Bang, bang. bang, bang, bang! “Where in the name of all the office seekers are all those smoked bell bore?” “Here, Midnight, you needn't wear all the nap off of that suit of clothes in order to get that Drop your whisk broom and show Mr. Democrat to room No. 1598. It doesn’t take all the afternoon to go there and return, either.” “Yes, sir, you will find the room to be one of the best in the hotel. We have reserved it es- pecially for you,” and the knight of the dia- mond stud winked the other eye. EVERYBODY KEPT BUSY. He of the flasher has had no need for the past two or three dats to shine his “emblem,” for the incoming crowds have kept him moving about so rapidly that there has been no chance for any dust to light on him. The hotels began to fill up about Wednesday, and since then the employes bave been kept busy day and night. ‘The applications for accommodations are in Many cases beyond the means of the hotels. and. unless one was thoughtful enongh to have made his arrangements before his arrival he will im the majority of cases have to be satisfied with “pot luck.” But the idea of having to live on air sandwiches and sieep under the open canopy of heaven does not deter them fora moment, as each and every one feeis confident that his name will be among the vert first to go to the Senate for the simecure he so richly deserves for bis unremitting work during the campaign, without wnich Grover and Adlai could never have been in it for a minute. They are coming, Father Grover, 300,000 strong. From the east, the south. the west, the north, they are coming to the Mecca of American national politics, and the quadrennial sand- bagging bas begun. THE LOBBIES ARE CROWDED. ‘The lobbies of the hotels are so crowded that to navigate through the throng it would take one well acquainted with the wavs and means of the floor of a board of trade during a panic. ‘Though in numbers the gathering is equal to the days to the Grand Army encamp- ment, the personalities of the crowd are some- what different. The title “comrade” has given way to that of “boss” and the army corps badges have been displaced with the miniatures of the incoming President and Vice President. ‘The campfire stories sre discounted by the campaign lies. ‘The appearance of the guests is as different asthe sections from which they come. The slick sleek, and well-groomed easterner stands ebeek by fowl with the long-haired denizen of ‘the untrammeled west and the dark-eyed sou of face and spare of figure, e with the rotund and prosperous middle Pennsylvania. Every Provincialism of vast America ‘and commingle i the hotel ro- is rife, but it is good bard words and fewer blows. The republicans accept the re- sult with as good grace as they may and the democrats seek to repress all undue manifesta- tion of a very natural exhilaration. All seem antious to make the oceasion one of jollity in- stead of recrimination. They have come to see the sights and do not care to risk marring their Vision with a black eye. IX THE HOTEL BAR Rooms. In the hotel bar rooms the distinctions be- tween the city's guests are even more manifest than in front of the counter of the clerk. You can tell the nativity of a man by the fluid which he pours into his stomach. The gentleman with the slouch bat and somewhat illy-fitting black coat, who Itans with right elbow upon the board and calls for ““bo'bon,” in a soft drawl, would hardly be classed as a Bangorite, and the Smooth-shaven rotund gentleman who wishes ® Manbattan cocktail “made of rye whisky, please.” evidently never breathed the languor- ous airs of Florida or felt between his knees the | strong stride of the steed which was foaled where the blue grass grows. The white-aproned mixologist, who has had yeats of experience, will name you a man’s state by the drinks hi orders nine times out of ten and is generally Tight the tenth time. WOMEN OF ALL CLASSES, As for the women, they are of all shades and figures and ages. Languorouseyed maidens With the dark bioom of the peach under the branette skins, biue-eyed and yellow-haired daughters of the far north, frank and merry- voiced lassies from the wind-blown prairies of the west, fat and comfortable mainmas, badgered chaperons, old maids with bas-relief elbows and startlingly new teeth, white grandmothers looking upon throngs through strel-bowed variety of gracious femininity hich the world affords may be seen in an Boar's stroll through the town’s leading hostelries. There ate a good many of the Washington males who are whiling away tho hours in this fashion, and who can blame them? 18 THE DINING Rooms, ‘The crowded condition of affairs does not Qloue exist in the lobbies and the lower floors. ‘The dining roomie are jammed with « hungry, | famished, patient mass, willing to accept any affront from the waiter and more than anxious to give their pocket books to the sleek, well-fed head waiter if they could only be waited on and not be obliged tospend over half of the time they remain inthe city in the dining rooms. But they bow complacently to the ism of the inauguration writer and lean ‘once more the pazes of a which is seen to contain a list of the offices under the government that donot require a civil service examination to ify for. “If these people only knew what I am about to be they would show me a little more deference,” he says, and then he begins to wonder if it really is necessary to eat in to survive.

