To the Editor of the Republic:
As the administration of Monroe was
drawing to close, the ''era of good feel
ing," as it was called, passed away. Par
tyism was bitter. The nominations for the
presidency, had, on former occasions. been
made by members of congress, acting in a
convention capacity. Thus, in 1924, John
Quincy Adams was nominated, but several
IsDEPENDENT candidates appeared-Gen-
eral jackson, of Tennessee, Henry Clay. of
Kentucky, and VIM. Fl. Crawford, Of Gsor-
gia. Each candidate received support from
his section of country. As no one received
the required number of electoral votes be-
fore the people, il devolved upon the house
of representatives to elect a president. Mr..
Adams was the successful man. jackson
and Adams were the opposing candidates
for the presidency in 1928. jackson
was elected. In 1882. Andrew Jack
son was again candidate. and Henry
Clay being an INDEPENDENT candidate
was badly defeated by jackson. Mr.. Clay
was candidate for nomination before the
first whig national convention, held at Har-
risbuIg, Pa, in 1889. General Harrison
received the plum and was elected presi-
dent. Mr.. Clay was the unanimous choice
of the whig party in 1874. for nomination,
but was defeated by James X. Polk at the
national election. Mr.. Clay's name was
before the whig national in 1913, but was
defeated for nomination by General Tay-
lor. Taylor was elected president over
Cass. Henry Clay was never nominated
but once, for the presidency, by political
party. w. X. CALHooN.

To the Editor Of the Republic:
As the press Of this city have been car
rying on discussion as to how many times,
and in what manner Henry Clay became q
candidate for president of the United
States, and none of the articles have been
historically correct, permit me to give q
correct statement.
First.-Henry Clay was not the candidate
in 1928, but was at that time secretary OF
state under John Quincy Adams, who was
elected by the house OF representatives In
1926 and was the candidate in 1928 and
defeated by Andrew jackson.
Second.-Clay was q candidate In 1894,
1882 and 1874. He was never nominated
by a congressional caucus. In 1924 Craw-
ford was the nominal caucus nominee, but
that kind Of nominations had lost favor
with the people.
"Ciay was first nominated as candidate
for the presidency by the members Of the
Kentucky legislature in November, 1899. +"
biography of Clay by Schurz, l VOL, p.
s2s.
In 1924 the candidates were nominated
by their friends, without either caucus or
convention. Caucuses had become unpop-
ular and conventions had not vet come into
practice.
Third-The first regular nomination he
received was on December 12. 1881, in the
city of Baltimore, by the National Republi-
can convention.
Fourth-His second nomination was by
the Whig convention at Baltimore on May
l, 1874.

Several newspapers are worrying very
m'es about James G. Blaine. We think
that all uncalled for. His Florence letter
settled the presidential matter as far he is
concerned. He meant what he said and
said what he meant, and the meaning 10 by
no means obscure. He is not a presiden-
tial candidate. Editors who ara attempting
to show otherwise and editors who are at
tempting to show that he was insincere in
that matter should soothe themselves. The
letter speaks for itself and is clearer than
they can make it.

We respectfully refer the able editor O.
the Champion City Times to the commun-
ications in today's REPUBLIC from Mr.. J.
T. McGrsw and Mr.. Calhoon,
bearing upon the historical ques
ton now vexing said able ed.
itor's brain (if he has one). The able ed
itor, Of the smart Aleck order, will also
observe that the RErUBLIc was correct In
its statement regarding the candidacy of
Mr.. Clay, except that his second candidacy
was in 1882 and not 1928. which error was
at once obvious 10 every one familiar with
history. But this able editor, while
attempting to correct US, was not even able
TO discover this very obvious error which
We did make. but only succeeded in dis
playing his further historical Ignorance by
attempting to show errors which we did
not make.
Weare well aware that political convcn-
tions were unknown in 1924 and 1928, and
we also know that the congressional NOM
inee in 1924 was William Il. Crawford, of
Georgia, Mr.. Clay being an inde-
pendent candidate, nominated by no
body. In 1882 Andrew jackson
was nominated by caucus or convention
which afterwards developed into the demo-
cratic party. Mr.. Clay was again an indie
pendent candidate. The first and only reg
uar nomination which he ever received was
by the Baltimore convention, in 1874, as
stated In the REPUBLIC Saturday.
We respectfully refer the able editor to
any authentic United States history, or to
Carl Schurz's biography Of Clay, also to
volume 4, page 652 Of the American Cyclic
pedia. The fact that our former correc-
tion, of his historical mistakes, appeared in
the local or news columns seems to worry
the would-be editor, consequently,
this is placed in the editorial column,
though both that and this were written by
the same person.
The small portion Of the public who may |
have seen the Timers editorial will under
stand that like most of the editorial and |
local news in that paper, IT is little bit un-
reliable and deceptive"

street don't know about political history

Chinese History.
EVERY DAYS EVENTS ARE RECORDED DIARY FAsBIo,
BY A COMMISSION OF LITERARY MEN.

EVERY DAYS EVENTS ARE RECORDED DIARY FASHION
BY A COMMISSION OF LITERARY MEN.
From the North China Herald.
Chinese history is compiled by permanent COM
mission OF accomplished literary men, who are al
ways at work upon It. In 1877 an imperial edict
stated that history ought not To be written for the
emperor's use only and remain shut up In golden
caskets and marble chambers; 1t ought to be made
-acesssible to Al omcials, that they may know the
mind OF the emperor and the laws OF the land
From the Chinese standpoint, history Is divided
into Two parts, one an exact narrative Of events.
The other record OF what the emperor has
said ana done. This division originates two
sets OF publications; one In which the
officers speak, the other in which the emperor Is
the spokesman. In the 1rst, the industry Of the
bureau OF history Is run in the collection OF facts
but there Is always danger that the recorder
may be under strong court influence. Histori-
cal candor can scarcely ind place in reference TO
nations or persons who have been in conflict with
the court. With this exception the array OF facts
thus recorded is most valuable. The edlcts pub
Shed In the second series express the mind Of the
emperor. He Is always man who has the ad-
vantage OF good training, and II his style is
t0leraDe and he happens TO be fond OF writing his
edictS himself they will all be transmitted to
future times In full The scribes, who stand
writing when he speaks, translate his spoken
words into ofncial phrases, and his opinions and
decisions Will then pass into Official history.
written partly by himself and partly by the scrtbes
OF the cabinet. Beside these there are various
series OF historical works-the first having been
prepared In the eleventh century-to popularize
the subject and place the chief facts Of the
annals within the reach OF common readers who
have not the opportunity to study them in full.
