INDUCTING CLEVE AND STEVE Plans and “pt‘f‘lfi(‘fi“:;fll‘ the Ooming Res- toration of the Bourbons. SIMPLICITY OF THE OFFICIAL CEREMONY srions Fa- h Pomwp and Cirenmstanco of geantryThe Crush of Crowds, Crash of Cannon, the Fo Ited Fir the Ball, s of Judged by the enthusiastic reports of Washington newspapers, the inauguration of Grover Cleveland and Adlai Stevenson next Saturday, will be the most imposing affair of the sort that has been witnessed in the national capitol in recent years, Each inaug- uration that has preceded it has been more elaborate than the one next before and there will be no setback this year. The plans, so far as they are perfected, show clearly that the inaugural parade will be more elabor: than has ever been seen on Pennsyly avenue before £ The merel nia official part of the inaugura- tion of the government will not take very long, nor is the ceremony very impres- sive, but an immense crowd will be present at the capitol, and the disuppointment of those who cannot get in the building to wit- ness it will be great. Cards will be for admission to the capitol on inauguration The officers of the capitol are usually vigorous in the enforcement of the orders of the sergeant-at-arms of the senite to ex clude all but the holders of tickets, and while they may be roundly abused by many free born citizens who have “walked all the way to Washington to see Grover inaugu- rated,” or who have not had_their hair cut since his first election and think that they should be entitled to some consideration, or who know their rights as citizens and part owners of the building, they will keep the doors closed to all but the chosen few who have sufficient pull with senators or mem- bers of the house to get tcket: How it is Done new issued day. The Fifty-second congress will be in istence and in session until 12 o'clock on the 4th day of March, but constructively it will be the i up to that hour. The congress will live until 12 o'clock by the senate timepiece. Shortly before 12 o’clock the president and his cabinet and the president-clect and the vice presidentand the vice president-elect will reach the capitol, having been escorted from the white house by the inaugural pro cession through a clamorous crowd, The outgoing and the incoming presidents and the cabinet will occupy the president’s room, and Mr, Morton and Mr. Stevenson will * occupy the vice presidents room Shortly before noon they will all assemble in the senate chamber, members of the house and senate and supreme court being present. Probably about two minutes before 12 the' retiring vice president will administer the oath of office to his suceessor, and then, with a_very brief address will, at the stroke of 12 declare the senate of ‘the Fifty-sccond congress adjourned without day. The new vice president, an extra ses- slon of the senate having meanwhile been ealled, will then call the senate of the Fifty third congress to order and administer the oath to all the newly elected senators. The custom is to take the list of the new sena- tors in alphabetical order and swear in the senators in blocks of four. This being done, the new senate will, if custom_ is fallowes take a r s, and the procession will move from the sen- ate chamber to the east front of the capitol. The way will be led by the sergeant-at-urms and a squad of capitol po- Tice, Then will follow the president and the president-elect, the vice president and the ex-vice president, the chief justice, members of the senate and of the house. and various officials of the two houses and of the supreme court and others who have tickets to the stand. ex- Taking tho Oath of Office. Tho oath of office will be admini the president-elect by the chief justi the new president will deliver his inaugur address. The length of time the ceremonies will take will depend upon how much the new president has to say to the assembled multitede and to the people on the subject of democratic teachings and the importance of the ceremony being performed and its obligations upon the principal