The Democratic party which stood for the of the Oregon country and the reannexation of Texas," went back into power with the election of James K. Polk of Tennessee, and by the time Polk had taken the oath of office the whole country was repeating the slogan, "Fifty-fou- r Forty or Fight!" as the basis of our claims in the Oregon country. In the war with Mexico one of our victorious generals was Zachary Taylor and from an incident in the battle of Buena Vista there came a slogan which helped elect Taylor President in 1848. It was the famous "A little more grape, Captain Bragg" which struck the popular fancy. As a matter of fact what Taylor really said cn that occasion was the laconic "Give 'em hell." But that didn't matter especially. The main thing was that the combination of the "grape" slogan and his nickname of "Old Rough and Ready" had much the same appeal as the Harrison combination In Next to a good slogan a picturesque nickname apparently is a powerful factor in a Presidential election, as witness "Old Hickory" Jackson, "Old Tippecanoe" Harrison and "Old Rough and Ready" Taylor. Lincoln's military record was not one which had any special appeal but the pioneer symbolism of the r Candidate" and "Honest Abo." no doubt had something to do with his election. After the Civil war the nation honored another military hero when It elected "Unconditional Surrender" Grant and the Spanish American war produced the "Rough Rider' candidate In the election of 1004 when "Teddy" became President. The Presidential of aspirations James G. Blaine were favored by the "Plumed Knight" and the "Rupert ,;t Debate," nicknames as well as the tuneful "Blaine of Maine." These, however, were more than offset by "Nosey Blaine," "The Tattooed Man," and "Jim the Penman" (alluding to the famous Mulligan Letters) appellations. But the fatal thrust to his chances was applied when Rev. R. B. d declared In a speech for Blaine that all conscientious Americans should vote the Republican ticket because the Democrats stood for "Rum, Romanism and Rebellion." Blaine did not hear him distinctly enough to repudiate this slur upon the religious belief of millions of Americans nnd the slogan which the Republicans had thus attempted to tack on to tie! opponents proved to be a boomers' and undoubtedly had something to with Elaine's defeat by Cleveland.
