W ASH iNUTON, March -I.-Urover Cleveland, of' New York. thli cP non,i nated for Presiden, o the Unitced States and twiceelected, was t,o-day siccessful ly inducted into that high lofice for his second term with all appropriate core monies and tle gathering of a mighty multitude and the a: companiment of a blinding snow storm. The last occasion vas Lreater than the firsf. It was more illposinm iln the military and civic dig play. Had the atio4Iheri condtions been allything L;ke Favor-11hle, itstead of being as bad as they ectill possibly be, there would p,rhb-ly have been sixty thousand men -ind] a number of ladies marching or idire in the parade, as avaist twenty-five thousand in 1885. They were all here waiting to fall in line, but, at the last moment masy of t1.Oe organizationls were compelled to de. s1A. torm participation. Nevertheless tile ocAsion Was made meiorable by Ahe vabt atleudance. In 1885 there were at the outside n)ot more than tweu ty-five thousand men in line in the in augural parade. To-day the Governors of eleven great States-New York, New Jersey. Conuccticut ad Massachusetas in the North ansI East.; of Pennsylvania and Maryland among the Middle States; of' Georgia, North and South Carolina ald Louisiana in !ho South, and of .Wisconsin in the far West-participated in the national cerclonies and thereby elPlhfasize(d the collplete restoration of nAt,ional unity. Mole interesting and igllicant Cv(n tj-ian this, perhaps, ll the eyes of other nations and the his torian, were the manifestations of the marvellous growth of the country in populat;on and power, aid the fact that this momentous and majestic chnge in the government of sixty-five millions of people was acconilished according to a cut and dried formula, every step of which was planned and publicly an nounced beforehand, and without notice - able disturhance of public interests or the creation of any excitement except that naturally ace impanyin a great national pageant and the influx of two of t1ree hundred thousand siahtseers into the Capital. TURN A11OUT IS FAIR PLAY. The or:ler of proceediia was altuost -dn.itally the same as four years ago, witeQ Uaction of' the chie 'particlplants reversed, und it diflered very little, ex. cept in tleextent of the demonstration, from t eight years ago, which b' Cleveland to Wash ington (C o of' Marci. 1885.) for the first 10t public career. Time and th ti .ious urn'" of death. which ". cry nameill in motion," had wrough k changes in the interim however. Tho most (.ramatic incident connected with Mr. Cleveland's first in uaurationN was the passage by the House of Representatives, under tile fikiliul mianagcment of Speaker Ran3all, of the bill which autihorlized the placing of Gen. Griant on the retired list of the army with the rank and pay of a full general; President Arthur's nomination of the ding hero to the position thus created, and the. Senate's imniediate confirmation of the appointment, in open executive session Lhen and there held( f>r the ih at and only time in its lustory. All this accompulishied within a fewv euinultes of' tihe hour when the 48th Congress andh the Administrat,ion of Presiden t A rthurlm passed out of existence together-, and while Vice Preident Htendlricks was waitinlg at the dloor of tile Senate chlamber to take the oath of oflice at the hands(1 of Act,ing President ~Edmunds and( barely twenty minut.es be -' fore Mr. Cleveland commencedl readling his inaugural adldress from tile east plor tico) of thle Capitol. Grant and Arthur, IIetjricks anld RanlTdall, tihe chief actors in this memorable drima, hlave all since been calledl away, and( Senator Edmundls has retired to private life.

