ous firmness. Chief Justice Chase admin
istered the oath.
After the death of Lincoln, April Is,
Andrew johnson succeeded to the presi-
dency. The oath was administered by
Chief Justice Chase in the presence Of
the cabinet. President johnson made IL
brief address, but there was in ii no dem
onstration.
A striking feature of the first Inaugural
ton of Ulysses s. Grant rs President was
the number of veterans in the crowd
Grant and the retiring President rode in
an open landau, johnson looking sour and
grim, Grant calm and content. Behind
them stretched back long array of polti
cal organizations bedecked in the uniforms
they had worn during the campaign.
There were Tanners, Inyincibles, Wide
Awakes and Grant and Colfax Clubs
Colored Republican clubs were also num-
erous. In the evening the city was illu-
minated. Fireworks were set off, and
there was noise made of hilarious sort.
The ball was a heroic social affair. So
cold was the bathrooms that ladies retain
ed their wraps and gentlemen their coats.
The ice cream froze solid, but nobody
cared; warm drinks were in demand. Mrs.
Grant shivered bravely in white silk, but
the guests went early, and by midnight
the hall was deserted.
The inauguration of X. b. Hayes was
peculiar. Mr.. Hayes took the oath of
office twice. Saturday, March 3, Gov.
and Mrs. Hayes were guests at the White
House They withdrew from the other
guests. their purpose being unknown, and
entered the Red Room with President
Grant. There Gov. Hayes first took the
oath. Once mere the ceremony was per-
formed, this time Chief Justice Waite
publicly administering the oath in the
presence of Senate. House and visitors.
The inaugural address was delivered from
the usual stand. In the evening recep-
ton was given at the White House, a
collation. having been provided by Mrs.
Grant.
The Inauguration of James A. Garfield
was marked by the enthusiasm and dis
play that had become by this time part
of each recurring event. As he began the
delivery of his address the sun broke
through the clouds, and it seemed to all a
happy omen. When he had finished and
applause was yet ringing in his ears the
President turned and kissed his mother.
who had sat unspeakably proud OF her
son, and then kissed his wife.
Again death was the usher, and Chester
A. Arthur was called to the presidency
when his chief lay on the bier. He was in
New York when notified of the necessity
of qualifying. and at once took the oath as
President. This was Sept. 20, 1881.
The inauguration of Cleveland In 1885
and of Harrison the second in 1880 are
too recent to need more than mention
to recall them to the reader. 1t was done

the gentlemen accompanying them had to
fight to guard them against the jostling,
trampling throng, all eager to press near
the platform. In the outskirts of the
crowd there were number of encounters
between rowdies. One Tory who had the
temerity to shout his sentiments that
"Jim Madison ought to be hanged was
set upon and nearly beaten to death, es-
Gaping finally with bruises and the loss of
an eye.
Before the time came for the Inaugural
ton of Monroe the British had burned the
Capitol. The inaugural took place in
Congress Hall and the public ceremony
occurred on platform near the site upon
which new structure was being erected.
The military feature was impressive. As
Monroe took the oath single gun an
nounced the stage of proceedings and mill
tary salutes followed in quick succession
from the navy yard and different organiza-
tions that had participated in the march.
When John Quincy Adams was inaugu-
rated little remained of the Jeffersonian
simplicity of a quarter of a century be-
fore. Al about noon Mr.. Adams left the
door of his residence, with his predeces-
sor, in carriage. The escort was largely
military, and the many handsome uni
forms lent color to an imposing array.
Mr.. adams, dressed in plain suit of
black, ascended to the Speakers chair,
the chief justice just in front. Then the
new President read his address, occupying
forty minutes in its delivery. Among the
prominent people present was Gen. An
drew jackson, and the apparent cordiality
of the frlndclasp between the two was
much commented upon.
There was turmoil in Washington the
day that Andrew Jackson became Presi-
dent. The Inauguration was not the COM
paratively quiet and orderly affair to
which the public had grown accustomed.
The vicinity of the Capitol was like dark
and troubled sea. When jackson appear
ed thousands of heads were barred, and
thousands of faces turning upward chang
ed the aspect of the sea in an instant. But

that won by its quiet and correct dignity,
the Jacksonian tinge of "the wild and
woolly west" that made Old Hickory FAM
Gus, the attendance of guards armed with
rifles to protect the new chief magistrate
on one occasion, and grand and formal,
plain and cheerful, quiet and uproarious
lnaugurations, according as circumstances
and enthusiasm ruled the time.
The first Wednesday in March, 1879,
was the 4th, and it has ever since been
regarded as inauguration day. In the
case of Washington, however, the install
lation became "a postponed event" The
old continental congress failed to meet at
a time assigned, and the result was that
our first President was not officially noti-
fed of his election until April IA. People
Travelled slowly in those days, and it was
not until the 23d, after week through
which he received all possible honors
from the people, that Washington reach
ed Elzabethtown Point, on the New Jer-
sey shore, opposite New York City. Here
he was met by committee of Congress
and deputation of local officials.

