WHEN JEFFERSON TOOK OATH

predecessors. The President-elect was

toll by Aaron Burr. whom Jefferson
cordially distrusted. And the oath of
office was administered by one of his
bitterest enemies, Chief Justice Mar
shall, who had been appointed to of
fee by Adams in the closing days of
the administration, an act which JEFF
ferson regarded as not only an i'm
propriety but a personal atfront. JEFF
Persons feelings towards Burr and
Marshall were well known.
Then the new president was escort
ed TO the senate chamber, where he
delivered his inaugural address, one
of the most notable of all such
speeches. He was afterward escorted
to his boarding house, where he re-
ceived the congratulations of the for
eign diplomats and of the leaders of
the popular party. who rejoiced over
the defeat of the FederaliSts.
