How George Washington Became
President at Federal Hall in
New York City.
FALSE STORY Of JEFFERSON
"Simplieity" Of His Inauguration q
Myth Traced to English Writer
Jackson Fairly Mobbed by
Motley Throng.
BY EDWARD WEBSTER.

From the very beginning of the ma
tion, Inauguration day has generally
been a day Of display and fcstiyity
for the people of the United States,
though at times national conditions
have made it an occasion more solemn
than joyous, But always the induction
OF new president has been note
worthy and interesting event.
When George Washington was in.
augurated the first president in 1889,
New York was the temporary capital
of the young nation, and II was there
that the ceremony took place after
General Washington had ridden from
his home at Mount Vernon in what
was much like triumphal progress.
Welcomed to New York.
Arriving at Elizabethtown Point.
n. j., on April 23, he entered barge
rowed by IL pilots clad in white.
and passed through the Kill Won Kull
into New York harbor, which was full
of all manner of craft gaily decorated
and loaded with cheering crowds. The
Spanish man of war Galveston broke
out the colors Of all nations, and
fired salute Of l3 guns, to which the
American frigate North Carolina re-
sponded.
Finally, on April 80, all was ready
for the Inauguration. Washington
was escorted to Federal hall, then
the capitol, which stood on the site of
the present sub-treasury at Wall and
Broad streets. The streets had been
filled since sunrise with waiting
crowds, and the enthusiasm was in
tense. In the senate chamber Wash
ington was joined by Adams. Knox,
Hamilton. Won Steuben and few 9TH
ers, and all of them appeared on the
balcony. Robert X. Livingston, chan.
cellor of New York, administered the
oath and cried Long live George
Washington, president of the United
States," whereupon there broke out
a mighty tumult Of cheering. bell.ring-
ing and the noise Of cannon. Re,
turning to the senate chamber, Pres.
ident Washington read his inaugural
address and the history Of the
United States under the constitu.

doubt you believe that Thomas Jeffer-
son rode unattended to the capitol on
horseback, tied his horse to the

Formation of Parade.
The military and the civil parade. a
huge affair which stretched it's
length for miles along the Washington
streets, formed on the avenues radiat-
ing from the capitol. After President
elect Wilson had become President
Wilson and ce-President-elect Mar
shall had become Vice-President
Marshall, they went straightway from

thence shortly to the reviewing stand

The inauguration of Jefferson, which
marked the defeat of the Federalist
party OF Hamilton. Washington,
Adams and Jay, was the first to take
place in Washington. The newly es.
tablished national capital, then but
a few months old contained only 5000
Inhabitants. many of them negroes:
the houses were mostly huts and the
streets muddy roads. The big event
was thus described in the Philadelphia
Aurora Of March IL; 1901:
"At an early hour on Wednesday,

sented a spectacle of uncommon ami

the masses were too hilarious to heed
the request. The weather was pleas
ant and the east front of the capitol
was used for the first time for the in
auguration. In front Of it surged
10000 persons who were restrained
only by great iron chain. Jackson
rode to the capitol on white horse
and went through the ceremonies with
dignity, and started back to the White
House. Then began his troubles, for
the people broke loose with ven-
geance.

who should first gain admittance into
the executive mansion, where it was
understood that refreshments would
be distributed" wrote contempo-
rary, Mrs. Samuel Harrison Smith. In
their mad rush the crowds smashed
furniture and dishes and seized the
food as If they were starving. The
confusion became more and more al
palling. At one moment the presi-
dent. who had retreated until he was
pressed against the wall OF the apart
ment, could only be secured against
serious danger by a number of gen.
tlemen linking arms and forming
themselves into a barrier. 1t was
then that the windows were thrown
open, and the living throng found an
outlet. 1t was the peoples day, the
peoples president, and the people
would rule"
Too Much for Harrison.
For IL years the Democrats con-
trolled the destinies OF the country,
and then the Wings elected William
Henry Harrison. who was inaugurated
March 4, 1S41. BY this time trans
portation was made easier by the
building OF railways and the crowd
that Hooked to Washington was i'm
mense. 1t was much better behaved
than that which "honored" Jackson,
but 1t was hungry for offices.
Cold, wintry blasts swept the streets
OF Washington that March day, and
Harrison, already old and rather
feeble. rode his white horse without
cloak or overcoat, and with his hat
off In salute to the cheering crowds.
The line Of march was unprecedent-
edly long. and so was the inaugural
address, and then the president led
the procession back to the White
House. The exposure was too much for
him and within one month he was
dead
When Lincoln Took Hold.
Immensely dramatic was the first
inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in
1861. From the day of his election
threats against his life were numer.
Gus, and detectives discovered and
foiled an organized plot to assassinate
him on his way to Washington. The
big bodies OF troops that had been
employed at former inaugurations
merely to add pomp to the occasion
now were used for the protection of
the president.
The day had opened cloudy, chilly
and dismal, but as the president step
ped forward TO take the oath from
the aged Chief Justice Taney the sun
burst through the clouds and shone
full on the bowed head OF the man
who was to give up his life for the
country he loved Lincoln himself
noticed this ''sunburst'' and drew
from 1t happy augury.

America rode In this division. Their
pink coats and their high hats ap.
parently were not thought to Jar
"Jeifersonian simplicity" from its
seat. Pink coats were worn ON the
hunting field in Jefferson's day and in
Jefferson's state.
There were 1000 Princeton students
In the civic section of the parade.
Many of them wore orange and black
sweaters and they were somewhat
noisy though perfectly proper. stu-
dents from seventeen other colleges
and universities were among the
marchers.
Cheering 10 Continuous.
All along Pennsylvania avenue, from
the capitol to a point four block be.
yond the White House, the spectators
were massed in lines ten deep. The
cheering was constant and Woodrow
Wilson cannot complain that the cere-
monies attending his induction into
Office were not accompanied by ap-
pie over whom he Is to ruh for at
least fOur years.
Every window in every building or
Pennsylvania avenue which is not no
cupied for Office purposes was rented
weeks ago for good round sum OF
money. Every room overlooking the
marching parade was taken by e,
many spectators as cound find want
age point from which to peer through
the window panes. The roofs OF ths
buildings were covered with persons
willing to stand for hours In March
day to see the wonders of the inaugu-
raj parade, and many OF them partic.
ularly glad OF an opportunity to go
home and to say that after many years
waiting they had seen Democratic
president inaugurated.
