WASHINGTON, March 4.-Democracy has been installed in thc person of Gro? ver Cleveland. Republicanism once more give place to its victorious oppo? nent and retires in thc person of Benja? min Harrison. To have seen the wild enthusiasm which has prevailed in the ciry for the past few days and have noted the thou? sands upon thousands of shouting and cheering Democrats who have had full sway in the city, the question would naturally arise: "Was there ever any other than a Democratic party? Such an intermingling of sections and friendly greetings between citizens of all quarters of the Union has never been seen in Washington. The man from way down east meets the brother from the sunny south, and. if they do noi: quite embrace, the warm clasp of the hands and hearty congratu? lations* you wdlV observe between them makes you forget thai there ever existed any differences, and feel if there had, they wero entirely obliterated and buried forever and eternally. Two Hundred Thousand Visitors. This is a fair estimate to place upon the number who saw the sights in Washington and honored the president upon the occasion of his second inaugu? ration. Governors with their gav plumaged 6taff officers, representatives, state-leg islators, members of the judiciary with thousands of other lesser lights were here in force, while capitalists and pau ?>era minglo^ together in the great h'ronfc-fchiu surged through the streets and around the public buildings and wound up the day by shouting them? selves hoarse over the great event of the hour. Among the great leaders of the party are Governor Pattison and his staff v Governor Flower, of New York; Governor Altgeld, who led the minois Democracy to triumph; Governor Peck, of Wisconsin: the gallant Fitzhugh Lee. of Virginia; Governor Northen, of Geor? gia; Governor Russell, of Massachusetts. Badges and ribbons decorated the per? son of nearly every visitor, designating the society or club to which he belonged and the}' range all the way from the Democratic club of "-Ben Smith's dis? trict," to the insignia of the Taminanj" ites of New York. The Arrangement? Per-fccted. Perhaps no event, even of much less magnitude was ever more perfectly planned or more accurately executed. ^^^^^ The minutest details were carried ! through with a precision that must I have been exceedingly gratifying to ! Chairman Harrity, and certainly was a cre.lit to himself and his corps of assist? ants. There was bunting everywhere, on the buildings, around awnings, over | fences-any-where and everywhere. These, with the bright flags ami ban- ; ners of societies and military, erganiza- j tions with their bright armor and* play- | ing bands mad?? a picture that was cal- ! dilated to ?waken the emotions of every loyal American citizen. Had the atmospheric conditions been anything liko favorable instead nf being as bad as they could possibly be, there would have been HO.OOO men and a num? ber of ladies marching or riding ii the parade, as against 25,OOU in 7h?>y were ail'here waiting to fall in line, but at. the last moment many of the organi? zations were compelled to desist from participation. Nevertheless, the oe ca ?ion was nw ile memorable by the vast attendance, It teas shortly af tor 1? o'clock when President-elect Cleveland and Vice president Stevenson, accompanied In* the senate committee an arrangeaient*, entered the exectlt?Te mansion. t They werte received by President Har? rison in the? blue room. Five minutes later the president and his successor reappeared an entered an open carriage end the march of the procession to the capitol begun. President Harrison wore an overcoat u?th fur collar and cuffs. Cleveland's overcoat had a plain collar. Both of course wore silk hats. They rode in President Harrison's carriage, drawn by four bay horses. William Willis, who has driven the president's carnage for three years, handled the reins. There was no abatement of thc storm, and the ride to the capitol was through a fast falling snow, whirled in frequent gusts of high wind. Notwithstanding the inclemency of the weather, Mr. Cleveland's hat was off frequently in response to the enthus? iastic cheers of the "unterrifted," who swarmed the sidewalks, unmindful of the discomfort. The presidential party* with their militan- escort came in sight of the eastern entrance of the Capicol a few minutes after 12 o'clock. A large crowd had assembled at the east front and cheered loudly as Mr. Cleveland ap-pronehed. He went in by the basement entrance in order to avoid the somewhat slipper}- steps outside. From the moment he descended from the carriage he was received With lusty cheers, and when he entered the senate wing thr- cheer* from the outside gave way to an ovation. ?r. Harrison entered the president's room, where he spent somet?mes?gning bills. Messrs. Cleveland and Stevenson m the meantime were entertained at buffet