Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Notes of a Busy Life, Vol. 2: With Portraits and Other Illustrations I Took my seat in the Senate March 4, 1897, - the same day President McKinley and Vice President Hobart were inaugurated. It was my fortune, therefore, to witness officially both of these ceremonies; first, the inauguration of the Vice President in the Senate; and, next, the inauguration of President McKinley on the east portico of the Capitol, where he took the official oath, administered by Chief Justice Fuller, and delivered his Inaugural address. President Cleveland with his Cabinet, President McKinley and his Cabinet, the Chief Justice, and the Associate Justices of the Supreme Court, all the foreign Ambassadors, and Diplomatic representatives then in Washington, both Houses of Congress, and all the prominent Government Army and Navy officials, together with a number of Governors of the States, and other distinguished citizens of the country, were in attendance upon both ceremonies. As I took note of those who were going out and those who were coming in I was impressed with the wisdom of the framers of our Constitution in providing for the election of a House of Representatives every two years; a President and Vice President every four years, and the election of Senators for terms of six years. It secured a commingling of new and fresh political life and thought with the tried, experienced and stable.
