20 to Jackson. Moreover to the bit
ter end, Van Buren, was in the ring
for Crawford. AS the day Of elect
ion neared there were fears of RIOTS
threats of bloodshed, even talk OF
revolution. No one knew what was
in the mind of Clay. Washington
had a population Of 10000 people.
Every hotel and boarding house in
the city was bullying with people.
The custom was to nominate can
didates for election through caucus.
The election was then decided by
roll call of the House OF Represen.
tatives. Each state delegation was
instructed by its constituents to vote
for the man selected by a majority
of the people of that district. Thus
the House of Representatives took
on the appearance Of a prebent-day
political convention ,and the man &C.
lected by the majority became
President.
As there was only one party when
these five candidates ran, nomdna-
ton was the equivalent to election.
But the meagerly attended caucus
nomination of Crawford upset the
political apple cart and threw the
election into the House with every
man having free hand and an I'M
certain vote.
The hour of the roll call came.
Clay, commanding, pale, mounted
the Speakers rostrum. Maine, New
Hampshire, Vermont, Rhode Island
and Connecticut stood solidly for
Adams Massachusetts, provided one
bolter who voted for Jackson. The
New Englander won Illinois by one
vote. South Carolina, Alabama,
Mississippi, Tennessee and Indiana,
went solidly to Jackson. Delaware
and Georgia stood Like rock for
Crawford. Of course, the big strug-
gle was for New York. Van Buren,
was for Crawford, but the decision
of Clay prevented his winning the
State. The vote stood Adams IL,
Crawford IA, Jackson q. The State
went to Adams. Gays western
supporters then went to Adams who
took Missouri, Ohio and Kentucky.
This swing gave Adams Is States,
Jackson seven and Crawford four.
The contest was decided by the west.
When the result was announced the
halls rang with Kisses coupled with
the applause Of the Adams support
ers. The uproar in the galleries
threatened to end in a riot. But
in the midst of the uproar, Clay,
majestic and calm, raised the gavel,
and let it fall with one bang. Clear

When Henry Clay stepped from
his carriage to interview the stricken
candidate for The Presidency, Craw-
ford. the contest had reached that
pass where he came to look upon the
Georgian with considerable favor.
CLAW unuuestionably held the balance
of power. He liked Crawford per-
sonally. They had spent many a
ioyial time over hot toddy and stacks
of poker chips. Peculiarly 1t was a
poker game that caused the bitter
mes. between Adams and Clay. On
one occasion Clay was holding a
poker party in hotel. Adams occu
pied the adjoining room. Tine Clay
party grew. boisterous and Kept
Adams awake until the small hours
of the morning, for which Clay was
then and afterwards denounced py
Adams as good for nothing
roustabout.
CLAW remained with Crawford an
hour. At the end of that time he was
ouite convinced that he was too III,
too shattered to warrant support Tor
the Presidency. Had not Clay seen
the conditin of Crawford the latter
probably would have become Presl
dent of the United States, physically
wretched and mentally weakened as
he was.
With Crawford eliminated-for he
was to all intents and purposes
eliminated after the Clay interview,
the Jackson men had high hopes,
believing Clay would not dare en-
dorse an Eastern man. The jackson
men. however, suspected a strong
dislike of Jackson by Clay and the
practical politicians jumped into the
fray with more than conscience. Mass
meetings were called and resolutions
quietly passed demanding the cleo
ton of Jackson. Then came resolu-
tions denouncing Clay for his report
ed support of Adams. Pamphlets
letters, protests poured into Wash
ington like rain. Clay, shrewd
politician, however, saw through this
backfire warfare and ignored it.
Then the-Gackson men resorted to
the methods of the blackmailer and
the intimidator. The first thing they
did was to send out a report that
Clay had made deal with Adams,
selling his strength in return for
promise of the office of Secretary or
State. Clay denounced the author
of the story as bastard and liar"
but the story would not down. He
demanded a congressional investiga-
ton, but the injury could not be
overcome. The lie travelled on
wings, while the truth crawled after
it like a snail.
This situation revived the hopes
of the followers of Crawford. They

NEW ORLEANS. September Is-
Jobbers here report business in all
lines much quieter than it has been
for six weeks. This is especially
true OF dry goods. All attribute this
slump to the drop of $40 bale in
the price of cotton. Prices paid in
the interior for middling average
around 20 cents which is cents less
than it costs to produce last year
and probably -. cents less than it
cost to make this year.
Many complaints come from coun-
try merchants over the Government

drop in cotton to too frequent esti-
mates and assert that the Govern
ment's forecasts of yield are much
inflated Farmers are holding their
cotton and merchants are restricting