lunch in the vice-president's room. When the senate clock indicated ?1:50, but when the actual time was 12:50, the vice-president elect was announced, and Mr. Stevenson, escorted by Senator McPherson, took his chair tu the right of vice-President Morton. ? Immedi etely afterwards the president of the United States and his cabinet were an? nounced and President Harrison and the members of his cabinet entered tho chamber. Mr. Harrison was escorted to one of the scarlet chairs in front of the clerk s desk. Immediately afterwards, the presi? dent-elect was announced, and Mr. Cleveland, escorted by Senator Ransom, took the chair nexc to Mr. Harrison. His entrance into the chamber was greeted with applause. Then Vice President Morton admin jrtered the oath of office to his successor, and yielded to bini the chair of presi? ding officer. A special session of the senate of the fifty-third congress was then formally opened with prayer by Chaplain Butler. Vice President Stevenson rose and addressed the senate. He said: Senators: Deeply impressed with a sense of its responsibilities and of its dignity, I now enter upon the discharge of the duties of the high office to which I have been called. I am not unmind? ful of the fact thar among the occu? pants of this chair during the one hun? dred and four years of our con THE MARCH UP PENNSYLVANIA AVENUE stitutional history have been statesmen eminent alike for their talents and their tireless devotion to public duty. Adams. Jefferson and Calhoun honored its in? cipiency during the early days of the republic: while Arthur. Hendricks and Morton have, at a later period of our history, shed luster upon the office of president of the most august delibera? tive assembly known to men. I assume the duties of the great trust confided to me with no feeling of self confidence, but rather with that of grave distrust of my ability satisfac? torily to meet its requirements. I inay be pardoned for saying that it shall be my earnest endeavor to dis? charge the important duties which lie before me with no jess of impartiality and courtes}- than of firmness and fidel? ity. Earnestly invoking the co-opera? tion, tire forbearance, the charity ?f each of its members, I now enter upon my duties as presiding officer of the senate. The Senate's Extra Session. As he closed his remarks Mr. Steven? son directed the secretary of the senate to read the president's proclamation convening the senate in extraordinary session. Mr. McCook read the procla mation, and then the senators newly elected or re-elected were invited hythe vice president to come forward and take the oath of office. They did so and each, escorted by bis colleague, advanced and the oath was solemnly administered by the vice pres? ident, the senators afterwards subscrib? ing to the same at the clerk's desk. All these preliminaries having been duly disposed of. the vice president di? rected the sergeant-at-arms to proceed to the execution of the order of the sen- j ate relative to tho inauguration of the president of the United States. The procession t?? the east portico of Capitol was then begun. When the distinguished gathering | had taken tile places assigned to them j at the east front of the senate wing, j the president-eletft took the oath of <>f fice and then delivered his inaugural address. He said: In obedience to the mandate of my countrvmen, I am atout to dedicate myself to He ir service under the sane- ! tion of a solemn oath. Deeply moved by the expression of confidence and per? sonal attachment which has called me fo the service. ? am ?ure mv grantmte can maV? no better return than the pledge 1 now give before Go 1 ami the e virituesses of my unreserved and com? plete devotion to the interests ami wel? fare of those who have honored me and ?j.deem it fitting on this occasion while indicating the opinions I hold concern ing public questions of present impor? tance, to also brit fly refer to the exist? ence of certain conditions and tendon- ; ?ies among our people, which seem to j menace the Integrity and usefulness of j their government. While every American citizen must j contemplate with utmost pride the : growth and expansion of our country, the sufficiency of on* institutions to ; stand against the rudest shocks of vio- ! ?eace. tine wonderful thrift and enter- 1 prise of our pe >ple and th?; demonstra- ' ted superiority of free government, it behooves ns to constantly watch for'eV- ! cry symptom of insidious infirmity that threatens our national vigor, and the strong man "who; itt the confidence-of j sturdy health, conrts the sternest activ--? ities of life and rejoices iu the h-ardi-. ' h'>o<? of constant labor, may still have I lurking near his vitals the unheeded disease that dooms him to sudden col? lapse. lt cannot he doubted that our stupen? dous achievements as a people, and our country's robust strength, nave