CHAPTER xXXIII.
BY FRANK G. CARPENTER.


THE 4th of March is over and
Grover Cleveland has been in
augurated as President of the
i United States. A hundred
thousand strangers have been in
Washington to witness the ceremonies,
and at least a million dollars have
been left in the Capital by them. The
day broke clear and sunny, with the
thermometer high enough to abolish
overcoats and cloaks, and tonight the
moon has contended with the fireworks
in a grand illuminary display.
No President has ever had a finer
day for his coming in than Cleveland,
no President has ever had so many
people and, so cold reception.
The majority of such days in the
past have been cold or rainy. 1t
showed when Monroe was sworn in;

of Grant, and at the swearing in OF
Polk; Lincoln also had rain and wind.

foot, though the skies cleared by noon
and the day afterward became pleas

across the east portico of the Capitol,
and the President, without an over
coat. there caught the cold which, 1t
is believed, hastened his death. Jack
son, Buchanan and Cleveland. have
had fine weather, and Cleveland bet
ter than any. They have all had
stormy administrations. however, and
Cleveland's will probably be the
stormiest of them all.
The crowd began to gather shortly
before daybreak, and as not over two
thousand could be accommodated in
the galleries of the Senate, there were
about one hundred thousand who were
not favored with tickets who stood
and gazed at the blank walls Of the
Capitol in a stupid way, trying to
imagine what was going on within
The Senate met at IL O'Clock, with
a beautifully dressed crowd of ladies
and gentlemen filling the four gal
leries, surrounding the great pit is
feet deep, in which the Vice Presi-
