The Day Disagreeable, Mr, Cleveland's Address, WASHINGTON, MAR. 6.—Democrat- ic enthusiasm cannot be washed out, snowed out, blowed out or froze out. The north wind blew, the snow fell and there were icicles hanging from the trees, houses, and the whiskers of men, but these little annoyances did not count when it came to inaugur- ating a democratic President. Mr. Cleveland proved his indifference to them by declining to deliver his inaug- ural address in the Senate chamber, instead of from the open-air platform on the east front of the Capitol, before which, standing in the snow storm, were about 10,000 people. He thought and correctly, too, that if these people were good enough democrats to brave the storm to see him—few of them could get near enough to hear him-— deliver his inaugural address and take the oath of office, he was good enough democrat to take offhis hat, storm or | no storm, and do it, and he did. There isn’t money enough in exis-| tence to buy from the President the worn bible upon which he took the! oath of office in 1885, and upon which | Chief Justice Fuller administered to | him the same oath Saturday. It is more valuable than gold or precious stones; it was his mother's, and Mr. Cleveland has never forgotten the com- mandment, “Honor thy father and | mother” ete. Not since the second inauguration of Grant has there been such a dis-| agreeable inauguration day, but the only noticeable effect the weather had | was to keep a few men whose health | was not robust out of the parade, | which was over three hours long as it was, to disfigare and disarrange the! house decorations and to postpone the | fireworks. Everything else went off | according to programme, just as would | have been done had the day been as | clear and balmy as that on which Mr. | Cleveland was first inaugurated. On | the reviewing stand with the Presi dent and the Vice President were a| large number of prominent ladies and | gentlemen, among them Mrs. Cleve-| land and Mrs, It is difficult Stevenson. to say which of the received the grandest ovations along the line of March, but Peck, of Wis-| consin, Flower, of New York, and | Russell, of Massachusetts, have good | reason to put the day down among the | proudest of their lives. It is generally conceded that the In-| augural ball was the most successful, | from every point of view ever held, | and that the decorations of the ball | were handsomer and more artistic than | | had ever been seen here. The mem- bers of the committee in charge started out to make this inauguration a mem- orable one in every respect, and they | succeeded. It was a great day for | Grover Cleveland, a greater one for the | democratic party, and greatest of all | for the country, beginning, as it did an | era of real, simon pure democratic gov- | ernment, not the pinchbeck kind the republicans have given us. President Cleveland's inaugural ad- dress was a model of itskind. A plain honest, straightforward statement of his intention to carry out to its fullest extent the platform upon which he was nominated and elected, and par- ticularly noticeable was the complete ignoring of the Hawaiian annexation scheme. It is evident, and particular ly gratifying to democrats, that Mr. Cleveland intends to investigate that subject more thoroughly than Mr. Harrison did before committing him- self, and as he put himself, in his ad- dress, squarely on record as opposed to subsidies and bounties of all kinds, it Is certain that if Hawaii gets annexed Its sugar planters will get no bounty on their sugar, The Vice-President, in his address, upon assuming the chair of the Senate at the opening of its extra session, made an excellent impression upon the Senators as well as upon the pub- lie. ‘His popularity with the rank and file of the democratic party is unbound- ed and what is more to the point it is all reserved. He is made of the right soft of stuff. A newspaper man was telling him that he supposed the dig- nity of his new office woula prevent a resumption of the free and easy meth- ods in vogue in his office, when he was first assistant Postmaster General, and the “boys” were always welgome. Mr. Stevenson laughed and sald: “My new office will ruake no difference. You bys wil be just as welcome as in the Id days, There will be no sentry ad in frontof the Viee-Presi- dent's room. You will not be forced : dive ard 17 your pockets and fish out ‘be Funomitted to ne. ona am not there you will send for me. Wherever I am the newspaper man is welcome. I am the vice president of the people, and the people are entitled to'know what I am doing. There will | be no red tape about the office.” Brother Wanamaker is an expert on the value of advertising. He signaliz- ed his retirement from public life by sending—of course at government ex pense—a letter to every Postinaster and railway mail clerk in the country. This letter administers taffy in such big chunks that its receivers cannot fail to read between the lines: “I am again in business at the old stand; bar- gains in every department.” tts i COBURN, Many People oa the Move-An Attempt Made to Float Up Salt River, i The farmers are taking advantage of | the fast disappearing snow by hauling their grain to market.

Mrs. Cleveland, who occupied a seat in the front bench of the President's gallery, was a center of intercést during | the three-quarters of an hour that in-! tervened between her arrival and the | appearance of Vice President Steven- son. The decorum of the body was riot broken by applause when the lat- ter came in shortly before 1 o'clock. The hands of the senate clock had been put back three timesjin the mean- while. But when Mr. Clevelamd ap- peared a short outburst occurred in the galleries, SWORN INTO OFFICE. - The troops arrived at the noon hour. At 1.40 the arrival of Mrs. Cleveland, Mrs. Perrine and other members of the presidential party betokened the early appearance of the president-elect. There were about 50 ladies and gentle- men in the Cleveland party, and they were shown to two rows of chairs re- seryed for them immediately behind the presidential enclosure, At about 1.35 o'clock the doors lead- ing from the rotunda to the central portico of the inaugural stand swung open and Marshal Dan Ransdell of the Distriet of Columbia and Marshal Wright of the United Stetes supreme court appeared heading the procession, Fx-Vice President Morton and Chief JUS, aX Cupt Tent Judge Binteh- and Ransom of the committee of ar- rafigements, preceding President Har- rison and President-elect Cleveland, who walked side by side.
