The following derivation Of the slang
phrase "ROwed up Salt river" 70 express
the condition Of q defeated candidate for
Offce, is thus explained by Bayard Taylor;
'Formeriy there were extensive salt works
on Salt river, Ohio, a short distance from
its mouth. The lAborers employed in them
were q set OF athletic, belligerent fellows
who soon became known far and wide for
their achievements in the pugilistic line.
Henee it became common for the boatmen
on the Ohio, when one Of their number be-
came refractory. 70 say to him, Well row
you up Salt river when, Of course, the
buriy salt men would have the handling
OF him. By natural figure Of speech, the
expression was applied to political cAndi-
dates-frst, believe, In the presidential
campaign Of 1870" A better explanation
OF the phrase than that given BY Mr.. Tay-
lor above seems TO be that In the early days
the mouth OF Salt river was q favOrite
stronghold Of the river pirates, who preyed
on the commerce Of the Ohio, and roWed
their plumber up Salt river.
A friend suggests a third probable deE4-
walton Of thu phrase He says that he has
heard il applied TO defeated candidates as
Tar back IS 1893, and that it originated in
1882, when Henry Clay, as candidate for
the presidency, had an engagement to
sneak at Louisville, KY. He had employed
q boatmsn 70 row him up the Ohio. Now
this boatman was a Jackson Democrat; be
pretended 70 have lost his way, aud instead
Of rowing up the Ohio turned into Salt
river. This caused Clay much delay, for
he did not reach Louisville until the day
