 Burr took his defeat in good grace.
 Supporters of Jefferson were wild with joy. The New York Daily Ad- vertiser says on February IS.
 After the Presidential election last evening band of Republicans tJeffersons party), consisting of the most worthless wretches assem- bled in Washington, marched from one end of the city to the other and attempted to compel the citi- zens to illuminate their homes. When one Burr adherent refused, the mob left him imprecating ven geance."
 The election of 1925 in the House, while not so dramatic nevertheless abounded with color.
 In the campaign of 1924 none of the three candidates received a ma- jority of electoral votes. Andrew Jackson captured 99, John Quincy Adams 84, and William H. Craw- ford Al.

 There was clapping of hands and audible misses in the galleries, D reports the New York National Ad- vocatc. The galleries were ordered cleared-a deep disappointment to the more than a thousand persons who had, many of them, waited from early morning to witness the spectacle.
 Jackson, however made no public show of his disappointment.
 In 1886, Richard M. Johnson of Kentucky, failed to receive ma- jority of electoral votes over three other candidates for the Vice Pres idency and was forced to fight it out in the Senate with Francis Granger of New York, the runner up.
 On the first ballot Johnson re- ceived 33 votes to Changers 16 and served as Vice President under Mar tin Van Buren.
