Governor Foraker Inauguarated.

Governor Foraker was inaugurated Governor of Ohio, Monday, for a second term. There was the largest crowd in attendance at any similar occasion since the inauguration of William Allen as Governor. The parade, which took place immediately after the formal exercises, was composed of over sixty companies of military, and as many more organizations in the form of political clubs and civic societies. All the important towns of the State were represented. The oath of office was administered to the Governor-elect by Chief Justice Owen, of the Supreme Court. The Governor was enthusiastically received. His inaugural remarks gave an outline of the inauguration of the first Governor of Ohio, and contrasted it with the exercises of Monday, drawing some very striking lessons and setting forth thd advance which had been made since the adoption Of the ordinance of 1787. Much of his address was prophetic of the one hundred years to come.
