Lincoln read his inaugural address as he stood on the east portico of the Capitol, surrounded by all the high officials of the government. Senator Douglas, his unsuccessful rival, standing not an arm's length away from him, courteously held his hat during the ceremony. A cheer greeted him as he finished his address. Then the Chief Justice arose, the clerk opened his Bible, and Mr.
The Prohibition vote fell off about ten per cent from that polled in 1904 and the Independence party polled only 82,000 votes. In the House of Representatives the Sixty-first Congress had 219 Republicans and 172 Democrats; the Senate 60 Republicans and 32 Democrats.

A reception was given by the committee and Pierre suffragists to the members of the Legislature, the State officers and the ladies of their families in the ballroom of the St. George Hotel, said to have been a social event second only to the inaugural ball.

He concurred in all his recommendations, but suggested no measures of his own.
When I was in New York it was just about to be opened, and I was invited to take part in the ceremony by delivering an inaugural address.
