7 The Centre Le Circe Jon, Over 3500 INAUGURATION AT HARRISBURG Hon. Sam’l W, Pennypacker Takes Oath of Office. SCENES AT THE CAPITOL A Large Crowd Was In Attendance The Weather Was Cold and Chilly | — Philadelphians Everywhere on | Exhibition. Monday and Tuesday the great rail. | road systems leading into Harrisburg were taxed to full capacity carrying hundreds aud thousands of people from all parts of the state, to the capitol city, to attend the ceremonies of inaugurating Governor-elect Samuel W. Pennypacker as the executive of the Keystone stale Crowds boarded the trains al station, and as the conductors passed through the cars they gathered up the every familiar yellow round-trip ticket, every. body had one. They out from Harrisburg tothe political lead- were passes sent ers in every county who distributed them among their heelers and retaicers. Pass. es were so plenty that they could be had for the mere asking. Why they were so numerous and whether they came from the politicians, or by the courtesy of the railroads who court for others to explain. This was the writer's first experience at such a public function. Some of the daily papers declare that Harrisburg was in holiday attire amid a profusion of flags and bunting. The fact is that the principal hotels and a few other buildings along with all the rum shops constituted the display. The city was illed with Philadelphians who usually wore a silk hat on the side of their beads, displayed faces intended for fighting bulldogs, over the lapels of politicians, remains their coats were gorgeous badges and | » Pennypacker “‘phizes,” beer bellies swaggered and wobbiled in while their big profusion sweeping everything mm front of them. The clubs from Philadelphia, as a rule, bespoke a tough class, low down, with here and there a sharp, shrewd, clever man among them leader, The weather was raw and frosty crowds kept hovering about the hotels as and and saloons to keep from chilling, where they found severe cold. At 11 o'clock the senate and house met, and after the transaction of some minor business, both branches adjourned to the grand stand in front of the capitol to await the coming of the gubernatorial party. The stand was profusely decor- ated with bunting, while in gloom was the front of the Executive D:partment in memory of the late Ex-Gov. D. H Hastings. Atnoon the inaugural com. mittee called at the executive mansion and announced to Gov. Pennypacker that it was ready to conduct him to the capitol. In the line of carriages that started from the executive mansion were Gov Stone and Gov-elect Pennypacker,jthe outgoing and incoming state officials, members of the supreme court and sn: perior courts, prominent former military attaches, At the capitol the party was met by the members of the Legislature and con- ducted to the stand, where little time was lost in beginning the ceremonies After music by the band Rev. EH. Ieisenring offered a prayer and then Chief Clerk Smiley, of the senate, read the certificates of election. Justice D. Newlin Fell, of the supreme court, then administered the oath of office and a salute of seventeen guns was fired at the state arsenal, remecies flor the proper citizens and The address over, the gubernatorial | party took carriages and joined the line | of procession on Third street, which at once moved off, When the procession had gone over the greater part of the route, Governor Penny packer and party left the line and took a position on a stand in front of the executive mansion, where they reviewed the parade, The inaugural festivities closed at night with a pablic reception at the ex- ecutive mansion, which was decorated with palms, ferns and laurel, The inaugural parade was made up first of state officials, then a portion of the National Guard of Pa, following, then came a large number of famous Re- publican clubs of Philadelphia. The fire departments of Harrisburg conclud. ed the parade, : Standing in front of the capitol bald. ing, amid a large crowd, as Governor Pennypacker came along, there was It. tle or no applause noticed, he occas’ .n- ally doffed his hat to the mute throng in a most embarrassing manver, That he is not popular with the masses was evi. dent for as Johu Eelkin, the defeated can, didate, came along there were outbursts strong cootrast with leading the procession.
