INAUGURATION
OF
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND.
WASHINGTON, March 4.—Washing
ton entertains today 100,OOt strangers.
They have come in family parties,
squads and companies and legiments.
The hotels were filled a week ago, and
private boarding housed and dwellings
have since done what they could to
lodge the shelterless and feed the hun
gry.
Fifing and drumming and the march
ing of clubs and troops were the enliv
ening elements of the early forenoon,
while moving serenades, tendered to
populai political favorites, served to a
muse and iuterest the participants and
the crowds. The decorators and the
carpenters began ten days ago. and the
noise of their sawing and pounding and
the click ot their tack hammers has
been heard day and night ever since
down to the moment of the starting of
the procession.
A better day for the celebration of
any such event never dawned than was
to-day. Hundreds of people did not
go to bed last night at all, but content
ed themselves in walking the streets,
anxious for the dawning of day. Many
of them carried grip-sacks in hand,
while a few held their visiting clothes
in bandboxes At au ealy hour the
people began to fill the streets and
when the time for the formation of the
parade had arrived, the largest number
of people that this city has probably ev
er seen patiently awaited the order to
march. All the stands that had been
erected for the occasion were packed.
The house tops were lined with people,
and every available place from which a
glimpse of the procession could be ob
tained was occupied. The profuse dec
orations fluttered in the morning breeze
while contentment sat enthroned upon
every face. Precisely at ID o'clock the
carriage containing President Arthur,
President-elect Cleveland, Senators
Sherman and Ransom, followed by a
carriage containing the vice president
elect and Senator Hawley, were diiven
to the capitol, and the see ies along the
route baflles description The presi
dential party was escorted by the First
division alone.
The presidential party entered the
capitol through the basement passage
way. Mr. Cleveland went by the pri
vate door to the senate, and proceeded
immediately to the vice president's
room, where President Arthur engaged
in signing measures passed by con
gress.
Later,Vice-President Hendricks was
escorted into the senate chamber, and
without delay, but with the solemnity
and decorum befitting the occasion,the
oath was administered to him by the
president pro tempore. Mr. Hendricks
took the gavel and called the senate to
order in extra session. The new sena
tors were then sworn in.
The Ceremony of Inauguration.
Precisely at 12.30 p. m. the head of
the procession appeared, coming out of
the main east door of the capitol.
President Arthur stepped to the front
of the platform, followed by the presi
dent-elect, Chief Justice YVaile and the
sergeant-at-arms of the senate. All
uncovered a9 they stood facing the
crowd, and the vast assemblage cheer
ed again and again for several miuutes.
The persons who were to assist at the
ceremonies were seated on the platform
in the following order :
Chief Justice Waite and Senator
Sherman sat with the president-e
--lect,
The committee on arrangements oc
cupied seats immediately to the right
of the president-elect,ex-presidents and
ex-vice-presidents and associate justic
es of the supreme court.
The yice-pres'dent, secretary and
members of the senate occupied seats
further on the right.
The diplomatic corps occupied seats
on the left of the president and the
heads of departments. The retired i
general of the array, the lieutenant- 1
general of the army, the admiral of the
nayy, and the officers of the army and
navy who had by name received the
thanks of congress, governors and ex
governors of states and ex-merabers of
the senate, took their seats just behind
the president.
At. 12.40 p. m. the president-elect a
rose and began delivering his inaugural
address.
The Inaugural Address.
Fellow Citizens : In the presence of
this vast assemblage of my countrymen
I am about to supplement and seal, by
the oath which I shall take, the mani
festation of the will of a great and free
people. In the exercise of their pow
er and right of self-government they
have committed to one of their fellow
citizens a supreme and sacred trust,and
he here consecrates himself to their ser
vice.
This impressive ceremony adds little
to the solemn sense of responsibility
* with which I contemplate the duty I
A PAPER FOR THE HOME CIRCLE.
▼
ow.' to all the people f the land. Noth
ing can relieve me from anxiety lest by
any act of mine their interests may suf
fer, and nothing is needed to strength
en my resolution to engage every facul
ty and effort in the promotion of their
welfare.
