WILSON TOE
TENTH TO BE
TWICECHOSEN
WASHINGTON, March 5.—Wood
j row Wilson is the tenth president of
j the United States to be elected for a
I second term. The other nine were
1 Washington, Jefferson, Madison,
■ Monroe, Jackson, Lincoln, Grant,;
j Cleveland and McKinley.
Thomas Kiley Marshall is the first
| vice-president to be inaugurated a j
' second time since the present system j
of party conventions came into use. j
I Actually he is the fourth man to j
! hold the office a second time.
John Adams was twice elected vice
president to serve with George
Washington; Daniel D. Tompkins
served through two terms with Presi
dent Monroe. John C. Calhoun was
twice elected vice-president on a
ticket with John Quincy Adams and !
served until his resignation near the j
end of his second term in 1832.
March 4, has fallen on Sunday
three times in an inauguration year.
President Monroe, acting on the ad
vice of Chief Justice Marshall, set a
precedent and took the oath of office
on Monday, March r>.
General Zachary Taylor followed j
this precedent when he was inaugur- ,
ated in 1849. March 4 again fell on |
a Sunday and he postponed taking |
the oath until the following Monday.
President Hayes, however, took 1
precautions against any opportunity i
for charge of irregularity. The final |
vote of the tribunal which gave to j
him the high office and thus ended
the Hayes-Tilden controversy, was
announced on Saturday, March 3, ]
1877. Mr. Hayes at once took the
oath in the red room of the white
house. General Grant and other no
tables were present. The oath was
administered by Chief Justice Waite.
The form of the president’s inaug
ural was largely devised by George
Washington, and like most all his;
work, has stood the test of time.
The ceremony was conceived when :
the forefathers were in the throes of
a great revolution, and they intended
it to be distinctly American. Through
the lapse of more than a century vir- ■
tually no change has been made in
the actual ceremonies although elab
orate and beautiful accompaniments
have been made.
Washington was inaugurated in i
New York in 1789 for his first term
and traveled from Mount Vernon bv
horseback and horsedrawn coaches.
He crossed streams on eight-oared
barges. For his second term Wash
ington was inaugurated in Philadel
phia in 179.",. The oath of office was
administered by Chancellor Livings
ton and the ceremony was about the
same as it is now. The president was
driven to the capitol in a handsome
coach surrounded by an escort. There
was a procession, and at night a dis
play of fireworks.
John Adams was inaugurated for
his one term in Philadelphia. In the
meantime the District of Columbia
was created, the capital was named
Washington and Thomas Jefferson
was elected. He was inaugurated
here after a bitter contest in the
house of representatives which exer
cised its constitutional prerogative of
choosing the president. Accompanied
by a few friends Jefferson rode to
Washington on horseback from Mon
ticello and was escorted Into the city
by a troop of cavalry. Alone he
rode in a carriage to his inauguration
at the capitol. Adams, embittered by
the controversy in the house, had
left the city. Historians say about a
thousand people viewed his inaugur
ation, in contrast to more than a half
million to see the second inauguration
of President Wilson. Washington, in
those days was almost inaccessible to
travelers and inauguration celebra
tions were held throughout the coun
try in many villages and towns.
The next inauguration—that of
President Madison, is said to have
been attended by ten thousand peo
ple and contemporaneous accounts
express amazement at the size of the
crowd.
President Monroe was the first to
take his oath of office out of doors on
a platform built over the Plaza at
the east front of the capital as is now
the custom. He had intended to
take the oath in a hall of the house,
but the senate claimed the honor. A
wrangle followed and a compromise
was made by which the ceremony was
conducted in the open air. It is re
corded that while Monroe was taking
the oath. American eagles, birds now
practically extinct, flew majestically
over the dome of the capitol.
John Quincy Adams was inaugur
ated on March 4, because another
election contest in the house post
poned the ceremony until late that
month. When finally held it was
the most elaborate ceremony of its
kind.
The inauguration of Andrew Jack
on in 1829 probably would have
been more elaborate had not the in
coming president been in mourning
for his wife. He rode to the capitol
in a carriage constructed from the
hull of the gallant old frigate Consti
tution. It was an elaborate cere
mony, nevertheless. In comparison
with present-day inaugurals Daniel
Webster’s comment is interesting. He
said:
‘‘Never has such a crowd been seen
here before. There must have been
fully eight thousand people along the
line of march. Persons came 500
miles to see the president inaugurat
ed.” Crowds kept growing, however,
as the country expanded, and it is
said President Van Buren’s inaugura
tion was attended by some 20,000
people.
