— D. €. FRIDAY. OCTOBER 19, 1928, THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON, The History of Pre sidential Elections XIX—The Populist Movement in 1892. BY FREDERIC J. HASKIN, Author of The election of 1892, holds the dis-| tinction of being the first one after 1860, where more than two candidates receiv- ed votes for President in the electoral colleges. There was a President running for re-election, opposed by an ex-Presi- dent. Harrison had been elected over Cleve- d four years before by New Yor nging from the Democratic to the Reoublican column. Cleveland had 100,- 000 more popular_votes in the country than Harrison. Some 2,000 votes had turned the tide to Harrison in Indiana, s and there were close returns in other States. The Republicans promptly ad- mitted six new States in the hope of giving themselves 12 new Republican Senators and 20 additional votes in the electoral college. Then they did what was in those days recognized as legiti- mate politics—unseated enough of th opposition In the House to afford a comfortable working majority After that the House passed the noted Porce bill. which had for its purpose the Federal control of elections in the South, under the plea of assuring the nezro the privilege of the suffrage. The Senate killed it by talking it to a standstill and holding it there until they could win over enough Republican votes to prevent its passage. Senator Danuel | of Virginia, had won over Senator Stan- ford of California, at 3 o'clock in the | morning, and hobbled into the Senate chamber on his crutches to tell Senator | Vest, he might as well stop talking Vest_finished his speech, however, and the Force bill was dead. | Pass McKinley Tariff Law. | Then the Republicans passed the Mc- Kinley tariff law of 1890, and the| Democrats persuaded the country that | it increased the cost of living without | a commensurate increase in wages.| Articles that had retailed for a quarter were marked up to thirty-nine and there were other increases of 1 proportions on_hundreds of different | articles. The Republicans accused the | importing department stores with being in league with the Democrats to break down the tariff. Beyond the handicap of its legislative | record. the Republican party was ham- | pered by the personality of the Presi- dent. A man of high purpose and political integrity, Mr. Harrison had one of those cold, repelling personalities which antagonized even his friends. So | amiable a Senator as Shelby M. Cullom | declared that he was glad to see Cleve- land back in the White House becausc | of the difference in the atmospherc which greeted visitors. | Senator Hoar declared that if Harrison were talking to 10,000 men in a crowd | he would make friends of all of them, | but that if he were to see each one| individually he would anger them all. | Senator Lodge declared that Harrison never was able to grant a requast from a Senator without assuming the atti- | {ude that he was conferring a great avor. Bickerings in High Places. Harrison had Blaine as his Secretary of State, and the latter complained bl terly of the treatment he received ot the hands of his chief. On the othe: hend, Harrison complained of Blain treatment, He said that for a year h- had, with his own hands, prepared the documents of the Department that should have been prepared by Blaine. Cullom said it was a case of Harrison's being jealous of his lieutenant and Bleine disloyal to his chief. | Before the Republican National Con- vention Blaine wrote & letter saying that he was not a candidate. However, three days before the convention he | resigned from Harrison's cabinet and his caused many people to believe that he was ready to accept the nomination. Many people think if Blaine had been | an active candidate from the beginning he would have been nominated. Har- rison, in spite of the fact that he had affronted nearly every leader of his partv. was renominated without diff- culty. 1 Opposed_ in Own Party. Cleveland had some opposition from the Democratic party. Many Democrats blamed him for the defeat of 1888, as- serting that his famous one-subject tariff message had been the causs of the trouble. Others were opposed to | him because of his espousal of sound | money and opposition to free silver. In! spite of this opposition he was nomi- nated. | ‘The Populists, or the People’s party, | 1]5 it was called, nominated Gen. James | . Weaver. In the West it entered into | fusion with the Democrats in many | States, while in the South it combined with the Republicans. In five States the - Democrats nominated no electors, | simply dndorsing the People’s party nominees. Weaver might get enough votes to throw the election into the ‘House, and had New York, Indiana and Michigan remained in the Republican Glasses Fitted Eves Examined DR. CLAUDE S.

The Democrats were not Worry- ing about that prospect, since the land- slide of 1890 had made the House Dem- ocratic. | Tariff an Issue. ! The Republican difficulties increased rapidly. The wage earners in the Home- stead steel mills, who were ‘claimed as the beneficiarics of the McKinley tariff | on iron and steel products, were 5o d ied with their relations with Car | , Frick and other owners of the mills that they voted a strike. The mill | owners hired a force of Pinkerton detec- tives and a pitched battle was fought. | The trouble went on, and constituted | the answer of every Democratic orator to the claim of the Republican spell- binders that the tarifl brought pros- | perity to the workingman. The election was a hard-fought one, | but when the returns came in_th showed a popular plurality for Cleve. land of nearly 400,000. Only two Presi- | dents in the history of the country have | zone before the people three times and | ach time received more votes than any | competitor. Cleveland carried the coun- ry on a popular vote in 1884, 1838 and | 1892, increasing his lead each time. An- drew Jackson got the popular verdict in 1824, 1828 and 1832. G. 0. P. Leaders on Fence. A few long-headed political leaders, | like Matthew Quay, foresaw the defeat | of Harrison. He had incurred their | enmity and set them on the fence, | where they could view the outcome with indifference. Quay, by his masterful handling of the campaign, had undoubt- | edly elected Harrison the first time, but at the first visit he made to the White | House Harrison gave him to understand that it was Providence and not Q\Iayi who had given him his job, and he felt | ANOTHER UNSO- LICITED” TRIBUTE FOR ALL-BRAN Good news for sufferers from constipation Mrs. Kiell sat down and wrote us a letter when she had proved ALL-BRAN a safe “sure-cure” for constipation. Read her voluntary ! tribute: April 4, 1927 “I have been using Kellogg's ALL-BRAN for quite some time and I want to tell you how much I appreciate it. I have found it | @ sure-cure for constipation, and know it is a remarkable regulator for the stomach. After using it, my family and I certainly will not be without it. I have even gone €0 far as to send some of it to my mother in Poland, Europe.” Gratefully yours; Mas. ANNA Kmrt, 77 Wolcott Terrace, Newar, N. J.