It is a peculiar coincidence that in Washing- ton the citizens from the north and south oc- eupy the same relative positions as to the car- dinal points of the compass that they do at home. The southern element is mostly quar- tered at the down-town hotels, where the typi- cal colone! is to be seen in bis natural state and under the most favorable circumstances, whil at the up-town hosteiries the beaver hatand ki glove type is predominant. At the Arlington ‘Tammany has full control. As the song “One can tell by their style and their ion;” there is no mistaking a Tarnmanyite. His brand is all over his face, and he speaks with a broken French accent. At the the Vice President-elect has established himself, and with him are his Bloomington friends.

In fact, all the hotels have their hands full and the guests are busy having the very best time they Possibly can, and the result is that every one is PY —— SANDY SPRING.

ARRIVAL AT THE HOTEI. At the hotel entrance they were met bye small crowd of people and cheered as they passed under the covered carriageway into the house. A few policemen were on hand to keep the passageway clear. The party entered by the north door and passed quickly through a short hall into the main parlor to the elevator landing and Were at once conveyed to the first floor and ushed into the beautiful apartments set apart for their accommodation. About » dozen ladies, guests of the hotel, anda few newspaper men were the only persons in the parior at the time, and no special incidents oc- curred. DETAILS OF THE RECEPTION. The presidential “special” arrived at the Balt timore and Ohio depot at 6:30 o'clock Jast night, having made the run from Lakewood on sched- ule time without incident or accident. The party, included President-elect and Mrs. Cleve- nd and Baby Ruth, Mr. and Mrs. Lamont, their daughter, Miss Bessie Lamont. and their niece, Miss Grace Sanders of New York, Mr. and Mra. Albert A. Wilson, Dr. and Mra. Jobn D. Bryant, Miss Florence Bryant, Mr. and Mra E. C. Benedict, Miss Louise Benedict. Miss Helen Benedict, Mra. Hastings, daughter of Mr. Bene- dict, and Mr. and Mrs. Richard Wateon Gilder. Ax soon ae the train stopped the members of the local reception committeo jumped aboard and, passing to the rear of the car, where Mr. Cleveland awaited them, paid their respects to the President-elect and were in turn presented to the other members of the party. The com- mittee consisted of Col. Jas. G. Berret, chair- man of the inaugutal committee; Mr. Jas. L. Norris, chairman of the executive committee; Maj. Gén. John M. Schofield, chairman of the reception committee, and Mr. Henry T. Thur- ber, Mr. Cleveland's private secretary. MR. CLEVELAND LEAVES THE CAR. Mr. Cleveland was the first to push through the car and descend to the platform after the committee. He was closely followed by Mrs. Cleveland, and then came Baby Ruth, closely clasped in the arms of Nurse Afnie Thompson. Mr. Cleveland had on « dark overeoat over a black Prince Albert dark trousers. looked well, but did not appear to be as stout ai when he left Washington nearly four years ago. ‘fhe reception committee had fifteen’ carriages for the distinguished guests. When Mr. Cleveland appeared on the plat- form ho was recognized at once, and some one started a cheer that was heartily joined in by the big crowd at the gate. ‘The journey from the depot to the Arlington was accomplished without incident. A eir- cuitous route was taken to avoid the crowds that had congregated along the streets. When the hotel was reached a small crowd was as- sembled, but Mr. and Mrs, Cleveland reached their rooms without any interruption and began preparations for dinner. VICE PRESIDENT STEVENSON'S VISIT. Dinner was served in the dining room of the suite at 9:30 o'clock. Mrs, Cleveland, in a neat~ Lenni-Lenapes. “Tradition furnishes the most marvelous ae- eotint of this famous chief, of his wisdom, his | goodness, his justice, his forbearance, his brav- | try, le struggles with the evil epiritand, above ail, of his love of liberty. “It is reasonably certain that Tammany. was present at the great council under the elm iree at Shakamaxon upon Penn's first arrival in this country. History tells us that all the | a of ihe tribes of Leuni-Lenape there, and it is not at all probable that so dis- | t da chief as Tammany would hare been | absent, but as no treaty was signed at this coun- | cil the names of present have not been