Citizen soldiery participated in
such ceremonies for the first time at
the inauguration of William Henry
Harrison. He rode to the capitol in
a coach presented by whigs of Balti
more, and the inaugural procession
took on the appearance of a pageant.
Harrison had been elected on a pro- j
tective tariff platform and floats bear- j
ing looms and other machinery ill us- j
trative of the growing American in
dustries were shown in the proces
sion. Harrison died after having
held office little more than a month,
and Tyler succeeded. He took the j
oath privately without any cermony j
or display of any kind while the
country was in mourning.
President Polk appears to have
been the first to feel the discomforts
of being inaugurated in open air in a
vigorous spring blizzard. The weath
er was execrable and the ceremonies
were conducted with difficulty. Polk
was fond of display but his tastes
were not military. His inaugural pro
cession is said to have been rather
a mixed affair of military and civili
an bodies as are the processions of
today. Members of his cabinet and !
the clergy of the capital marched in j
it.
President Taylor’s inauguration1
was the first to fall on March 5. He |
was a military man and the cere
monies were the most resplendent up ;
to that time. Millard F’illmore, who'
became president through the death
of Taylor, succeeded to the office |
without ceremony of any kind, al- j
though he took the oath before con- j
gress.
Pierce and Buchanan were inaugur
ated with usual ceremonies.
Lincoln’s first inauguration was
notable in many respects. The coun
try, on the verge of civil war, trem
bled with mixed emotions. Lincoln’s
friends were filled with apprehension
for his safety and for the first time
in American inaugurals troops were
ordered to the capitol, not alone for
participation in the ceremonies, but
for protection of the president. Lin
coln himself expressed no fears for
his safety, but his friends took every
precaution. 1‘robably one single in
cident more than any other served
to hold feeling in check. When Lin
coln delivered his inaugural address
in the open air at the capitol, his ri
val in the greatest campaign up to
that time—Stephen A. Douglas—
stood at Lincoln’s side and held his
hat. Lincoln’s second inaugural re
flected the great civil war in which
the country was locked. The intro
duction of Andrew Johnson into office
after Lincoln’s assassination was
conducted in a room in a hotel with
out ostentation of any kind.
Grant came into office with the
greatest spectacular display seen up
to that time. It was almost entirely
a military demonstration as might
be expected from the fact that the
country was doing honor to the gen
eral who had led the victorious ar
mies of the federal government. John
son refused to ride to the capitol in
the same carriage with Grant. The
second inauguration of Grant fell on
one of the coldest days ever known in
the capital. Many organizations de
clined to march in the parade and
some persons who did died of the ex
posure.
President Hayes was surrounded
with elaborate precautions for his
personal safety because of the in
tense feeling engendered by the cel
ebrated controversy with Tilden. His
inauguration day fell on a Sunday.
He took one oath on the preceding
Saturday and another at public cere
monies the following Monday.
Garfield’s inauguration was with
out incident except in the senate
chamber, where General Hancock,
the unsuccessful democratic candi
date, was one of the first men to
grasp his rival’s hand.
President Arthur, in succeeding j
the martyred Garfield, took the oath I
of office twice, first at his home in ;
New York when he heard of the pres
ident’s death, and again at the capi
tol in the vice-president’s rooms.
There was no public ceremony.
Grover Cleveland’s first inaugura
tion reflected the steady growth of i
interest among the American people
in seeing their presidents take office
and the event was more elaborate
than any other of its predecessors.
The weather was perfect, the crowd
was immense and the ceremonies'
were elaborate.
Harrison was not so fortunate with
the weather for his inaugural cere
monies. A driving rain fell all day.
He delivered his address sheltered by
an umbrella held by one of his civil
war comrades. The weather, howev
er, did not deter his escort from
marching in the inaugural proces
sion. It was the Seventeenth Indiana
volunteer infantry which Harrison
had commanded in the civil war.
When Cleveland returned for a sec
ond term he, too, encountered bad
weather, and the agitation for mov
ing inauguration day forward into the
safer weeks of late spring, received
an impetus which however, soon died
away. Slush, inches deep, covered
the city, and thousands of people felt
discomforts.
