complete restoration of National unity.
There are four great leading Icatures of
Inauguration Day The closing hours of
Centres, into which so much law making
and history are frequently crowded;the ride
of the retiring 1'resident and the President
and Vice President-elect, withtheir military
escort, from the White House to the Capitol,
to lay down mid take upthe reins of power
respectively; the pageant of the returning
procession and review alter the ceremonies
of inauguration are over, ami the inaugur
ation hall at ntght.
In thia year of grace courtesy hetween
the outgoing and incoming power has reign
ed supreme, as witness the banquets given
by the Senate, without distinction of party,
to Vice President Morton and Secretary Car
lisle, the reception tendered hy Vice Presi
dent Morton to Vice President
Stevenson, and the marked civilities ex
changed between President Harrison and
Mr. Cleveland. "1 desire the ideas of Prei
dent Harrison carried out as to my convey-
anc to the Inaugural ceremoniea," wrote
Mr. Clevelatid; "a very sensible suggestion
is attributed to him, and that is that ride
in bit carriage, as be did in mine on the 4th
of March, 18X9." And to it was. All the
ceremonial calls and other niceties of the day
were observed between them witb a cheer
ful alacrity indicative ot almost cordial
fri 'iidship.
The scene along the line of march was
' neb us no city but Washington and no
aireet but its broad fell paved Pennsylvania
' avenue oould produce. Public and private
. (tanda erected along the line of march from
the Capitol to a point beyond the White
House bad an estimated seating capacity of
00 (KK) persona and every one of them was
crowded
The main stand Irom which President
Clevelatid reviewed the parade was erected
immediately In front of the White House.

It was 120 feet lone and quite deep and hail
comfortable seating capacity for l.pm per
sons. It was decorated with eflcctive tate.
Cushioned scats were provided fol the
President and his Cabinet who surrounded
him, and folding chairs were supplied for
the Diplomatic I orp. who were arrnniied
immediately behind him. (Ill either side
Were seats "for Senators, meiuhers ol the
House of lleprescntutivc and specially In
vited guests. The nearest stand to that of
the President was assigned to representative
of the press. I he vast Treasury Pudding
was completely walled in with stands. The
principal one extended along the entire
iront ol the htiildiiiK on Pennsylvania ave
and lind a rapacity of seating several thous
and people. The 'position tmwt sought after
however, in connection with the Treasury
Htiilditig was the stand on fifteenth street,
which commanded an unobstructed view
of the avenue all the way to the Capitol.
Owing to the unfavorable weather the
President and President elect did not leave
the White House for the Cupitul until 11 1"
' o'clock.
There was a wild buzah from thousands
I of throats as the carriage hearing the Presi-
dent-elect came 111 sight, preceded by Grand
Marshal McMahnn and staff. President
elect Cleveland and President Harrison
both raised their litiis in respon-c to the
' popular salute, hut iheonlv (fleet was to
redouble the enthusiasm of the multitude.
, Slow ly the first brigade of the escort tli
vision, in advance ot the Presidential party,
. started in measured trend lipnn the historic

members of President Harrison s Cnbinit
Muj. lien. Scholield, and the Senior Adml

i curt division brought up the rear. In this
1 order the President. President-elect and

I Capitol.
I The proceedings at the Cat itol followed
the prescribed programme issued by the
Committee on Arrangements, Upon enter-
ing the Senate wing the President went
directly to the President's room, and the
President-elect to the Vice President's room,
where tbey remained until they entered the
Senate chamber. Ths Vice President-elect
remained in the Vim President room until
he enle ed the Senate chamber, where the
oath of ollice was administer. d by the Vice
President.
Meantime the members of the Supreme
Court, the Diplomatic Corps, Governors and
other invited guests, and members of the
House of Representatives entered tbe Senate
chamber. After tbe organisation of the

Cmvilakd' first inauguration in 1883
aras the signal for tbs return of the Demo
cratic party to power after twenty-four
years; tbe return also of southerners and se
cessionists to office and to Washington.
Their appearance waa by far the most sig
nificant feature of tbe occasion. Tbs men
who had ones cx-iected to enter the capitol
as conquerers now came to carry away tbs
polls of peace Instead of war; the prodigal

