for Lieutenant Governor. Nevertheless, DE
Witt Clinton was not entirely laid low. for
the April elections In 1912 had returned n
Federalist Assembly which seleoteda council
Of appointment favorable to Clinton's
restoration to the Mayoralty OF New York
city, although Il removed every other
Republican throughout the State. The red
~eralista again carried the Assembly In
April, 1913, and thus again Clinton was
secured against d~islodgment. In 1914, how
ever, the Republicans won the Legislature,
and Clinton's opponents obtaining control
of the Council Of appointment removed
him from the Mayorafy. HOW great a
part De Witt Clinton was yet to play In the
history Of his State NO one could foresee.
At least one man in the State, however
namely Gov. Tompkins, who had him
self been triumphantly reelected, realized
that no statesman had lived In his day
In whom the people had shown greater
confidence thar they had in Do Witt Clin-
ton, and he must have felt that 1t was only
a question OF time when Clinton would again
make OF his enemies his footstool. Mean
while II 10 well known that Tompkins,
defeated mainly by Martin Van Buren's
intrigues In his aspirations for the
Presidency, accepted In 1910 the Republican
nomination for Vice. President, an Office for
which he wa renominated in 1920. II he
did not resent taking the second place
as George Clinton had resented 1t in 1908
It wal because he had become alive to the
necessity. Of making himself known to the
nation and recognized that from this point
Of view the Presidency might be made
a step on the political ladder.
A review Of Mr.. A~lexander's work may
be divided most conveniently at this point,
when Daniel D. Tompkins was transferred
from the stage Of the State to that OF the
nation, and when De Witt Clinton, In his
temporary retirement from public office,
devoted his leisure to the contamination
Of the memorable work which was to trans-
NIT his name to a remote posterity. The
forty-four years which interviewed between
March 4, 1917, and March 4, 1851, were to
witness Dc Witt Clinton's great economical
achievement and triumphant return to the
political arena, the careers Of Martin Van
Buren,, silas Wright and William L.. Marcy
on the one side and those OF William b.
Seward, Thurlow Weed and Horace Greeley
on the other. We reserve for a subsequent
notice an outline OF that interesting period.

To comprehend the States political his
tory during the forty-four years that fol-
lowed the adoption Of its first Constitution
1t il needful to recall the main features
OF that instrument, which was framed by
John Jay and accepted by a State conven-
ton on April 20, 1777. Although the first
v-tjcIe Of this organic Law declares that no
authority shall be exercised over the people
II the State but such as shall be granted
by them, the regulation Of the franchise,
which tho document goes on to make,
shows that In the mind Of the Trainer the
word people wa narrowly defined. Mem
bers OF the Assembly, or popular branch
of the State Legislature corresponding
20 the Provincial Assembly Of the Colony
or Province Of New York; were apportioned
TO the fourteen counties, according to the
number Of qualified voters. For the election
OF Senators-the Senate was modelled upon
the former Council or upper house Of the
P~rovince-the State was divided into four
great districts" three members being
allowed to the eastern, nine to the southern,
elk TO the middle and six to the Western
district, Only q male citizen Of full age,
possessing q freehold Of tho value of a3o,
or renting q tenement Of the yearly value

Stale opposed the nomlnauon, nowing
that Republicans outside OF New York could
scarcely support itbtoausso Of itsirregularlty.
Nevertheless, on the day Of his nomina-
ton, d. Witt Clinton believed his chances
to be more than even. He counted on q
majority composed Of malcontent Northern
Republicans and OF F~ederansts. The best
obtainable information indicated that three
Republicans In the Massachusetts, Legisla-
ture would unite with the Federalist mem
bers to name Clinton electors; that the rest
Of New England would act with Massa-
chusetts, and that Clinton would also OBJ
tain support In New Jersey, Delaware, Ohio,
Maryland, North Carol lima and possibly
Virginia. IF Pennsylvania should be COM
bined," Clinton said to Gouvsrneur Nor
ris, u would come out all right As late
as the middle. OF September, 1912, Rufus
King (who was earnestly opposed to Gin
toni expressed the opinion to Christopher
Gore that while North Carolina was still
uncertain Delaware. New Jersey and Mary
land would probably become Clintonian,
although Pennsylvania and Vermont would
be Democratic and Madisonian." On Sep
tember is q Federalist convention Of sixty
or more delegates from all the States north
Of the Potomac recommended that, az It
would be i~neIpedient to name q Federal
candidate. because impraoticable to elect
one, Fsdsralists should cooperate in the
election OF Q President who would be Hkely
to pursue q policy different from Maidstone.
Thanks mainly to Martin Van Buren,, who
was Clinton , representative In the New
York Legislature, Clintonian Presidential
electors were chosen, and Clinton also car
ried New Hampshire, Massachusetts,, Rhode
Island, Connecticut and Delaware. besides
getting five votes in Maryland. A change
OF twenty votes from one side to the other
in the remaining States would nave made him
President, instead Of Madison.
After his defeat for the Presidency 1t
looked as9f Clinton's influence In the Re-
publican party was waning and In February,
1873, when . Legislative oauous renominated

jay, Robert r. Livingston, William Duer
and James Duane. On the other hand,
John Lansing, who was to succeed Robert
r, Livingston as Chancellor: Samuel Jones,
the ffrst State Comptroller; Melancthon
Smith, who had been at the head Of the anti
Federalist forces in the New York State
convention, and Gilbert Livingston Of
Duchess county. who had been one Of the
champions Of tie Federal Constitution,
Glove to Clinton, who, of course, could
slso RELY on the services Of Gen. James
Clinton, his brother and the father Of De Witt
Clinton. The result Of the contest, which
was sharp and bitter, was a majority for
George Clinton, who thus became Governor
for. the fifth time. Foreseeing that the
struggle would be renewed in 1892, Clinton
won over AARON Burr, who had just been
one OF his opponents, by appointing him
Attorney General. and In 17el he brought
about the secession OF most Of the Living
stons, throughan agreement to make Morgan
Lewis, the Chanoellor's brother-in-law
Attorneys General in place Of Burr, who
was sent to the United States Senate by a
small majority Of the Legislature. In
1892 Alexander Hamilton induced John Jay,
Chief Justice Of the United States Supreme
Court, 10 become the Federalist candidate
for Governor, and the ensuing election was
contested with an astonishing outbreak
Of partisan excitement. 1t was q deep
grief to Jay that the Livingstons opposed
him, for the Chancellor and Edward were
his wife's cousins, and Brockholst. her
brother, had been jays private secretary
in Madrid. There seems to be no doubt
that at tine ballot box the people gave
Jay q slight majority, but In the official
count the State ~oanvassers awarded the
