Presidential Inaugurations
yS7Ssa3i
From Washington to Lincoln
All the Way From Jeffersonian Simplicity
to the Pomp and State of Modern Times
the early years of the
government before the capital
was moved to Washington the
induction of a president al
though a ceremony of great dignity
and solemnity was a very small and
select affair
In New York for nearly a fortnight
preceding the great day of April 30
1789 every tavern and boarding house
had been thronged with visitors and
on the day before the inauguration
every private house was filled with
guests from all parts of the Union
In the center of the procession pre
ceded by the senate and followed by
representatives walked George Wash
ington On reaching Federal hall the
troops formed a line on each side of
the way through which the president
vflth his attendants was conducted to
rv
tol by the militia and the ceremony
took place in the senate chamber
which is now the supreme court room
As the dnj for the second inaugura
tion of James Monroe fell on Sunday
the ceremony took place the following
day Monday March 5
John Qulncy Adams was inaugurated
on March 4 1825 and the day was one
of great demonstration and display
President Monroe called at the resi
dence of the president elect who then
resided on F street opposite the Eb
bitt House and here they were joined
by the military escort and the proces
Blon headed by the cavalry moved at
once to the capltol
The Inauguration of Old Hickory
took place on March 4 1S29 and was
a memorable one The friends of
President John Qulncy Adams had

the chamber of the senate where the
representatives hsd assembled a few
minutes before and at the door the
vice president received him and at
tended him to the chair
The vice president then said Sir
the senate and the house of represent
atives are ready to attend you to take
the oath required by the constitution
which will be administered by the
state of New York The president
answered I am ready to proceed
The vice president and the senators
led the way and followed by the rep
resentatives Washington walked to
the outside gallery overlooking both
Wall and Broad streets which were
filled with a sea of upturned faces
Washingtons first official act was to
attend service in old St Pauls
The seeoncT inauguration of Presi
dent Washington took place in Inde
pendence hall at Philadelphia on
March 4 1702
On March 4 1707 John Adams was
Inaugurated president of he United
States in the old statehouse at Phila
delphia Although the day was favor
able there was no parade or gathering
of a large assemblage
Although the generally accepted ac
counts of Jeffersons inauguration
make it appear that he rode to the cap
ital on horseback without attendance
and that the ceremony was of the
simplest kind a newspaper of the day
states that on this day President
Elect Jefferson was escorted from his
lodgings to the capitol by a body of
militia and a procession of citizens
jeKersor
seconcr inauguration on
March 5 1S05 was simpler if possible
than his first
A Ceremonious Occasion
The inauguration of James Madison
was the first ceremony which was
made a great occasion The day was
ushered in by a federal salute and at
an early hour the volunteer corps of
militia began to assemble So great
was the crowd that the oath of office
was administered in the old hall of
representatives now statuary hall at
the capitol For the first time in the
history of inaugurations the various
branches of the government were ush
ered into the hall with ceremonious
pomp and parade
James Madion was inaugurated the
Eecond time on March 4 1S13 He had
a military escort and the ceremonies
In the house of representatives were
similar to those of his first inaugura
tion In the evening there was an in
auguration ball at Davis hotel which
is now the Metropolitan
The 4th of March 1817 was a beau
tiful day and there was a large crowd
to witness the Inauguration ceremo
nies The president elect and vice
president elect left the private resi
dence of President Monroe attended
by a large cavalcade of citizens on
CEsebaclLJTbey jveipjnet J
agreed not to participate In the in
augural ceremonies and the only uni
formed military company in the Dis
trict of Columbia declined to offer its
escort to the president elect A com
pany of Revolutionary officers and sol
diers however organized and ten
dered their services to General Jack
son as an escort and he rode to the
capitol in an open carriage
The second inauguration of Andrew
Jackson was very simple There was
no military escort no outward display
and no procession
The 4th of March 183S was a beau
tiful day and the inauguration cere
monies of Martin Van Buren were
elaborate and the crowds in Wash
ington severely taxed the capacity of
the city Van Buren was the first

