The Columbus Stamps.
Those smart people who think. they
show their superiority by finding fault
with every kind of public work, says
the Philadelphia Times, have not yet
got done sharpening their wits on tho
Columbian postage stamps. They have
had great fun over the fact that the
face of Columbus is not the same on all
the stamps, being evidently ignorant
that the engravings are made from pic-
tures by different artists and that there
is equal authority for representing Co-
lumbus with or without a beard.
The most surprising thing of all is
that anybody should be unfamiliar with
Vanderlyn’s picture of the landing on
San Salvador, which is engraved on the
two-cent stamp. The original hangs in
the rotunda of the Capitol, and the en-
graving on the back of the five-dollar
national bank notes has made it one of
the best known of American paintings.
There had been no very careful re-
search in Vanderlyn’s time, and histor-
ical accuracy was somewhat less ar-
dently pursued than picturesque effect, ,
yet he was not without authority for
painting Columbus bearded, and the
engravers of the new stamp would have
been justly to blame if they had at-
tempted to alter Vanderlyn’s work. On
the other had,a painter of to-day might
conclude that the-“weight of evidence,on
the whole, favored the shaven face, and
he would be justified in presenting his
ideal of the explorer without a heard,
as in thegroup on the one-cent stamp.
The ignorance of what may be re-
garded as standard pictures is further
illustrated in the supposed discovery of
the Augusta Chronicle,.to which a cor-
respondent calls attention, that the pic-
ture on the two-cent stamp is not of
Columbus at all, but of DeSoto discov-
cring the'Mississippi. This is the worst
yet. The DeSoto picture is also in the
Capitol and is also familiar through en-
gravings. It was painted by Powell,
and pretty bad It is, artificial, theatri-
cal and impossible. Still it has an his.
torical place in the development of
American art and it oughtnot to be un-
known to any one who presumes pub-
licly to criticise the work of the gov-
ernment engravers. It does not look
at all like the Columbus picture.
There are some kinds of government
work in which we do not get the most
artistic results, but the engraving done
for the Treasury Department and most
of that done for the Post Office is un-
cxcellcd, and the wise-acres who are
making merry over the new stamps
simply display their own ignorance.

RHODY__ll_RllIVES. r
The' Visitor Received and Enter-
tained at the National Capital.
A Bad Stonm but Rhody’s Ardor Not
Damnened. .
When the 10.11 New York express
slowly pulled through the crowd at the
South Norwalk depot yesterday morn-
ing, Mayor Rhody McGinnis, the prize
winner, was placed aboard, and in com-
pany with Mr. J amcs Sutherland and a
GAEETTE representative started on his
way towards Washington. When Stain-
ford was reached a number of promi-
nent people of that town were at the
depot to cheer him on his way.. Rhody
took off his hat and politely bowed as
the train drew out of the depot. ‘ At
the Grand Central depot the uniformed
employees of the Consolidated, togeth-
- er With a large delegation of the Rail-
way Mail service boys, were drawn up
in line‘ and as Rhody passed they wished
him a hearty good bye. He was soon
on the Third avenue elevated where he
attracted considerable attention, and
many New Yorkers craned their necks
to read the handsome badge pinned on
his breast. At the Brooklyn Bridge
entrance Rhody alighted and expressed
himself as follows : “ I’m domed glad
to get out of that thing, and when I
come home Rhody will take the strate
cars.” He vlsited the New York Sun
office and was cordially greeted by the
newspaper boys, after which he was es-
corted to the Liberty street ferry and
taken to Jersey City, where he took
dinner. As soon as dinner was over
he was placed in a handsome rcd plush
covered chair'on the Royal Blue train
of the B. & 0. road, and promptly at
1.42 p. in. the train pulled out for Wash-
ington with Rhody waving adieu to his
escort. .
The gorgeous Royal Blue flyer with
“ Rhody ” aboard, arrived in‘ \Vashing-
ton at Midnight last night, six hours
late. Notwithstanding the lateness of
the hour and a violent rain storm, the
GAZETTE’S Washington representative
was on hand to receive him and wel.
come hiinto the National Capital.
This morning Rhody was up early
and in company with an escort he visi-
ted Congress, the President’s mansion
and all of the public buildings. At
noon he witnessed the inaugural pa-
rade, which started from the White
House in a terrible snow cyclone, but
the fact of a storm raging did not
dampen his ardor.
The GAZETTE representative at Wash-
ington has supplied him with a ticket
to the inaugural ceremonies at the cap-
itol to-day, as well as a ticket for the
great inaugural ball, which will be held
in the Pension ofiice to-night.

