marked the accession Of VIM. Mckinley
of Ohio, student, lawyer, representative,
6 'vernor, but best of ALL one of the COM
mon people so dear TO the American heart
to the high Office Of President of the
United States of America.
There was flash of gatiflcd triumph in
the dark eye benelth the broad white
brow that scanned the shouting and
cheering multitude that confronted him
on the wide terrace Of the east front of
the Capitol, but an expression of humility
mingled with the realization of the heavy
burdens he was about to assume, and Of
manly determination to fully discharge
the manifold duties of his high Office as he
bent his head and repeated i'm a clear voice
the words: II do solemnly swear that
i will faithfully execute the Office Of Pres
ident of the United States and will to
the best of my abilit7, preserve, protect
and defend tie Constitution of the United
sta o.
Thus did William Mckinley gather from
the hand of Grover Cleveland the rens of
power and become President of the
chosen by the American people.
There have been many inaugurations i'm
Washington, but in many respects that
of March 4, 1897, will go down in history
as excelling oil that have gone before.
The citizens of the Capitol city worked
to that end, ysith q degree Of energy un-
known even in this public-spirltcd COM
munity. AS late as a fortnight ago there
were lowering clouds of financial deprcs-
sion, casting heavy shadows over other
wise bright prospects, and there was ap-
Trehension that the great ceremony might

fears were unfoundcd and che great popu-

Rarely has the morning of Inaugural
tion day opened so promisingly, so far as
the weather conditions were concerned.
The rain of yesterday was followed by a
Northwestern, which, while sweeping away
the heavy clouds, also attained at times
the proportions of gale. This moderat-
ei, however, during the night, and MS TIE
sun rose this morning there remained
only smooth steady breeze starlight out
Of the northwest, which held the myriad
of flags flying over the city out at their
full length and brought just enough frost
In IL to stimulate the circulation of the
early risers.
Everybody agreed that it was an ideal
Inauguration day, as far as the weather
was concerned, fer those who expected to
march in the parade, while the increasing
warmth of the sun as il mounted higher
in the blue sky reassurred the persons
who feared for their comfort in the Gov

Meanwhile Troop A moved outside the
grounds, but left four troopers in waiting
on the White House portico, of whom
one was Mr.. Webb Hayes, SON of ex-
President Hayes. When the Presidential
party appeared to take its place in the
procession, President Cleveland with Major
Mckinley on his left, leaned back in the
carriage with smile on his face. He
looked pleased as well as contented but
he did not return the salute of the
crowds on either side. When the first
cheer arose Major Mckinley was the one
TO raise his hat in Acknowledgements.