1NAUOCHAL.CEREMON1E9.
Full Test of President Cleveland's Ad
dress, In Which Re Briefly Out
lines His Policy.
Capitol Hill, at Washington, 1. C, far as
die eye could reach from the eastern front
of the Capitol, was an undulating sea of hu
manity assembled to witness the administer
ing of the oath of oflice to the new Presi
dent, by the Chief Justice of the I'nlted
States, and to hear, as many of them as
could get within earshot, the inaugural ad
dresa,
A fter the vnrlous bodies had been seated
on the great platform erected for the Inau
gural ceremonies, Chief Justice Puller nnd
Mr. Cleveland appeared, amid n wild out
burst of applause, and the Chief Justice ad
ministered the following onth tn the Incom
ing President: " I do solemnly swear thnt
I will faithfully execute the ollice of Presi
dent of the I'niteil States, and will, to the
best of my abilitv, preserve, protect nnd de
fend the Constitution of the Pulled Slates."
The president then proceeded todeliver his
address, ns follows:
My Kn tow cmr: In obedience tothe
mandate of mv countrymen, I nni about to
dedicate myself In their service miner the
sanction of n solemn oath. Deeply moved
by the expression of conlldciice and person
nl attachment which Ins called ine to this
service, 1 am sure tuv gratitude can ntako
no better return than the pledge I now give,
before God and these witnesses-, of unre
served and complete devotion to the Inter
ests and welfare of those who have honored
me. I deem it titling on this occasion while
indicating the opinions 1 hold innceining
public questions of present importance, to
aio hrielly rcler to the existence ot ccitatu
conditions and tendencies among our peo
ple which seem to menace the integrity
und usef ulness of their Government.
While every American citizen must con
template with the utmost pride and enthus
iasm, the growth and expansion of our
country, the sulllciency of our institutions
to "tnird agaiiit the rudest shock of vio
lence, the wonderful thrift and entcrpr seof
our people, and the demonstrate, I superiori
ty ot our tree government, it behooves us to
on-t:intly wntch I'orevetv symptom of any
insidious 'infirmity that threatens our Na
tional vigor. The strong man w ho. in the
contid.'iii e of sturdv health, courts the
stciicst activities of life, and rejoices III the
hardihood of constant labor, may still have
lurnini! near his vitals the unheeded disei e
that dooms him to a sudden collapse. It
canti t be doubled that our stupendous
achievements us a eople and our country's
lobust siren-. th. have given rise to n heed
si,es of thoe ana governing our Na
tional health which ueean no more evade
than human life can csape the IiimsoI'ioiI
' D I nature.
.Manitestly nothing is more vital tn out
sii remncy as n Nation, and to the bene
ficent pi.rposes of our government, than a
( mud and stable currency, lis exposure to
degradation siiou'd at once arouse to activ
ity the most enlightened statcsmauship:nml
the danger of depreciation in he purchasing
power ot the wages paid to toil should fur
nish the strongest Imeutive to prompt and
lonscrva'ivc precaution.
in dealing with our present embarrassing
system as related to this subject we will be
wise if we temper our confidence and faith
in our National strength and resources with
the frank concession that even these will
not permit ustocefy with impunity the in
exorable laws of li unlit i. At the same time,
In our efforts to adjust differences of opin
ion, we sttouM tie tree ironi intolerance or
passion, and our judgments should be un
moved by alluring pli rases anil u live led by
.elfish interests,
I am confident that such an approach to
the subject will result in prudent andellect
ive remedial legisln ion. In the meantime,
so fur as the executive branch of the fiov
er inient can intervene, none of the powers
with which it is invested will be withheld
when their exercise is deemed necessary to
maintain our national red t or avert Ilium
cin) disaster.
Closeiy relatid to the exaggerated conli
dence In' our country's greatness, which
lends to a disregard of the rules of national
fiilety. another dancer conlronls us not less
MTious. 1 refer to t lie ptevalciice of a pop
ular deposition loexpei i, from the opera
tion of the (iovernmeiit especial and uircct
inoividual advantages. I he verdict of our
voters, which condemned the injustice of
maintaining protection for piotection'a
-like, enjoins upon the people's servants the
duly of exposing and destroying the lirood
of kindred evils which are tbe unwhole
some po'veny ot paternalism. This is the
bine of republican institutions, and the
constant peril of our (iovernmeiit by the
eople.
It degrades to the purposes of wily craft
ihe plan of rule our f.ithers e-tablished and
briiuealhed to us as an object of our love
and veneration. It perverts the patriotic
sentiment of our countrymen and tempts
them to a pitiful ca:cu ul'ioii of the sordid
gain to be derived from their (iovernmeiit' s
maintenance. It undermines the self relance
of our people, aiidsubsiitutea in its place,
dependence uron liovernmenlal favoritism.
It sillies the spirit of true Americanism. und
stupefies every ennobling truit of Ameri
can citizenship. The lessons of paternalism
ought to be unlearned and tbe belter lesson
taught, that while the people should pa
triotically and cheerfully support their
(iovernmeiit, its functions do not include
the supnort of the people.
Tbe acceptance of this principle leads to a
refusal of bounties nnd subsides which bur
den the labor and thrift of a portion ol our
citizens to aid ill-advi-cd or languishing en
terprises in which they have no concern.
It lends, also, to a challenge of wild and
reckUas pension expenditures which over
leaps the bounds ot grateful recognition of
patriotic services and prostitutes to vicious
uses the people's prompt and generous im
pulse to rid those disabled in their coun
try's defense.
Kvery thoughtful American must realize
the importance of checking nt its beginning
any lendemy, m public or private station,
to regard frugality und economy aa virtues
which we miiy aalelv outgrow. The tolera
'ion of this idea results in the waste of the
people money by their chosen servants,
and encourage! prodigality and extrava
gance in the home life of our countrymen.
I'ndcr our scheme ol government, the waste
of public money is a crime against the citi
ren and contempt of our people for econo
my und frugality ol their personal affairs,
and deplorably Mips the strength and sturd
iness ol our National character. It is a plain
dictire of honesty and good government
that public expenditures should be limited
by public necessity, and that this should be
meusured by the rules of stru t economy;
and it la equally clear that frugality among
the pi ople is the best guaranty of a con
tented mind, und strouge-it iupport of free
institutions.
One modeof misappropriation of public
funds is avoid. d when appointments to of
fice, instead of being the rewards of partisan
ac ivity, are awarded to tin ae whose ef
ficiency promises a fair return of work for
the compensation paid to them. To secure
tbe films!) and competency of appointees
to ortlce, nnd to remove from political action
the dtnuvalizing madness lor spoils, civil
service reform has found a place ill our
public policy and laws. Tbs benefits al
ready guinea through this instrumeutali'y,
and the further usefulness it promises, en
title it lo the hearty support and encourage
ment of all who desires to see our public
service well-performed, or who ho fur
tbs elevation of political sentiment and
tbe purification of political methods.
The existence of immense aggregations
of kiudre l enterprises and coroiiinations of
business Interests, formed for Ihe purpose
of limiting production and fixing prices, ia
inconsistent with the fair field which ought
to be open to every independent activity.
Legitimate strife In businesa should not be
surpeceded bv an enforced concession to the
.temantls of combinations that have the
power to destroy, nor should I be people to
lie served lose the benefit of cheapness,
which usually results from wholesome
competition,
These aggregations and combinations fre
que inly constitute conspiracies against the
Interest! of the people, and In nil llieii
phases they are unnatural nnd opposed to
our American sense of fairness. To the
extent that they can be reached and re
strained by federal power the general (lov
.rnnieiil should relieve our ciilrens from
their interference and exactions