Happy Ending of a. Practical Joke.
It is not often, says the Danbury
News, that a practical joke turns out
so happily as did that now celebrated
one on Roger McGinnis, of Norwalk,
lfiellzfer known as the?“ Mayor of Cobble
1 .7)
GAZETTE started a contest for the most
popular man in that town, the winner
to have his expenSes paid‘ to Washing-
ton to witness the inaugural ceremon-
ies. Simply as a joke some one sent _in
a few ballots for “ Rhody ” McGinnis.
Then some of the men about town took
an interest in the contest for the pur-
pose of making the joke more complete
and a shower of ballots was ruined upon
the GAZETTE office. :f‘ Rhody ” was
Soon in the lead and at the close of the
contest he was several thousand ahead
of the next highest man. The result
was that this morning “ Rhody ” started
for Washington.
The winner of the contest is an old
and respected Irishman, who has lived
in Norwalk for several scores of years.
He is convivial in his habits, short in
stature and eccentric in dress. By
thrift and industry he has secured a
snug-property and is considered well-
to-do. He has been a town character
ever since the oldest inhabitant first
knew him. . .
He will be one of the most interest-
ing sights in Washington to-morrow.
His outfit for the occasion is a full
dress suit with a silk hat, patent-leather
shoes and a dainty overcoat of fine tex-
ture, The entire outfit is of the finest
%[uality and of ultra-fashionable cut.
e rode to the railroad train in the fin-
est sleigh to be had, drawn by a pair of
spanking horses driven tandem. The
driver was in full livery. Behind
him was an elegant two-seated sleigh
drawn by four white horses.
The arrival of the teams at the station
created more excitement than South
Norwalk has experienced in many a
day. Nearly 1,500 persons assembled
to bid “Rhody ” a hearty godspeed.

Mr. Seymour Confirmed:
In the Senate yesterday the nomina-
tion of Hon John S. Seymour of Nor-
walk, to be Insurance Commissioner,
was confirmed. The motion was made
to confirm Mr. Seymour, and carried
by a viva voce vote, Senator Phelps
voting in the negative. . The point of
no quorum was raised, but was not
considered. Senator Seymour was de-
clared as confirmed. It takes thirteen
senators to make a quorum, and there
could not be a quorum unless the lieu-
tenant governor could be considered
as a member for this purpose.
The constitution provides that when
the lieutenant governor shall be acting
as governor he shall not preside as
president of the senate. Mr. Cady‘ is
now acting as governor, having signed
bills as acting governor in the absence
from the state of Governor Morris, and
the point will be raised that he cannot.
legally preside over or vote in the sen-
ate at the same time. The whole mat-
ter will doubtless have to be settled by
the courts, as Mr. Fyler, it is under-
stood, will not yield up the office with-
out a fight in the courts.

A Term of _ Democratic Rule
Began at Noon Today.
THOUSANDS THRONGED THE
CAPITAL STREETS.
Simple Exercises--A Great Pageant.
The Inaugural.
WASHINGTON, March 4.——Today at noon
Benjamin Harrison ceased t o be President
of the United States, and Grover Cleve-
land took the oath of office as his suc-'
cessor.
Aside from the ceremonies that popular
custom added to those that are essential,
the function was a simple one. President
Harrison took Mr. Cleveland to the Capi-
tol in his carriage, and Mr. Harrison’s
carriage carried back President Cleveland
and tax-President Harrison. There were
crowds, salutes and the cheers of victori-
ous Democratic hosts as they marched up
Pennsylvania avenue after the exercises
in the Senate Chamber.
The first division of the first grand di-
vision iormed along the First street
border of the Capitol grounds, the sec-
ond formed in Maryland avenue, the
third in South Capitol street and the
fourth in B street. The first division of
the second grand division arranged itself
in First street, the second in New Jersey
avenue, the third in South Capitol street,
the fourth in Delaware avenue, the fifth
in Delaware avenue northeast and the
sixth in New Jersey avenue.
From these rallying points around the
Capitol grounds the marching bodies pro-
ceeded up Pennsylvania. avenue, by the
White House grounds,where the official re-
viewing stand was placed, out to Twenty-
second street, Where the Grand Marshal,
Gen. McMahon, reviewed the men and
the parade was dismissed. It is esti«
mated that more than 50,000 men were in
line. Hundreds of thousands of people
lined the streets, crowded the stands and
occupied every conceivable position
whence the pageant might be seen.
The inaugural address was one of the
shortest, perhaps the shortest of all in-
‘Iugural addresses delivered by incoming
Presidents of the United States. Its de-
livery occupied about 15 minutes. It was
not read, but, with the exception of a.
reference now and then to notcs,was.
spoken to the great audience assembled
at the east end of the Capitol.
Mr. Cleveland dwelt largely on the
monetary question and deplored the
present financial situation. He said that
so far as the executive power is concerned,
BVerything that is possible within the
Constitution and law will be done to pre-
vent a depreciation of the currency, and
that the Whole power of the Administra-
tion will be put forth to bring about the
restoration of confidence in the money
of the country. He said nothing about
the prospects of an extra session of Con-
gress beyond What is implied in his dec-
laration that there must not be permitted,
so far as the executive branch of the Gov-
ernment has the power to prevent, a de-
preciation of any form of the currency.
He also said that the people have placed
the Democratic party in powar in both
the executive and legislative branches of
the Government, and that it is the duty
of the Administration and of the Demo-
cratic majorities in the Senate and the
House of Representatives to do their ut-
most to fulfill the promises and pledges
that the party has given to the country.
Contrary to the reports already pu b-
lished, Mr. Cleveland did not utter a. word
concerning the proposed annexation of
Hawaii nor concerning the relations of
the United States to any foreign power.
Fer the secdnd time since the war of
the Rebellion the Democratic party is in
power, and for the first time it is in Con--
trol of all branches of the Government.
For the second time Grover Cleveland,
who has been thrice nominated for the
presidency, takes his seat as the Chief
Magistrate of the nation, as a result of
the election in November last, when he
received 277 electoral votes to 145 for
Benjamin Harrison and 22 for James B.
Weaver, and polled 5,556,533 against
5,175,577 for Harrison.
