SGmaoT ]. rilIen and Aaron Burr.

New York has furnished u remarka-
bly, large Ter cent. of the Presidential
candidates. At more than half the cleo
tons it has furnished candidate. and
sometimes two or three. Aaron Burr
stands at one end of the line and Samuel
J. Tildcn at the other. There is sug.s
gestive and significant parallel between
the two candidates.
Aaron Burr was a citizen of New York
city, prominent lawyer and Tammany
Sachcm Herein history has repeated
itself. He came within one vote of being
elected. Had one of the seventy
three Electors who cast their ballots fer
Thomas Jefferson joined the sevcnty-three
Electors who supported Burr, the latter
would have had the "bulge." Here, tor
the present, the comparison ends. The
threads of similarity may unite later on.
Burr was tried for treason. Should Til
den take the course foreshadowed by his
supporters recently, he will share the
fate of his infamous prototype, except as
to the result. Burr's trial for treason be-
gan March 81. 1907, and closed on Sep
TENDER Z. The jury brought in the YER
dict: Aaron Burr is not proved TO be
guilty under the indictment by any evil
oence submitted to u.s." Should Mr.. Til
den, urged thereto by the House of Rep
resentatives, presume to exercise any of
the functions of President of the United
States, he would commit high treason of
the most heinous sort, and leave no room
for difference of opinion among TIE
jurors who would be summoned to try the
indictment, which most assuredly would

that he will not His hackers are play
ing desperate game of Bluff. When
satisfied that they cannot win without an
actual show of bands, they will probably
give up the struggle. But should the
threatened programme be carried out,
it would end in the arrest and trial for
treason of the leaders in this second re-
bellion, and their conviction, too. There
is no danger of var now, any more than
there was when Aaron Burr formed and
was thwarted i'll his reasonable designs.
1t is needless to pursue the subject
farther The Democrats should knew
that the indictment for treason of a man
who stood within the very shadow of the
White House, with his hand upon the
door knob, has occurred once, and may
occur again. Burr was not sent to the
gallows or the Petitentiary, but he lost
the respect of the public, was vagabond
and a wretch ever after, and lives in
American history second in oblcquy only
to Benedict Arnold. 1t seems likely that
another name will be added TO that scroll
Of dishonor and in the triumvirate OF
shame Samuel J. Tiden will be last, but
no. least.-Chtcago Journal.
