but even moro nomentous In Its conse-
auences was the long battle between
Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay. When
Jackson first ran for the Presidency in
1924 the candidates opposing him were
Adams, Crawford and Clay. None OF the
four secured majority OF the electoral
college. and the election thus deyolved
upon the House with choice to be made
from the three candidates-Adams. Craw-
ford and Jackson--who had received the
most electoral votes. This debarred Clay,

between two evils. announced that he
had decided to support Adams. But
Clay's determination no sooner became
known than some of Jackson's friends
attempted to drive him from It. The
weapon used for this purpose recalls one
OF the most discreditable incidents in
our political history.
A few days before the time set for the
election in the House a letter appeared
in a Philadelphia newspaper asserting
that Clay had agreed to support Adams
upon condition that he be made Secretary
of State. The same terms. the letter al
legged had been offered to Jackson's
friends, but none OF them would descend
to such mean barter and sale. The let

Enemy Defeated Blaine.


The influence OF a personal enemy twice
cost James G. Blaine the Presidency, In
1876 he lost a nomination that was equiv
alent to an election by his refusal to- give
a certain man the place he wanted on q
certain committee John Cessna, OF Penn
sylvania, besought Blaine. while the lat
ter was speaker, to make him chairman
of the Judiciary Committee OF the House.
Blaine declined and gave the place TO
another man. When the Republican
national convention opened in Cincinnati

"and IL / don't beat Blaine you can take

The American Mining Congress


The seventh session Of the
American Mining Congress adj
iourned at Portland last week at
ter having one Of the most sue.
cessful sessions in the history OF
the organization. 1t adopted
Denver as the permanent head
quarters, after lively contest in
which Salt Lake was the conspic-
uous figure. A large delegation
OF Salt Lake men was there to
present the advantages OF that
city, and Judge Powers made the
closing speech, or what was in
tended for the closing speech be-
/ fore bringing it to a vote, and had
his audience worked up to a high
enthusiasm for the city by the
lake; but Late Pence of Idaho,
/ formerly OF Colorado, spoke IN
behalf Of Denver, and in a few
words Of commonplace remarks
he turned the tide to Denver so
completely that nothing could be
done to recover it. The first blow
he dealt was: 'sWhen a man
speaks OF Denver, people think OF
the mining industry; when any
one speaks Of Salt Lake, they
think of some other industry"
daughter. The Salt Lake men
asked him to explain what indus
try he meant and the irrepresslble
Pence went on to say, "a man III
Denver is entitled to more than
4 .
one-mine. In Salt Lake, a man
is entitled to more than one shall
| say it! prospect" More
; laughter One of the Salt Lake
men whose wife was at his side
rose and said that this kind OF
proceeding was an insult to wom-
anhood, and the two delegations
descended from oratory to short,
sharp arguments. The next day
the matter of permanent location
was put to a vote and Denver
won. The ladies of Portland pre-
J scented bunch of roses to LATE
Pence, but the spokesman who
was supposed to have been drink
ing line or two, broke down in
making the speech of presenta
!. ton. James H. Hawley, w. E,
Borrah and others of Boise tele-
graphed the congress that LATE
Pence did not represent Idaho
and the sentiment Of her people.
| A Salt Lake hotel man who had
cashed draft for Pence, which
| had been returned to him union
ored, immediately proceeded to
prosecute Pence for obtaining
money under false pretenses.
