Following It a dotallod account ot the
ceremonies connocteil with tho lunuguration
of Grover Cleveland and Tiiomm A. Hen
dricks us President nnd Vico 1’rcaldcUt of llio
United States:
IT-eoIdcnt-eloct Cleveland pracoedod to
Washington from Albany quietly and without
any display. He was accompanied by Private
Secretary Ijntnontand a few frlomls nnd rela
tives. Upon arrival at Washington early in
the morning ap-Minvdr She fas driven at
once to his quarters tn tho Arlington hotel,
During the dey lid roaetved many Visitors,
Including Vice-President-elect Hendricks, and
held various conferences with prominent
Democrats. At 2 o'clock, r. u., Mr. Cleve
land anil Colonel Lament outered a cnrrlage
and drovo to tho White House, where n for
mal call was mode upon President Arthur.
Mr. Arthur’s Invitation to ditto had-been
previously declined by Mr. Ctoveknd, Imt- tho
formal call was mad# yory pleasant by the
rri'tldont’n courteous reception of his suc
cessor. At lislf past ti o’clock in the oveiiing
FrosWont Arthur mado tho customary roturo
call on tho Frosidont^loot At the Arlington.
After his rot urn, from the AVhito Hoiiso in the
afternoon Mr/Clevelnnd rcociVod inoro vis
itors. Ho uinnd at 7 »*. M., nnd during tho
rest of tho ovaning nnd until his retirement
received numorous callers.
Next morning tho President-oWt Aroso
oorly and prepared himself for tho day’s or
deal. Tho President breakfasted curly, and
is reported to lmvo preserved tho same impas
sive demeauor which has characterised all
his public life. If there was any one to bo dis
turbed by ttio evonts of tho clay, it did not
seem probable that it would bo Urover Cleve
land. Busy Colonel Lamout wus engaged in
managing tho details of tho proparalions.
At tho^ White House tho retiring President
was not loss busy. The personal olToct* of
(lenoral Arthur had boon carefully packod.
Many of thg cases had ulroitdy left tho man
sion. Thoso which remained wore labeled for
thoir now dastinatiou. Now York city.
Much of tho city did not go to bed at nil.
All of it arose early in the morning. Tho
newsboys at tho break of day were yelling tha
record of tho excitements and fatigues or tho
day before and the programme of the bust
ling festivities of the day that was to come.
Bauds of music were playing lino selections
from tho hotel areas to listening'crowds.
Tho vacant himicos along tho entire Pennsyl
vania a venue front had beeu turned into ono
vast lumber yard, and tier upon tier of seats
built by speculators wore ready to accommo
date tho ox|>ectod multitudes at fl per head.
Thrifty trades people had also obtained
their license.-*, and in show windows and
upon balconies above tho heads of tho poople
everywh<*yo were improvised stagings, and
seats none too securely protected from full
ing and not protected at all from tho weather
to accommodate friends or to till a yawning
till.
Tho weather was a proof of what Is called
'Cleveland’* luck.” It was tho most beauti
ful dpy of tho year, as warm as a Northern
day iu May. Tho sky was cloudless, ami
there was only wind enough to move gently;
tho miles of Hags and bunting with which tho
lino of inarch was decked. Tho brond avenuo
was swept clean from curb to curb, and tho
marching troopu moved along tho asphalt
pavement with ns little discomfort as in tho
corridors of tho great buildings.
Out in tho clear air. from many quarters
souudod early tho bugle calls, summoning the
;o tneir renaozvouz. Thousands of
same set wore placed Immediately In front of
the desk for the Pl-esldent and Vico Presi
dent. Between the sttats 61 bath Senator'
now oak eaHO-loAied chairs had been placed.
Back of tuo pennanont seats every inch ot
spaco was filled with chairs of various shapes,
sizes and color. Thoro was not an inch of
room, save a vory
Was not covered oy chairs. * ot they were
not enough to accommodate tho vast crowd.
Tho fioor of tho Senate was occupied at an
early hour by distinguished guests. The
Honators were crowded ifi tt compact M>aco at
tho left Of the presiding officer. Tho pro-
wodlng* i*>sso83ed little interest to thorn. Tho
crisis was over; tho work was nearly done;
only details remained to be arranged. Tho
clerks droned oat tho tit'es of tho bills. Tho

Borgeant-at-arms of tho Senate.
All uncovered as they stood facing the
crowd, and tho vast nsseinblngo cheered again
ami again for several minutes. Tho persons
who were to assist at tho ceremonies wore

mass of humanity for nearly 400 foot in front
of the stand and inoro than 1,000 feot cn
cither side. Tho crowd continued less solidly
in tho roar of this multitude. Tho trees in
the groat lawns were filled, and roofs of sur-
roundin* dwellings were covered. On tho
roof of tlio capitol some two or three hundred
men and boys had congregated. In tho ap
proaching avonuos and streets military com
panies nnd society organizations wore massed
in columns forming brilliant vistas as far as
the eyo could reach. On elevated stands en
terprising photographers had elevated their
instruments to perpetuate in photographic
designs the assembly on the stand and the sea
of hats and facos that moved continually
llki tho waves of the ocean.
This immense throug was variously esti
mated as to numbers. President Arthur said
it was ‘ ‘simply immense; the greatest crowd

It is the policy of independence, favored by our