given rise to the hcedlt s mess cf those laws governing dir national health, which we can no more evade than human life can escape the laws of God and nature, and #%irfestly nothing is more vital to our supremacy as a nation and to the beneficent purposes of our government ?han a sound and stable currency. Its exposure to degradation should at once?ronse to activity the mostenlight PRESIDENT Ct^?LASD SPEAKING. r-ned statesmanship, and the danger of d fpredation in the purchasing power of wages paid to toil should furnish tiie strongest incentive to prompt aiad con servative^ perception, In dealing with ot?f present embar rassing situation as related to this sub? ject, we will be wise if we temper our confidence and faith in our national strength and resources with the frank concession that even those will not per? mit us to defy with impunity the inex? orable laws of finance and trade, At the same time in our eiToft to adjnst the difference of opinion, We should be free from intolerance or pas? sion, and our judgments should be unmoved by alluring phrases and uuvex ed by selfish interest. I ara confident that such an approach to the subject will result in prudent and effective rem? edial legislation. In the meantime, so far as the execu? tive branch of the government can in? tervene, none of the powers with which it is invested will be withheld when their exercise is deemed necessary to maintain our national credit or avert financial disaster. Closely related to the exaggerated confidence in our country's greatness, which tends to a disregard of the rules of national safety, another danger con? fronts us not less dangerous. I refer to the prevalence of a popular disposition to expect from the opera? tion of the government especial and di? rect individual advantages. The verdict of our voters which con? demned the injustice of maintaining protection ' ">r protection's sake, enjoins upon the people's servants the duty of exposing and destroying the brood of kindred evils which are thc unwhole? some progeny of paternalism. This is the bane of Republican insti? tutions and the constant peril of our government by the people. It degrades to the purposes of the wily craft a plan of the rule of our fathers-established and bequeathed to us as an object of our love and veneration. It perverts the patriotic sentiment of ; our countrymen, and tempts them to the pitiful calculation of sordid gain to be derived from their government's maintenance. It undermines the self I reliance of our people and substitutes in its place dependence upon governmental favoritism, and stupefies every enno? bling trait of American citizenship. CLEVELAND'S CABINET. The Men Who Will ?sit in Council vrith Him This Term. Contrary to expectation, every mem? ber of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet was pres? ent at the inauguration. It was thought that Mr. (.Tresham would not be able to get to Washington before about the middle of the month, but he managed to come earlier and arrived Friday night. In his choice of a cabinet President Cleveland has particularly honored the 1 g il profession. Six out of ti ht port? folios went to lawyers, and old newspaper men secured the re? in ai ni ng two. The legal lumi? naries areWalter ?. Gresham. John G. Carlisle, Hilary A. Her? bert, Hoke Smith Wilson S. Bissell and Richard Ol? ney. The news? paper men are WALTER Q. GRESHAM, Daniel s. Lamont and J. Sterling Morton. and Mr. Smith is also prominent in the newspaper world in the south. Walter Quinton Gresham, the pre? mier of the Cleveland administration, is now Gi years of age. March has bsen an important month in his career, for he was born at Lamosville. Ind., March 17. 1832. and in March. 1S93, he assumes the office of secretary of state, thehigh^ est place in the gift of the president? elect. It is odd. too, that he was born in Harrison county, and that 60 years jed a company tit home guards into tiie federal service, and for gallant services ..ose gradually in rank until he wi*? made a brigadier general at Vicksburg. In July. 136-4*, he was disabled by a minie ball which broke his leg as he was leading a charge- General Grant made him United States district judge, and he served for Ii years, during which time not a single ont- of Iiis decisions was re? versed by thc United Staten supreme court. Judge Gresham receive,1 many honors at Presider?" Arthur's hands. He was successively mad?? postmaster gen? eral, secretary of th?? treasury and United States judge 5or the Seventeenth judicial district at Chicago. In October, 1 s??>. after he had refused the People's party nomination for president, he an? nounced that he would vote for Cleve? land and added. "I think that a Repub? lican ?in vote for Mr. Cleveland with? out Joining the Democratic party.'* In lN*?s Judge Greshany married Matilda McGrath, and they have a sou ano. daughter.