preserved. “The first treaty for the purchase of lands tmade by enn wiih the Indians is dated April 23, 1683. Tammany wns a patty to this treaty, and by it he released his right to a tract of lan« lying between Pennepack and Neshamony creeks, But in the great treaty made two years later, May 30, 1685, by which a large portion of Pennsylvania was acquired, the name of Tam- many does not appear, and from this cireum- stance it is inferred that he must have died between these years. In fact, all accounts agree | that Tammany died shortly after Penn settled in this country. found him an old man, yet vigorous in mind and body, with high notions of hberty, but easily won by suavity and peaceable address of the governor. The Rev. John Heckewelder, a distinguished pioneer and missionary—one of the first white men who penejrated the wilder- nese, now comprised by the state of Ohio—ravs that when Col. George Morgan of Princeton visited the western. Indiane by order of ‘Con- rets in 1776 he learned that Tammany was 60 loved for his goodness that the Drlawares conferred upon him the title of venerated chief that Col. Morgan brought back to the whites such glowing accounts of the qualities of this ancient chief that the patriots of the revolu- tion dubbed him a “saint” and inscribed his name on some of the’calendars. SAINT TAMMANY. “Tammany societies were founded in hishonor and he was called St.. Tammany and adopted as the tutelar patron arint of democratic Amer- ica. Mr, Loasing in his histories of tho revo- lution and of the war of 1812 cites with appro- bation the account of Heckewelder, and i: may be accepted as authentic history.” Tamman; was, without doubt, one of the most ii guished red men who ever lived. He was kind, mereiful and brave. He taught his children to cultivate the arts of peace ax well as of war. Under bis leaderehp the confederacy of the Louni-Lenapes became powerful and mighty. He lived to a remarkable age—so great as to be called ‘Tammany of many days.’ He was looked upon as a patriarch and reverenced with all the affection which the sons of the forest always bestowed upon their favorite chieftain. Sueh was the man whom the sons of liberty: the patriot of ths revolution—adopted as their tutelar saint. “When Tammany died he left a farewell ad- dress to the children of his tribes—thirieen all. The thirteen addresses are translated cond tribe has been adopted by the Tammany of the provent day. It sas fol- low “‘Children of the Second Tribe: The tiger affords a usoful lesson for you. The exceeding agility of this creaturd, the extraordinary quickness of his sight and, above all, his dis- criminating power in the dark, teach you to be stirring and active in your respective callings, to look sharp to every engagement you enter into and to let neither misty days nor stormy nights make you lose sight of the worthy ob- Ject of your pursuit.” TAMMANY HALL. “Tammany Hall commenced its career as a patriotic and quasi-political society under the title of ‘Tammany Society or Columbian Order,’ and soon developed into a political organization. Its first breath of life was drawn from the inspiration of the ancient Indian chief whose name it bears. It may be said to have been born of the love of liberty and the f independence. _ Its true office has ever been maintain the great cause of human rights and to preserve the equal enjoyment of them. Its history is made up of the events which so largely enter into the history of New York city, stateand the Union, extending back to the scenes of the American revolution and even previous to the signing of the Declaration of independence. During the year 1765, when the British government imposed the ‘infamous ‘stamp act,’ and then again whena tax was ut on tea, ‘Sons of Liberty’ or the ‘Sons of ‘aramany,” asthe orfanizations were cailed, were formed in all the colonies, and through their influence the revolution was mainly due fitting black gown, sat at the head, while Mr. Cleveland, as host, was at the foot of the tabie, ‘The other members of the party were seated around the oblong table, except Baby Ruth, who took her meal with the nurse in her own apartment. While at dinner Vice President- elect Stevenson called and sent up his card. ‘The porter failed to deliver it promptly, send- ing back word that Mr. Cleveland was at din- ner. Mr. Stevenson then left the hotel for Congressman Scott's, where he had been in- vited to attend a reception.

