Grover Clevc land, of Ncv York, thrice nominated for President of the United States, and twice elected, was today successfully inducted into that high office for his second term, with all appropriate ceremonies and the gathering of a mighty multitude, and in spite, of a howling gale of snow and wind. The last occasion wasgrcater than the first. It was more imposing in the mili tarv and civic display. In 1885 there were at the outside not more than 25,' 000 men in line in the inaugural parade. Todav. had the atmospheric conditions been anything like favorable, instead of I before gathered in the nation's capital. tion is attributed to him, nud that is that I ride in his carriage as he did in mine oti the 4th of March, 1889." And so it was, All the ceremonial calls and the other little niceties of the day were observed between them with a cheerful alacrity indicative of almost cordial friendship. A Magnificent Spectacle. The scene along the line of March was such as no city but Washington and no street but its broad and well paved Penn sylvania avenue could produce. Wednes day and Thursdav were almost ideal days of brisk, bracing sunshine weather. which led some to entertain me nope that "Cleveland weather" had set in belore the end of Mr. Harrison's term. These anticipations were not realized. The rain on Friday morning was fol lowed towards evening bv colder rain which, during last night, developed into a snow storm suthcie nt to once more cover the streets with a thin coating. But the expectant multitude, beholding these untoward siens in the early morn ing. recalled the fact that on the dav of Garfield s inauguration snow was tailing at 9 o'clock, and sun shining and dust blowing soon alter the hour ot noon Thev honed for similar good fortune today and proceeded with their prepara tions with unabated ardor. Previous experience with the Knights TemDlar conclave, three vears ago, and the encampment of the Grand Army of the Remiblic last year had prepared the itv to receive and accommodate crowas but no such vast concourse as tins was CLEVELAND'S INAUGURAL GRANT'S PHARMACY.

It was shortly after 11 o'clock when President-elect Cleveland and Vice-President-elect Stev enson entered the executive mansion. They were received by President Harri son in the blue room. Five minutes later the President and his successor reappeared, and, entering an open car riage drawn by four horses, the march of the procession to the capitol was begun. There was no abatement ol the storm and the ride to the Capitol was through fast falling suow whirled in frequent gusts of high winds.

The most dramatic incident connected with Mr. Cleveland s first in auguration was the passage by the House of Representatives, under the skillful management of Speaker Randall, of the bill which authorized the placing of Gen eral Grant on the retired list of the army with the rank and pay of a full general; President Author's nomination of the dying hero to the position thus created; and the Senate'simmediate confirmation of the appointment, in open executire session, tnen and there Held tor the lirsl and only time in its history all this ac complished within a few minutes of the hour when the 48th Congress and the ad ministration of President Arthur paused out of existence together, and while Vice- President Hendricks was waiting at the door of the Senate chamber to take the oath of office at the hands of Acting Vice-President Edmunds, and barely 20 minutes before Mr. Cleveland commenced reading his inaugural address from tke east portico of the Capitol. Grant and Arthur, Hendricks and Randall, the chief actors in this memorable drama, nave all since been called away, and Senator Edmunds has retired to private life. Four years later, when Mr. Cleveland in turn surrendered the chief executive office of the nation to Benjamin Harri son, conspicuous in the distinguished throng participating in the ceremonies in the Senate chamber, wereex-Vice-Pres-ident Hamlin, Gen. Tecumseh Sherman, James G. Blaine, William Windom, and John C. Freemont, each of whom has since passed to bis reward. What changes another four years mcy bring none may divine, but the experience ic the past is eloquent in its suggestivencss of the possibilities ot the luture. " More QenllemanlT Mow. There are four great leading features of every Inauguration Dav: The clos ing hours of Congress, into which so much law-making and history are fre quently crowded; the ride of the retiring President and the President and Vice-President-Blcct with their military es cort from the White House to the Cap! tol to lay down and take up the reins of power respectively; the pageant 01 tne returning procession and review after the ceremonies are over, and the inaugu ration ball at night, bince old blunt John Adams, gripsack in hand, "slid," out of the White House in the early dawn of .March 4. 