voting began Each State had a ballot
box of its own, and when its vote was
cast the ballots were taken out and
counted. If Jefferson had majority,
two little slips with his name on them
were made out, and If Burr had ma
jority his name was placed on them in
stead. If the vote was tie, the word
| Divided" was written on the slips.
Then came the sergeant-at-arms with
two other ballot boxes. One of these
slips was put in each box. each by a
different member of the State delega-
ton. if more than one was present.
Each State then chose a teller to assist
at the Speakers desk, and eight tellerS
counted the slips in each ballot box.
The reports from the two sets of tellers
agreeing, 1t was considered the true
vote of the House. On the first vote
eight States supported Jefferson and
six Burr, Vermont and Maryland being
divided
They balloted 81 times that day and
night. Many members sent home for
nightcaps and pillows, and. wrapped in
shawls and overcoats, lay about the
floors of the committee room or sat
sleeping in their seats. The House at
breakfast time recessed until noon, took
one ballot, recessed until the next day,
and then again recessed after one bal
lot. When the thirty-third ballot was
taken a recess followed until Monday.

The History of Presidential Elections
V-The JeffersOn.Burr Tie in 1900
FREDERIC
Government"
Author OF The American Government"

While lack of system, lack of trans
portation and communication and wide
" scattered and divided opinion made
the electoral system of doubtful success
in 1895, the perfection of political party
machinery almost wrecked the whole
scheme in 1900 Up to this time there
had been so many scattering votes that
some candidate always had majority.
In 1900 the party plan worked so well
that two men, Jefferson and Burr, each
received every Democratic-Republi
vote, and the score was tie.
The FederaliStS we're almost equally
we'll organized. Adams and Pinckney
were one vote apart, there being but a
single scattered vote cast in all the cleo
toral colleges. The States were also or
ganized and had abandoned the district
plan of choosing electors. All but three
States voted their electors en- bloc.
jefferson and Burr had 10 electoral
votes each, Adams had S. Pincllney 81,
John Jay getting one vote from Rhode
Island
The defeat of Adams had been fore
seen, but the FederaliSts did not give up
without a struggle. Gouverneur Norris
had written to Washington an appeal to
run again and save the party. but the
Father of His Country died without an
swering the letter. Hamilton, although
not wholly pleased with Adams, fought
it out to the end in the face of the I'M
popularity which had descended on the
FederaliSt administration.
Intrigues Crop Out.
When the campaign got under way
there wsre all SORTS Of intrigues Ham,
ilton wrote Gov jay of New York, in

S.'iYania there was a Republican As

wisalmingly Republican, while ON con-
current vote it was a tic The Senate
held out and divided the electoral vote
s for jefferson and for Adams. The
10 Federaiist legislators in the Penn
sylvenia Sen.te, who tock the choice of
electors away from the people and
forced the Legislature into given 7
votes to Adams, were hailed as the i'm
mortal 13.

A Maryland member was petitioned
by his constituents to switch to Jeffer-
son and break the deadlock, but he
would not. 1t was not until the thirty
sixth ballot that the FederaliStS gave
way. Jefferson was named President
and Burr became Vice President.
Bayard said afterward that the man
ner of casting the last ballot was ar
ranged only a few minutes before the
vote was taken and that but for the
attitude of Connecticut member not
vote would have been cast in opposi-
ticn to Jefferson. The Federalists had
determined to vote blank. but this Con-
necticut member refused to acquieSce
in the caucus agreement, and that de-
termined the other Federalists, with a
few exceptions, to stand pat on Burr
He asserted also that the means did
exist for electing Burr. by deceiving
one member "a great blockhead) and
tempting two mot incorruptible), he
wrote, Burr might have secured a
majority of two States"
Such an election as the Jefferson
Burr contest can never happen again,
since the twelfth amendment now
makes it impossible for a candidate for
Vice President to oppose the head of
his ticket in a House election.

went for nought, for the returns showed
the downfall of the Federalist party
Dickey Strop informed his friends that
he would have to raise the price of
shaving the FederaliStS, as the election
had made their faces so long.
When the returns showed that JEFF
ferSon and Burr had tied jefferson an
nounced that the House would have
to settle it. The Federalists had a
plan of tying up the election by dead
locking the House until the 4th of
March. That would have placed the
duties of the presidency upon the
shoulders of the President of the Sen
ate. under the succession law of 1897,
and he would have had to call another
election. There was such a general
howl over this program that it was
abandoned.
Shows Patriotism.
Hamilton showed his patriotism by
trying to avert the election of Burr. He
declared that personally he was friendly
with Burr, while if there was any m an
in the world he ought to hate it was
Jefferson. And yet the public good
should outweigh every private feeling
and interest. Speaker Sedgwick. hail
ing from Massachusetts. declared the
electoral system failure, since it has,
at one election. placed at the head of
our Government a Semi-maniac, who
in his soberist senses is the greatest
marplot in nature, and at the next one
feeble and false, but enthusiastic,
theorist and a prohigate without char
acter and without property, bankrupt
in toth"
Hamilton wrote James A. Bayard, the
FederaliSt leader in the House, hailing
from Delaware, appealing to him to
prevent the election of Burr Bayard
replied that he was obliged to yield to
a torrent which could not be opposed,
although it might be diverted That
ne afterward did it the results show.
There were great doingS in Washing
ton when the HOUSE took up the cleo
ton of President. Although the jour-
ney to Washington was tiresome and
expensive, people fastened there by the
hundreds. In one boarding house so
men slept on the floors because no beds
were to be had. After the electoral
count the Senate retired and the House
got down to its serious business. Sum-
ter of South Carolina was sick, and so
was Nicholson of Maryland, but he was
carried to an adjoining committee room

doors closed, and the delegates from
