A Term of, 'J-T'Democritic. 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 ex-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 formed 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-
seeded 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-
augural 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 notes, was
spbken 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
everything 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 power 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! Representatives to do their ut-
most tofulfill the promises and pledges
that the party has given to the country.
Contrary to the reports already pub-
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.
For the second 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.
GROVER CLEVELAND.
Grover Cleveland was born on March
13, 1837, in Caldwell, Essex county, N. .I.
On the paternal side he traces his ances-
try bad: in a direct line to Moses Cleve-
land, who emigrated from England and
settled at Woburn, Mass., in 1635.
Grover Cleveland as a boy was a clerk
in a country store and later an assistant
teacher in the New York Institution for
the Blind. In 1855 he went to Buffalo
and became a clerk in a law firm at $4
per week. He studied law and was ad-
mitted to the bar in 1859. In 1863 he was
appointed Assistant District Attorney
for Erie County and held the office for
three years. He was elected Sheriff of
the county in 1870. He continued to
practice law until 1881, when he was
elected Mayor of Buffalo. The'following
year he was elected Governor of New
York by the phenomenal majority of
192,854. In July 18“! the National Demo-
cratic Convention nominated him for
President and in the following Novem-
ber he was elected, receiving 219 electoral
votes to 182 for the late James G. Blaine.
Mr. Cleveland was married in the White
House, June 2, 1886. to Frances Folsom,
daughter of his deceased friend and
former law partner, Os‘car Folsom.

Mr. Stevenson was born in Christian

twenty years old. Immediately after

daughter of the President of the college.
Mr. Stevenson entered the law office of

HENRY T. THURBER.
Who Will Fill Lamont’s Old Place as
Prlvntc Secretary.
Mr. Cleveland has appointed as his pri-
vate secretary, Henry T. Thurber of De-
troit, Mich., a law partner of Don M.
Dickinson, the firm being Dickinson,
Stevenson and Thurber.
Mr. Thurber comes of a long line of
Democratic ancestors. His father was
the late Jefferson G. Thurber, ex-Speaker
of the Michigan House, and for many
years one of the prominent figures in the
party in that State. His brother is the
distinguished _ Rev. Dr. Edward G.

