times served in the ca
pacity, will be chairman of the JOINT
committee. If the weather is not too
severe the ceremonies will take place IN
front of the capitol, and the procession
reviewed from the magnificent new
stairway leading to the capitol, at West
20 OF, Snuara Waathnr Will COM
pei the holding of the ceremonies in
the hall of the house, but the review
will take place just the same
on the Saturday preceding the in
auguration General Hastings and fam
lily will come to Harrisburg as the
guests of Governor and Mrs. Pattison
at the executive mansion, so that they
will be acquainted with their new home
when they come to occupy 1t for the
following four years. This is an act
of courtesy that was extended Governor
Pattison four years ago by Governor
Beaver. Indications point to tre-
mendous crowd Of spectators.
The House plums.
Chief Clerk Voorhees,, of the house of
representatives, is here arranging for
the coming session of the legislature,
He claims that Resident Clerk Fetterolf
will be advanced to the chief clerkship,
and Reading Clerk Rex to Fetterolf' s
present place. Voorhees, is not an APP
plicant for reelection. as he expects to
get a good political place in Philadel-
phia early In the year. AS to the place

League of Republican clubs. Mr.. Voor,

pointment of Colonel Thomas G. Sam

Another Republican politician of
prominence in Harrisburg today is eX-
Marshal Harlan, of COatesville, who is
canvassing the political situation with
a view of announcing his candidacy for
the nomination for state treasurer In
1895. He claims the east Is entitled to

that the incoming governor has selected
his cabinet from Eastern Pennsylvania

Factory Inspector Watchorn has his

all signs fail, he will be removed soor
after the change of administration
