WASHINGTON, George (1732-1799) – The Daily Advertiser. New York: Printed by Francis Childs, 7 April 1789. The first report of George Washington’s unanimous election as President. After observing that the previous day (6 April) Congress had reached a quorum, it immediately began the formal count of electoral votes for President and Vice President: “...agreeably to the Constitution, the House of Representatives in the Senate chamber, when his Excellency opened and examined the ballots of the electors of the respective states.” The count revealed that the “whole number of suffrages was 69, and it appeared that his Excellency George Washington, Esquire, was unanimously elected – His Excellency John Adams had 34 votes...” After noting the runners-up for Vice President, the next paragraph triumphantly proclaims: “The Illustrious GEORGE WASHINGTON, Esquire, was then announced President of the United States of America, and his Excellency JOHN ADAMS Esquire, Vice President.” Four pages, folio (515 x 315 mm). (Partial separation at spine fold, with original deckled edges.)
