Adams and Jefferson are declared President & Vice President...



Item # 703596

February 15, 1797

COLUMBIAN CENTINEL, Boston, Feb. 15, 1797  A page 2 report has a very historic report: "Wednesday last his Excellency JOHN ADAMS, Esq., as President of the United States; and the Hon. THOMAS JEFFERSON, Esq., as V. President of the same, were declared in the presence of the Legislature of the Union, and a large concourse of citizens in...Philadelphia." This is the first report in this paper that we've seen that official acknowledges them as having won the presidential election.
Four pages, never-trimmed margins, very nice condition.
