More Bwgaia and Salc.-NIr. Andrew
Stevenson, Of Virginia, now speaker ofthe
lower house of Congress, was for Craw-
ford at the Presidential election of 1924,
preferred Mr.. Adams next to him, and was
. most vehement in his opposition to Gen.
/ Jackson. After that election he became
( O member of the combination to elect
I Gen. Jackson" and joined in the cry OF
bargain and SALE against the Admins
| ra6on. Now whether this conversion to
I the opposition arose from a belief that there
was corruption on the side of Mr.. Adams
7 and bis friends, or whether twas because
he could not make a 'bargain" with them,
but was enabled to negotiate one with the
Jacksonites, by which he was elected
speaker, the reader may Judge, on peru
sal of the following extract from a COmmu-
nicaton 20 the editor of the Richmond
/ Wing, by J. Sloane, an Ohio representa-
Tive M Congress. Pittsburgh Ga.
AT the commencement ofthe session of
/ Congress, in December, 1925, Mr.. Taylor,
/ Mr. Campbell ofOhio, and Mr.. Stevenson,
were candidates for the Speakers. chair.
/ Just as the members were preparing their
ballots To- 90 into an election, l was met
/ in the Representatives chamber by Mr..
/ Stevenson: he appeared to be much agltat'
led. and by his manner discovered great
soIiciude: he accOsted me in the following
words, which he spoke with great earnest
mess, and enforced with his peculiar ges-
.ticulation, Elect me Speaker, and by God
i'm sustain the Administration" The OBJ
seryation of ''- Stevenson made a deep
impression o. mind not that felt any
particular interes .in the course which Mr..
/ Stevenson might think proper to pursue,
/. but from the nature of the proposition itself,
/ and the manner ofmakIngit At that time
IIhadno intimation that Mr.. Stevenson had
any idea ofjoining in the support of Gen.
jackson. mentioned the subject of our
conversation, and related all the particu-
liars to my friend Mr. Whlttlesey, immedi-
lately after the adjournment of the House.
AS Mr.. Stevenson has thought proper to
. denOunce the measures of the present Ad-
.mlnistratioA, In broad and general terms,
I ] think it but Just that the public should
/ know, that there was a time, long after Mr.
Adams had In his inaugural address de-
ycloped the policy he intended to pursue,
when Mr.. Stevenson did not consider the
/ Administration unworthy of support.