1801. to avoid ex tending: to bis bated rival, Thomas Jef ferson, the hospitalities of the executive mansion, there has been no break in the uniform courtesy extended every four or eight years by the retiring chief to bis successor, unless there be excepted the personal misunderstanding which arose between f resident Andrew jonnson and General Grant in the last days of the for mer's administration, which made their their intercourse a frigid formality. In this year of grace, courtesy between the outgoing- and incoming powers has reigned supreme, as witness tne banquets given by the Senate without distinction of party, to Vice-President Mortos and Secretary Carlisle; the reception tendered by Vice-President Morton to Vice-President Stevenson and the marked civilities exchanged between Presidents Harrison and Cleveland. "A very sensible lafges- the coat of arms of Illinois, (vice President Stevenson's state), and be tween them were displayed the armorial bearincs ot the other members of the 13 original states. Above each of these iu signia was a banner bearing the name ol the state. Cnshioned seats were pro vided for the President and his Cabinet, who surrounded him; and folding chairs were supplied for the diplomatic corps, who were arranged immediately behind him. On cither side were seats for Sena tors, members of the House of Represen tatives, and specially invited guests. The nearest stand to that of the Presi dent was assigned to representatives of the press. It had a seating capacity of 200, and the applications to the press committee numbered a little over 2,000. The vast Treasury building was com uletelv walled in with stands. The prin cipal one extended along the entire front ot the building, along Pennsylvania ave nue, and had a capacity lor seating sev eral thousand people. This was an open stand and was intended to be occupied by the department employes and their families. Owing to the storm compara tively few took seats there. But the position most sought after in connection with the Treasury build ins was the stand on 15th street, which commanded an unobstructed view of the avenue all the way to the Capital On all little parks and public reserva tions on the line of march and on every other available point, stand were erected, the largest of all extending the entire length of Lafayette square, imme diately in front of the White House and the President's stand, and seating fully 5,000 persons. Profiting by past expe rience and bearing in mind the discom fort occasioned by the wretched weather of four yearsago, nearly all ot the stands were made both wind and snow proof, and thus afforded far more effective shelter than ever before. The finishing touches to the decorations were not ac complished until nlmost the last moment, but tney were atiective, inotign not so varied or artistic, as those which New York, under the direction of its committee on taste, displayed on the occasion of its Columbian celebration. The preponderance of red white and blue bunting, unrelieved bv other tints, gave an air of sameness to the g;eticral effect which might well have been avoided. Military and Civic Dltt-v. The parade of today was greater in number and more imposing in military and civic display than that of any pre vious inauguration. General Martin P. McMahon of New York, the Grand Marshal, carried out in the organization of the procession the same admirable methods of assembling his forces which made his management of the Columbian parade in New York city last October so successful. The escorting division, com posed ol artillery, cavalry, and infantry of the regular army, drawn from the garrisons of Fort Monroe, Fort Xlyer and Fort McHenry, and tne marines from the Washington navy yard, with the admirably drilled national guard of the district, the High school cadet regi ment, and other local organizations, assembled in the neighborhood of the White House and the War, State and Now building and formed in columns of of section of twelveeach promptly at 11 o'clock. Thev marched down the avenue. accompanying the Presidential party irora me n niu iiouk 10 ine apiioi prior to the inauguration. All the rest ot the parade assembled below the Capi tol and marched trom the Capitol up the avenue after the inauguration ceremo nies were over, a distance ot fully two miles to the point of disbandment Washington circle, near 23d street. Like a miliar camp. For more than half the day the city looked like a vast military camp in snow storm, the almost interna- unterrified" who swarmed the walks unmindful ot the discomfort. The Presidential party with their mil itary escort came in sight of the eastern entrance of the Capitol a few minutes after 12 o clock. A large crowd naa as sembled at the east front and cheered loudly as Cleveland approached. He went in bv the basement entrance