PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION SINCE IS2O-Sincr
1920, when Monroe was chosen tor u second
term. with but one opposition electoral vote
the Presidential elections have been less
decisive than is generally supposed. That
| Is /" say, the popular ulajority for the sue
cessiul candidate has never been excessive;
| and often he has actually wanted 4 ma iority.
and had only plurality.
| This was The case for example, in 1871
when the votes cast for Clay, and those
thrown away ON BIrney, exceeding in the
| aggregate, those poled for Polk, making
| lie latter actually IL minority President. -
| 70 60 back To 1924. In that year ! candi
dates were IN the field, jackson, Adams,
Crawford and Clay. The first received 81
| electoral votes, the second 81, the third 4
and the fourth 81. The election. under these
| circumstances. dcvolying in the House,
Adams received the votes of Is States
jackson of :, and Crawford Of 1. In lS2S
jackson Was chosen by the popular voice
obtaining l,S electoral votes OF 26l, which
then constituted the Electoral College. In
1882 Jackson wis again chosen ny the
popular voice. and this time by even great,
tr majority. receiving 40 electoral votes
more Than his opponent, Henry Clay.
This b,ngs us up to 1886, or twenty years
ago. In that year Van Buren,. though elect
cd President, beat Harrison III the popular
vote only IA 900, though he had 40 cleo oral
votes out Of 294. Four years afterwards
Harrison seemed at first sight, to have had
three times as many supporters as Van
Buren,. for he obtained "a electoral votes
Nhile his antagonist had but 60; Yet lie onl,
beat the latter, in the p"pula, Vote, about
one undred and sixty Thousand. ont Il poll
Of nearly two millions, four hundred tliouS.
md. Another cu,i ouS feat of the election Of
1910 was that the popular vote exceeded by
| nearly twothirdS that cast in 1876. Van
Bucn. for instance, distanced as lie was
received S64 900 votes in 1910 more than he
did four wars before. In 1870 as we have
already said, Polk was actually Il nifiulit>
| Presidents and yet he beat Clay 10y Il lafgcl
| popular m j'rity than lla rSou had bratrl
| Van Buren,; the vote being, for Polk, l.o3G ;.
| 1856; for Clay, I,297.2l2. The electoral
college stood, however, l1U for Polk to lU5
| 10, Clay.
| In 1913 Taylor received l63 electoral votes
and Cass l27. The great State of New
York in this election decided the contest, b.,
gong for Taylor, IN consequence Of the
Democracy being divided: and Taylor was
also minority President. When We com.
pare these elections with those prior to 1870
we see how much more closely contested
| they have been. in 1904, for Instance, JEFF
terson had 1872 electoral votes, and Pickne,
his opponent, II only. In 1903 Madison had
l22 and Pickncy A. In 1872. Madison had
les and Clinton SO. In 1916. Monroe had
| LIS and King 81 In 1920, as we have al
ready mentioned, Monroe had 23l, single
electoral vote being cat in opposition.

addressed by the talented Representative from
Baltimore, will be read with much interest
We copy from the Fiee Press published in

The Hon Henry Winter Davis. in response
! to an invitation from the Fillmore and Donel
son Club, addressed thtm and the clizcns of
| this cUnnty generally. on Tuesday last. His
fame Ms an orator is too well known to the
| country, at length to need comment AT length,
from us His speech here fully raiz,d the
expectation Of his friends. The audience was
one of the largest and most intelligent ever AS
semhlrd within the walls Of the courthouse.
| II was an effort Of great aud gifted mind =
an effort that none but mind such as Mr..
b. s could haze made. His style is peculiar v
| his own it is compact. flowing. polished and
musicalv every sentence was full. gracefully
and cxquisit,iy turned no ja,riug-all was
beautifully round His slyl" is Of that sort,

handsomely set oil and adorned ny art.
With the brilliancy IF true oratory. Mr.. D.
blends the higher atlribul,s of deep suhlety.
and vast, expansive comprehension. He pos
SeSseS imagination of most astonishing pow
crs, tnlrened with exquisite fancy and acute
discrimination. He possesses also, for they
are necessary accomlanimcns the rare pow.

idea in his mind
None but pr,;judccd and bigotlv warped
mind, would deny Mr.. d. the Gift of ecquence
in its highest perfection. and yei we've
heard bnmphinS here, say, that it was

upon such high estimate We content to leave

sure, when we remark. that. the matter and
sentiment of his speech was generally
approved by ma iorily of those " no heard
him. We well know that the larger portion
