Indeed, though they had the luxury of getting their own breakfast in their sitting-room at any hour of the day when they liked to eat it, they were too much in the habit of eating their dinner at any restaurant near which they might happen to be when they were hungry to have inaugurated any extensive housekeeping.
This convention has been pending before the Senate for two years; I hope the United States this year will join the other nations of the hemisphere in ratifying a convention which embodies principles that are our tradition. The trend in favor of democracy has continued. During this past year, Peru inaugurated a democratically elected government. Brazil continues its process of liberalization.
On March 4, 1865, when he was inaugurated the second time, he made the following address: Fellow-Countrymen: At this second appearing to take the oath of presidential office, there is less occasion for an extended address than there was at the first.

Two political bodies, a council of state and a council of finance were instituted.
The great majority of the colonists sent thither by James were Scotch Lowlanders, but among them were many English and a smaller number of Highlanders. These three peoples from the island of Britain brought forth, through intermarriage, the Ulster Scots. The reign of Charles I had inaugurated for the Ulstermen an era of persecution.
Oover inaugurated dinner. To all Rhodes Scholars, indeed, his courtesy was invariable. He went out of his way to cultivate them.
