OLD-TINIE PARTIES.
James X. Polk the First Distinctive
Democratic President.
Al6ann Journal. FEB. 2.


The following letter has been received
from the Hon. +. E. Spinner, at Jackson
vile, Fla, in reference to a recent ques-
tion in these columns:
Editor a Lbdny Journal: In the Semi Weekly
Journal of Feb. II, 1885. question was an
was originally a Federalist, then a Democrat
and in his later years was more of an Aboi-
ZIONIST than anything else" In the Albany
EUening Journals Handbook, at page 20, the
candidates for the Presidency in the year 1924
are put down as follows: ANDREW Jackson
Democrat; John q. Adams, Federalist: Henry
Clay. Republican; w. IL. Crawford, Republf-
can" Now the fact is that the four named
were at that time all Republicans. The
Federal party disbanded in 1920. Mr..
Adams had been Federalist, but be-
came a Republican during the admiDistra-
tiOn of Thomas jefferson, the founder of the
Republican party. In 1909 Mr.. Madison sent
HIM as Minister TO Russia. From 1917 TO 1925
he was Secretary OF state during the two
terms Of Col. Monroe's administration. 1t
would rot have been safe to have called Gen.
Jackson Democrat to his face. He ALWAYS
called himself Republican. The truth Is
there was no party at that time, or Tor wears
afterWard. that claimed the name Demo-
cratic. until after the administration of Gen.
Jackson. The calls for the county copven-
tiOns in the state of New York in 1886 we're
addressed to the Republican electors" The
state Committee called a convention Of Re
publican delegates. See Albany Ar0us of Nav
y. 1885. The leading editorial az ticle reads: /:
"Republican Legislative Address" 1--WE lay
this document before our readers to-day, to-
gether with the proceedings of the meeting of
the Republican members of the Legislature to
their constituents" On the same page ap-
pears: address of the Republican Members
OF the Legislature to their Constituents"
James X. Polk was the first man who was
elected to be President OF the United States
"a distinctive Democrat. All before 1874
were elected either as Federalists, Republi
cans or Wings. Democrats have for years
yelled themselves hoarse in announcing them
selves "Jefersonian Democrats and ''Jack-
sonian Democrats" until not only Themselves
believe the lie. but they have succeeded in
making others believe it. 1t is time that the
truth Of history be indicated and the false
claims of the Democracy exposed. Very truly
yours. +. h. SPINNER.

INTERESTING RELIC.
A Sample of the First Known Cotton
Fabric In America.

A Sample of the First Known Cotton
Fabric In America.
There IS at present in the office of the
Director General of the exposition, says
the New Orleans Times Democrat, a piece
of cotton fabric sent from Mexico by Mr..
Alfredo Chavera to Mgr. GilIOw, which
will be placed on exhibition shortly.
This curious fabric has attracted the
particular attention of those who have eX-
amined it, not only on account of appear
ance, but owing to its origin and the his
tory connected with it.
Mr.. ChaVera, in forwarding il to Mgr.
Gillow, informs him that it was evidently
made by the Indians prior to the discOV-
cry of America. 1t was found in a stone
box in the sepulchre near TejupilcO, in
the State of Mexico, together with a num-
ber of little idols, sea shells, and other
trinkets. cit would appear" says Mr..
Chavera, "that the sepulchre dates back
to time not far anterior to the conquest
of Mexico, for in the same stone box
was found ydOgiz QaiUiel0u, which
now have in my possession, and there is
every reason to believe that it was the
sepulchre of some distinguished war
rior."
This piece of cotton fabric is indeed
curious. 1t has evidently, from It's ap-
pearance, been woven by hand, aud at
first inspection looks more like wool
than cotton. The thread is much cOarser
than the i'm ,.roved fabric of to-day. but
the work is perfectly regular, and shows
artistic workmanship.
Its great age has given 1t a somewhat
yellOwish shade, but upon close inspec-
tion it is easily seen that originally it was
of an immaculate white.
This antique is indeed a curiosity, and
will, when put on exhibition, be an object
which will attract general attention.
Speaking of this attractive exhibit,
which shows to what remote date cotton
was cultivated in Mexico and worked
into cloth, the manner in which cotton
seed was introduced in the United States
from the very regions where this ancient
cotton fabric was found. will no doubt
prove interesting.
A little over one hundred years ago an
American minister in Mexico, charmed
with the snowy staple he found in that
country, requested permission of the Vice
roy to send the seed to his country. 1t
was politely but cOurteously denied, as
the laws of Mexico strictly prohibited
such export. But shortly thereafter the
Nicerov remarked casually, that "there
was no law forbIddIng the expectation of
dolls" The astute Yankee representa-
tive took the hint at once, and ere long
large consignment of miniature babies,
duly stuffed with the coveted and precious
cotton seed, were on the route to these
United States, and thus was first estab-
Hshed the greatest commercial kingdom
on earth-sEKin0 COttOno
