the Day and Nigel
Following is a detailed account of the
ceremonies connected with the Inauguration
of drover Cleveland and Thomas A. Hen
dricks as rresldcnt and Vlco-President of the
United States:
President-elect Cleveland proceeded to
Washington from Albany quietly and without
any display. Ho was accompanied by Private
Secretary Lamont and a few friends and rela
Uvea. Upon arrival at Washington early in
the morning of March 3 he was driven at
once to his quarters In the Arlington hotel.
During tho day he received many visitors,
including Vice-President-elect Hendricks, and
held various conferences with prominent
Democrats. At 2 o'clock, r. M., Mr. Cleve
land and Colonel lamont enteral a carriage
and drove to the white House, where a for
mal call was made upon President Arthur.
Mr. Arthurs invitation to dine had been
previoutly declined by Mr. Cleveland, but tho
lorinnl call wasmade very pleasant by tho
lTesldcnt's courteous reception of his sue
cossor. At half past 0 o'clock in the pvenlng
President Arthur made the customary return
can on the i'resident-elect at tbe Arlington.
After his return from the White Houso in tho
afternoon Mr. Cleveland received more vis
itors. He dined at 7 r. Mi, and durlnetho
rest of the-evening and until his retirement
received numerous callers.
Next morning the President-elf arose
early and prepared himself for the day's or
deal. The President brcakfaitod early, and
is reports to have preserved the same impas
sive demeanor which has characterized ull
his public life. If there was any one to bo dis
turbed by tho events of tho day, it did not
seem probable that it would be Grover Cleve
land. Uusy Colonel Lamont was engaged in
managing the details of the preparations.
At the White House tho retiring President
was not loss busy. The perbonal cilocts of
Qenoral Arthur had been carefully packed.
juuu)- ui mo i-u&us uuu turentiy jeit me man
sion. Those which remained wore labeled for
their new destination. Now York city.
Much of the city did not go to bod at all.
All of it arose early in the morning. Tho
nuWBboys at the breakof duy were yelling the
record of the excitements and fatigues of the
day before and the programme of tho bust
ling festivities of the day that was to come.
Bands of inusio were playing flno selections
from the hotel areas to listening crowd.
Tho vacant spaces along tho entire Pennsyl
vania avenue front had been turned into ono
vast lumber yard, and tier upon tier of seats
built by speculators wereroudv to accommo
date tho expected multitudes n't t'i psr head.
Thrifty trades wople had also obtained
their license i, and in show windows anil
Un balconies above the heads of the pooplo
everywhere were improvised stagings, and
seats none too securely protected from fall
ing and not protected at all from tho weather
to accommodate friends or to fill a yawning
till b
TIXE WEATHER AND CECOHATIONS.
The weatlior was a proof of what is called
"Cleveland's luck." It was the most beauti
ful day of the year, at warm as a Northern
day in May. The sky was cloudless, and
there was only wind enough to move gently
tho miles of Hags anil bunting with which the
line of march w as docked. The broad avenue
was swept clean from curb to curt, and tho
inarching troopii moved along the asphalt
pavement with as little discomfort as in the
corridors of the groat buildings.
Out in tbe clour air. from many quarters
sounded early tho bugle calls, summoning the
troops to their rendezvous Thousands of
people strolled along tho lino of march, to
view the decorations, and thousands more
were early on their way to Capitol Hill, hop
ing to gain a glimpse, at least, of the ceremo
nies by which the new President is inducted
into olllco. Tho great east steps of the Capi
tol were covered with tho huge staging.
The building ntthe cornerof Twelfth street
and Pennsylvania avenue, occupied by tho
Pension Bureau, was pel haps the most elab
orately decorated structure in the city, All
the hotels were also magnificently decorated.
The government buildings on tho lino of
march were gay w ith bunting. Large Amer
ican flags encompassed tho gray columns of
the' treasury, and long lines of pennants of
every hue ran across the granite front of tho
great building. Handsome rosettes and de
signs in parti-colored bunting adorned the
state, war and navy department buildings.
Before U o'clock fully 3,000 people had con
gregated on the broad plaza to the oast of
the capltol, and on tho terrace to the west,
The appi caches to the building, both for car
riages and jiedestrians, were Mack with
strangers going to and from the gi eat struc
ture. On the streets north of the building
military companies and societies were pre
paring to inarch to the center of the city.
Hundreds of people who had arrival on the
early morning trains, lined the thorough
fares. Members of political organizations,
who hail fouud quarters for the previous
night in the smaller hotels, stood gossiping on
the subjects of the day, Their conspicuous
lilt-h hats nnd overcoats of light or dark ma
terial and the gaudy badges of red, blue or
nurnln kilts were oblects of curiosity to tho
uninitiated stronger. An occasional rooster
design ornamented tho head coverings.
THE OLD ADMINISTRATION AND THE NEW,
The members of tho general Inauguration
committee met at the Arlington before 10
o'clock and placed their services at the dis
posal of the rreswent-eiect, rresiuenv r.
thur breakfasted with his family at the White

