Had not Hamilton been the unyielding foe of Aaron Burr, the latter, and not Jefferson, would have succeeded the elder Adams; but even more momentous In its consequences was the long battle between Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay, When Jackson first ran for the presidency. In 1824, the candidates opposing him were Adams, Alex-ande- r aisa evils, announced that he had decided to support Adams. But Clay's determination no sooner became known than some of Jackson's friends attempted to drive him from It The weapon used for this purpose recalls one of the most discreditable Incidents In our political history. A few days before the time set for the election In the House a letter appeared In a Philadelphia newspaper, asserting that Clay had agreed to support Adams upon cordltlon that be be made Secretary of State. The same terms, the letter alleged, had been of fered to Jackson's friends; but none ef them would descend to such mean The letter was barter and sale." anonymous, but purported to be written by a member of the House. Clay at once published a card. In which he pronounced the writer "a dastard and a liar," who. If he dared avow his name, would forthwith be called to (he field. Two days later tbe letter was acknowledged by a witless member from Pennsylvania, Kremer by name, who asserted that the statements he had made were true, and that he was ready to prove them. A duel with such a character was out ef the question. Something, however, had to be done, and Clay immediately demanded an investigation by a special committee of the House. Such a None committee was duly selected. of its members had supported Clay for the presidency. Kremer promptly declared his willingness to meet tho Inquiry, but in tbe end the committee reported that he had declined to appear before it, sending instead a communication in which he denied the power of the House to compel him to testify. No further action was taken, and in this shape, for the time being, the matter rested. Soon, however, came the election of Adams by the House, followed quickly by bis appointment of Clay as hla Secretary of State. Though It la now generally acknowledged that there has been no bargain between Adams and Clay, It was natural that, at the asomont, the rank and file of Jack eona following should regard Clay's appointment as conclusive proof that such a deal had been made. By accepting It Clay made himself the victim of circumstantial evidence. As comfort, iy jpsresffiiall Htlcal annals. Everything that rancorous partisan Intention could concoct was spread broadcast by the Jackson Journals; nor were Clay and Adams the sole objects of the storm of slander. Charges of the most Infamous character were made against Jackson, and Inflamed bis animosity against Adams and Clay to a degree that approached Insanity. Jackson believed Clay capable of anything of which tbe latter could be accused, and be himself gave currency to the "bargain and corruption' cry, which was printed, placarded and harped upon throughout the land. Clay, on the other hand, was unable on the stump to assume the line of dignified refutation; and his language, losing all restraint, became the vehicle of raving wrath. The result of tbe contest was a signal tri- - Aaron Burr Crawford and Clay. None of the four secured a majority of the electoral oollege, and the election thus devolved upon the House, with choice to be made from the three candidates Adams, Crawford and Jackson who had received the most electoral votes. This debarred Clay, who, forced, as he expressed It, to choose betwen two a3(1 io your ery- res Alexander Hamilton. umph for Jackson. Even Kentucky, Clays own state, went against him, and Adams retired In the shadow of Four years later, deep humiliation. when Clay himself was a candidate against Jackson, he received but forty-nin- e out of 286 electoral votes. In 1880 tbe unrelenting animosity of Henry B. Payne alone prevented Allen O. Thurman from being made tbe nominee of the democratic national In 1S57 Payne was a convention. candidate for tbe democratic nomination for governor of Ohio. The convention met In Columbus, and Thurman, then fresh from a period of brilliant service on the supreme bench of his state, had a friend In whose candl- - kidney, cess and the victory of the democratic party. I do not want any of your wine, I told that air," was the reply. damned waiter to say as much to you, sir, a moment ago." And so saying, Thurman turned his back abruptly on tbe man from Cleveland. Payne never forgot nor forgave this public Insult. Tbe quarrel thus begun ever after kept tbe two men apart, and three and twenty years later thwarted Thurmans highest ambition. In 1880 he waa a candidate lor the presidential nomination before the democratic national convention. Had he had the unflinching support of the Ohio delegation, there is little doubt that be would have been the nominee. Tbs delegation was solid for him on the first ballot. Then It broke and the chances of his nomination vanished into thin air. Payne was behind the break. The delegates from the district In which bis influence was supreme led It and were strongest In the claim which stampeded the convention to a dark horse. A3 Ohio was then an October state and practically certain to go for Garfield, the result would be disastrous to the democratic cause. That argument defeated Thurman and nominated Hancock, and the revenge of Payne was complete. But the most dramatic of all the political feuds of the last forty years, both in Its inception and Its sequel, was that between Blaine and Itoscoe Conkllng. The two men entered the popular branch of Congress at about the same time, and both soon became There waa, leaders in that body. however, little in common between abll them save tbe gift of ity. Conkllng made Blaine tbe object of his sarcasm whenever opportunity offered, and tbe member from Maine was prompt to retort In kind. Thus the enmity grew until, in the course of one of their many encoun ters, Blaine, stung to the quick by an unjust and ungenerous taunt, burst forth in an onslaught on bis tormentor which wrought the House Into a high pitch of excitement and marked the beginning of a fierce struggle In the Republican party that ended In tbe humiliation of Conkllng and tbe defeat of Blaine for President Here are Blaines words, and they are a model of excoriation: As to the gentlemans cruel sarcasm, I hope he will not be too severe.