Amid the din of party strife the j>eo
plo's choice was made ; but its attend
ant circumstances have demonstrated
anew the strength and safety of a gov
ernment of the people. In each suc
ceeding year it more clearly appears
that our democratic principle needs no
apology, and that in its fearless and
faithful application is to bo found the
surest guaranty of good government.
But the best results in the operation of
a government wherein every citizen has
a share, largely depend upon a proper
limitation of purely partisan zeal and
effort, and a correct appreciation of the
time when the heat of the partisan
should be merged iu the patriotism of
the citizen.
To-day the executive branch of the
government is transferred to new keep
ing. But this is still the government
of all the people, and it should be none
the less an object of affectionate solici
tude. At this hour the animosities*bf
political strife, the bitterness of parti
san defeat and the exultation of parti
san triumph should be supplanted by
an ungrudging acquiescence in the pop
ular will and a sober, conscientious
concern for the general weal. More
over, if from this hour we cheerfully
and honestly abandon all sectional pre
judice and distrust,and determine with
manly confidence in one another to
work out harmoniously the achieve
ments of our national destiny, we shall
deserve to realize all the benefits which
our happy form of government can be
stow.
On this auspicious occasion we may
well renew the pledge of our
DEVOTION TO TIIE CONSTITUTION,
which, launched bj the founders of the
republic,and consecrated by their pray
ers and patriotic devotion, has for al
most a century oorne the hopes and as
pirations of a great people through
prosperity and peace, and through the
shock of foreign contliotsand the perils
of domestric strife and vicissitudes.
By the father of his country our con
stitution was commended for adoption
as "the result of a spirit of amity and
mutual concession."ln that same spirit
it should be administered, In order to
promote the lasting welfare of the conn
try and to secuie the full measure of its
priceless benefits to us and totliose who
will succeed to the blessings of our na
tional life. The large variety of diverse
and corapetiug interests subject to fed
eral control, persistently seeking the
recognition of their claims, need give
us no fenr that "the greatest good to
the greatest number" will fail to be ac
complished, if in the halis ot national
legislation that spirit uf aunty and mu
tal concession shall prevail in which
tlie constitution had its birth If this
involves the surrender or'pofttponement
of private interests, and the abandon
ment of local advantages,compensation
will be found in the assurance that
thus the common interest is subserved
and the general welfare advanced.
THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND THE
STATES.
In the discharge ot my official duty I
shall endeavor to he guided by a just
and unstrained construction of the con
stitution, a careful observance of the
distinction between the powers granted
to the federal government and those re
served to the states, or to the people,
and by a cautious appreciation of those
functions which, by the constitution
and laws, have been especially assigned
to the executive branch of the govern
ment.
But he who takes the oath to-day to
preserve, protect and defend the con
stitution of the United States only as
sumes the solemn obligation which ev
ery patriotic citizen, on the farm .in the
workshop, in the busy marts of trade,
everywhere should share with him.
THE VOICE OF TIIE PEOPLE.
The constitution which perscribes
his oath, my countrymen, is yours ; the
government you have chosen him to ad
minister for a time, is yours ; the suf
frage which executes the will of free
men is yours; the laws and the entire
scheme of our civil rule, from the town
meeting to the state capitals and the
national cpaital, is yours. Your every
voter, as surely as your chief magis
trate under the same high sanction,
though in a different'sphere, exercises a
public Nor is this all. Every
citizen owes to the country a vigilant
watch and close scrutiny of its public
servants, and a fair and reasonable es
timate of their fidelity and usefHlness.
Thus is the people's will impressed up
on the whole framework ot our civil
policy—municipal, state and federal—
and this is the price of our liberty and
the inspiration of our faith in the re
public.
ECONOMY AND EXTRAVAGANCE.
It is the duty of those serving the
people in public place closely to limit
public expenditures to the actual need
of the government economically ad
ministered, because this bounds the
right of the government to exact trib
ute from the earnings of labor or the
property of the citizen, and because
public extravagance begets extrava
gance among the people. We should
never be ashamed of the sublicity and
prudential which are best
suited in the operation of a republican
form of government, and most compa
tible with the mission of the American
people. Those who are elected, for a
limited time, to manage public affairs,
are still of the people,and may do much
by their example to encourage, consist
ently with the dignity of their official
functions, that plain way of life which
among their fellow citizens aids integ
rity and promotes thrift and prosperi
ty.
