Columbus, Ohio, January lo.-lrhis has
been the most exciting inauguration day
ever known in Columbus. Long before
noon the streets were thipnged with ex-
cnrsionists from the surrounding counties,
They poured in from every direction. AT
noon the railways estimated that there had
been $4,000 arrivals during the night and
the day Thirty excursion trains we're re
j ported in.
The Bushnell badges were In the ma
jority, MS the Hanna clubs were not booked
TO arrive until after noon, in time for the
mass convention. During the forenoon the
State house was surrounded by crowds
yelling for Bushnell, AS ii wus impossible
for the crowds to get inside the capitol
building the governor was called out into
the ground. where he addressed the multi
tudes. The frst delegation TO which the
governor responded was from his nome at
| Springfield, ard 1t Included hundreds OF
working men from Bnshnell's shop bear
ing written greetings OF confidence In him.
| These demonstrations continued until noon,
when Governor Bushnell was escorted TO
| the rotunda of the State house, where the
decorations hi floral designs and bunting
I were more elaborate than ever. The mem
| bers OF the supreme court, the legislature
and all other State officers, were provided
| With reserved seats and the crowds Occur
! pied all the space In windows, galleries
! and everywhere while the streets and the
! State house grounds were crowded with
| shcuters. A very small percentage could
gain admission TO the State house, but
when the cheers would be heard inside
| the echo was taken up on the outside and
! the air was filled with loud responses.
The Neil house is directly across High
street from the west entrance to the State
4 house and Senator Hanna witnessed the
| forenoon scenes in the capitol grounds
| from his rooms. but these demonstrations
did not interfere with the senatorial slur-
mishing.
| During the forenoon there were no casss
| of violence reported, although the noise
| was loud and continuous The exercises
| in the rotunda were according to the usual
| programme. The oath OF office was ad-
ministered by Chief Justice Burkctt, who
! was reelected ON the ticket last November
| with Bushnell. The governor was given
an unusual ovation when he first appeared
on the platform and again when he ap-
| peared to deliver his inaugural address.
| The inaugural address OF Governor
| Bushnell was short and contained no ref
! erence to the contest for the senaiorsnip'
| unless the following may be SO construed:
by so iegislatng and acting for the
people to secure the best results with the
| least possible friction, much can be done
to make the general respect for govern
! ment higher and more enduring. IL is
certain that our aim must be TO regulate
and conduct the matters committed TO our
charge so as to earn this tacit cotnmenda-
ton from the citizenship OF all degrees. An
appreciation of the task of the 1ificulf'es
to be encountered and of the necessity
for sincere and honest service, WIZ do
much in the aid OF those whose desire IL
is to deserve the good will OF their 'eiio"
men for faithful stewardship rendered.
Although the upexpired senatorship OF
Sherman ended March A 1922 Senator
Hanna was appointed last March to serve
only until the legislature in January, lsss,
as the governors appointee under the law
! can serve only until the legislature meets:
Hi is. therefore, held that Ohio has had
only enc senator in the past week, ana
win have only one until there Is an cleo
| ton for the short term from January, lSDs,
until March, 1893.
| AS Governor Bushnell was inaugurated
today for his second terip and h9d one
week ago sent an elaborate message TO
the legislature, his address was unusually
brief and without special reference to the
I existing scenes that surrounded him. The
governor was most loudly cheered al the
close of his address and the cheering con-
tinued as long as he was In sight.
| All who could get into "the push fol-
lowed him to the executive chamber TO
| congratulate, him. Arrangements were
| then made Mt once for the governor ana
his staff 10 proceed TO the grasdstand on
the north side OF the State house TO re-
| view the parade
| After the exercises In the rotunda and
the greetings to Bushnell the governor and
others repaired to the senate chamber,
'where Lieutenant Governor Jones and
other state officers qualified. The senaie
adj ourned without the governor making
the usual address to the senate. Some OF
the republican Members OF the legislature
did not occupy the seats reserved for them
at the Inauguration, Before the exercises
Concluded the clubs began arriving for the
mass convention.
| All Of these clubs aud the delegations
proceeded to the Neil house TO serenaie
and call on Senator Hanna. me street
