The North-Carolina standard., 1844-10-23
Henry Clay already defeated,s and James
Kas0r Poll, elected!

The game is up and CLAY Is ALREADY BEAT
ENl We wilEprove this TO every calculating and
fair mind; we only ask every man to examine our
statement carefully, for we will prove it true by
not only the elections that have taken place since
May last, but by every election since 1894 We
vouch for the accuracy of every main fact. First,
let us test Mr. Clay's popularity with the people
since 1924; next examine it by the elections since
May last. Put the two together, and you will
perceive that they support and prove each other,
and show beyond doubt that Mr. Clay is already
defeated and Col. Polk elected
1824-Jackson 99, Adams "a, Crawford Al,
Clay 37-totaI 26l. Mark Clay got only 81
votes out of 261, only ID per cent on the whole
vote, being the lowest candidate of all.
1828-Jackson l78, Adams s3-26l. Mark
Adams was Clay's friend; he had by a fraudulent
bargain palmed him upon the people as President
in 1925; and when Adams was put before the
people in 1928, with Clay's influence to back him,
he did not get his first vote, and not half of jack
sons VOTE
1832-Jaclsson 49, Clay 40, Floyd II, Writ
i7-286. Mark Clay got only 49 votes, but II
per cent. on the whole vote, of 2s6; completely
disanced.
1836-Van Burcn 17O, Harrison 73, White &c,
Mangum II, Webster 14-294. Markl Here
Clay having been considered broken down, the
wings ran all their candidates but Clay
154O-Harrison $50, Van Buren, 6O-294.
Markl Finding Clay could not run, all the odds
and ends of parties and factions combined against
Van Burcn, and yal SORTS of frauds and COON
Sly hor rd b,,n
and false charges, elected military chiefain, Har-
rison. Clay was tried in the Harrisburg Conyen-
ton, and openly pronounced by his party too
unpopular to run, and Harrison got the nomina-
ton.
Now let us try his popularity by what has
taken place in the election wear 1874 since his
nomination at Baltimore last May. Remember
that the reason the wings have taken him up now
Is they have no other plausible candidate to run,
and this is therefore desperate chance We give
all the States that have voted since Nav last

State in 1910. The democrats carried it in the
late September el,ction, by Ten thousand coles
and more
Ne'o Jersey, election October, 1874 This was
whig State in 1910, by about $500 majority.
Now, since Clay is candidate they have only
elected the whig Governor by 1900 votes-a loss
OF 1900; and the wings here would have been
beaten: but Thompson, and his brother-in-law
Stockton, were SO largely interested in the monop-
oies of Rail Roads that 1900 democrats refused
to vote for Thompson. So this State is sure for
Polk.
