Tt was an ignoble period in our politics when both parties were dodging the frre- pressible issue of slavery, and the smaller the candfdate for president the better chance he had to dodge the question. Thus Harrison, the county court ¢lerk, outran Henry Clay in the Whig ‘convention and outran Webster at the polls in 1836 when he himself was an unsuceessful against Van Buren Again, in 1840, the Whigs preferred him to Clay and made him the gro- tesque figurehead in a hippodroming campaign- such as the country never had seen before ana happily never since has seen. As prodf of the im- partiality of the Whig convention, it nominated John Tyler, a democrat, for vice president, on the ticket with Harrison, and adopted no platform of party principles. Nevertheless, Manie went, hell bent, for Governor Kent in - the September election. Thence- forth, till November, a-log cabin on wheels, with its coonskins and its barrel of hard cider, rolled noisily on to an easy but empty victory in the nation & For Tippecanoe and Tyler, too. Elected without a party policy for his guidance, the president was ex- pected by Clay and Webster to accept them as his. guides. He invited both of these towering giants into his cab- inet, but orly Webster accepted, tak- ing the secretaryship of state. To him was submitted the inaugural ad- dress - for revision. After wading through its flowery rhetoric with a pruning knife, the great man was ex- hausted by his editorial labors and his anxious landlady was moved to im- quire why he should look so wearied. “Madam,” was the reply, “within 12 hours I have killed 17 Roman procon- suls—dead as smelts, every one of them.” That was the first inaagural, by the by, to be borne to the country by a swifter messenger than the horse. The railroad sped it so fast that Philadel- phia papers astonished their readers by publishing it on the very day of its delivery. In the teeth of a piercing northwest 'wind, the 6ld farmer . president-elect, bareheaded and disdaining the protee- tion of an overcoat, rode horseback to the capitol. After addressing a great crowd that shivered in its shawls and furs, he insisted, though half frozen, on Temounting his horse and leading the ‘inaugural parade to the White House.

By questioning and belittling his military victories, his critics succeeded only in magnify- ing them. By sheering at him as a man more fitted to adorn a log cabin than the White House, they gave him a popular symbol fof- his candidacy and made him the representative of the primitive west. . "The first pepular resentment for the slights placed upon this frontier gen- eral after the war of 1812 resuited in his election to congress from Ohio, which state afterward sent him to the senate. ‘But he cut a smaill figure in either house, Although President’John Quiney Adams made a wry face at him as "a political adventurer” of “shaliow mind,” whose “thirst for lucrative of- fice is mbsolutely rabid” he appointed him minister to Colombia, but the in- Thereupon his “total absence became embarrassingly conspicuous. The one clear mandate of the ab- surd election of 1840 was to turn out the democrats and Eive the jobs to the Whigs. Straightaway a hungry horde fell upon Harrison and literally devoured him. In a month to a day he was' dead of pneumonia, the first president to die in office throughout the more than 50 years of its existence. This briefest of administrations is a pathetic little ‘story of a simple, lone- ly old man, lured from his farm to be the sport of politics. Ailing in body and harried in mind, he was without the care and companionship of his good wife, Anna Symmes Harrison, dnughter of a New Jersey colonel in the Revolution, who became one of the ploneer soldiers of Ohio. Broken by the hard toil of a frontier house- hold and sorrowing for the loss of eight of her ten children, this wife of her profession (it isn't forced on her), and if she does not like the salary she is at liberty to change amd_ go elsewhere or do something eclse.