Searcely had he left when hie card was delivered, and immediately word came from Mr. Cleveland to show the next Vice President up at once. ‘The message, however, was too late. Mr. Stevenson returned again shortly before 110’clock and was at once shown to the reception room, where his greeting with Mr. Cleveland was cordial. He was presented to other members of the party and remained in the rooms chatting for some time. Even after dinner callers were denied admittance, except the intimate friends of the family. ‘Senator and Mrs, Vilas were among the first to goin.

The old Congress, by these articles, was little more than a general committee of delegates from the several states, who had not even the power to bind their prin cipals. In these circumstances it was evident that some plan of general government must be devised with authority to act directly. with reference to national affairs and without con- sulting the states, Men differed as to what that plan of general government should be. It was this difference of opinion which produced the first organized political parties in New York state and the nation. “Pending the formation and adoption of the Federal Constitution it became apparent that, despite the fact that we had, by the war, won a great victory for self-government and the pres- ervation of the enjoyment of equal rights, yet there was a strong tendency to centralize the powers of government and to build up an aris- tocracy. 4 “Alexander Hamilton, as leader, was champion of this ‘sentiment. He and those acting with him were in favor of consolidating the power of the government at one point and thence dis. tributing it to the states. Hamilton pro that the President and Senators of the United States should hold office during good behavior— practically for life; that governors of states should be appointed by the President and Sen- ate and should have an unqualified veto of the acts of the state legislatures. “Hamilton aud his associates were called fed- eraliste and through their efforts there was or- get what was wn in those daysas the party. “Gov.

They must have nearly a unanimous vote to be elected. Every member who a for initiation is required to vouch, that be is a true patriot and firmly attached to the Consti- tution of the United States.

The government had tried but in vain to form a treaty of friendship them. An ingenious plan was devised in Februarr, 1790, to lure their great chiof, Alex- | ander McGillivray, an educated half breed, to | New York city for the purpose of making «| | treaty of peace with him. and thereby avert the | calamities of war. On the 10th of March Wash- {ington had an interview with Col. Marinus | Willett, who promsed to undertake the mission to the Creeks. On the Ist of July the Presi- dent received official information that Willett } was on his return, accompanied by MeGillivray and twenty-eight of his principal chiefs and warriors, and had advanced as far as Hope- j well, S.C. Messages were at once sent to the | governors of Virginia, Marviand and Pennsyl- | sania requesting them to show every possible | ‘attention to the travelers at the public ex- | pense. } “Their arrival in New York city created a sensation. The members of the Tammany Society, arrayed in Indian costumes, went out | to meet them with the military, and escorted them to the house of Secretary Knox, where they were received with great ceremony. They were then taken and introduced to Washington and then to Gov. Clinton, after which they were taken by the Tammany eachems to the temporary wigwam at Barden’s tavern. Me- Gillivay and bis associate chiefs remained in the city about six weeke. During this time thoy were the guest of Tammany and the city. Mili- tary reviews and maneuvers were given in their ences and all manner of courtesies shown em. “On the 2d of August, 1790, a grand banquet was given them, at which were present all the notable statesmen of the day, The Tammany braves enlivened the occasion with songé, and the Creek sachems danced. Washington gave a reception to the warriors and the Tammany braves again acted as escort. Secretary Knox finally succeeded in negotiating & satisfactory treaty, which was ratified in Federal Hall with great ceremony on the 13th of August. Washington and his suite appeared at noon of that day in the hall of Representa- tives and presently the Tammany sachem ushered in McGillivray and his chiefs adorned with their finest feathers. The treaty was read and interpreted, and the President in a short, forcible speech explained the justice of its various provisions, to each of which the Indian potentates granted approval. McGillivray made a short speech in reply. The treaty was duly signi Washington presented the chief- | tain with » string of wampum, for a memorial, | with a paper of tobacco as a substitute for the ancient calumet, and then came » general shak- ing of hands and the ceremonies were concluded by a “song of peace,” in which the Tammany sachems and the Creek Indians joined in their own pectliar fashion, A COLUMBIAN CELEBRATION, “On the 12th day of October, 1792, the Tam- many Society, or Columbian Order, celebrated the three hundredth anniversary of the dis- covery of America by Columbus—the first cele- bration of the event in this country. It was sppropriately, celebrated. Speech muking, Columbian odes, sopticg of a monument to Columbus and a great’ parade constituted part of the program of the day. “The Tammany Society placed the full story of the victims of the British prison ships at the Waliabout before Congress in the year 1803. Since the revolution the bones of those who died on board these ships had been permitted to bleach upon the shore. This inhtimanity has often been censured in the severest terms. From the most reliable accounts not less than 11,600 souls perished on board the various ships which were moored in the East river while the British had possossion of New York during the revolution. To collect the bones of these martyrs and provide a suitabie for their deposit was the object to which the Tam- many Society addi itself.

