PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.
XXIII?The Third Party Movement.
By Frederic J. Haskin.
?
The election of 1892 holds the distinc
tion of being the only one since 18<f>
where more than two candidates received
votes for President in the electoral col
leges. and practically everybody concedes
that the forthcoming election will be like
the Cleveland-Harrison-Weaver race in
that respect. The present oampaign bears
another striking resemblance to that of
lft>2. There was a President running for
re-election, opposed by an ex-President.
The third candidate in that race dif
fered from Mr. Wilson in that he had
previously run for President on a minor
ticket.
Harrison had been clected over Cleve
land four years before by New York's
swinging from the democratic to the re
publican column :n the face of the fact
that Cleveland had a hundred thousand
more popular votes in the country than
Harrison. Some two thousand votes had
turned the tide to Harrison in Indiana
and there were close returns in other
states. The closeness of the vote in
many states and the popular majority for
Cleveland, admonished the republicans
that if they would hold the presidency in
lKfcJ they would have to adopt some ex
traordinary measures. They started out
by -creating six new states in the hope
of giving themselves twelve new repub
lican senators and twenty additional
votes in the electoral colleges.
In order to carry forward their ideas
they did what was in those days recog
nized on all sides as legitimate politics?
unseated enough of the opposition in the
House to afford a comfortable working
majority. After that the House passed
the noted force bill, which had for its
purpose the federal control of elections
in the south, under the plea of assuring
the negro the privileges of the suffrage.
But the Senate killed it by talking it to
a standstill and holding it tuere until
they could win over enough republican
votes to prevent its passage. Senator
Daniel of Virginia had won over Senator
Stanford of California, at 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.
?
* *
Then the republicans added to their
record the McKinley tariff law of 1890,
and the demo
People Did Not Like c r a t s per
the McKinley Tariff. Zt
their prophecy had come true?that it in
creased the cost of living without a com
mensurate increase in wages. In depart
ment stores articles that had retailed for
a quarter were marked up to .'<!> cents,
and there were other increases of like
proportions on hundreds of different arti
cles. The republicans accused the im
porting department stores with being in
league with the democrats to break down
the tariff. But on whichever side the
truth may have reposed the fact remain
ed that the people did not like the Mc
Kinley tariff.
But beyond the handicap of its legisla
tive record the republican party was
hampered by the personality of the Presi
dent. A man of high purpose and po
litical integrity, Mr. Harrison was one of
those cold, repelling personalities, who
antagonized even'his friends. So amiable
a senator as Shelby M. Cullom declares
that lie was glad to see Cleveland back
in the White House, because of the dif
ference in the atmosphere which greeted
visitors. And to hear the democrats tell
about it, Mr. Cleveland himself could
sometimes make its historic rooms as
chilly as an Alaskan snowbank.
Few* of Harrison's party associates
liked him. The late Senator Hoar de
clared that if Harrison were talking to
10.4 MM) m^n in a crowd he would make
friends of all of them, hut that if he wer?
to see each one individually he would
anger them all. Senator L<odge declared
that Harrison never was able to grant
a request from a senator without assum
ing the attitude that he was conferring a
great favor.
Harrison had Blaine as his Secretary
of State, and the latter complained bit
terly of the treatment he received at the
hands of his chief. He told Senator Cul
lom that Harrison ignored him and his
family, and had studiously neglected to
treat him as one man ought to treat
another. On the other hand, Harrison
complained of Blaine's treatment. He
said that just prior to the opening of the
campaign he had acted as Secretary of
state for a year and had. with his own
hands, prepared the documents of the
department that should have been pre
pared by B'aine. He . said he did not
mind carrying a soldier's knapsack when
the soldier was tired and foot-sore, but
that he did think some evidence of ap
preciation should be shown for the serv
ice. He added that he had kept the
originals of the State Department docu
ments he had written, and that he in
tended to show some day just how Blaine
had treated him. But he died without
doing so. Cullom says it was a case of
Harrison being jealous of his lieutenant
and Blaine disloyal to his chief.
