WashingtOn's Idea.

1t was Washington who, to a large
extent, devised the plan of Presi-
dents inaugural. In this respect, as
in others, his work has stood the test
of time. 1t will endure, too, for SO
long as the nation may live, in its
original form of beautiful and i'm
pressive simplicity.
Washington was inducted into Of
flee at New York. At the time of no.
tificatoin of his election, he was re-
siding at his beautiful country home,
Mount Vernon. He proceeded to the
then seat of government on horse
back In coaches and in eight-oared
barges. His journey was a triumph
al march. No such scenes of enthu-
siasm ever had been witnessed in
this country as attended his progress
The country people gave him hearty
greeting by the road-side; in Phila-
delphia the citizens had decorated
the streets and buildings elaborately
and he rode on a splendid milk-white
charger beneath triumphal arches;
and in towns and hamlets farther
east his pathway was strewn with
| flowers by women and children.
Details of the ceremony attendant
upon the administration of the oath
of Office were worked out afer his
arrival in New York. 1t took place
in the old Federal building, which
| then was the seat of the Congress
and the oath was administered By
| Chancellor Livingston. The frs
President was waited upon by com
mittees of the House and Senate a
his temporary abiding place and al
escort of regular United State:
troops accompanied him to the "Capi
tol," He was driven in a handsome
coach and as he had no predecessor
he was alone in the carriage. WheI
the announcement was made formal
| ly that Washington had taken tn,
| obligation which made him the frs
President of the United States, thu
multitude waiting outside of th'
building gave itself up to an enthu
siastic demonstration. Speecehs wer,
delivered and patiotic songs wer,
sung, and that night there was dis
play of fireworks.
The second Inauguration of Wash
ington took place in Philadelphia
While the ceremony was more elabo
rate, in it's Accomplishments, than tn
first had been it remained, as always
in it's essential form, simple and i'm
pressive Washington was conveye
to the Capitol in handsame coac
drawn by six white horses. His attir
was notably elegant, being of bIac
velvet, with diamond-studded buck
les, silk hose and cooked hat