to tho house to disturb his privacy except

had a short interview with the PrcBldent,and
soon after Senator Hawloy left and proceeded

proceeded to the White House. They occu
pied n handsome opan barouche, Unci with
crimson satin, ami drawn by four beautiful
wnno norses. ino equipage was mreu
for the occasion. The Vice-President was
heartily cheered along tho short rido to tho
huiio liouso. j use as uo was en
tering tho grounds President Arthur's car
riage containing Senators Sherman and Han
som started to tho Arllnnton for the Presi
dent-elect. This carriage was also an open
barouche. It was drawn bv four spanking
bays from tho President's stablos. Tho boats
were covered with toft heavy black andwhito
buftalo robes. Tho senatorial cominlttoo were
ushered Into tho presenco of tho President

lington, nnd nfter n short delay tho thrco con
tlcmeu appeared at tho south entrnnco of the
notel, tooK tlieir seats in tno carriage, ana
were rapidly driven to tho Whlto House.
Marshal McMlchael met the party at tho
White House portico, anil escorted tno President-elect
into tho presenco of tho Prcsldont.
Tho Presldont-elect was greeted with cheers,
and waving of handkerchiefs as ho drove
along Sixteenth street from the hotel. He
kent his hat raised in recognition of the com
pliment. While tbe party wero at the Whlto
Houw, the chief marshal of tho procession
and his aids ran into the grounds, and uotilled
tue 1 resident-elect mat tue procession was
ready to start.
THE rilOCESSION.
It was rrccls:lv at tho hour set. 10:30
o'clock, that tho nitsiJontlnl nartv entered
tho carriages and took the position assigned
to them in the line. The party entered their
carriages as follows: In Prcsldont Arthur s
enrriace. President Arthur with President
elect Clevoland on his left, Senator Sherman
lacing rresiuent ANuur, ana senator iian
som on his richt f nciutr the President-elect.
Tho second carriage contained the Vice-President-elect,
with Senator Ilawley on his left.
As tho carriases drovo out of the cates and
entered the line, the occupants were grcetod
with tho wildest enthusiasm, men shouting,
women screaming and waving their handker
chiefs, and all teemed carried away with the
excitement of tho moment. The President
and Vico-Prosldent-elect came in for the
principal share, of the enthusiasm, and each
of them raised his hat and bowed right and
left to the crond, which lined both sidos of
tho carriageway. The First Division of tho
procession, escorting the President-elect, then
began its march to tho CapltoL
The scenes on Pennsylvania avenue almost
baQled description. A great soa of upturned
faces hid tho sidewalks. Above It the stately
buildings were covered witli cloths of gorge
ous colors arranged in patriotic doviccs; the
soft, springlike brcezo lazily stirred tho innu
merable Hags and streamers; spocial aides
in brilliant uniforms clashocl hither and
thither, lending animation to tho scone. Tho
police regulations were perfect, and the broad
avenue, with Its hard smooth surface, was
completely cleared of everything that nilht
obstruct tho juigeant.
The United States regular troops came first,
thus departing somewhat from theonlerof
me programme, witu ino prooaDie
object of insuring n clear marching
space. Their ranks extended clear
across the avenue, and pi-esonttsl n most Im
posing appearance. 1110 uniteil btales Ala-
rino corps, with its inngniuccnt bantl, aug
mented for tho occasion, followed the artil
lery battalions. This section of the proces
slon proceeded as far as the south front of
tho treasury department, and then linked
and camo to parnde rest, in order to aUord
opportunity for the presidential party to fall
into lino, when tho march was resumed,
Tho President's eljgant carriage was pro
ceded by Oencral Slocum, tliechiof marshal,
und his stufr, and a troop of United States
cavary. Surrounding the carriage were a
dozen mounted policemen. The party re
coWed an ovation all along tha lino of march.
Men cheered, women waved their handker
chiefs and clapped tlieir hands and tho great
est enthusiasm was evinced by tho great
throng. President-elect Cleveland kept his
silk hat in hand bowed to
the richt and left as the carrlace
relied slowly along. Tho samo reception
was accorded tne vice-rresiiieiit-eiccr, wnose
carriage followed. Next came tbe National
Democratic committee and the Inaugural
committee In carriages, followed by tho dis
trict militia, headed by the Washington