the eqiiall'V hetor ihf law w hich It guar

land. I he enjoyment of this right follows
the baik-e of citi?.eiisbiu wherever found. and
iinitnpniredbyraceorcolor.it anials for
recognition to' American manliness and
fairness.
Our relations with the Indians located
within our borders impose upon us respon
sibilities we CHiinnl escape. Humanity and
consistency ri quire us to treat them with
forbearance, and in our dealing with them
tn honest Iv and considerately regard their
rights ami Interests. Kver.v effort should be
made tn lead them through the paths of
civilization and education to self sup-vnrting
nnd indes'iidenf citiz'-nship. In the mean
time, n the Nation's war s. thev should be
promptly defended against the cupidity of
des'L'tiiiur men and shielded from everv
Influence or temptation thnt retard their
advancement.
Toe people of the Pulled Slates have de
creed flint on this day that Ihe control of
their government In Its le-lstatlve nnd exe
cutive hnnclie shall be given to a political
pnrtv pledged ill the most positive terms to
III" accomplishment of tarifT reform. They
have tints determined in favor of a more
lust and eqnilnhle sv-teni of pederul taxa
tion. The acents they bin e chosen lo carry
out their purposes are bound to their
promises, not less than bv the command of
ttieir masters. to devote themselves unremlt
Inglv to this service.
While there should be no surrender of
principle, our tak must he undertaken
wisely, ami without vindicliveness. Our
mission I not punishmrnt. but the rectifi
cation of wrongs If in lifting burden from
the daily life of our people we reduce innr