PATRIOTIC SERVICES, Tammany Hall has been the leader in all public events for the past century. As ® jotic and political organization ® has fostered the love of liberty and the spirit of national independence, in maiitaining the | causes of the masses. The Tammans Society was tho first to cel brate Washington's birthday after bis inangur tion as President in 1789. [thas never omitted | the celebration of the birthday of our nation independence—the Fourth of July—and, as is believed, is the only rociety in the United States which hasalways performed that patriotic duty. . The first constitution of the state of New York, adopted in 1777, had limited the right to vote by a property qualification, whereby the reat mass of the people stood ‘disteanchised. he influence of Tammany Hall was exerted in the most successful way in framing the consti- tution of 1821 and 1846, extending the ballot and establishing the system of manhood suf- frage ns we have itin New York state toda} At different times as “American part now nothing party” and others, which need not be mentioned, it has been attempted to proscribe persons not born in the United States and to prevent their | becoming citizens or to delay their admission | by extended term; but Tammany Hall has al-| ways vigorously opposed all attempts at scription and has maintained a policy which | bas always welcomed to our shores the down- trodden peopie of other nations, except thieves, paupers and Chinese. Tammany Hall has always been opposed to monopolies, to class legislation, to all laws to favor on individual or class of individuals over the other members of the community in the acquisition of wealth or in the enjoyment of special privileges, It isa matter of history that Tammany Hall has stood firmly for the Union and against every influence which would sever its bonds or mar the fraternal and kindly relations that should exist between the great family of states, THE TAMMANY REGIMENT. During the civil war the Tammany Society organized and fully equipped a regiment for ti field of battle, known as the “Tammany regi- ment.” The same keen judgment and valor was displayed this famous regiment on the battlefield as in ith social, chantable and litical undertakings, and the “Tammany ment” has a glowing page in the history of Union. ra Tammany Mall organized and equipped full; brigade ere the close of the civil ware Tammany Hall bas always stood for the cause of labor and has championed every reasonable measure which the labor organizations them- selves devised for the improvement of the con- dition of the masses, AS 4 POLITICAL ORGANIZATION.

It wasan event of more than ordinary importance, drawing people from all over the Saginaw valley. The steam barge Kittie M. Forbes lay frozen in the ice on the north side of the lip in whieh the ice had been broken before the Inunch, Hundreds of boys and many men flocked to the steamer and climbed to her burricane deck. They were warned of their danger and told that the swell from the schooner when launched would knoc them off, but many remained, the view being very good from that point. When all was ready at 445 0'clock and the last haweer cut the schooner started slowly for the water. Then with a rush she plunged into the icy slip andan immense wave forced the ice and steamer Forbes into the air. The Forbes rolled until half over and then the crowd on shore raw @ sight which chilled them. Those who had remained on the upper deck were clinging on for life if they could find projec- tions, while less fortunate ones were fiying headiong toward the water. Fully thirty were thrown overboard. How many are lost has not been ascertained, but wins and Roms Bennett, boys living in Bay City, and Fred Peel, a Michigan Central conductor’ from De- troit, are missing.
