In early colonial days the best rum

Of anything came TO be known locally
as Aux Cages or o. X. The term did
not, however, pass into general use
until the presidential carpaign Of
1928, when the very much supposed
illitcracy of Andrew jackson. the
Democratic candidate, was the stock
in trade of his Wig opponents
Seba Smith, the humorist writ
ing under the name OF Major

Jackson indorsed his papers o. h,
under the impression that they formed
the initials of Ion Korrect" 1t is not
impossib that the general did use
this Endorsement and that it was used
by other people also. But Mr.. Parton
discovered in the records of the Nash
Vile court, of which jackson was judge
before he became president, numerous
documents indorsed o. r., meaning
order recorded. He urges, therefore,
that it was a record of that court with
some belated business which Major
Downing saw on the desk of the presi-
Dental candidate. However this may
be, the Democrats in lieu of denying
the charge, adopted the letters o. X.
as a sort of party cry, and fastened
them on their banners.