from unwilling intnil acquiescence In the
theory of nn honest distribution of the fund
of governmental heneliivnoe treasured up
for all. we Insist ui nn a principle which
unet lies our free institutions.
When we tear aside tbe delusions and
m iscnncept ions which have blinded our
countrymen to their rendition under vic
ious tariff laws, we but show them how far
thev have been led away from the paths of
contentment anil pro-peritv. When we
proclaim that the necessity for revenue to
support the (iovernmeiit furnishes the only
Justification for taxing the people, we an
nounce n tru h n plain thnt its deninl
would seem to indicate the extent to which
judgment may be inllunced by familiarity
with p-rversinii of the taxing power, and
when we seek to reinstate the st lf-coiiti-dence
nnd husiness enterprise of our oil t
tens by discrediting nn adject depedence
upon t.overnniental favor, we strive to
stimulate those elemeirs of Amerlcnn char
acter which support the hopeof American
achievement.
Anx;eiy for the redcinpt ion of the pledges
which mv party bus made, nnd solicitude
for the cotnp'e e justification of the trust
the people have reposed in u constrain me
lo remind those with whom I nni toco op
rnle that we can sun ceil in doin" the work
w hich has been set before us only by tbe
most sincere, harmonious and disinterested
effort. P.ven if insuperable objection and
opposition prevent the consonimalion of
our tssk we shall hardly be excused: and if
failure can he tnued to our Inult or neg

ns to a ewift and exacting i unit of our
inability.
I heoaib I now take to preserve, protect

obedience to the constitutional commands
a the rule bv which mv official conduct
must be guided. 1 shall, to the best of my

every eiiint of Federal power it contains, by
defending all its restraints when attacked
by lniialience and restlessness, and by en

Fully impressed with the gravity of the

HOW THEV PASSED THE FHFSttlENT
The passage of President Cleveland along
the avenue was a continual ovation of the
most enthusiastic character, and when be
ink his place on the reviewing stand a
mightv roar went up from the multitude.
With head erect and standing firmly, with
his impassive features fucing the procession,
the President reviewed tbe militurv, civic
and political organizations that made up
the line of march, All commissioned and
other officers carrying swords gave the mili
tary snhue as thev passed In review, turning
toward President Cleveland as thev did so.
The imperturbable President returned the
salutes hy raising his hat, accompanied by
an almost Imperceptible nod.
The first popular outburst came when

Democratic, twice Governor of theKeystona
State, und recently himself prominent')
discussed as a Presidential candidate, awoke
all Ilia enthusiasm -A the triumphant Dem
ocracy, and he was frequent y compelled to
turn and bow an acknowledgement lo the
ovations he recaivsd.
Later a loud hnzzi from 10.000 Southern

loliberly looking gentleman, who. with his
staff, headed the third brigade. It was (ien.
Fitzbiigh Lee. of Virginia ex Governor of
the historic old Commonwealth anil nephew
of the Idol of the Southern army. Gen.
llobert K. Lee. The appearance of each
Governor was the signul of more cheering,
and when the veterans marched past they
received a trcniend ins ovation, as did the
Tammany braves.
Tl ere was a i winkle in the eye of the
Vice President, and a suspicious moisture
about those of his wife when the Illinois
Club nf liloominglon. which formed the es
corting party of lbs Vlco President to the
Capital, marched past the reviewing stand.
Possibly this might be ascribed to tbe fact
that their only son, Louis, bad the position
of honor on the righi of the column, as a
mark of recognition of the First Voters' As
sociation. He ia president nf thia organiza
tion, and cast bis firft vote in November for
what proved to he the victorious ticket.
There was another out hurst when the
mounted battalion of good looking young
women who led the Cleveland and Steven
son Club of Montgomery county, Md., rode
past. They were the sister and daughters
of the member, and their dark riding hab
its and low-crowned riding hats presented a
decidedly attractive appearance. The specta
tors were not slow in catching on tn (he
novelty, aud the belles from "My Mary
land,' wert cheered unlil their faces were of
a carmine tint. The organization nf which
they formed the escort hud 81(1 men in line

to the National ticket.

was Bltorded bv the ni'litarv bicrcle com
pany, who mounted u-ion the r wheels and
retaining full control of them, at the same
time bandied their small nriti with a ilix
