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.

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.

Before the President loft tho Benato chamber the crowd in front of tho stand had increased until it becamo one solid 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 I over saw.” Senator Hawley, as he looked at it, said ho thought itnumbored about 160,- 000 people.

Hut ho who takes the oath to day to preserve, protect and defend tho Constitution of the United buttes only astumes the solemn obligation which every patriotic citizen, on tho farm, in tho work shop, In tho busy mart* of trade, und everywhere, should share with him. The Constitution which prescribes Ida onth, my countrymen, la your-; the irovernment you have chosen him to administer for a time la yours; the suffrage which executes tho will of freeman is yours; the laws and tho en tire scheme of our civil rule, from the town meet ing to tho State capitals and tho national capital, is yours; Your every voter, as surely as your cliiul magistrate, under the same high sanction, thougl In a different sphere, excrckeu ft public trust* Nor Is this nil. Every citizen owes to the country a vigilant watch nnd close scrutiny of its public sonants and ft fair and rcasonab e estimate or their fidelity and usefulness. Thus is the peoples wld Impresce 1 upon tho whole framework of our civil policy—municipal. Htato and Federal-aud tills is tho price of our liberty and the inspiration of our faith in the republic. It is tho duty of those sei closoly limit public expenditures ------ -- of the government economically administered, bt- cause this bounds tho right of tho government to exact tribute from tho earnings of labor or tue property of the citizens, and because public ex travagance btg ts extravagance among tlio people. Wo should never ho ashamed of the simplicity nnd prudential economies which are best suited to the operation of a republican form of government and nioet compatible with the mission of the American people. Those who are selected for a limited time to manage public affairs are still of tho people, and may do much by their example te encourage, con- stnntly with the dignity of their official functions, that plain way of lifo which among their fellow- citizens aid* integrity and promotes thrift aud I>r Tmfuenhts of our institutions, the needs of our people in their home life, nnd the attention which Is demanded for the settlement and development of the resources of our vast territory, dictate the scrupulous ftvoiila'.ce of any departure from that foreigu policy commended by the history, tho tra. dltiops and the prosperity or our republic. It is the policy of independence, favored by our position and defended by our known love or jus tice and by our power. It is the policy of peace suitable to our interests. It is the policy of neu trality, rejecting auyaharo in foreign broils and ambitions upon other continents, anu repelling their intrusion here. It is the policy or Monroe and or Washington nmt Jefferson—“Peace, commerce nnd honest friendship with all nations, entangling alliances with none." A due regard for tho inter- c»t s and prost cr.ty of all the people demand that our finances ahull be established upon such a sound and sensible, basis as shall secure the safety and confidence of -business Interests and maac the w in-s of labor sure and steady,and that our system of revenue sh ill be so adjusted as to relieve the ncople from unnecessary taxation, taking a duo re- card lo tho Intcrosl. of capital Invested #n4■WO'k- inurnc!. employed In American i duelries, and pic venting the accumulation of a surplus In tho irt.'S ury to iompt cxlravaganco nnd waste, (.are lor the pro-Tty of thu nation, and for tho need* of future fcettlera, require that ike public domain should bo protected from purloining scheme* unu unlawful occupation.
