The Personal Element In II.

Ofthe many things that can be said to
the honor OF tho now President-elect, net
the least Is that he furnishes In his per-
son the only example OF a President
chosen for one term, defeated in the ne1t
and rechosen for the next in succession,
beating in tie last contest the competitor
who had beaten him in tho preceding
one. Mr.. Jefferson was elected over
Aaron Burr in 1900 after having been de-
fcated by John Adams four years be-
fore, and he was reelected to succeed
himself four years afterwards; and GEN
eral Jackson was elected over John
Quincy Adams in 1928 after having been
beaten-if it can be called beaten-by
Adams four years before, and at the no1t
trial four years later ho was reelected
over Mr.. Clay.
-Four Presidents. Quincy Adams, Mar
tin Van Buren,, Grover Cleveland and
Benjamin Harrison, have had tho expe-
the Presidential chnir; ono OF them,
Benjamin Harrison, has had the expert
ence Of being beaten by tho same antag
onist over whom he was elected four
years before; two ofthcm, General Jack
son and Mr.. Cleveland, have been elect
ed over the antagonists who defeated
them in the previous contest; and one
only, Mr.. Cleveland, has enjoyed the rare
honor Of being beneficiary OF the peo-
ple's sober second thought in being
chosen for q second term with au in
terval Of defeat between the two. II it
was cause for satisfaction to Mr.. Harri-
son 10 have beaten the incum bent in 1883
it is cause for still creator satisfaction to
Mr. Cleveland to hnvo done the same
thing in 1892 and mado things even
with his old antagonist at the saulo time.