TIIE POLICY OF PEACE.
The genius of our institutions, the
needs of our people in their home life,
ana the attention which is demanded
for the settlement and developement of
the resources of our vast territority,
dictate the scrupulous avoidance of any
departure from that foreign policy com
mended by the history, the traditions
and the prosperity ot our republic. It
is the policy of independence, favored
by our position and defended by our
known love of justice and by our pow
er. It is the policy of peace, suitable to
our interests. It is the policy of neu
trality, rejecting any share in foreign
broils and ambitions upon other conti-
nents, and repelling their Instrusion
here. It is the policy of Monroe and of
Washington and Jefferson — 44 Peace,
commerce and frendship to all nations;
entangling alliances with none."
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
A duo legard for the interests and
prosperity of all the people demands
that our finances shall be established
upon such a sound and sensible basis
as shall secure the safety and confidence
of business interests and make tht
wages of labor sure and steady, and
that our system of revenue shall be so
adjusted as to relieve the people from
unnecessary taxation, having a due re
gard to the intetests of capital invest
ed and workingmen employed in Amer
ican industries, and preventing the ac
cumulation of a surplus in the treasury
to tempt extravagance and waste.
TIIE PUBLIC DOMAIN.
Care for the property of the nation,
and for the needs of future settlers, re
quire that the public domain should be
protected from purloining schemes and
unlawful occupation.
HUMANITY AND MORALITY.
The conscience of the people demands
that the Indians within our boundaries
shall be fairly and honestly treated as
wards of the government, and their ed
ucation and civilization promoted,with
a view to their ultimate citizenship,and
that polygamy in the territories.destruc
tive to the family relation and offensive
to the moral sense of the civilized
world, shall be repressed. The laws
should be rigidly enforced which pro
hibit the immigration of a servile class
to compete with American labor, with
no intention of acquiring citizenship
and bringing with them and retaining
habits and customs repugnant to our
civilization.
BUSINESS PRINCIPLES IN PUBLIC AF
FAIRS.
The people demand reform iu the ad
ministration of the government, and
the application of business principles
to public affairs. As a means to this
end civil service refoim should be in
good faith enforced. Our citizens have
the right to protection from the incom
petency of public employes who hold
their places solely as the reward of par
tisan service, and from the corrupting
influence of those who promise, and the
vicious methods of those who expect,
such'.rewards. And those who worthily
seek public employment hayc the right
to insist that merit and competency
shall be recognized instead of party
subserviency or the surrender cf hou
est political belief.
THE RIGHTS OF THE FREEDMEN.
In the administration of a govern
ment pledged to do equal and exact jus
tice to all men, there should be no pre
text for anxiety touching the protection
of the fieedmen in their rights or tlieir
security in the enjoyment of their priv
ileges under the constitution and its a
mendments. All discussion as to their
fitness for the place accorded to them
is idle and unprofitable, except as it
suggests the necessity for other im
provement. The fact that they are cit
izens entitles them to all the rights due
to that relation and chargt s them with
all its duties, obligations and responsi
bilities.
PRACTICAL AND INDUSTRIOUS AI'PLI-
CATION.
These topics, and the constant and
ever-varying wants of an active and en
terprising population, may well receive
the attention and the patriotic endeav
or of all who make and execute the fed
eral law. Our duties are practical, and
call for industrious application, an in
telligent perception of the claims of
public office, and, above all, a firm de
termination, by united action,to secure
to all the people of the land the full
benefits of the best form of government
ever vouchsafed to man. And let us
not trust to human effort alone ; but,
humbly acknowledge the power and
goodness of Almighty God, who pre
sides ovei the destiny of nations, and
who has at all times been revealed in
our country's history, let us invoke His
aid and His blessing upon our labois.
Mr. Cleveland turning to the chief
justice and bowing to him, said ; "I
am now prepared to take the oath pre
scribed by law."