Light infantry. A number of colored militia
formed part of tLe first division, nnd pre
sented a highly creditable appearance. The
local divisions of the Grand Army of the no
public closed the escorting division. These
movements were executed with a most com
mendable promptness.
IN THE SENATE CHAM11E3.
By 10:30 a. it. tho officials had found time
to arrange the Senate chamber to accommo
date tbe distinguished guests. In tho area
facing the desk of the Vice-President a row
of morocco-covered sofas had lieen placed in
a semi circle on tho one side for tho supremo
court, on tho other for the cnbiuot and other
noted persons. Two largo arm-chairs of tl e
samo set were placed immediately in front i f
tliu desk for tho President und Vico-Pre..
dent. Between the seats of each Senator
new oak cane-seated chairs had bjen placed.
iiaci ui we K.-riiiui!ttiii, ht-uis every men ul
space was tilled with chairs ot various shapes,
flzes and color. There was not an inch of
room, snve a very few narrow aisles, that 1
was not covered by chairs. Vet they wero i
not enough to accommodate the vast crowd.
The floor of the Senate was occupied at an
early hour by uistmguistieu guests. tno
Senators were crowded in a compact spacont
tho left ot tho presiding olllcer. Tho pro
ceedings possessed little interest to them. The
crisis was over; thew.rk was nearly done;
only details remained to bo arranged. The
clerks droned oat the tit es of tho bills. Tho
secretaries, fagged with two continuous
nights ot labor, announced the messages from
the House with a voice so lanky that It could
not bo heard.
At llsSO A. it.. General Hancock in full
uniform entered and was greeted with ap
plause from the galleries, General Sheridan
followed in full uniform.
At 11:45 the diplomatic corps entered in
full uniform.
A tew minutes later there was a ripple ot
laughter through the chamber. The venera
ble doorkeeper, Mr, Ilassett, mounted a stool,
and by means of n ciuio turned back the
hands of the clock eight minutes. At 11:41)
(by the time mails by tlie, doorkeeper) the
President's secretary announced a ''message
from tho President." Tbe message announced
tho appointment of General tlraut to the re
tired list. Although executive business, con
sent was obtained to act upon the nomination,
and by the unanimous vote of the Senate, and
amid lou 1 applauso from the floor and the
galleries. General tirant In tho hearing ot all
the people wns connniiud as a General of tho
United States army on tho retire! list. A
minute later another message was received
announcing that the President had no fur
ther business to communicate. Thus the
nomination ot General Urunt was President
Arthur's last ofllclal act.
At 11:35 the United States supreme court
entered in their sable robes of office. At 11 i40
President Arthur appeared at the Senate
door, accompsnted by the committe) of ar
rangements, and for tbe last time was an
nounced as "The President ot the United
rnEHIDENT OIlOVEIl CLEVELAND.
States." He was seated with his back to tho
presiding officer. He woro a Prlnco Albert
coat, closely buttoned, without his usual
boutonniorre, nnd carried his hat 1 n his hand.
At 1 1 ;4 the President-elect was announced.
The great nudienco arose, and there was tre
mendous applnuse. Mr. Cleveland, visibly
auocica, uowcu gracoinuy tnree limes.
THE OATH Of THE VICE-FIIESIDENT.
Mr. Hendilcks. tho Vice-President-elect,
was escorted into tho chainlier, and without
delay, but with tho solemnity and decorum
befitting tho occasion, tho oath was adminis
tered to him by tho Presldont pro tempore.
Mr. Edmunds now turned to tho front nnd
sad:
"Senators : Wo now close another epoch

stitution, One brief period ef our national
existence nas, oy ine exertion ot me co-ordinated

litical government to an established and se
cure triumph. I think I may safely say for

security of all the people of our country. But
perhaps it may not bo improper for mo to say

"The Chair has hoard with deen sensibility

may have done) wounded tin foillngs of any
Senator or olllcer of the Senate, ho can truly
say that ho has not intentionally given of
fence to any one, and in closing this session
of the Senate he assures every Senator,
whether retiring or continuing in public
duty, that ho wishes for him every friendly
good wish, and hopes that he may long en
joy all the happiness that can bo realized by
citizen or Benaior. lie now uociarcs tno
Senate adjourned without day."