"'I desire the ideas of P'resident Hlarrison carried out as to my convevanen to ile inugural cremonies," wrote Mr. Cleveland. "A very sensible sugges tion is atteihuted to him, and that ik that I ride in his carriage ae ie (lid Ii mine on the 4th of March. 1889." And so it was. Al! the ceremonial calls and the other little niceties or th( (lay were observed between them with a cheerful alacrity indicative of' almost cordial friendship. TiIE 'EOPLE'4 ON DRESS PARADE. The scene along the line of march was such as no city but Washington and no f-Areet but its bread, well-paved Pentsylvania avenue could produce. The lavy rain storm of Tuesday had exhausted itself and Wednesday and Thursday were almost ideal days of brisk, bracing, sunshiny weather, which led to the entertainment of the hope that "Clevel ind weather" had set in before Mr. Harrison's storm. These anticipa Lions were not realized. Rain on Fri day morning was followed in the even ing by cold rain, which during the night developed into a storm sufficient to once more cover the streets with a thin coat. ing. But the expectant multitude be. holding these untoward signs in the earl1 uorring recalled the fact that on the (lay of Garfield's inauguration the snow was falling at 9 o'clock und the sun wae shining and the dust blowing after the hour of noon. They hopect far similar qood fortune to-day, and proceeded with their prenarations with unabated ardor, Public and private standa erected alon-, the line of* march from the Capitol to 1 point heyond the While House had an estimated seating capacity of 60.000 per sons. And every one of them was crowded. Previous experience with the Knights Templar conclave three vear.; ago and the encampment of the Grand Army of the Republic last year had pre pared the city to receive and accomo (late crowds, but no such vast concourse as this ever before gathered in the na tion's Capital. The two railroad--the Baltimore and Ohio and Pennsylvania -which alone up to the present time h:ve the right of' entry into the city, were taxed to their utmost capacity, Thousands of other visitors came in by river an( by road. Boa% ing and coach ing parties were organized from Mary land. The steamboats anchored in the river aflorded sleeping accommodations for their guests, and the coaching par ties were able to drive io the suburbs, and there obtained freer and more airy accommodations than in tie dense. ly crowded city. Every foat of stand ing room along the route of the proces sion, fully two miles in length, was 0r0 cupied; windows commandin g a view o the Parade brought fabulous prices, anm advantaleous seats on the public standf comma.ided prices ranging from $5 ul and down. TI E 'RESI DENT'S itrEVIEWING STAND The main stand from which Presi dent Cleveland reviewed the parade wai erected immediately in front of the White House. It was 150 feet long and quite deep, and had a comfortable seat ing capacity for 1,100 persons, 600 more than the corresponding stand erected on the same site for the inauguration of President Harrison. It was decorated with eflective taste.. In the centre was an arch forty-two feel, high, handsomely draped and surmounted by the arms of tihe United States. On the extreme right was the coat ot arms of New York, (Mr. Cleveland's State;) on the extreme left was the coat of arms of Illinois, (Mr. Stevenson's State;) and between them were displayed the armorial bear ings of the other members of the 13 original States. Above each or these insignia was a banner blaring the name of the State. Cushioned seats were pro. vidled for thre President and his Cab'net, who surrounded him; andl folding chairs were supplied for the diplomatic corps, who were arranged immediately behind him. Onr either side were seats for Sen ators, members of' the Ihouse of Repre senrtatives, andl specially invited guests. The nearest, stand to that, of thre Presi dent, was assigned to rep)resentatives 01 the press. It had a seating capacit,y of 200 and the applicationAs to the pressi committee numbered a little over 2,000. The vast treasury building was wall.d in by stands. Tire principle one extend. ed along the entire front of the building, along Pennsylvania avenue, and had a capacit,y for seating several thousand peple. Th'lis was an open stanrd and was intended to be occupied chily by~ t,he dlepartment emloyees an(l their farmilies. Uut, the position most sought after in connection with the tresatry building was the stand on 15th street. which commanded an unobstructed view of the avenue all the way to the Capitol. On all the little parks and public r-eservations on the line o1 merch and on every oLhcr avail able pomnt st,ands were erected, th e largest of all extending the entire length of' Lafayette square, imnmedliately in front of the White blouse and the Pres. idlent's stand, and fully [seating fiv< thousand persons. Profiting b)y paal experience and beariig ini mindl t.hi (disconmliorture occasioned b)y thi wretched weather of four yeari ago, nearly alt of tire stands wer( madhe hob.r wind( anid water-proof and thus aflordedl far~ more p)leasant shelter than ever bef'o..:.

