The Wilmington daily Republican. (Wilmington, Del.) 1890-1902, 1901-03-05
TUESDAY. MARCH S. 1901.
THE Delaware Legislature too

monies OF President Mckinley and
Vice President Theodore f. Roose-
welt. The members put up at Hotel
Lawrence and it was way out-ot-
sight hotel. 1t was like ali other
Washington hotels, full of guests.
Cots were at premium and even
room to spread them was wanted at
any old price. The sights on the
streets OF Washington were some
thing worth seeing and the crowds
kept on the continuous move from
early in the morning until late at
night, promenad:ng up and down
Pennsylvania avenue. There was
said to be seventy five thousand
soldiers in line. besides several
thousand more in the marching
clubs. The Inaugural parade will
long be remembered by those who
witnessed it. The crush was some
thing terrible and hundreds had
the breath almost squeezed out OF
them. The restaurant men and
hotel managers went OF the plan
that prices should all be raised and
raise them they did, putting on the
tariff in some cases double and in
nearly every case adding one.half
more on. They acted like band
of robbers and highway men. They
said they had harvest and they
intended to hold the public up for
all they could get out of it The
saloon MEN on Sunday sold on the
ely and received fancy prices for
their liquid relreshmeut. We can
truly say with all sincerity that
there is only one Washington and
New York in this country. All of
the arrangements tor the inaugu-
ration were better than ever before
and were well executed. As the
inauguration this time was 10 most
people more OF spectacle than
political event, the Importance OF
the good arrangements and the
good execution OF them was very
apparent. There we're over ole
hundred thousand strangers in the
city, making tremendous floating
population. The programme at the
Capitol. the procession and the ball
were all particularly well managed
and successful. The good order
maintained throughout, the beaut-
full effects OF the Court of Honor
in trout Of the White House. the ar
tstic stands and the unparalleled
decorations which even the rain
could not spoil, stood out above the
minor details Of comfort aud conve-
nience.
The first Inauguration OF the
Twentieth Century. with all OF lis
slgul ticance as suggested n the
inaugural addresses Of the Prcsi-
dent and Vice. Pres dent, will pass
into the memory OF quarter of
million people who were in Wash.
ington yesterday, as a remarkable
occasion in this city OF dramatic
events and brilliant specialties.
Congress adjourned promptly at -
O clock noon yesterday and the
President had finished SIX ming all
bills passed by Congress by ll.55
O'Clock and waa then ready TO 60
on with the inaugural ceremonies.
Is it not Just as necessary while
the Senatorial fight is still on and
not yet settled that there are other
positions under Republican control,
that if the party is defeated at the
next election, owing TO the ball
headed OF men who imagine that
they are the whole Republican
party Of Delaware aud stand out
Tor the defeat Of two United States
Senators, because one particular
man shall not be named for one OF
those positions. TWENTY-FIVE men
say they want J, Edward Addichs.
Seven men say I've Will vote for
any other man than Addicks, but
him we will not vote for. That we
would rather see two vacancies 10 |

Addicks should be one Of the Ncna. |
tors. Why not elect Mr. Addicks
and another good Republican. we
don 1 care who II the colleague Of !
Mr.. Addicks is superior 10 him.
then he would have the greater
part of the Federal patronage to be
distributed IN Delaware. This 5