As the chief justice rose to adminis
ter the oath the vast assemblage cheer
ed again. The president-elect stood
facing the chief justice,with the crowd
on his right. Chief Clerk McKeuny,of
the supreme court, stood just to the
side of Mr. Cleveland and held the Bi
ble upon which the oath was adminis
tered, the president-elect stood holding
it with his right hand. The Bible used
is a small morocco-coyered, gilt-edge
volume, pretty well worn. It is the
Bible which Mr. Cleveland's mother
gave him when he hft home as a young
man,and at his special request the com
mittee of arrangements had it in readi
ness for the ceremony. The crowd pre
served perfect quiet as the impressive
ceremony of administering the oath
was taking place, but when it was con
cluded, and after President Cleveland
laid down the Bible after reverently
kissing it, and shook hands with the
chief justice, who was the first to con
gratulate him, the cheering was long
and loud.
The Parade.
% At the conclusion of the ceremonies
at the capitol the procession escorted
the presidential party back to the
White House. The two carriages
which contained President Cleveland
and ex-President Arthur, Vice Presi
dent Hendricks, and the senate com
mittee of arrangements took positions
in the first division,and the line started
The greatest enthusiasm was manifest
ed all along the route. When'the head
of the line reached Fifteenth street, a
halt was made, and tlie president and
ex-president left the line and proceed
ed byway of Executive avenue to the
White House, which the party entered
by the rear door. The vice president's
carriage proceeded up Fifteenth street
nearly to New York avenue before

leaving the line. II end ricks, however,
soon joined the president at the White
House, and when everything was in
readiness the entire party proceeded to
the reviewing stand on Pennsylvania
avenue, directly in front of the mansion
and the order was given for the line to
move. The reviewing stand had been
profusely decorated with flags and bun
ting, and presented a beautiful appear
ance. The presideut and ex-president
were placed on a project platform,
which was covered with flags so as to
make a handsome canopy, and at the
same time so arranged as to afford a
clear and unobstructed view of the pro
cession. Arm chairs were placed upon
it for their use, but the president re
mained Btanding during the entire re
view. Ex-President Arthur sat ou his
left, Vice President Hendricks and the
members of his household occupied
Reats to the right and just back of the
president, while the families and
friends of the presideut and ex-presi
dent sat in the front row on the right.
Among those who occupied seats on
the presidential stand were Secretaries
Frelinghuysen, McCullocb, Liucolu,
Chandler and Teller, Postmaster-Gen
eral Hatton, Lieutenant-General Sheri
dan. Major-General Hancock, Messrs.
Manning, of New York ; Vilas, of
Wisconsin ; Eudicott, of Massachu
setts, and Seuators Bayard and Gar
land, Colonel Lamont, Mayor Grace
ex-May or Cooper, of New York, and a
large number of other prominent per
sons, including many officers of the ar
my and navy and members of the di
plomatic corps. There were a great
number of ladies on the grand stand,
and their rich costumes added brillian
cy to the scene. It is estimated that
there were on the stand about one
thousand persons.
It was 2.10 o'clock wheu the presi
dent, escorted by Colonel Berrett, of
the inaugural coram ittee,took his place
at the front of the stand and the head
of the procession started from the cor
ner of Fifteentll street to pass in re
view. The president's appearance was
the signal for a great shout from the
concourse of people who had gathered
in front of the stand and filled the
streets for several hundred yards both
ways. The president quietly bowed his
acknowledgements.
A good deal of confusion was caused
in the vicinity of the grand stand by
the efforts of the police t<r clear the
street for the approaching procession.
The work was finally accomplished but
witk great difficulty, mounted police
moving into the dense throng of spec
tators and driving them back with
their batoons. The review from the
presidential stand was a grand sight
and it was the generally expressed o
pinion, that no moie brilliant pageant
had ever been witnessed in this coun
try. All the organizations gave a
marching salute as they passed the
graud stand and the president at first
recognized tin complimeut by raising
his hat to every separate command,
but the length of the line and the chill
iness of the breeze which sprang up
compelled him before the second divis
ion passed to keep his head covered and
in most cases to limit his acknowledge
ments to a slight bow. In view of
the fact that the procession was three
hours in passing it is not a matter for
surprise that the president had to aban
don his intention of standing with his
head uncovered through out the re
view.
