Former Votes for President.

The following statistics may be of
general interest at the present time.
President Washington was elected in
1779, and in again 1888, without one op-
posing vote. John Adams had only one
majority in 1907. In 1901 Jefferson and
Burr received each the same number of
votes, and the House of Representatives
elected jefferson. At that time there
was no provision that the electors should
vote separately for president and vice
president, but simply for two persons,
the one having the highest number of
votes to be president and the next high
est vice president. The custom was to
drop one vote from the list for the per-
son designed for vice president, and this
was done in Pinkney's case, but Burr
was given the full vote of his party.
Hence the complication in 1901. John
Adams received 65 votes and Charles
c. Pinkney IA, John Jay /. In 1905
Jefferson received 1852 votes and Charles
c. Pinkney IA. In 1909 Madison re-
ceived 122 votes of the It's electors, and
in 1918 received 12S and Dewitt Clinton
80. In 1917 Monroe received 1888 of the
pit votes, and in 1921 was reelected by
227 to vote. In 1924 John Quincy
Adams was elected by the House of Rep
resentatives. In 1928 Andrew Jack
son received 17S votes and J. @. Adams
SO. President Jackson was reelected
in 1892 by 219 votes to 81 for Clay, Floyd
and Writ. In 1886 Martin Van Buren,
received ITO votes to ia divided be-
tween Harrison, White, Webster and
Mangum. In 1S40 Harrison received
234 and Van Buren so. In 1874 James
X. Polk receiypd 10 VOTES and (,lay
105. In 1S4S Zachary Taylor was elected
by 169 votes to Lewis Cass 127. In 1852
Franklin Pierce was elected by 296
votes, Winfield Scott receiving AZ.
James Buchanan was elected by 175 to
113 for Fremont. In 1860 Abraham
Lincoln received 1S0 votes and Doug
lass, Breckenridge and Bell 123. Presi-
dent Lincoln was reelected by vote
of 212 of the BOB votes. In 1868 U. s.
Grant received 214 and Seymour sc
votes. These dates and votes are not
collected from official documents, but
are believed to be correct.

grace from that quarter. The world is
not likely soon to forget that the Re
publicans are fairly entitled, on an hon
est vote, to at least six of the Southern
States. Had South Carolina, Florida,
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana and
Arkansas been permitted to vote with
out fraud or systematic intimidation,
nobody doubts that they would have
been SO strongly Republican as to re-
move all doubt of the result of the cleo
tion. Now for the papers that have
silently acquiesced in the Democratic
style of doing things in those States
that have even approved and commen-
ded the prescription there practiced, to
set up a whine about '.frauds,' is to
the last degree impertinent. There is
no evidence to warrant this outcry, but
on the contrary the news coming in
from three of the States named, indi-
Gates that there will be no need, if there
were a disposition, to pay back the
Democrats in their own coin.

Democratic Tactics in Florida.

The Democratic leaders of Florida
now realize the false position in which
they have been placing themselves by
asking that the canvassing of the presi-
Dental vote shall begin while they are
holding back returns from several
strong Democratic counties, particu'
larly from Polk county. In 1874 this
county cast 337 Democratic to Repub-
lican votes. Not one scintilla of evil
dence, official OF otherwise, has been
received as to the result there this year,
and returns could be easily altered toe
late for detection to sufficient extent
to take the state away from Hayes.

Mr.. Frost, the Democratic candidate

Bets on.

The privilege of withdrawing bets
made ON the presidential election, which
was accorded Tuesday by John Morris
sey to those of the betting fraternity
who had deposited wagers in his hands,
was taken advantage of by large num-
Der of betting men. Bets were with
drawn by mutual consent of those max
ing them, Morrissey in every case being
allowed to deduct the amount of his
commission for holding the stakes.
Morrissey said that his action had been
with the desire of accommodating those
of his patrons who preferred to call
their wagers off.

Not Very Good Prospect for an Olt
Maid.

A gentleman of standing and un-
doubted veracity, who recently arrived
in New York from San Francisco, has
given currency to the report that Til
den is afhanced to Miss Carrie Gwyn,
a lady about 35 years of age, and a
daughter of Duke Gwyn, formerly a
wealthy land owner Of Tennessee, a
United States senator, confederate
sympathizer and Mexican nobleman,
now resident of San Francisco, and
an active politician. Engagement was
made at Saratoga, during the stay of
Tilden at that place in the summer, and
while he was preparing his now famous
letter of acceptance. The marriage is
to be consummated upon Tilden's ac-
cession to the presidential chair.
Miss Gwyn, it is said, is now in
Europe awaiting the counting of the
electoral vote.

All men who avoid female society

man can derive from q woman's society
is that he is bound to be respectful to
her. The habit is of great good to

est benefit that we have is to think Of
somebody to whom we are bound to be
constantly attentive and respectful. -