actor, ‘This over Mr. Cleveland will be ready to o back to_the president’s room and from thero to be escorted to the white house, while the clamorous crowd chee annons boom, flags wave and there is a wild expres. sion of rejoicing. The senate will reconvene after the formal ceremony of udministering ihe oath, ana will be ready to at once con- firm the cabinet provided no wicked person Taises an objection to the prompt confirms tion The administeration of the oath by the chief justice is really all there is officially of the mauguration of the new president, but the crowd and the procession, the address and all the noise and rejoicing, and the ball at night make up the gre monstration of the day. Officially the thing is very simple. Will Have n Huge Crowd, From all the evidences now at hand it is certain, says the Washington Star, that the crowd that will come on for the coming in- auguration will be a tremendous one. From all the sectious of the country have poured iu apolicatious for quarters, and by the st of March the advance guards of the vast army of visitors will begin to reach the city At the various railroad stations they will be met by members of the committee on public comfort and then turned over to the mes. sengers, who will be hired for the purpose of showing them to the quarters that have been engaged for them. It will not be until the day before inauguration that the great num ber of organizations will reach the city, The military and civic bodies will briug men by the tens of thousands, and according to their plans almost ail of them will try to get here on the afternoon of the #d. From north and south and from as far wost us Utah special trains bringing big or- anizations will start out with the idea of all pouring into Washington at almost the same time. Whether they will get there on the appointed hour is a matter that depends on the railroad facilities—and ou fate. By Saturday morning, at any rate, all the organizatiovs will be in 'the city and then the fun will be at its highest. The chief interest iu the inauguration. of course, cen- ters about the parade. This will be in two general divisions, the military and the civic, and will be under the command of o chief marshal, General M McMahon of New York City. Gene Mahon is an old soldier, and has until itly been the colonel of one of the leading city’ regiments in the Now York He is NOW & promin with large practice. General MeMahon as ap- pointed, as the chief marshal of the civie parade,’ Mr. William Dickson of this city The right of line in the military parade ha: been tendered Lo the famous Seventh regi ment of New York, while the same position of honor in the civic parade will be held by the Tammany society of New York > For the Parade. Up to the time of his inauguration Presi- dent-elect Cleveland will occuny quarters at the Arlington. From there he will be es. courted 1o the capitol by the first division of the military parade, cousisting of the forces from the regular army and the regimeuts from the stawe of New York. While they are making tl®ir way up the avenue the remainder of the parade will be forming in the streets leading out from t pitol. ~ After the ex ercises attenduut upon the taking of theoath and the readivg of the inausural address the line will be formed and the parade will march down the avenue, up Fifteenth stree and around past the white house, where it will be reviewed by the new president, and 80 on out to Washington circle and 'back along K street to Mount Vernon squ where the line will break. It is thought, however, that many of the ovganizitions will drop out of lne by the time they hav reached the circle. ~General McMabion will roview them from a stand on the avenue near the circle. Toaugural Ball Plans. Tn addition to the parade there will be lots else of interest to the crowds who are here for the inauguration. First, of course, comes the inaugural ball. This is to be held at the pension oftice on Saturday evening aud prom- [iéa 1 be the handsomest affair of the. sort vrer given.

