Inauguration Arrangements.

Gen. Horace Porter reports that the COM
mittee upon the Inauguration parade were
very sorry to find that the state of Vermont
had made no arrangements to send troops to
participate in the inauguration parade, and
were exceedingly DESTROYS that battalion of
two or four companies, with band, might
represent Vermont. The committee say that
Vermont was the banner state in the McKin-
ley campaign, leading the forces, and it would
be too bad not to have a representative of the
National Guard of the Green Mountain state
as escort to her governor on this occasion.
The matter was carefully discussed and
brought to the attention of DR.. William
Seward Webb, who offered five Wagner cars
free of cost to carry the troops to Washing
ton.
The following Vermonters have been ap-
pointed to serve upon the staff OF Gen. Hor-
ace Porter, chief marshal of the Inauguration
parade: Gen. William w. Henry, Major
James B. Scully, Capt. Frank r. Wells, Bur-
ington; ex-Lieut. Gov. q. NJ. Mansur, Island
Pond; Gen. julius j. Estey, Brattleboro !;
