Hero and Hoodoo

MT 6ryan, In fencing with persons who
would draw him out on next years pl ans
tells them that no man has been defeated
IN MS third race for the presidency His
reference is to Gen. Jackson and Mr.
Cleveland. But he omits details and de-
tails are interesting and informing.
Gen. Jackson's second race grew M.
Of the circumstances of his defeat in tt.
first. The charge that Mr.. Adams had
won through corrupt combination with
Mr.. Clay. though vigorously denounced by
both of those men. largely Influenced the
situation four years later when Gen. Jack
son ran again. and was successful. Had
Mr. T1iden been physically strong in 1890
his party would probably have renomi-
mated MIN on the charges growing out of
the campaign of 1876. But by that time
he was quite feeble, and in no condition to
lead. Gen. Jackson's third race followed
naturally the great success Of his first
term In office. By that time he was ire
.sistible before the voters.
Mr.. Cleveland's second race grew out
of the success of his first. He was not
popular. with his party, but his renomina-
ton was a matter of necessity. Had bis
party turned him down 1t would have
surrendered its case then and there As
to his third race, division of opinion
will always exist as to the. influences that
brought Mr.. Cleveland to the front again
In 1892. His friends insist that the party,
without any beating of the bushes in
stinctively turned. to him, and that ne
emerged. little reluctantly but pa
triotically, from his retirement. But
those who know William c. Whitney, and
remember now his political methods and
how he pulled" for the ex-President
for a full year before the third nominal
ton. are well convinced that public sem
timent had been Quigged, that is to say
accelerated. in Mr.. Cleysland's behalf.
Now, as is plain enough, there is no like
ness in either of these cases to Mr..
Bryan's case. Had Cen Jackson been
elected the first time he would not have
stood for the Office the third time, and
had Mr.. Cleveland failed the first time
had those five thousand votes cast for
Gen. Butler in New York not been count
ed for the democratic candidate, thereby
giving him the election-he would have
disappeared from the political horizon.
Mr.. Blaine would have been so strong at
the end of four years in Office that the
democracy would not have thought of an
other nomination for the Buffalo man.
Mr.. Bryan has twice been defeated. His
only strength today is the evidence of
his party's weakness. He Is the. only
pebble on the beach. Or. put in another
form. his party is reduced to that condi7
ton where ii can win neither with him
nor without him.. He is at once Its hero
and its hOodoo. -" -.',-

Jackson and Roosevelt.

Standing at the grave of Jackson yes
terday President Roosevelt said:
II should not say that Old Hickory was
faultleSS, but Andrew Jackson was as up
right a patriot as honest an American. as
faultleSS a gentleman ever any nation
had. His memory will remain forever a
precious national heritage. and his public
career should be studied and assimilat ID
by every public man who desires to be IN
good faith the servant OF the whole peo-
pie of the United States"
One can easily understand how the
character and career of Andrew Jackson
should appeal to Theodore Roosevelt.
The one possessed resolution in con-
spicuous degree as does the other. The
one was impatient OF restraint, as Is the
other. The one as President found means
of doing things and did them. even when
some Of his nearest friends and advisers
pointed the other way. The other has a
record of the same kind. The most
eminent lawyers of his day thought Jack
son a little hazy as to the Constitution,
and dispos d to stretch and dsfigure it..
Likewise Roosevelt today. And so on.
We see thus how near together two men
may be though born and reared under
radically different conditions. Jackson,
came from very near the ground. His
was the triumph of natural strength seek,
ing opportunity. He fought his way up
ward He got nothing without a tus sic,
His whole life was strenuous and ag
gressive. 1t had to be. Those days as
compared with these were rough. Sports
were coarse. and as Jackson was full OF
sporting blood. and INDUCED 1t. he was
while in sporting fettle, coarse himself.
10 NO ri ar ha fra nd
at the card table. But on high occasions
he was all chivalry.
Roosevelt was born at the top. in a
mansion. and with silver spoon in his
mouth. He had to fight to keep from
going downward. All the temptations OF
ease and wealth surrounded him. His
has been the triumph of natural strength
resisting temptation. He put the drawing
room. the clubs easy chair. the polo fed
and other enticements behind him. and
roughened and developed himself in the
west. where life at that time was free
and stirring. Jackson. coming from the
bottom. made himself at home in the most
finished company. Roosevelt. from the
top. makes himself. without affectation. at
home in the plainest company.
THE republic is opportunity and IT
produces all sorts and conditions of men.
The Jacksons and the Rooseyelts alike
make their way. and often are at the
head of the procession. They are not
strictly men of chart and compass. Some
thing of the lawbreaker is in the blood
of every strong man who takes the lead
and news nav path. Jackson as sol
der in Florida was law unto himself
as later in the White House as states
man he was accused of being. But he
was d great man. from the American
point of view. and Mr.. Roosevelt's praise
will be widely echoed.
