The end and most threatening phase o.
th;s per,y contest was when following the
election Of 1900, there was tie in the Pros
idential Electoral vote between Jefferson ana
Rnrr and the election Was taken 20 Con-
gress, then largely Federal IN iss composi-
non. Pending the election BY Congress 'he
conn,ry was torn and rent throughout its
whole extent, as though BY civil war 80
violeu. was the rege Of parties. Threats OF
r.sor,inp to arms we're made by the leaders
of mo parties. and even Jefferson threatened
an elyor, TO make . complete disorgan'zaslon
and reorganization Of the Government in
order 10 enlarge aud protect popular rights.
Tho contest ended in the election OF Jener-
son. the success Of the progressive hepuoii'
can rar.y and quiet was restored to the coun-

conservative re-sctionary Democracy nov
are. On all these points they we're beaten
by progressive Rcpublicanism. It was the
6rs. fair and square struggle OF two parties
for party supremacy. 1t imperilled the very
existence OF the Government, IS ne have
seen.
We now have the second direct struggle Of
two parties for supremacy. Jefferson and
Republicanism triumphed in 1901. The OPP
position was utterly crushed The later
Whia party and Jacksonian Democracy we're
branches OF the same political ree. John
Quincy Adams, Henry Clay and ANDREW
Jackson all claimed to be and were Jefferso-
MAN Republicans. The Wing party never
succeeded in carrying but two Presidential
elections. Harrison was = 1eAersonian Dem
ocrat. Had as such held office and been Q
member Of Congress. And ths hearts OF
the Democracy we're more inclined to-

growing element in the Democratic party
were beginning TO mistrust, on account Of
