Clamor for Popular Vote. | In New York the people were clamor- | ing for the right to choose the electors, | but 17 members of the State Senate | preven(ed the passage of & law Kh‘lnll them that right. Their names were great big posters in glanng | surrounded with big black | bo These were posted in saloons, tacked on trees, hung in store windows | and generally circulated. Only one of the 17 oftered for re-election and the met showed the temver of the people. The Legi lature, after a long wrangle, chose 25 Adams electors, 7 Clay electors and 4 for Crawford. { In North Carolina there was a fusion ticket known as the People's ticket. | Each voter was to write on his ballot | whether he preferred Adams or Jackson, ' and the electors were to be appor- tloned between them in the ratio of their strength, but the agreement was afterward repudiated and Jackson got | the entire vote.

Henry Clay thought better of his implied threat to take the matter to the dueling ground at Bladensburg, and instead asked the House to investigate the matter and ex- pel him if it found the charge true.