the great lawns wero tilled, and roots of sur
rounding dwellings we're covered. On the
roof ot the capltol homo two or thrco hundred
men and lioys had congregated. In the ap
proaching avenues and streets military com
panies and society organizations were massed
In columns forming brilliant vistas as far as
the eye could reach. On elevated stands en
terprising photographers had elevated their
instruments to erH)tuato in photographic
designs the assembly on tho stand and the sea
of huts and faces that moved continually
llk- the waves of the ocean.
Tills immense throng was variously esti
mated ns to numbers. lTCsldcnt Arthur said
it was 1 'simply immense; the greatest crowd
I ever saw." Senator Hawloy, as he looked
at it, said lie thought itnumbered about 150,
000 tioople, While waiting for the arrival of
the Prpsldent-eloct some one would occasion
ally venture to the front of tbe platform.

THE INAUGURAL.
President Cleveland's Address on'
Taking OIHcc.
Various Topics of National Interest'
Discussed,
Th9 following Is President Clorcland's lnangnral
address In full as delivered!
Feu-ow-Citiiens In the presence of trls ast
assemblage of my countrymen I am about to sup
plement and seal by tho oath which 1 shall take

goTernraent, they havo committed to one of their

This ImpressUo ceremony addsllttloto tho sol
emn sense of responsibility with which I contem
plate tho duty I owe to all tho people of tho land;
nothing can relievo me of auxlety lest by any act
of mine their Interests may stiller, and nothing Is
needed to strenmen my tesomuon m uiko
every faculty and effort In tbo promotion of their
welfare. , . , ,!
o-dav tbe executive orancn or me government,-
mnaforrnil tn new keptiln''. Bllt tills IS Still tb0
government ot all the people, and It should bo nono
llielessan object ot affectionate solicitude. At
this hour the animosities of political stnte, the bit
terness of partisan detcot an J tbe exultation or
partisan triumph should be supplanted by an un
grudging acquiescence In the popular will, and a
sober, conscientious concern for the uencral weal.
Moreover, If, from this hour w o cheerfully and hon
estly abandon all sectional prejudice nnd distrust
ana aeiermine, wun maniy cunimcnto m
another, to work out harmoniously the achieve
ments of our national destiny, we shall desenoto
realize all the benc.lls which our happy form of
government can bestow.
On this auspicious occasion wo may well renew
the pledge of our devotion to the Constitution,
which, launched by tho founders ot tho republic
and consecrated by their prayers and patriotic de
motion, has for almost a century born th hopes
and the aspirations ot a great peoplo through proa,
perlty and peace, and through tho shock of foreign
conflicts tn 1 tne perils ot domestic strife and i
clssltudca. ,
By the father of his country our Constitution was
commcndid for adoption as "tho result of a spirit
ot amity and mntual coneo-slon." In that same
spirit it should bo administered, In order to pro
mote the lasting welfare of the country and (u se
cure the full measure ot Its priceless b.-nellts to us
and to thoso who will succeed to tho blessings of
our national life. The largo varloty of dherse
and competing Interests subject to Federal con
trol, persistently seeking thj recognition of their
claims, need give o no feirs that "tho greatest
good to the greatest number " will fall to be accom
plished. If in the hills of national legislation that
spirit of amity and mutual concession shall prevail
In which the Constitution had Its birth. If this In
volves the surrendir or postponement of private
interests and the abandonment of loeal advantaitea,
compensation will bo found In the assurance that
thus the common Interest is snbscn ed and tbe gen
eral welfare advanced. , . ....
In the discharge ot my ofllclal duty I shall en
deavor to be guided by a Jost and unstrained con
struction of the Constitution, a careful observance
of the distinction betwojn Iho powers granted to
the Federal government and those resered to Iho
.states, or to the people, and i-r a cautious appre
ciation of those f nrctlons which, by tho Constitu
tion and laws, have been especially assigned to the
executive branch of tho government.
But he who takes the oath today to preserve,
Protect and defend tho Constitution of the United
latcs only aaiumes the solemn obligation which
every patriotic citizen, on the farm, hi tho work-

We should never be ashamed of the simplicity and
prudential economies which are best suited to the
operation of a republican form ot government and
most compatible w Ith the mission of the American
people. '1 hose who are se.ected for a limited time
to manage public atfJlrs are still of tho people, and
may do much by tholr ciamp'e to encourage, con

that plain way of life which among their fellow
