The First Contested Presidential
Election

The editors of the metropolitan
dailies are singularly ignorant of the
the history of the country, and only
about the delay of deciding the cleo
ton as something unprecedented in
the istory Of the country, and only
approached by the famous -Tilden-
Hayes case and Cleveland Blaine
contset.
They entirely forget the earliest
and most bitterly contested presi-
dental election in our history, that
of Jefferson.
The Presidential campaign of 1900
had been unusually bitter, but had
resulted in the election of the Re-
publican ticket, at the head Of which
were Thomas Jefferson and Aaron
Burr. Under the old law the candi-
date receiving the highest number of
votes was elected President, and the
one receiving the next highest num-
Der ice-President. Both Jefferson
and Burr had an equal number Of
votes. 1t was clearly the will of the
people, however, that Jefferson
should be President and Burr Vice
President.
Burr, was however, as pnserup-
ulous rascal as ever appeared in
American politics, and had effrontery
to the extreme limit. He therefore
set himself up as candidate for
President. Under the Constitution
the election went to the House, with
each State having one vote. There
ensued then nearly three months of
the bitterest partisan struggle known
in all our political history.
The Federalists, who had been
opposed to Jefferson, now supported
him because of ,Burr>s vicious char
acter. Burr's partisans assaulted JEFF
ferson with equal venom for his in
fidelity, his lack of truthfulness,
cowardice and bitter craftsmanship
towards his friends and against his
enemies. On the 36th ballot Jeffer-
son received the votes of 10 States,
which was the largest vote cast for
anyone and was declared elected.
Burr received the votes of four
States, it being the next largest vote,
. and was elected Vice-President.
There were two blank votes.
This contest made the change in
Z the law to it's present form. Burr
had influence enough to secure a
nomination for Governor of New
York. and the bitter contest ensued,
during which time Alexander Hamil-
ton fagellated him without mercy.
This led to the duel in which Burr
killed Hamilton. Burr was disfran-
chised by the State of New York for
fighting a duel and was indicted for
murder in New Jersey. This wreck
ed Burr's political fortunes, and i'm
mediately after retiring from the
Viye-Presidency, March 4, 1905, he
embarked upon his scheme for the
establishment of new Independent
government in the southwest. He
had purchased 400, 900 acres on the
Red River. How much treason
there was in Burr's plans cannot be
definitely stated. Jefferson pur-
sued him with the utmost venom and
endeavored to convict him of trea-
son. He had him arrested and
brought to Richmond for trial for
high treason.
The trial which lasted from March
81 to Sept. z. 1907. developed the
great bitterness throughout the
country, the jury returned a verdict
Of mot proven" Therefore Burr
was, set At liberty. and years after
wards died in poverty.-Tribune.

That may all be but we should not forget that many of those rights defined la that great in- strument as belonging to each and every indi- vidual are often overlooked when another's mo- ton is contradicted The worst part of it lies in the fact that one has no remedy except to retaliate in likes, but that is also impossible in the broad-minded So, what is fellow going to do?

A SURE THING.

Really. it looks very much like sure thing for Roosevelt" said man yesterday when speak ing of the doings at Chicago on the eve of the republican national convention. And it does Seemingly the old ''warhorseS'' have made up their minds to learn 8 new trick It has taken them long time, but they evidently figure that t Is better late than never and they are coming around slowly, but surely. They can do what they please, but Roosevelt has the whip hand. He Is the only man who can pull the derelcts out Of the mud hole into which he dropped them four years ago. If it wasn't for the fact that they must acknowledge Roosevelt's popularity his leadership would not be so objectionable. It is human nature that crops out. We are all vain and hate like sixty to be defeated and forced to follow the cause Of our defeat. This is foolish ness, and they might as we'll acknowledge that they are not the bosses, but that the people are, and since the people want Roosevelt as their lead CT, they might as well be good and stop their '.sulking"

One might think from the severe and unrelentless way we judge others that we are perfect. It is too dis guSting to notice men putting themselves up as examples and dictate to others when, as mat ter Of fact they are mere bunch Of human de fects themselves but are too narrow to see it and they will, by implication at least, deny you the right of your opinion. They will tell you that if you differ with them you are opposed to their best interests: and all such trash.
