GW: Presidential Inauguration; 1:15/1:25pm, April 30, 1789

[Guest guest]

John, thanks for the research in your two posts! I checked my files and see

that I have the Washington Inaugural chart set for a time before 1:00 p.m.

Have you done any research for the time period between 1:15 and 1:25? I'm

printing out both your posts for my USA files.

 

Thanks again!

Hi Therese, Cynthia and Group

 

As you may recall Ed Kohout, Ron Gaunt and I exchanged messages on this event

some weeks ago. At that time I was working from memory of books read. Ed Kohout

later asked me to quote them. The result is the findings under discussion here.

(Thanks for the prompt, Ed)

 

The works cited are from scholars and journalists familiar with the primary

sources. But here's the challenge:

 

About 1:00/1:05 pm Washington steped down from his carriage ands walked north

some 300 yards on Broad Street to Federal Hall on the corner of Wall and Nassau,

streets throughout the area chock-a-block thronged by a wellwishing public. The

City overflowed that day with visitors..all inns, taverns booked up..people

sleeping at the wharfs, in the meadows, all over southern Manhattan.

 

Working his way through all that must have taken Washington some 5 to 10

minutes....another 5 minutes to go thru the formalties in the Senate Chamber

before moving to the balcony where the Oath was sworn, the chamber where the

Senators and Reprsentatives (Joint Session) had been kept waiting for " an hour

and 10 minutes " (12:00 noon plus 70 minutes = 1:10 pm)....

 

Any horoscopic rectification between 1:10 and 1:30pm is perfectly historically

defensible. That's what I wish to convey to the group.

 

In my next posting I will cite from various sources and tell the story that

Washington's biographers have barely touched on: That the program that day was

designed to administer the Oath of Office ....promptly @ 12:00 NOON ......(Not

1:00 pm as I previously misunderstood before studying the question).

Unquestionably, that morning the President of the Senate and the Chairman of the

Inauguration Committee screwed-up big-time, as they kept the Great Man, General

Washington, waiting for at least an hour. Between 11:00 and 12:00 noon the scene

in the Senate approached the bizarre with all the makings of a bar room brawl in

the making, short of punches, as Senators at moments were screaming at each

other over the protocol ( " etiquette " ) of how to address the President-Elect on

his arrival at their chambers:..Should it be: . " Your Highness " .. " Your

Excellency " ... " Your grace " ... " Sir " .... " Mr " .....etc...... Clearly, any suggestion

of monarchy was political dynamite on that era and on that

occasion. The President of the Senate, John Adams, was really tested that

particular late morning, as well.

 

The Reception Committee was expected at Washington's residence between 11:00 and

11:30 am. They arrived at close to 12:30 pm.The Chairman of the Senate

Inauguration Committee was the Virginian, Richard Henry Lee. One should remember

that Lee along with the Masachusetts' Adams, John and Samuel, were in the

phalanx of the movement for Independency in 1776 (Lee introduced the Resolution

on Independency on June 7th, 1776; then seconded by John Adams). How Adams and

Lee allowed the Masonically arranged 12:00 noon Oath Taking to be spoiled by

delay is another story......

 

Regards,

 

John

This must be a forum or list I haven't joined.

Looking forward to this.

Hello all,

 

I can understand the intellectual excitement of tracking down the

exact moment of Washington's swearing-in for the historical record

but astrologically I have always preferred the " masonically arranged

12 noon Oath Taking. " I see in checking back through the posts

that Ron Gaunt would also have no other. It produces excellently

for 9/11 and Pearl Harbor and could have been used alone to

predict Bush's victory. Of course I said the same thing about Bush's

SSR and even his transits for the day. Any of them alone.

Hi Group

 

Dark*Star makes a very good point.

 

In fact it may be just the event needed to empirically test our mundane

assumptions. I re-confirm here what the record clearly shows: if all had gone

according to plan the Great General Washington would have been standing on the

Federal Hall balcony overlooking Wall Street @ 12:00 noon.

 

The choice: 12:00 noon (about exactly) or 1:20 pm (roughly) .... Let the

investigation proceed

 

John
