MINORITY PRESIDENTS.
From tho Chicago Times.

There is no instance In the history Of this country
where a candidate for tho Presidency who has re
teved majority OF the votes cart has failed OF cleo
tion. Mr.. Tilden received such majority. And thor
is no instance except the OF John Quincy Adams
whose election was in tho House. where a minority
President did not obtain plurality Hayes has not
even plurality.
Let US look at tho voto In these cases. In 1924,
when Adams was elected by tho House. there were
four Presidential candidates, and the popular vote wM
as ollows-
John quincy Adams. lO3,32l
william H. Crawford. 47,26s
henry Ciay 4i,oSl
In this candidate had majority ovei

vote failed of election because OF the combinations
which made against him the House.
elected at this time he would have been a minority
President Tho electoral college. in which thero
choice, stooi-Jackson, 90; Adams, 81; Crawford,
A. and Clay, 81.
Zachary Taylor was another minority President
The vote in lsis was follows:-
Zachary Taylor. 2,03I
LOWS Cass. 1,2224 4l5
Marun Van Burcn ....................... 20l ,67d
Thus though Taylor !ncd by majority OF tho popu-
lar he had respectable plurality his princi-
pal opponent

The vote ollows.
James Buchanan. ......-....-............ lsSoa6o
John " FREMONT. i5s4,oo3
The popular majority against Buchanan was some
400, 900 votes, but he, too, had plurality.
The exciting election oi 1860 is st vvidly remcm-
bcrod, and the act that Lincoln lost tho popular
jority, though succeeding IN the Electoral College,
