claring that the greatest hindrance to

appropriate for such a day, gloriously
beautiful. No previous Inauguration
equalled II in careful preparations. In
every feature outside the Capitol juris-
diction, except the visiting organiza-
lions. 1t is Washington affair. It
Is the only national demonstration in
which the unrepresented residents of
the capital are the leaders and in sole
control. For many years the inaugural
committees have been, in the main, the
same body. made up about equally of
Democrats and Republicans. It has al

equal enthusiasm on the part of both.
This Is fair exponent of the thorough.

As the presidential party emerged
from the Capitol to the stand at the
east front where the Inauguration was
to take place the waiting thousands
broke out into tremendous cheers Of
welcome. which rolled and reared while
the procession, followed by the &C.
cupants of the galleries. poured over
the immense platform and crowded into
Its seats. This general acclaim greeted
the president-to-be with a shout which
was the climax of its enthusiasm. and
as Major Mckinley advanced to de-
liver his inaugural these surging waves
OF sound gave way to still more i'm
pressive silence. He looked out upon a
wonderful scene. The steps, the bal
comics and every projection of the Capi-
tol front and the dome were crowded.
1t was as II that grand facade was
