The Surprise Of 1852.
The avalanche Of 1862 was nc
bic. The Wigs, following their pcli-
cy Of 1910 and lS4S, nominated Il war
hero tor president. Scott, who COM
landed the army III the var against
Mexico. The Democrats selected
Franklin Pierce. Il subordinate of
Scott in the Mexican iIubroglic. And
Pierce, humber warrior than Scott,
though Il general. TOO. defeated Scott
by a staggering majority.
The Republicans We're taken off their
pins in 1soG when they failed to carry
the country. The Republican parts
was only q tWo-year,old youngster
when it put up Fremont. who was dc
1eated by BdhAAlan, the DEMOCRAT.

despair Of the result at any time in til.
campaign Of 1868. apd at first in 1872
the chances seemed. 10 favor Greeley,
the nominee Of the Liberal Republican
party and Of me Democracy.
After 1872 Tie presidential contests
We're always 80 close that the result
was kept in dojbt untfl the votes were
counted. ThA| race : W,s so close in
1876 that the electoral' commission
was called in by both parties to settle
the dispute, and the. margin for the
Republicans ip the electoral college
was only one vote.
In 1854 the outcome was in doubt
for two or three days after the cleo,
ton, this being due to the narrow
margin i'll the decisive state of New
York. Toward the conclusion Of tho
campaign in 1892. in which the win

the electoral college which any party
has had since 1872. some Republicans
los hope, but the majority Of tn.

turns on the night OF the election
showed that Illinois, Wisconsin ant

These are only n few instances Il
show the uncertainty surrounding tn,

:: Contests In States Add to Interest.
About thirty ate have veto elect
governors. and this will be attended to
al the same time the citizens Of the
eommonwealths cast their votes for
president. Things. have u%ranspired in
some of the states to turn ordinary cal
culations topsy turvy, and this fact
has intensified the turmoil in such sec
tons of the country. Add to this the
many desperate contests in, cities over
the %mayoralty. and altogether we have
a good sized scrap.
But to return to the big pictures in
the. political scene. In addition to the
presidency. the fate Of the two branch
es -of congress hangs in the balance.
The terms of thirty-0ne United States
senator's expire. There are 435 mem
berS of the house to he elected. Of
the retiring senators eighteen are Re-
pnblicahs and thirteen Democrats.
The congress- to be elected this fall
will have to deal with the tariff qnes-
ton. a political bugbear since shortly
after the adoption Of the constitution.
Campaign Prophets.
The great American electorate has
sprung so many surprises that we
pause again to-pQehpooh'election proIh-
cts. We pass EN- up! just like that
that is, latter day political proph-
cts. OF course we admit that nobody
was in doubt in 1899 and 1899 that
George Washington would be chosen
president But there was a serious
contcst in 1896. when Washington DE-
clined to accept a third tafit, and then
the political prophet made his debut.
He has worked overtime ever since.
1t Is to be granted. however. that
these necessary adiuncts to the politi-
cal game face greater difficulties than
those Of old. One reason IS the passing
Of the former October elections for
state officers. AS the canvass was CON
Quoted on national lines the result af-
forded a fair idea Of the sentiments Of

struggle. Another handicap is the un-
