Approximately an hour earlier, former First Assistant United States Postmaster General Adlai Stevenson I of Illinois was sworn in as the 23rd vice president of the United States, succeeding Vice President Levi P. Morton.

The Democratic ticket of Cleveland-Stevenson had defeated the Republican ticket of Harrison, who was seeking a second term, and Whitelaw Reid in the 1892 election by 277-145 votes in the Electoral College.