The sailors pushed off, other barges fell in

decorated, and as the long procession NOV
ed through them with music and song it
was saluted by cannon and cheers that

was less welcome to the new executive
than farewell to the old.
The hall was filed, and it is related that
there was scarcely dry eye save only
those of Washington. To Mr. Adams
1t seemed that Washington was triumph
ing over him, His look seemed to me"
Wrote MIR. Adams to his wife. ''to say
1 am fairly out and you are fairly in. +"
The general lowered above all those about
him, showing in his worn but calm fea
lures the touch of care that had been
heavy upon him, and that he was the
central figure of the event there can be no
doubt.
The ungracious absence of the acting
President marred the installation of
Thomas Jefferson. Washington had al
reay set the precedent that the outgoing
PRESIDENT should attend his successor
during the ceremony of taking the oath,
when he did the honors at Adams inau-
guration. But before dawn of March 4,
1901, Adams had left Washington. The
day throughout the United States was
celebrated like a new Fourth of July. In
some places the defeated Federalists made
hostile show of their chagrin, but the
rejoicing seemed practically universal.
Win Jefferson came an era of simplicity
that took its character from him. He
had objected to the pomp marking pre-
vious inaugurations. His own was totally
free from this element. He had no estab-
ishment in Washington. He had no
coach. SO Jefferson rode to the Capitol
on horseback unheralded and without es-
cort, tied his horse to the palings of n
convenient fence, and entering, took the
oath. His dress was as plain as tailor
could devise. The second Inauguration
was as devoid of display, but it was under
more pleasant auspices. Jefferson had
been elected by 162 votes against but If
for his opponent, and the electoral col
lege had no new failure to record
James Madison seemed content to con-
tinue the era OF simplicity. His dress at
his Inauguration was of homespun. cir
cumstance in itself sufficient to excite
great enthusiasm. So vast was the con-
course that it seemed the whole popua-
ton had turned out. The escort of cav
airy with difficulty pressed its way
through the mass. Ladies tainted, and

outdid that witnessed at the Capitol.
Orange punch had been provided by the
barrel. The adherents of Jackson crowd
ed to the presidential residence. They
shouted. They stood on damask chairs,
leaving there the imprint of muddy boots.
Go 1t, Andy; we put you there they
yelled. Give 'em fits, Andy" And the
general smiled All the men carried hick-
ory sticks. Many of the women Wore neck
laces made of hickory nuts strung togeth-
er. 1t was the widest scene that ever had
the White House for its setting, and
those who viewed it carried the memory
of II long.
March 4, 1887, the date of the Van
Buren, Inauguration, was as perfect as
could have been desired. Much of the
goodwill shown was for the retiring Pres
ident jackson, tall and erect as ever but
with hair silver white and deep marks of
care upon his face. Old and worn he
was, and, as with Van Buren, by his side
he passed along the line, cheers were for
him. The two rode in Jackson's phaeton,
gift made of wood from the old frgate
Constitution. Van Buren's address was
an effort of oratory, and was listened to
intently.
OF uhyS before the lnhuBufauOn OF
William Henry Harrison the city had
been filling with visitors, many of them
from distance. The military feature of
the parade was the finest that had ever
been seen at Washington. ''Tippecanoe
and Tyler, tool" was the cry of the day.
Mr.. Harrison rode a white horse. He
was attended by seven citizen marshals,
all handsomely mounted. There were
unique figures in the parade. A log cabin
on wheels. drawn by four horses was the
creation of some of the many Tippecanoe
clubs. 1t was applauded from one end
of the line to the other. for this was the
triumphant close of the Log Cabin cam
paign.
Exactly one month after he had taken
the oath of office as Vice-President John
Tyler was called from Williamsburg to
assume the duties of the presidency Will
liam Henry Harrison lived but thirty days
after having taken place in the White
House. When Tyler arrived an effort
was made to induce him to take an oath
as acting President, but this he refused
to do. His refusal was constitutional
and was accepted later as a precedent in
the cases of Fillmore, johnson and Ar
thur.

making of Presidents AT these installa-
tions the usual formalities were rigor-
ously observed and the usual throngs were
present. Perhaps the inaugural ball
which signalzed Cleveland's second inau-
guration was as impressive an event as
had characterized such function for
many years. 1t was preceded by mag
nificent parade, and the ballroom contain
ed 10000 persons representing the Dower
of Americas sons and daughters. The
ceremonies had n certain military tinge
from beginning 10 end that lent unusual
briliancy to the event.

was bare and his powdered hair was tied
behind in fashionable bag. Chancellor
Livingston repeated the oath of office and
Washington kissed the page. 1T is DONE
said the Chancellor. Then waving his
hand he shouted to the multitude: Long
live George Washington, President of the
United States!"
When Washington for the second time
took the oath of Office there was less pub
lie demonstration than on the first occa-
sion. The seat of government had by that
time been removed to Philadelphia, and
the inaugural was held in Congress Hall.
The inauguration of John Adams was
notable chiefly for its dual character. 1t
