had been for two years in New York a
bitter feud between two factions in the
democratic party. One was called the
hunkers. They We're the national adj
mlnistration element in the state, and
they got their name from their supposed
"hankering" for Office. it being said OF
them that they hungered and thirsted
more after office than after righteousness
The other faction was called the barn
burners. because. it was said, they were
like the Dutch farmer who burned down
his barn in order to rid it of rats Some
OF their enemies claimed that they came
by the title because they actually acted
as more modern might riders have acted
in our recent history.

Champ Clark was this year, stood the
barn burners. Silas Wright. chief lieu
tenant of Van Buren,. had run for Cover
nor of New York in 1874 to save the state
for Polk, and had won. Polk promptly
recognized the hunkers in administration
matters. and in 1916 Wright was defeated
for reelection. defeat which the barn
burners charged in its entirety to the
hunkers.
When the national convention came off
both factions sent contesting delegations
The barn burners We're headed by Samuel
j. Tilden, and the HunkerS by Daniel f.
Sickles, the aged veteran who still lives
and who, after sixty-fOur years. is now in
the political arena as "A bull mooser. The
convention tried to patch up the New
York situation by compromise. 1t de-
cided to seat both delegations. with half
a vote each. But the barn burners
wanted no compromise, they wanted
blood or nothing. The other side felt
the same way about 1t, SO both factions
refused to vote.
The convention nominated Lewis Cass
of Michigan for President and William
o. Butler Of Kentucky for Vice President.
After this, young Sickles made an impas-
stoned speech to the convention. promis-
ing the vote Of the state of New York to
the candidates. but it was a promise he
could not fulfill.
The wings met in Philadelphia early in
June. Gen. Taylor had been a somewhat
uncertain quantity for long time. He
had. after his name had been put for
ward by louisiana, written a letter in
which he said he would not refuse a WING
nomination We're il rendered him, pro-
vided he was left free OF all pledges and
permitted to maintain his independence
of all parties. He added that he would
not withdraw his name from before the
people. however. even II the wings shouu
nominate Clay or some other man over
him. A second letter he wrote stated
that he was "a WING. but not an ultra
whig." Taylor had never cast a vote in
his life, and had hitherto taken precious
little interest in politics

from him was read in which he stated
that his friends would withdraw his
name should the choice of the convention
fall upon some other man. He led from
the first, and was nominated on the
fourth ballot. Thus had the wings
hitched their chariot to another war
hero, and matched "Tippecanoe and

with an undivided democracy even the
hearty attractiveness of Gen. Taylor, the
freshness of his war-won laurels and the
magic memory of Buena Vista could
not have sufficed to sweep the democrats

of the New York Vote. as

ing that he had foretold the vote of
every elector but two in his first bout
with John Adams, declared that his eyes
in the 1900 fight were upon New York
city. He declared that as New York
city went New York state would go. and
as New York state went the Union
would go.
The issue of the campaign was the
Wilmot proviso. This famous question
brought slavery to the fore as a burning
controversy. When the bill appropriat-
ing money for the closing Of negotiations
with Mexico for the acquisition of terri

Gratis had copies Of an amendment which
had been drawn by Representative Brink
erhoff Of Ohio. and which provided that
slavery should not be permitted in any
of the states or territories to be erected
out of the territory thus acquired. 1t fell
to the lot of David WilmOt of Pennsyl-
vania first to gain the Speakers eye and
to get recognition for Offering it. Hence
it's name.
Gen. Cass at first was favorable to the
proviso, but, seeing that it was an issue
that had dynamite in it. afterward de-
cided to trim little. If the northern
wings had had the courage of their con-
victiors that year they would have taken
the northern view Of the slavery ques-
ton and could have elected an anti
slavery President. This would probably
have prevented the formation of the re-
publican party and have perpetuated the
WING party. But In those days the wings
were a northern party led by southern
men, while the democracy had become a
southern party captained by northern
leaders.
For the first time in the history Of the
country the popular elections were all
held on the same day. in accordance with

STATEN ISLANDERS AWAIT
EXPRESS CASE DECISION

Staten Islanders are awaiting the
outcome of the right Of an express
company to charge twenty-five cents
for carrying a trunk from Staten Is
land to the Grand Central station,
Manhattan. in order to claim a trunk
and transport it back to Staten Is
land again. The matter was up be-
fore the Public Service Commission,
first district, last week for a hearing
and decision was reserved. The COM
p~lainant In this case is William B.
Rafferty,, a public school principal Of
the borough OF Richmond, who OBJ
jected to such a charge exacted by
the United States Express Company.
In answering the complaint the com
pany admits that it imposed such a
charge after a trial for some years
of the plan of carrying trunk checks
free. It maintains that the charge is
not only reasonable but is a safe
guard to the company and the own
er OF the baggage.
