arc pretty big things, nn I this second inauguration of Mr. Cleveland was a little the biggest thing of the sort over seen in this country, an 1 that means, of course, the biggest affair of the kind ever seen anywhere, for no other country than ours, and no other city than Washington, can boast among its attractions a quadrennial coronation by an outpouring of the masses and an outcropping of intense partisan joy. For more than half a day the city looked like a vast military camp, the almost interminable marching of regulars and the well-equipped military forces of the States being broken in upon on'y by the visiting Governors in their civilian costumes, riding past in the | crderth.it their States were admitted ' into the I nion, end accompanied by I their brilliantly i ni ormed staffs. Then, wita an intervening interlude of Grand Army and Union vet rans, came the civic half of the parade, tu Iv as numerous and as interesting as the military i display. The weather was bad. Friday there was a storm abroad, and its center was gravitating toward the Potoma Va bv. I 1 uring the night it broke, and when ft ashington and iris family awoke Sat- ! urday morning there was two Im dies ' of snow on the ground and as many j more floating in the air By noon the I snow had ceased to fall, but the wind had shitted to the northeast, whence came a cutting, ie. blast straight fr m j Nova Scotia. The northeaster caught I the deep snow and blew it in a biting I cloud into the faces of the < rowd. The 1 bronze lady at the summit of the dome , of the Capitol was coated in ce. Ice lay an inch thick on the huge wooden । platform of two acres extent erected for the ceremonies nnd tn 1 , the ur. tiulslu. d XaXuamy A« mM*ng * w** the plaza were gaunt and shining like the arms of huge frozen ghosts. The capital city for this occasion was decked out as it never ha I been decked leforo, l ut the acres of flags am! miles of bunting which adorned the nubile ; buildings and private shops and residences b came a ghastly drooping and ■ unpleasant force when seen through

the almost opaque medium of the snowcharged air of inauguration morning. These great inaugurals have three principal, popular features. One is the gi and parade from the Capitol down; the avenue past the Treasury and the White House. This occurs in the afternoon. A second popular feature is the fireworks and illumination in the even- i ing, and the third is the inaugural ball. I These are the features in which the ■ great crowds of visitors are interested. The inauguration itself is not much to them, because so few are able to see the new President and Vice President take the oath of oßlee. (Inly 1.700 people can be cr<>wd< 1 into the Senate Chamber, whore X lee rresi- 1 dent Stevenson was sworn in, and | •the Diplomatic Coips, the lio a Representatives, tho Supreme < omt, the Army and Navy, the press and families of high officials, and a few favored or influential persons have been aceom modated there isn’t any room left. As a matter of fact this year not one in a hundred of the 1 eople who thought their importance entitled them to admission were able to get in. 1 here was more pulling and hauling and scheming and cajoling than there will be for the oll’mes which Grover will have to give out. But the public could see the new President read his inaugural address. Two or three thousand were able to hoar him and 40,003 or 50,000 were able to look' on, and those with sharp vision could see his lips move. A large proportion of the oigamzations that were to take part in the larade arrive 1 the day and night beforehand and, in spite of the turbulence ot the elements, made a gay night ot it AU the morning new marching club? were arriving, and all the side were filled with Democratic society prepared to shout their throats iaw loi Cleveland and Stevenson Meantum the committee and their aids were 5

1 Ing around, while marching bands sounded the first notes of the coming cat nival. At the Arlington Hotel Presi-dent-elect Cleveland was an early riser, and as soon as breakfast was out of the way he and party found Senator Kang som and one of the Republican members of the Senate committee on arrangements waiting with carriages to conduct them to the White House. |

The march up Pennsylvania avenue took about half an hour, during which the crowds from one end o’ the line to the other rent the air with cheer- upon cheers. When the procession reached the Peace Monument at the rear of the Capitol, the Chief of the-Capitol police force, with his mt n, cleared the way to the Senate approach at the east, while the procession wound its way through the south portion of the snowcovered grounds, and along the east

The appearance of Presi-1 dent Harrison and Mr. Cleveland served a- a signal for the hundreds of thousands of people packed in the great park before the Capitol to break forth in one prolonged shout. Spread out I i before the occupants of the stand were acres and acres of heads. The vast I assemblage might be likened to a great . prairie grain Held, but it was a surging wave of human grain.
