He is an energetic worker and the recent successful entertainment at Metropolitan Temple was inaugurated and carried through solely by him. Starter Donaldeon is also a veteran of the club and in past years was an athlete of no During the (‘ampal?n the Democrats were united and hopeful, while the Whigs were divided and despondent. In the na- tional Whig convention there was lack of unity as to the platform; a considerable minority voted against the clause express- ing approval of the fugitive slave law. | The platform, however, was in this re- spect made acceptable to the Southern members. These gave almost their entire support to Millard Fillmore as the candi- date for the Presidency, while Winfleld Scott received the votes of all who were opposed to committing the Whig party to the sanction of the fugitive slave law. Daniel Webster was the favorite of | twenty-nine delegates, mostly from New | England. In the final resuit the South got the platform and the North got the candidate. Scott was a Virginian by birth, and was nominated on account of his military career. Several of the leading ‘Whigs in the South openly repudiated the | candidate on the ground of his alleged free-=oil tendenci On the part of the Whigs it was a liféless campaign, and in the outcome only four States—Vermont, Massachusetts, Kentucky and Tennessee— chose Whig electors. This proved to be | the last important Whig campalgn. The End of an Era. flassing of the Whig party coincided e passing of great statesmen and former leaders. 'While the Whig conven- | tion was in ion in Baltimore. in June 1852, Henry Clay was dying in Washington, No one had in all respects so thoroughly | ersonated and represented the party as | e *Fwice its standard-bearer; always in the minds of the people: a candidate for the Presidency, he had a personal follow- ing such as few men have enjoyed. Daniel Webster also hoped, and indeed expected, | to be made the candidate of the party. He had been voted for for President, but he had never received the regular nomi- nation of his party. Twice, it is alleged, he might have had the nomination for the | Vice Presidency, and in each case. had he | actepted, he would have become President | through i vacancy in that office caused by | death. Webster died in the midst of the | campaign. It Is one of the remarkable coincidences of history that so large a number of statesmen who, as young men, | had begun to exercise a guidance in na- | tional politics in the early decades of the century shouid all at once leave the bur- den of statesmanship to a younger genera- | tion. _ Besider, Clay and Webster, there was John Quincy Adams. who died at his | post ‘two years earlier. John C. Calhoun died a little later than Adams: Thomas H. Benton left the Senate, never to return; old hands gave place to new ones under new and greatly changed conditions.
