the request. He received no answer, he
said, but in November and December

by the postoflice department to have
formed the basis for the demand, bur

Washington. The story that he rode
alone to the Capitol, hitched his horse
to the fence and walked into the Senate
unattended is myth, for the newspapers
of that time show that a battery Of ar
tillery and a procession of citizens
corted him from his tavern, whittier he
marched afoot to the old Senate, where
salute of artillery greeted him. From
the Senate he did not go directly to the
White House, for he and Adams had had
a falling out over the latter's nomination
near midnight of the night before of
number of federal officials. whose four
year terms were thus made to cover JEFF
ferson's administration. Adams and his
family had left Washington at sunrise,
taking no part in the Inauguration and
leaving only servants to welcome Jeffer-

not receive this cold welcome until the
evening, when there was a general IL

Gen. Washington was nearly two months
late for the first set Inauguration day. or
at least the first Wednesday in March, y

ceedings" under the new Constitution.
The officers of the First Congress tried to
get its members together on that day,
which happened to fall on March 4. but
because its members were mostly farm
ers. loath to leave their plantations be-
fore the spring planting. there were con-
tinuous adjournments on account OF no
quorum for more than a month, or until
April e. when the electoral vote was
counted. Committees were thereupon APP
pointed to notify Washington and Adams,
the victors. and the latter managed to
coach it from Massachusetts to New
York in time to be sworn In as vice
President on April 30.
But the ship of state had to drift ten
days more without a skipper and with
only the first mate in command. Mean
while Washington jOurneying to
New York on horseback, passing through
triumphal arches and over pathways OF
flowers strewn by pretty maidens in the
towns traversed. At last he arrived at
Gov. Clinton's house. New York. and the
morning of April 30 his carriage was
thence escorted by a body of troops and
a civic parade to Federal Hall.
This set the precedent for an inaugural
parade. With the general rode Col
bias Lear. his private secretary. At Fed
eral Hall they were formally received by
special inaugural committees. Then Vice
President Adams escorted Washington to
the outer gallery or balcony of the
hall. where in full view of the numer-
Gus street crowds Chancellor Livingston
administered the oath. Next a crier pro-
claimed: Long live George Washing
ton. President of the United States"
The general then proceeded within to
the Senate chamber. where he made a
speech which established the precedent
for the inaugural addresses delivered
ever since. Another precedent set at this
time by Washington was the wearing of
clothes of American wool during the
oathtaking. From the Senate the whole
assemblage, headed by Washington, pro-
ceeded direct to ST. Paul's Church. where
prayers were read by Bishop Provost.
and the day wound up with fireworks, as
in our time.