Feb, Banker Henry Clews, in his weekly Wall strect review, says con- cerning the late gold flurry: “The disagreement between the doctors of finance to the proper treatment of the monetary disease has attracted a good deal of attention and excited some acrimoniov criticism; but the differences of opinion do not appear to have aggravated the malady, which seems destined to run its course and cure itself, ‘The doctors seem to have dis ugreed mainly because cach side had its spe Al purpose to serve—the purpose perhaps bein h case allowable, but in neither all-controlliug.

The bankers had a very practical and a very important namely, to apply a form of remedy that woild mostdistinctly empha- size the necessity for an fmmediate repeal of the Sherman act, which has unquestionabiy been largely instrumental in compelling the country to give gold in exchange for at least 100,000,000 of secur ties held by foreigners who were alar the dangers connected with our policy. It is open to question, howey whether the banks, in seeking to get be the country this emphatic protest agains continuing the government purchases of si ver, dic not invite very undesirable consc quences from other directions. For, assun | ing the bonds to be sold on the home market the transaction would involve a reduction in the reserves of the banks equal to the amount of bonds sold, no matter whethe they were paid for in gold or United Stave notes; while, so far as they were paid for in the latter, the treasury would be draining the banks and yet failing to get gold for its bonds.

In the Gov ‘‘Although thé ‘free gold’ in the treasury still remains very uncomfortably low, the drift appears to be toward a steady covery in the government holdings. customs receipts are liberal; the treasury January payments of interest have been completed ; the forcign exchanges show an easier tendency ; there is an abatement in the demand for gold for export; and, with the more settled political feeling in Poris, the Bank of France may be expected to soon relax its extraordinary purchases of - gold. And, moreover, we have mnow reached the season when the ld b nce the treasur, Imost invariably begins to gain for ies of - months. Under these circumstances there is reason to hope that the uneasiness caused by the condition of the treasury will henceforward abate and generally more hopeful condi- tions prevail. Should this turn not come so quickly as might be desired, it seems reason- able to assume that some further moderate exchanges between the banks and the treasury of gold for legal tender notes would probably be found to be all that is required to bridge over the interval between the present and the complete return of confi- dence. Yo- The Confidence in the Future, ‘“These disturbing influences are having eir natural effect upon securities, and es- fally on stocks. Since the failure of both cnate and the house to suspend the pur- chases of silver the effect on Wall street has been very manifest, and at London also less interest has been’ apparent in American shares, the demand having centered upon bonds made expressly payable in gold. It secems out of the question to expect any sound recovery of confidence on the stock arket until it has become certain that the government will cease its purchases of silver at o comparatively carly day. Without ~ that thero can bé only distrust; and the more uncertainty on that point increases, the more distrust will grow. Fortunately, thiere is no want of belief any- where in the disposition of Mr. Cleveland to use all his influence with congress to bring about the repeal of the Sherman law. ‘Tho only thing to be apprehended is that the president-elect may choose to defer that nc- tion until u good measure has by for promoting enlarged issues of bank notes It would seem possible to give satisfuctory assurances that legislation on bank currency should follow as quickly as practicable the Sherman act had been repealed, in which case it should be possible to enact the suspension_of silver purchases at a special session in the spring."

In th mpaign he did efficient work for his partner and friend, and during the campaigns that have succeeded he was the same en- thusiastic supporter of “the man of des- tiny.” Aly ble a Mr. Bi; man o1l is a genial and com. Of uncommonly large stature, he naturally attracts attention wherever he may be, and his intellectual qualities soon convince' persons meeting him for the first time that he is a big man other than physically, Aithough a man of strong convictions, resolute and determined, Mr. Bissell uniformly good natured. He s fond of a good joke and is usually the hfe of his own particular circle at the club. Two years ago he was elected president of the Buffalo club. The friendship that has existed between Mr Cleveland and Mr. Bissell almost since the lutter's return to Buffalo from college has been of the most cordial and confidentinl ‘haracter. Mr. Cleveland has always placed great faith in Mr. Bissell's judgment. When Mr. Cleveland was married” Mr. Bissell w. summoned to the white house to act as best man.

Lamont, the coming secretary of war, was, during the first administration of Presigent Cleveland, exceedingly conspicu ous in the public eye—more 80 than any other previous pri s ary of an ex- ecutive except Colonel John Hay. He was born in Cortland county, New York, in 1851 His early life was spent as a clerk in his father’s country store. Ho early turned his attention to politics, and found in that direc- tion a congenial pursuit. Through his own efforts he acquired an academic education Before attaining his majority he was se- lected delegate to the state democratic convention, and held his own with many politicians ~ of age and experie Kven after that time he figured more or less prominently in such assemblages. He was a deputy clerk in his native county. and was chosen a member of | theassembly in 1870, 1571 and 1875, From 1875 | until 1883 he was secretary of the demo cratic state committee, and performed val uable work for the party. This position brought him into intimate personal contact with the leading politicians of the sta and his experience and advice were often of great benefit. He was taken into th fidenco of Sumuel J. Tilden during his ¢ paign for the presidency, having previously enjoyed the closest intimacy with the sage of Gramercy while he was governor of New York. He was appointed chief of staff to GroverCleveland upon his election to the governorship, whence he derived his rank and the title of colonel. When Cleveland was inaugurated as president Colonel Lawmont became his private secretary und served in that capacity with ability and dis cretion through the entire term. ' He had been the managing editor of the Albany gus for several years and his experience that capacity tended to fit him for his new duties, which were discharged with rare fidelity and discretion. At the conclusion of President Cleveland's term of oftice | Colonel Lamont went to New York, where he became president of a street railway com- pany. He is genial and approachable, but always discreet and diplomatic, and his counsel was frequently of great value to President Cleveland. Hilary A. Horbert. Hilary A.
