SACRAMENTO, Jan. 12.-Plain Jim Budd,
looking never better in his life, his curly
black hair waving back from his white
forehead. his one Napoleonic lock falling
down upon it, stood up before the assem-
bsd multitude and was proclaimed Gov
ernor to-day. he is plain Jim no longer,
now and forever. He has said that he
SAID in early childhood that he would do
il, and be has done it.
Governor Budd was by all means the
most impressive thing about the ceremony,
not excepting the colonels on horseback
and the blare of trumpets-he and his
black curly hair and his Napoleouic lock.
The day was gray and not inspiring. bu t
the IroquOis Club was here and filed in
the deficiency.
The people of the city had locked their
front and back doors and were out on the
streets, presenting long and variegated
setting for the mill ary parade by lining
40 on the sidewalks from end to end of the
line of march.
The arrangements were carried out per-
on < street at II o'clock, and by half past
the hour was ready to move on to the
Capitol. The Second Infantry of Sacra-
meuto had the right, with Light Battery 3
and the signal corps of the Fourth Brigade
In their order. Then came First Infantry
cadets of San Francisco and the Sixth
Infantry from Stockton, Fresno and
Bakersfield, the Third 1ufantry of San
Francisco and the Iroquois Club in their
white hats. tomahawks and badges on
tLeir breasts. as big and gilt and gay as
high degree Masonic aprons. They were
also attended by great deal of noise, and
as if under their escort marched behind
the exempt firemen of Stock ton and Sacra-
mento.
Governor Markham, big, bronzed and
rather heavy of manner, sat beside the
man wno, in few minutes, was to be
Governor in his stead. and in whose honor
was all this display, man not so big, but
pale, keen-eyed. very much alive, with
black. curly hair and a NapoIeonic lock
falling across his white forehead-Jim
Budd of Stockton.

Governors, State and city officials in car

taiument to the people. 1t arrived at the
Capital grounds within a quarter of an
hour of noon. and there the Governors

procession passed In review. Tho bat

All this time there had been q steady
procession ofgood citizens into this Assem-
bly, chamber. There had been a briei
session of both bodies, but even during its
progress the privileged citizen had made
his way through the gates and located
many a seat The Speakers dais had,
sion Of by corps OF artful florists, and
when the doors were thrown open it was
dressed In summer palms and ferns and
climbing plants, and with its high arms
lifting their array of glistening globes and
pendent lusters far above them, was bsau-
tIful.
The crowd kept coming, the gallery
being early filed TO its limit. ALI the
loose chairs In the building were carried
to the floor of the assembly and inserted
into every availa BILE space. And here the
speculative turn Of the officers In charge
was given a chance for display, for they
held them at and received for them fancy
prices.
The city Of Stockton knows when it has
been honored, and its fair womsn had
come over in cloud of grace and beauty
and holiday attire to testify TO their ap-
probation. They took the front seats,
where they could see and hear and be
seen. The reporters tables, which on
ordinary occasions stretch in line In
trout of the clerks desk and flank the
Speakers ears on both sides, were
crowded into the space to the right, and
we're there so encroached upon by the
crowd as 10 put the workers at great
disadvantage.
