INAUGURAL DAYS
OF FORMER YEARS
How George Washington Became
President at Federal Hall in
New York City.
FALSE STORY OF JEFFERSON
"Simplicity" of His Inauguration a
Myth Traced to English Writer
Jackson Fairly Mobbed by
Motley Throng.
By EDWARD WEBSTER.
From tho very beginning of tho na
tion, Inauguration day has generally
been a day of display and festivity
for tho people of the United States,
though at times national conditions
havo madu it an occasion more solemn
than Joyous, Hut always tho Induction
,of a now president has been a note
worthy and Interesting event.
When George Washington was in
augurated the first president In 175)0.
.New York was tho temporary capital
of tho young nation, and It was thcro
ithat tho ceremony took place after
General Washington had liddeu from
his homo at Mount Vernon In what
was much llko n triumphal progress.
Welcomed to New York.
Arriving at Ellzabothtown Point,
N. J., on April 21!, ho entered a bargo
rowed by 12 .pilots clnd In white,
nnd passed through tho Kill von Kull
Into New York harbor, which was full
of nil manner of craft gaily decorated
nnd loaded with cheering crowds. The
Spanish man of war Galveston broke
out tho colors of all nations, nnd
fired a snluto of 1!! guns, to which the
American frigate North Carolina re
sponded. Finally, on April 30, all was ready
for tho Inauguration. Washington
waB escotted to Federal hall, then
tho capltol,' which stood on the slto of
the present sub-treasury at Wall and
llrond Btroets. The streets had been
filled slnco sunrise with waiting
crowds, and tho enthusiasm was In
tense. In tho sonntu chamber Wash
ington was joined by Adams, Knox,
Hamilton, von Steuben nnd a Tew oth
ers, nnd all of thorn uppearod on the
balcony. Robert H. Livingston, chan
cellor of Now York, ndmlnlhtorod tho
oath and cried "Long Hvo George
Washington, president of tho United
States," whereupon thcro brokn out
a mighty tumult of cheering, bell-ringing
and tho nolso of cannon. Re-i
turning to tho senato chamber, Pres
ident Washington read hl3 inaugural
address and the history of tho
United States under tho constitu
tion began.
Jefferson Story False.
If you nro a good Domocrat, no
doubt you bellovo that Thomas .letter
Bon rodo unattended to tho capltol on
Ihorsoback, tied his horso to the
ffence, nnd was Inaugurated with less
jcercmony than would attend the tak
ing of ofllco by a keeper of a dog
tpound. Such is tho old story, but It
;ls puro myth and Is first found In
a book of travels In tho United
States written by John Davis, an Kng--llshman.
Davis asserted that ho was
(nn eyo-wItncsB of tho simple ceremony
-which ho described, but It has been

proved thnt ho wna not In WnBh
ington at tho time.
Tho inauguration of Jefferson, which
marked tho defeat of tho Fedorallst
party of Hamilton, Washington,
Adams and Jay, waB tho first to tako
placo In Washington. Tho newly es
tablished national qapltal, then hut
a few months old, contained only 15,000
Inhabitants, many of them negroes;
tho houses wero mostly huts and tho
Etrcets muddy roads. Tho big event
was thus described in tho Philadelphia
Aurora of March 11; 1801:
"At an early hour on Wednesday,
March 4, tho city of Washington pro
Rented a spectaclo of uncommon ani
mation occasioned by tho addition to
Its usual population of a largo body
of citizens from tho ndjacent dlatrlctu,
A dlachnrgo from tho company of

company of artillery pnraded In front
of Hit) President's lodgings. At 12
o'clock Thomas Jefferson, attended by
a iiumhsjr of IiIb fellow citizens, among
whom were many members of con
gress, repaired to the capltol. HIb
dress was, as usual, that of a plain
eltlcn, without any distinctive badge
of office. He entered tho cnpltol un
der a discharge from tho nrtlllery. As
soon ns ho withdraw a discharge from
the nrtlllery wns made. Tho remain

poses of festivity, and nt night thcro
wns a pretty general llhtmlnntlou."
"Man of the People."
When Andrew Jackson wns elected
In tho fall of 1828 tho peoplo of tho
west and tho radical olomonts of tho
south scored a triumph and ho was
hailed as n "man of tho people." This
character wiib emphasized on the tiny
uf his inauguration tho following
March, for novor before hnd such a
huge motley throng gathered in Wash'
Ington. Jackson's wife had died not
long before, nnd lie asked that the
ceremonies be made very simple, but

tho massca wero too hilarious to heed
tho request. The weather waB pleas
ant and the enst front, of tho capltol
wns used for tho first time for tho In
auguration, in front of It surged
10,000 perEons who wero restrained
only by n great. Iron chcln. Jackson
rodo to tho capltol on a white horse
and went through tho ceremonies with
dignity, and started bnck to the White
Houso. Then began his troubles, for
tho peoplo broko looso with a ven
geance. "Tho president was literally pursued
by a motley concourso of people, tid
ing, running, helter-skelter, striving
who should first gain admittance Into
the executive mansion, wheio It was
understood that refreshments would
bo distributed," wroto a contumpo
rnry, Mrs. Samuol Harrison Smith. In
their mad rush tho crowds smashed
furniture and dishes and seized tho
food as If they wero starving. "Tho
confusion became mora and mora ul
palling. At ono moment tho presi
dent, who hnd retreated until ho was
pressed against tho wall of tho npnrt
ment, could only bo secured agnhist
serious danger by a number of gen
tlemen linking nrniB nnd forming
themselves Into a barrier. It waB
thon that tho windows wore thrown
opon, and tho living throng found an
outlet. It was tho people's day, tho
pcoplo's president, and tho peoplo
would rule."
Too Much for Harrison.
For 12 yenrs tho Democrats con
trolled tho destinies of tho country,
nnd thon tho Whigs elected William
Henry Harrison, who was Inaugurated
March 4, 1811. Uy this tlmo trans
portntlon wns mado easier by tho
building of railways and tho crowd
that fiocked to Washington was im
mense. It was much better behaved
than that which "honored" Jackson,
but it was hungry for offices.
Cold, wintry blasts Bwopt tho streets
of Washington that March day, and
Harrison, already old and rnthor
feoblo, rodo his white horso without
cloak or overcoat, and with his hat
off in aaluto to tho cheering crowds.
Tho line of march was unprccodent
edly long, nnd so was tho Inaugural
addresB, and thon tho president led
tho procession back to tho White
House. The exposure waB too much for
him and within ono month ho waa
dead.
When Lincoln Took Hold.
Immensely dramatic was tho first
Inauguration of Abraham Lincoln in
1SG1. From thn day of his election
threats against his llfo wero numer
ous, and dotectlvos discovered and
foiled an organized plot to assasslnato
him on his way to Washington. Tho
big bodies of troops that had been
employed at former Inaugurations
merely to add pomp to tho occasion
now were used for tho protection of
tho president.
Tho day had opened cloudy, chilly
nnd dismal, but as tho prusldent step
ped forward to tako tho oath from
tho nged Chlor Justice Taney tho sun
burst through tho clouds and shono
full on tho bowed head of tho man
who waB to glvo up his llfo for the
country ho lovod. Lincoln himself
noticed this "sunburst" aud drew
from it a happy augury.