Polk em ploved nearly 5.000 words, Taylor 1,000. Fillmore simply announced the death of t Taylor in a message of 269 words se nt I into each house of Congress, and deliv ered no inaugural. Franklin Pierce's address was 3'300 words: Lincoln's on his first election 3,500, on his second only 580. Johnson took up the reins of government after Lincoln's death in a I brief message of .360 words. Grant's first inaugural was 1,100 words long, his second 1,300. Hayes employed 2,400 words, Garfield 2,000. Arthur followed the custom of other Vice Presidents in succeeding to the Presilency through decth by giving only a very short ad dress of 400 words. Cleveland's first in augural, which lie committed to minmo ry, was 1,600 words. Benjaien Iarri son entered otfice with an ina.uural of I, 500 words. AN OCCASION OF REJOICIN. The installation of every P1resideit I elected as such by the people has been I attended by more or less of a civic and military parade. the firing of cannon, and other maifestations of public re joicing. The story that Jellerson rode unattended to the Capito and hitched his horse to the fence is simply one. of I three contradictori accountR of' the event, and the one bearing least -vi dence of authenticity. Contemporary newspaper rel)ort:; represent him as he. t ing escorted from his lodgina,s to the Capitol by a body of militia and a pro cession of citizens. PRESIDETIAL WEATHER. In the matter of weathar the inauigu ration of William IHenry Harrison. Polk Lincoln, Grant. Hayes and Benjamin I Harrison alone were marred by storms and rain. All the other Presidents- wire favored with tunshine; some ev n with balmy warmth. Thus the popular idea as to the prevalling inclemency of March weather in Washington does not I seem to be borne out by the facts. The I exceptions, however, have been oi'reat I severity. At Grant's second inaugura- t tion some of the troops nearly froze at I their posts, and many deaths were di- t rectly attribuced to the cold drenching rain which accompanied the late Presi-1 dent's entry nto office. ON TO TilE CAPITOL. Snow was talling tast when President Harrison and the Premident-elec'; enter ed their carriages or dr the White House portico. The President and Mr. Cleveland en tered the first vehicle, a closed carriage, belonging to President Ilarrisoni. It was drawn by four hian(some ha3 s I roi the White Ifouse stables and was driv en by Villis, the White House coach man. Mr. StEvenson and Senator Mc Pherson were in the second carriage, drawn by four big white horses, with white trappings. Albert Ilawkins, who has driven Gen. Grant and every subsequent President from the White House to the Capitol and back, again held the reins. In the third carriage. arawn by four bays, wereSenators Ran som and Teller of the Senatorial com mittee. Secretary Charles Foster of I the treasury departient, and his suc- : cessor, Mr. Carlisle, came next. Their % carriage, like eai of the succeeding c ones, was drawn by two horses. In the r fifth carriage was Secretary Tracy; in ( the sixth were Attorney G eneral Al iller Y and Postmaster General Wannamaker; t in the seventh, Secretary Noble; in the I eighth, Secretary Rusk; in the ninth, t Acting Secretary Vharton, of the State I department; and in the tenth and last, t Admiral Gherardi, the senior ollicer of i the navy, Gen. Schofield, comnmiianding I general of the army; Lieut Rtidgely hunt, aid to Admiral Gherardi, and( Lieut. Schofield, aid to Gen. Schofield.i There was no abatement of the storm,t and the ride to the Capitol was through a fast falling snowv, whirled in frequentc gusts of high wind. .Notwithstandingt the inclemency of the weather, Mr. 1 Cleveland's hat was oif frequently in I response to the enthusiastic cheers of1 the "UJnterrifled" who swarmed tihe 1 sidewalks unmindful of then discomn- I rorts. IN FRONT OF TimE cAPITOL. The Presidential part,y with their military escort came in sight of the eastern entrance of thme Capitol a few minutes after 12 o'clock. A large crowvd had assembled at the east front and cheered loudly as Mr. Cleveland approached, iIe wvent in by the base ment entrance, in order to avoid the somewhat slippery steps out side.1 From the moment he descended from the carriage he was received wilth his ty cheers, and when he entered the Sen ate wing the cheers of the outside gave way to an ovatin. President IIarri-c son entered the side room, where he spent some time signing bills. M< 'ars (-leveland and Stevenson meantimeI were entertainedl at a buffet lunch in the Vice-President's room. CERIEMONIEs~ IN Till: SENATEC. When the Senate clock indicated 11:50, but when the actual time was 12:50, the Vice-P'resident -e ect was an nouinced, and Mr. Stevo "'on, e: 2crtedl by Senator AMcl'herson, ' ok ti e c:ha~ir to the right of Vice-Pres1dent Mor.i Immediately afterwards the P'residlent of the United States and his Cabinet were annlouncedl, and Preside it ilarri son andh members of his Cabinet eni- I tered the chamber.