Mr. Thurber has a charming family.
His wife is a granddaughter of the late
Gen. Hugh Brady, of historic fame in
two wars, and is one of the most accom-
plished and beloved women in Detroit
seciety.
SECRETARY OF STATE.
Judge \antcr Q. Gresham at the Head
of the Cabinet.
When Mr. Cleveland tendered and
Judge Gresham accepted the post of Sec-
retary of State expressions of surprise
were heard on every side. That a Presi-
dent should sppoint as his Premiers man
who up to within a few months had been
conspicuously identified with the oppo-
site party seemed unaccountable. But
while many criticized the appointment
from a political standpoint, no one be-
littled Judge Gresham’s ability, or
doubted his fitness for the position.
Judge Walter Q. Gresham is one of the
fewremaining log-cabin statesmen. He
was born on March 17, 1832, in an old-
fashioned farm-house, near Lanesville,
Harrison County, Ind.
Walter went to the district school and
when he'was sixteen years old an oppor-
tunity came to attend Corydon Seminary.
He got a clerkship in the County Audi-
tor’s office, and this paid his board and
school expenses. He spent two years at
Corydon, then a year at Bloomington
University, and on his return to Corydon
he got a place in the County Clerk’s
office. Here he studied law, having en-
tered his name in the office . of Judge
William A. Porter. He was admitted to
the bar when twenty-two years old and
began to practice.
He was a Whig in politics and joined
the Republican party as soon as it was
organized. He was nominated for the
Legislature in'1860 as a Republican and
was elected, though his district had a
normal Democratic majority of 500.
When the war broke out he enlisted as a
private in the Thirty-eighth Regiment.
Almost immediately be was made its
lieutenant-colonel. At Vicksburg he
met Grant. After the surrender Grant
and Sherman united in recommending
Gresham for a brigadier’s commission,
and he received it. He was shot in the
knee while in command of a division of
Sherman’s army at Leggett’s Hill before
Atlanta.
wanna o. ons'sna‘m.
When Gresham was ready to stamp to
f
the front again the war had ended. in
1865 he was 'br'evetted major: general, and
being mustered out, began the , practice,
of law. at,New Albany, Ind. ' -
He twice ran for Congress and was ‘de-
feated by Michael C. Kerr. In 1869 Pres-
ident, Grant appointed him United States
District Judge for Indiana. .‘ _
President Arthur called him from the
bench to become a member of his Cabi-
net in 1883. He took the portfolio left
vacant by the death of Postmaster-Gen-
eral Howe. Near the close of President
Arthur’s term, on the death. of Secretary
Folger, Judge Gresham was appointed
Secretary of the Treasury.
W hen he resigned his Cabinet position
it was to become United States Judge for
the Seventh Judicial District.
SECRETARY OF THE TREASURY.
Ex-Senutor John G. Cnrllsle to Handle
the Finances.
As Secretary of the Treasury Mr.
Cleveland selected that sterling Demo-
crat whose name last year was frequently
used as a presidential possibility, ex- Sen-
ator John G. Carlisle, of Kentucky.
Like so many of the strong men of the
country, Senator Carlisle began his life
in immediate contact with the soil. His
father, Lincoln H. Carlisle, was a small
farmer in what is now Kenton, Ky., but
was in 1835, when John G. was born, in
Campbell county.
He had to start life with a common
school education, a studious mind and
an unswerving will. He improved his
learning by study at home after follow-
ing the plough. When he was still in
his teens he taught school. His leisure
time gave him an opportunity to read
law books, and a year or two later he
JOHN G. CARLISLE.
moved to Covington, Ky., and became a
clerk in the law office of Governor J. W.
Stevenson. ‘
Carlisle was twenty-three years old
when he was admitted to the bar. He
was already instructed in politics and
when he was twenty-four years old he
was elected a member of the lower house
of the Kentucky Legislature. He served
there four terms. In 1864 he declined to
be a Presidential Elector on the Demo-
cratic ticket and in 1866 was elected State
Senator. Carlisle rose rapidly. He was
re-elected to the Senate. He was Lieu-
tenant Governor of Kentucky from 1871
to 1875 and was one of the alternate Til-
1,1887% Electors at Large from Kentucky in
Samuel J. Randall, whom he was to
overthrow, and whom he resembled in
character, habits, disposition and most
of all in build and facial appearance, was
a power in Congress when Mr. Carlisle
was first elected. This was to the Forty-
fifth Congress. Here he met two men
who were to be his companions in many
a hard fought battle against the Repub-
licans and too often against their own
party—Roger Q. Mills, of Texas, and
William R. Morrison, of Illinois. They
were the “ Three Guardsmen ” of tariff
reform. In the Forty-sixth Congress
Carlisle, Mills and Morrison served side
by side on the Committee on Ways and
Means.
SECRETARY or WAR.
Daniel S. Lamont, the President’s Old
Privntc Secretary.
There was but little surprise mani-
fested when it was announced that 001.

of War. During Mr. leveland’s first

administration “Dan” was his private
secretary and so close had the friendship
between them continued that it was a
certainty that he was billed for some
portfolio in the new cabinet.
Col. Lamont was born in the little town
of Cortlandville, Cortland county, N. _Y.
His father kept a country store and he
began life as a clerk in that establish-
ment. He attended the village school
and graduated from Union College in
1872. Edgar K. Apgar, one of Gov. Til-
den’s most trusted lieutenants, became
Mr. Lamont’s political sponsor, and
when he was nineteen years of age he
was made a deputy clerk at Albany,
where he served two years. Mr. Lamont
at twenty was a delegate to the famous
State Convention at Rochester which fol-
lowed the attack of Gov. Tilden upon
the Tweed ring.
Daniel Manning was one of the men
who saw Mr. Lamont’s political adroit-
ness and true judgment as soon as Mr.
Cleveland did, and he got him in the ser-
vice of the Albany Argus.
When Cleveland was Governor Lamont
was his private secretary and when
elected to the presidency he took “ Dan ”
along to the same capacity.
Since leaving the White House Mr.
Lamont has been largely identified with
the street railroad interests of New York
and is new president or director of sev-
eral companies.
He has a charming family. Mrs. La-
mont was Miss Julia Kinney, of Cort-
land county. He was married in 1874,
and there are three children aged eleven,
nine and four. 53

SECRETARY OF THE INTERIOR.
Hoke Smith, the Original Cleveland

When it was given out that the Secre-
tary of the Interior would be Hoke Smith,

turned the tide of Georgia sentiment
from Senator Hill to Cleveland last fall.
Mr. Smith is thirty-eight years old and
was born in North Carolina.

He found time to start a newspaper.
[n this he was the pioneer of printing in
Nebraska. The paper was the Nebraska
