defeated in 1886 and elected in 1910.
Cleveland was elected in 1884, defeated
in 1883, and elected again in 1892,

Whether a candidate who has re-
ceived the popular vote of the coun-
try, and still lacks enough electoral
votes to give him the election, feels
altogether defeated or not it would be
hard to tell, as we have no record of
the opinions of the three men who
have had this unique experience.
Jackson, Tilden and Cleveland went
into the unsuccessful list with large
popular vote. The people apparently
were with them and yet the large vote
they polled was so distributed as to
lose them the election.
Jackson was the first presidential
candidate to have this experience, he
polling a plurality of $4,000 votes over
that of Adams. Tilden had the large
plurality of $50, 1886 over Hayes in 1876,
and Cleveland in 1888 had nearly 100,-
900 more votes than Harrison.
1t is often stated that Horace Gree
ley was the worst defeated candidate
for president, but this is not strictly
true. While no electoral votes were
cast for him, he having died after the
election and before the meeting of the
electoral college, still the G realey
ticket polled 80 of the electoral votes.

Gen. Winfield Scott in 1852, only AZ

made fearful havoc amongst the enemy's
artillerymen Scarce a man escaped,
except those who crept under their gun
carriages, and thus put themselves out
of the reach of our mems swords. This
was the moment when a general was
most required, but unfortunately Lord
Cardigan was not then present. On COM
ing up to the battery las he afterward
himself described it, a gun was fired
close to him, and for a moment he
thought his leg was gone. Such was not
the case, as he remained unhurt; how
ever, his horse took fright, swerved
round, and galloped off with him to the
rear, passing on the way the Fourth
Light Dragons and Eighth Hussars,
before these regiments got up to the bat
terry. The enemy's cavalry had been
posted in rear of their guns, and on the
advance of the British some of their
squadrons had been withdrawn to the
higher ground on each flank, the in
fantry remaining in it's old position
(behind the guns, and these the cavalry
had next to attack. However, the Rus
SLAMS did not wait to be assailed, but
on the approach of the men ran back
to some brushwood behind them, where,
of course, they could not be followed.
At this time the whole squadron that
composed the first, and a great portion
of the second line, were in considerable
disorder. No blame was to be attached

to anyone for this, as so many officers
had been either killed, wounded, or had
their horses shot under them. The
amazing number of riderless horses that
were galloping about, many of them
wounded and wild with fright, added also
to the general confusion. Some of the
cavalry chased the Russians almost
down to the Tchernaya river, but then,
of course, had to return on their ex-
hausted horses to rejoin the brigade.
AS soon as the Russians saw that all the
squadrons had arrived at the guns, they
sent large body of Cossacks of the
Don to cut off the retreat. This was
first observed by one of the troop officers
of the Eighth Hussars (Which regiment
was in the rear of the brigade), who
Immediately rode up and informed Col.
SheWell, the commanding officer, of this
movement by the enemy's cavalry. Col.
ShewelI at once ordered his regiment to
wheel about, which, being done, he gave
the word to charge, and was himself

feeble resistance, and this single squad

advance and take any opportunity that
might offer to recapture the heights from
which the Russians had driven the
Turks. This opportunity did not occur,
according to the view that Lord Lucan
took of the matter. Half an hour later,
Lord Raglan sent another message to
Lord Lucan 1t was as follows: Lord
Raglan wishes the cavalry to advance
rapidly to the front, follow the enemy,
and try to prevent the enemy carrying
away the guns. Troop of horse artillery
may accompany. French cavalry is on
your left. Immediate" This order was
entrusted to Capt. Nolan, a cavalry OFF,
Ger of great experience. What followed
is best told in the words of a staff officer

When the order was delivered to Lord
Lucan, he demurred for a moment put

guns, with artillery also on each flank.
Capt. Nolan appears to have totally mis-
understood the instructions he had re-
ceived: the guns" in the written order,
of course, alluded to those the enemy
had captured in the redoubts, and were,
it was thought, carrying away; and the
direction which Nolan pointed out to
Lord Lucan was quite contrary to that

Lucan appears to have considered that
he was bound to charge the enemy, and
therefore made arrangements to carry
out the object which, he supposed, Lord
Raglan had in view. lie consequently
communicated with Lord Cardigan, and
desired him to form the light brigade
into two lines. Lord Cardigan urged
the uselessness of making such an at
tack, but Lord Lucan replied that his
orders were imperative. The fatal order
to advance was then given, and to the
horror of all on the heights above, the
handful of light cavalry advanced down
towards the Russian batteries.
AS they started into trot, poor Nolan
galloped some way in front of the
Brigade, waving his sword, and encour-
aging the men by voice and gesture.
Before, however, they had gone any dis
lance, the enemy's guns opened on them
at long range. Nolan was the first man
killed; some grape shot hit him in the
chest; his horse turned and carried him

from his saddle, near the spot where
the order had been given for the charge.

were punched in the election OF 1850,
when Adams was elected president,
there being II others who received
votes in the electoral college for presi-
dent to succeed Washington.
Strange as it may sound 1t is the
indisputable record of history that
there were Ii defeated candidates for
president when Washington was first
elected in 1889, and four when he was
reelected in 1892. But when one re-
members that the members in the
electoral college voted only for presi-
dent, and the two candidates having
the highest number of votes were de-
clared president and vice president, re-
spectively, the situation is somewhat
explained
There was one election in the his
tory of the country which did not have
a single defeated candidate for presi-
dent, this circumstance arising when
Monroe was reelected in 1920. All of
the electors chosen were expected to
vote for Monroe, there being no other
candidate, and the entire 232 votes of
the electoral college would have been
cast for Monroe had not sentiment
prompted one of the electors of New
Hampshire to cast his vote for Adams
so that it could not be said that any
candidate had ever been unanimously
chosen president of the United States
save Washington.
When Jefferson was elected in 1904
Pickney was the only other candidate.
In 1872, when Madison was elected,
Clinton was the only defeated candi
date. In 1928, Adams was the only
opponent of Jackson, the latter being
elected. And on two other occasions
there has been but one defeated candi-
date, in 1864 the reelection of Lincoln
being contested by Mcclellan, and
Grant in 1868 having Horatio Seymour
as his only opponent in the political
arena. The tendency of late years has
been to multiply the parties, so that
there is now always a long list OF de-
feated candidates.
Jefferson stands at the head Of the
list of defeated candidates, losing the
election in 1896 to Adams. But four
wears later this able and democratic
father of democracy" as he has been
called, had the satisfaction of turning
the tables upon Adams, and forcing
him into the list of defeated candi-
dates.
With a few rare exceptions, candi-
dates who have been defeated for the
Office Of president once have stayed
down and out, that is they have never
in any subsequent election been able to
turn defeat into victory. George Gin
ton furnished the most remarkable in
stance of this kind, he having received
votes for president in four separate
elections, and never was elected except
to the vice presidency IA 1904.
The only other instance of defeat
ed presidential candidate being elected
to the vice presidency at subsequent
election is furnished in the case OF
Thomas A. Hendricks, who was one or
six other candidates in the political
arena with Gen Grant in 1872, and
was elected vice president on the
Cleveland ticket in 1884.
C. G. Pickney, of South Carolina,
who ran four separate times for the
presidency, was not even fortunate
enough to score for the vice presi-
dency.