Carlisle. Daniel S. Lamont, secretary of war, first achieved fame as private sec? retary to President Cleveland during his first term. His career has been a very in? teresting one.

The two following years he was chief clerk in the state department at Albany, and during Governor TildenTs administra? tion Lamont was regarded as his confi? dential man. In 1883 he was appointed private and military secretary of Gov? ernor Grover Cleveland, and" tims se? cured his title as colonel. When Mr. Cleveland went to Wash? ington as president. Lamont accompa? nied him: He already possessed a great reputation as a model private secretary -alert, keen, even tempered, diplomatic and silent-and after he had been at Washington a short time he was gener? ally regarded as^ the most ?hie private secretary a president had ever possess? ed. His tact, shrewdness, ability and popularity made him ene of the saost conspicuous figures of the president's ofSeial family. Since the close of the Cleveland administration he has devel? oped into a street railway magnate of most marked ability and has been inter ested in a dozen big enterprises. His income is said to be about $10').OOO a year; his salary as secretary of war will be $8,000, ?Irs. Lamont is described as a model wife and mother. There ar? three little Lamonts-Bessie, aged li years; Julia, aged 9. and Frances Cleve? land Lamont, aged 4. Hilary A. Herbert, secretary of the navy, has served several years as chair? man of the house naval committee at Washington and is said to kuow more abolit the navy than any ot&ermanin con? gress. He was born at Laurens ville, S. C., in March, 1S34, and moved t o Ala? bama when he was 12 years old. He became a law? yer, but dropped HILARY A.* HERBERT. his books at the breaking out of the war and entered the Confederate army as captain. He became a colonel through gallant services and was disabled at the battle of the Wilderness in 1864. He practiced his profession at Greenville. Ala., until 1872. when he removed to Montgomery, his present home. His important political office was that of congressman, and he has served as a member of the Forty-fifth, Forty-sixth, Forty-seventh, Forty-eightn, Forty muth, Fiftieth, Fifty-first and Fifty second congresses. Mr. Herbert is a widower. His family consists of a mar? ried daughter, an unmarried daughter and a son at school. later he should refuse td support for president the grandson of the niau from whom the county of his birth took its name. Mr.-Gresham was born on a farm in a rather wild locality, and when he was only Swears old Sheriff Gresham, his father, was killed by a desperado. There were six children for the widow to support, but young Gresham man? aged to get a good education and be? came a lawyer. When the Rep iblican party was organized, he joined it and took"np the antislavery cause. When the Avar broke out.

