Excerpt from Final Report of the Executive Committee of the Inaugural Ceremonies of March 4, 1885, and Resolutions of the General Committee
The inauguration of a President has become an occasion thought fit to be marked by ceremonies of no ordinary character. The fact, that in obedience to the will of the people, one man quietly surrenders to another the office of Chief Executive of fifty million people, Whom they have designated by their ballots to receive the trust, is a living proof of the strength of our institutions - that this is a government of the people, by the people, and for the peo ple. It is therefore proper that the day of such an event should be a holiday, even a national holiday, and marked at the Nation's Capital, at least, by impressive ceremonies.