The civic organizations made a very
fine display, and were highly compli
mented by the presidential party. Ta
ken all in all, as a combined military
and civic display, the processlou was
undoubtedly the largest and finest ever
seen in Washington. The number of
men who marched past the presidential
stand is estimated at 25,000.
Vice-President Hendricks felt some
what fatigued,and returned to the exe
cutive mansion before aU the civic or
ganizations had passed. Many other
persons also left the stand before the
parade was over because of weariness.
At the conclusion of the review the
president and party proceeded to the
dining room of the White House,
where they partook of 'lunch prepared
for them by ex-President Arthur.
There were present, besides the mem
bers ot ex-President Arthur's cabinet,
Vilas, Manning, Lamont, and several
others.
The Inaugural Ball.
The brilliant finale of the inaugura
tion ceremonies was the ball to-night.
It put the cap sheaf of gaiety on the
more formal and serious though grand
ceremonial which preceded it. Beauty
lent it's aid to crown the triumph of
tho incoming administration, and amid
the light festivities of the ball room,
the celebration of the day came to a
close.
The daucing hall was ablaze of light
and color, lighted by sixty Siemens of
gas burners, cf five hundred caodle
power each, suspended from a roof
whose peak is lost to sight, ninety feet

half an hour he held a formal reception

There was no informal reception Ly
President Cleveland, but a large num
ber ol persgtas pressed about bim, and
some of th£ gentlemen standing in tbe
immediate vicinity made the presenta
tion. After half an hour speut in this
manner the room became overcrowded,
and the president and vice president,
the former escorted by Senator Pendle
ton and Richard T. Merrick, aud the
latter by Representative Elton and S.
V. Niles, left the room and made the
rounti of the ball room, the baud play
ing "Hail to the Chief" during the
time occupied in walking around the
room. After the presidential party
had left the room the crowd continued
to pour into it through doors, unaware
that Cleveland had left.
The scene in the ball-room at this
time was exceedingly brilliant The
large hall was completely filled with a
constantly moving crowd, numbering
several thousauds, while from the bal
conies thousands more looked down up
on the scene. The bright toilets of the
ladies,the flowers and glittering jewels,
the decorations atfd lights? were the
prominent features of a scene long to
be remeuibared.
Extraordinary Fireworks.
To-night, about half past eight, just
as the immense crowd was returning
from the exhibition of fireworks on the
White Lot, the Flambeau club, of To
peka, Kansas, came marching in regu
lai open order down Fifteenth strest,
between the Corcorau building and the
treasury departmeut in a perfect torna
do of fire, accompanied by an incessant
volley of explosions and the continuous
hissing and roar of ascending rockets.
Every member of the club carrying o
ver his shoulders a capacious white bag
filled with rockets, roman caudles, red
and green fire, Catherine, wheels, torpe
dues, bombs, and fireworks of every
conceivable desciiption, which were
lighted on portable frames,or discharg
ed from sheet iron tubes, with such
never slackening rapidity as to literally
fill the streets with a hurricane of firery
projectiles and a deuse cloud of smoke,
through which could be only dimly
seen the white spectral uniforms of the
club.
The marching was perfect in time
and regularity, the incessant discharge
of fireworks not beiug allowed to inter
fere in the least degree with the preci
sion of movement. People in vehicles
fled in terror before the advancing col
umn of smoke and flame, which was
headed by two or three huge blazing
wheels, aud from every part of which
burst fire and explosions.
The club was constantly and skilfully
supplied with fresh ammunition from a
large wagon which followed it, aud as
it wheeled from Fifteenth street into
Pennsylvania avenne in the glare of red
tires, amid the shouts of a vast multi
tude of spectators, it suggested a mov
ing British square attacked ou all sides
at night, aud defending itself with
musketry, bombs, rockets and hand
greuades. It was one of the most strik
ing features of tne whole pyrotechnical
display, and the club- was followed
down the avenue by at least 10,000 peo
ple.