A Notable Celebration
The inauguration of Old Tippeca
noe was one of the greatest events
that ever occurred In the national cap
ital After the furious campaign
which preceded his election great
crowds gathered in Washington to
witness the inauguration
Exactly one mouth after this Presi
dent Harrison died and on April 0
John Tyler took the oath of office be
fore William Cranch chief judge of
the circuit court of the District of Co
lumbia
It was a cold rainy day when Presi
dent Polk was Inaugurated but there
was a long procession of the military
as well as civic organizations
Zachary Taylor had fine weather
unlimited noise and great ceremonies
attending his inauguration As the 4th
fell on Sunday he was inaugurated on
Monday
As President Taylor died on July 9
one year after his inauguration Vice
President Millard Fillmore took the
oath of office on July 10 in the house
of representatives
The inauguration of Franklin Pierce
was unique In the fact that the vice
president elect William It King was
not in Washington to be sworn Into
office but was on a mission to Cuba
and took the oath of office at a plan
tation on the hills above Matanzas at
the same time President Elect Pierce
was being sworn in in Washington
There was no inaugural ball
The 4th of March 1837 was a splen
did day and James Buchanan was in
augurated with much pomp and cere
mony After reaching the White
House President Buchanan held a
public reception and at night attended
the inauguration ball which was held
in a building in Judiciary square erect
ed for that purpose
The Lincoln Festivities
Abraham Lincoln bad a bright clear
day for his first inauguration but it
rained and the streets were wet and
muddy when he took his second oath
of office The martyr president went
to the capital from Springfield by way
of Indianapolis Columbus Cleveland
Pittsburg and Philadelphia and al
though he was given receptions all
along the way when he reached Har
risburg on account of threatened vio
lence it was thought best to change
the plans and he proceeded to Phila
delphia In one of the public cars and
arriving there at midnight he entered
the New York sleeper and passed
through Baltimore undisturbed and ar
rived In Washington at G30 on the
morning of Feb 23 He remained at
Willards hotel until the inauguration
day when President Buchanan called
for him and in an open carriage the
party proceeded to the capitol In or
der to avoid threatened violence the
president and president elect in their
carriage were preceded by a company
1 of infantry double files of the Dis
trict cavalry on either side and in
fantry and other military organiza
tions following In the long proces
sion there was a large car or float
representing the constitution and the
Union each state being represented
by a little girl dressed in white A
battalion of District troops guarded
the steps of the capitol The cere
mony of swearing in the vice president
in the senate completed the entire
party marched to the east portico of
the capitol where the great scene of
swearing in Abraham Lincoln took
place
The civil war was in progress when
Mr Lincoln was inaugurated for the
second time There were evidences
of the war everywhere and gloom
and sadness covered the whole land
The president went to the capitol ear
ly to sign bills and therefore the pa
rade marched down without him The
procession however was noteworthy

The Saloon an Unmitigated Curse
ITS FRIENDS AND ITS KNEMIK3
Excerpts from two antP oleution ser
mons by Kev Father Cassidy deliveifd
November 22 and 29 1908 at St Mar s
Cathpdral Fall River Mass
Drink is easily the supreme destroyer
of the body and of the soul I do not in
tend here to tire jou with long tables of
statistics You are all familiar with the
records compiled concerning the eflVct
upon pauperism and crime upon youth
by intoxicating liquors If theroareany
of you that are not all you have to do
is to read the newspapers or the govern
ment reports or come with mo over the
hill to the poor house or down the valley
to the orphans asylum or over the road
to tho New Bedford jail and ask the
keepers what proportions of their inmates
have come there through arink After
looking through the orphan asylum I
will guarantee you will hot go further
I will guarantee if you have a heart at
all when you know that ninety jercent
of the orphans at the St Vincents Or
phans Home are there through drink
you will have had enough
A loto government report says that the
health of the individual the safety of tho
family and the future of the country ha9
in alcoholism one of its greatest danger
Now do we aB intelligent iconle or wo
who presume to think ourselves intelli
gent do we realize tho common peril
Do we share tho common responsibility
Those who speak and write skilled in
these things say that drunkennessabout
the effects of which I have said a word
is a disease Then if this be true the
ravages of tuberculosis leprosy and fovr
of all kinds pale into insignificance be
side it For every victim laid low by
these diseases a hundred lie down to die
through drink If alcoholism and drunk
enness be disease where is itcontracted
What causes it Where is it best prop
agated Is it in our homes Not in any
worthy the name of a home Is it in
our schools No Is it in our streets
No Is it in our workshops this wretch
ed wicked thing No Where is it con
tracted but in that vilest of places the
public saloon Is it not their that this
inmoral destroyer takes its raise to
spread its curse upon the children of
God
What are wo doing to destroy this
pestilential sink What are wo doing
Are we awoke to the common peril
Methods of reform may be a fit subject
for discussion We might argue here nit
night whether prohibition was effectivt
and whether no license was a good thing
We might be some right and some wrong
and we might be unable to convince each
other But no sane man mark my
words no sane man needs any argu
ment to convince him that the saloon as
operated in this city today is an unmit
igated curse
I repeat it there is no good in it It
is all evil It is an unmitigated curse
If the saloon be not an evil why dont
men make it an object of prayer
How often at the end of a sinful story
have I heard a little girl saj Mamma
asked me to pray that papa may not
drink again and the saloon may not get
us all Did ever mother prompt her
child to pray papa might get drunk
again and the saloons might take him
back
And yet that which you dare not pray
for you will go out and vote for
Yet you know that wherever the sa
loon gets a foothold it furthers not the
work of God but the plans and schemes
of Satau You know that wherever
the saloon is there are mens vilest and
worst passions You know that where
ever the saloon is there is the very
scum of humanity You know that the
saloon in the furtherance of its vile
purpose knows neither maD nor God
nor gospel
As I have said before I am not con
demning men I am condemning the
institution I am condemning and at
tacking the evil which is destrojing my
people and it is my duty to attack it
If others of my cloth and other cloth
see fit to stand idly by and allow this
evil to spread then it is their responsi
bility and not mine I hear some of you
say That is enough we see the peril
we accept the responsibility the time
for words has gone by it is the time for
deeds What would you have us do
What would I have you do Give us
a chance to breathe for we are stifling
The atmosphere of the nation is crush
ing and choking us
What would I have you do Give us
a chance to live for we are on the rocks
of perdition chained by the brewers
bonds The vulture of the saloon is
clutching at our vitals What would I
have you do Break those brewers
chains Destroy those bonds Let us
be free again for God for country and
for home