March 4.-Presidentelect Cleveland will turn his attention imme? diately after his inauguration and the' confirmation of the members of his cab? inet to the filling of important offices' iii the different departments*: The prin? cipal of these are. of cocrsev tte: assis tants" places. . . There is a considerable number ci these, ranging from one each in the' navy, war and agricultural departments* tO two in tiie interior, turee each in tho Sreasury and stat* departments, fcur in; she posiofiice and si* in the' &>\mtment' of justifie. It maj* be said with cohfi-" dence that the men who will take these places have been determined upon in * tery few cases indeed. iii the department of state it is prob-"' able that Mr. George L. Rives of thi*' .i?ty. who held the place l>efore, wi I again become first assistant secretary." In the treasury department it rs not likely that more thar* ?me assistant U yet choseu, and he is Mr, Charles L. Hamlin of Massachusetts-,-. who will. probably be api>oiated to tfeat one of the secretaryships entrusted with tlx? nmnagement of the customs. The secretary of war has not yet p:0: cured an assistant for himself, and, so far as is known, neither has the secre? tary of the navy. With the possible exception of Robert A, Maxwell, who is talked of pretty ex-" tensively for fourth assistant postmas-7 ter general, Mr. Bissell has probably not got in mind a single oue of the men wm/ are to be members of his staff. It is not even a certainty that Mr. Maxwell's name will find favorable con? sideration for this particular place, al? though no doubt is expressed of his ap? pointment to some office of dignity andr importance. The attorney general has the appoint-" ment of a solicitor general and six as? sistants, some of the latter, however, are very rarely changed-one of the principal assistants having seen service ' in that department for many years.-. it is doubtful whether a" s'ingle ap-" jDbiritmefit for a fi'fst class mission has* yet been determined upon, sfchonghr" gossip still'connects the naroo of ex-3ec-" retary Bayard with the mission to the court of St. James, and there are, hints about that Christopher G. Baldwin and Mr. Henry Yillard. both of this city, ; have been thought of for the Russian mission. The name of Frederick R. ??udert has also been mentioned as a pwbHfrie^ minister to France, but. none of tSes?* tuas reached a stage beyond gossip. It is generally assumeU that Mr. Yan Ai-" len, of Rhode Island, will bs nrminate-.V comparatively early in the admrnij^tra tion as minister to Italy. An <tyensecret is that Patrick A. Col-.' lins of Massaciiuseeis, will beaoereoited* early in the administration ;s <-ons-*lt to7 London. Ir is doubtful. however." W??e?beT any of the incumbents of the" other consuuTtes general or even of che more important consulates have >vr determined upon. '?-. J . A good deal of pressure Fin's* he^t? brought in favor of the reappoint mt n : cf John H. Oberiy. of Illinois, to bis place as commission? . of Indian affair?, and Congressman . Mi-Kiu ney. of New Hampshire. is pasho I by his friends for the n^nsi;.;: effice, but in all these cases almost ?:-?^ serious attention lias been givm ;o :he" chocsi'ng of men for them. Quite early in the administration tjio president will haye the aprarutinent'of two circuit judges", "^ne to succeed Jus-" tice Jackson and the other as the suc? cessor of the new Secretary cf Stata" Waker Q. Gresham. ^ , . Some' pressure ha's'"" already ."?ee:i" brought to bear in favor ot' -\-in::i<iat?-ss for the latter places especially, but neither thc- president nor any of'his ad-' visers have given the slightest attention'' to ir. and it is pretty certain that those ' "**ho will apply first will be about the' last to get cwsidp'ratioi-k Mr. Morgan, of Connecticut, fe sail to be a candidate for the treasurership* of the United States and Conrad N'. Jordan, of this city, ; will also be pre? sented by his friends for the office of assistant treasurer here. . It is certain, though, that very few of these more important appointments have been so much as even considered. This is not due to the fact that there ' ire not plenty of men ready and willing to take . them? b?t to? the . other and . more importai tr consideration that the time of the presi? dents Ins be rn s> taken up wi rh th > selection of a cal inet that he has had*' no opportunity whatever of considering *rpp ointment for ^hese plac?s . . c r Among so?r? of sStiftes meuticr.-ed for assistants places arc those *?f State ^T**" ator McClelland, of Sfoc* VorkV John P. Frenzel. of Indiana, ar' assist? ants to the secretary of the treasury and William McAdoo. of New Ywrk, as* assi>tant to the sec retary ?>f the navy. The appointment of assistant secre-" tiryships is generally left to the heads" of tho departments themselves, ' although the' President win no* doubt determine a good many of them in his own mind and make the appoirt ments after consultation with the mem? bers of his cabinet as to their accepta? bility. Of the consulates very few have tims far been settled. <n?arai?fee<r Cnre, We authorize our advertise! dnigpist to tf,* Pr Kitig's New l>i.<eovery f.-r Consumption, Cough* and Olds, upon this condition.
