Horace Greeley was the most notable exception to the rule that those talked of for the nomination leaned toward free trade. There were candidates aplenty. Illinois alone had three—Judge David Davis, Lincoln’s campaign manager; Gov. John M: Palmer and Senator Lyman Trumbull. Ohio suggested ex-Secretary Jacob D.

Schuyler | Colfax was a candidate for re-election, but he had had a break with some of the members of the corps of Washing- ton correspondents, and they brought out Henry Wilson, the “Natick cob- bler,” and he defeated Colfax by a close margin. This is the only time that a presiden- | tial ticket was made up of men who had changed their names. Grant was christened Hiram Ulysses Grant, and he used that name until he entered West Point. There they put his name down as Ulysses S. Grant, and he | made the stand for Simpson, and ever after signed his name in that way. Wilson’s real name was Jeremiah Col- bath.

Everything pointed to a liberal Re- | publican-Democratic triumph. Greeley had thundered against carpetbagism us he had thundered against slavery be- fore, and it was not until the bitter things he had said about the Demo- |crats were recalled by the Republican | orators that the tide began to turn. | Then a shiver of fear and distrust swept across the country. Would Gree- ley, who w unable to keep his own newspaper, be able to give the country a business administration? Would he, who the victim of every confidence |man who came his way. be able to | select proper advisers? What was his financial policy? These questions, com- bined with his attacks on Wall street, had their effect against him.

His death opened a new problem. How should the electors who had been for him vote? Gratz Brown got only 18 votes as his logical successor. Thomas A. Hendricks got 42, while Charles J. Jenkins got 2 and David Davis 1. For the vice presidency, Brown got 47 votes, while the other 19 were divided among seven other men. Tgnorance of Senate. When the electoral count took place | there were duplicate returns from Louisiana, while three electors from Georgia voted for Greeley. The Senate and House failed to agree upon the disposition of both sets of votes in Louisiana, and so the State lost its right to participate in the election. The Grecley votes were also thrown out. The same fate met the vote of Arkansas. There was a rule that there could be no debate on the question, so when it was found in the Senate tha Fashion Shop T Less than a the returns did not bear the seal of the State they were rejected. The Senate did not know that Arkansas had no seal and disfranchised the State be- cause of its ignorance. ‘Tomorrow: The Hayes-Tilden Fight. Elizabeth Popular for Girls.