in order to avoid the somewhat slippery steps outside. When he entered the Senate wing the cheers of the outsiders gave away to an ovation. Harrison entered the President s room where he spent a ittle time signing bills. C'eycland and Stevenson meantime were entertained at lunch iu the Vice-President's room. When the Senate clock indicated 11:50) but when the actual time was 12:50 the Vice-President-elect was announced; and Stevenson, escorted by Senator McPher- son, took nis cnair to tue rignt 01 v ice- President Morton. Immediately alter- wards the President of the United States and his cabinet were announced; and President Harrison and members of bis cabinet entered the chamber. Harrison was escorted to one of the scarlet chairs standing in front of the clerk s desk. Iinmediatelv afterwards the president elect was announced, and Mr. Cleveland, escorted by Senator Ransom, took the chair next to President Harrison. His entrance iuto the chamber was greeted with applause Then Vice-President Morton adminis tered the oath of ofhee to his sucessor and yielded him thechair of the presiding officer. The special session of the Senate of the Fifty-third Congress was then formally opened with prayer bv Caplain Butler. Vice-President Stevenson then rose and addressed the Senate. He said "Senators: Deenlv impressed with a sense of its responsibilities and of its dignity, I now enter upon the discharge ot the duties of the high office to which I have been called. 1 am not uumindful of the fact that among the occupants of this chair during the one hundred and four vears of our constitunional history have been statesmen eminent aliKe lor their talents and their tireless devotion to public dutv. Adams. Jefferson and Calhoun honored its incumbency during the earlv days of the Republic, while Arthur Hendricks and Moton have at a later period of our history shed luster upon the omce 01 fresiaent ot tne most august deliberative 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 abilility satisfactorily to meet its requirements. I may be par doned for saving that it shall be my earnest endeavor to discharge the impor tant duties which lie before me with no less of impartiality and courtesy than of firmness and fidelity. Earnestly invok ing the co-operation, the forbearance, the charity of each of its members, I now enter upon my duties as presiding officer ot the henate." Alter his remarks the secretary of the Senate read the proclamation of the President convening the Senate in extra ordinary session. Then the Senators, newly elected or re-elected,'took the oath of office. The Vice-President directed the ser-gcant-at-aims to proceed to the execu tion of the order of the Senate relative to the inauguration of the President of the Uniced States. The procession to the east portico of the capitol was then begun. When the distinguished gather ing had taken the place assigned to them at the east front Senate wing, the Pres-deut-clect took the oath of office and then delivered his inaugural address. He said : "My I'cllow Citizens: In obedience to the mandate of my countrvmen I am about to dedicate my self to their service under the sanction of solemn oath. Deeply moved by the expression of confidence and personal at tachment wbicu Has called me to tuis service, I am sure my gratitude can make no better return than the pledge I now give, before God and these wit nesses, ot unreserved and complete de votion to the interest and welfare of those who have honored me. 1 deem it fitting on this occasion, while indicating the opinions 1 bold concern ing public questions of present import ance, to also briefly refer to the existence of certain conditions and tendencies among our people which seem to menace the integritv and usefulness of their gov ernment. While every American citizen must contemplate with the utmost pride and enthusiasm the growth and expansion ot our country; the sufficiency ot our institutions to stand against the rudest shocks ot violence; and while wondering at the enterprise of our peo ple, and the demonstrated superiotity ol our free government, it behooves us to constantly watch for every symptom of insidious inhmiitv that threatens tne national vigor. The strong man who in the confidence ot sturdy health, courts the sternest activity ot life and rejoices in the hardihood ot constant labor, may still have lurking near bis vitals an un heeded disease that dooms him to sud den collapse. It cannot be doubted that our stupendous achievements as a people and our country's robust strength have given rise to heedlessness of those laws governing: our national nealtn, wbicn we can no more evade than human life can escape the law of God and nature "Manifestly nothing is more vital to our supremacy as a nation, and to the beneficent purposes of our government than a sound and stable currency.
