THEY HAVE CONTROLLED
ELECTIONS.

Kew York. Dec. 29.-(Speclal.)
Tn the ffty-fourth congress third
party will hold the balance of pow.
rrin the senate of the United
States for the first time in the his
tory Of American politics. 1t is
not probable that the Populists
Min be able to secure much legs-
laticn along the ljles Of the nation
j pIatfoum Of the party, but an in
tcrpstinc chapter will be added to
the history Of third parties in thi.
country.
4 tLird party appeared in a ma
tional campaign for the first time
fiji 1892 with candidates for presi,
Dent and vice president. Since
that time there have been only
three national elections-those Of
1896. 1864, and 1S6S-in which
there was no third party candidate
for president. During that time
ten seperate and distinct third
PARTIES appeared in the field and
several of them took part in two
or more campaigns under different
names each time, but advocating
substantially the same principles,
In only five elections did the can
didates of any third party obtain
anv votes in the electoral college,
but several times they succeeded
in changing the course of history
and in shaping political events.
In 1914 the liberty party defeat.
ed Henry CLAY, the whig candi.
date. for president, although it did
not secure a single electoral vote
for its own candidate, James G.
Birnev, of New York. The vote
for Birney in New York State in
the election of 1914 was 1882,
drawn, almost entirely from the
wings. which enabled Polk to chr
nv the State by a small plurality
and secure the electoral vote. In
the electoral college Polk had 10
votes and Clay 1e5. II Clay had
carried New York. the vote would
have been CLAY, al; Polk. 1874.
-Four wears later a third party
again turned the scale in tho ma
tional election, but that time they
turned against the Democrats. and
for the second time the result hing.
ed on the vote of the State of New
York. The free soil party nomi.
mated Martin Van Buren, for presi.
dent and Charles Francis Adams
COR vice president. At that time
there was a strong anti-slavery ele-
ment in the Democratic party in
New York. They were known as
"barn burners" but, in that cam.
paign, they were allied with the
tree soil party and voted for Van
Barren instead Of Lewis Cass, the
Democratic candidate. The result
was that Taylor, the whig candi.
date, carried the State. Van Blu.
rem got 12o,5lo votes in the State,
5000 more than Cass. The vote
for Taylor was nearly 10000 less
than the combined vote Of Cass
and Van Buren,.
In several campaigns third par.
tie, succeeded in dividing the old
parties IN various Staess, and they
have always been able to inject :
large amount OF bitterness into 20.
litical contests.

Writ, the famous virginia la"yel'
who had twice been attorney gen.
eral of the United States, was
nominated for president and Amos
Ellmaker, of Pennsylvania, for
vice president. Then the two reg
ular parties decided to call conven-
tons and nominate candidates.
The whig or national republican
party, as it was then called, held
its convention in December OF the
same year, and the Democratic
convention was held in the same
city in the following March. Plat
forms were adopted by the old par
ties in that campaign for the first
time. The new party adopted no
platform. Writ, its candidate tor
president. carried the State OF
Vermont and received seven cleo
toral votes.
The anti. Masonic party was
short lived, and no other third par
tv had been organized to take its
place in the campaign OF 1856
The Liberty Party.
On November 10, 1888, the lib,
erty party was organized at a con-
vention that met at Warsaw, n.
Y, and adopted the shortest po-
litical platform on record. This
was the platform in full:
"Resoivod That in our judy
ment, every lylside -a,i1n Of duty
and expedieucy which ought to
control the action Of Christian free
men requires Of tho abolitionists
of the United States to organize a
distinct and Independent political
party, embracing all the necessa,
ry means for nominating candi-
dates for office and sustaining them
by public suffrage"
The convention then adjourned
to meet in Albany April /, 1910.
At the adjourned meeting the con-
vention nominated James G. Biz.
ney, for president and Francis
Lemoyne, of Pennsylvania, for
i i
vice president. A political tidal
wave swept the country that year
electing Gen. William Henry Har.
rlson president with a majority OF
ia electoral votes. In the popu.
lar vote tho candidates OF the lib.
erty party received olly 1858.
-Four years later the party con-
ventlon met at Buffalo and renom-
mated Birney, who was then a
resident OF Michigan, forpresident,
and Thomas Morris, of Ohio, for
vice president. They adopted an
anti. slavery bill. That year the
totai popuilst vote ior DirN was
62, 800, more than one-f%th Of
which were cast in Ne1 York
state, where they tur1ed the seal Q
IN favor OF James X. Polk and
made him president.
The Free Sellers.
In 1S4S the liberty party had
been succeeded by the free soil
party, which held national con.
vention at Buffalo on August 9th
and 10th and nominated Van Blu.
rem and Adams. They were SUP.
ported by the abolitionists and the
barn burners" of this state, and
polled enough votes to defeat Cass,
the Democratic candidate for pres.
ident, and elect Zachary Taylor.