* *
Before the republican national conven
tion Blaine wrote a letter saying that
v he was not

Just Before Cfcme ; ?haet cno?
nation. However, three days before the
convention he resigned frofn Harrison's
cabinet, and this caused many people to
believe that he was ready to accept the
nomination. Others say Blain's purpose
of retiring to private life was sincere.
Many people think if Blaine had been an
active candidate from the beginning he
would have been nominated for the third
battle with Grover Cleveland. But Har
rison, in spite of the fact that he had
affronted nearly every leader of his party,
was renominated without difficulty.
Cleveland had some opposition from
the democratic party. Many democrats
blamed him for the defeat of 18*8, assert
ing that his famous one-subject tariff
message had been the cause of the trou
ble. Others were opposed to him because
of his espousal of sound money and op
position to free silver. But in spite of
the opposition he was nominated.
The third party, or the "people's party"
as it was called, nominated Gen. James
B. Weaver as its standard bearer. In
the west it entered into a fusion with
the democrats in many states, while in
the south it combined with the repub
licans. In five states the democrats
nominated no electors, simply indorsing
the people's party nominees. It was gen
erally conceded that Weaver might get
enough votes to throw the election into
the House, and had Xew York, Indiana
and Michigan remained in the republi
can column euch would have been the
case. But the democrats were not wor
rying about that prospect, since the land
slide of 189i? had made the House demo
cratic on a presidential ballot as well as
on a court*. of individuals.
?
* *
The republican difficulties increased so
rapidly as to remind the party leaders
that misfortunes
Party Difficulties never come sin
r , ? ... *ly. The wage
Increased Rapidly. *arners t n the
Homestead steel mills, who were claimed
as the beneficiaries of the McKinley tariff
on iron and steel products, were so dis
satisfied with their relations with Car
negie. Frick and other owners of the
mills that they voted a strike. The mill
owners hired a force of Pinkerton de
tectives and ? pitched battle was fought.
The trouble went on, and constituted
the answer of every democratic orator
to the claim of the republican spellbinders
that the tariff brought prosperity to the
workingman.
The election was a hard-foug'nt one, but
when the returns came in they showed a
popular plurality over Harrison of near
ly 400,(XW. ? Only two Presidents in the
history of the country have gtme before
the people three times and each time re
ceived more votes than any of his com
petitors. Cleveland carried the country
on a popular vote in 18H4, 1888 and 1802,
incre-slng his lead each time. Andrew
Jackson got the popular verdict in 1824,
1828 and 1832.
Only a few long-headed political lead
ers like Quay foresaw the defeat of Har
rison. Their ability to forecast accurate
ly arose from the fact that Harrison had
incurred their enmity and set them on the
fence, where they could view the outcome
with indifference and prevent the wish
from fathering the thought that Harrison
would win. Quay by his masterful hand
ling of the campaign had undoubtedly
elected Harrison the first time, but at the
first visit h: made to the White House
after the in&ueruration Harrison Kave
him to understand that it was Providence
and not Quay who had given him his
job, and he felt under no obligations to
' meet Quay's requests for patronage. That
quarrel defeated the force bill, a measure
that even its most ardent supporters at
that tln.e are now glad was defeated.
The election of 185K2 witnessed the
breaking of faith by one elector. North
Dakota was then casting its first vote,
and three electors, seeing that Cleveland
had such a large majdrlts*, split their
votes?one for Cleveland, one for Harri
son and one for Weaver." They had been
elected a very close margin, so thet
one republican elector got it. The other
two had been on a fusion Weaver ticket,
but one voted for Cleveland.

To Face When Virginia League
Clubs Meet.
CONSTITUTION BIG FACTOR
*
Looks as Though Lynchburg Is Still
j
Member of the League.
Other Gossip.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
RICHMOND, Va.. November 2.?When
the magnates of the Virginia League as
semble around their board some time this |
month for cheir annual meeting one of
the nicest little problems may be dug up
for their consideration that base ball
powers have had to fcolve for a long time,
and it may be that a decision will not be
reached by these directors that will be
f.nal. The matter hinges around the
make-up of the Virginia League for 1913,
and it is going to be one not easy of solu
tion, especially if outside interests step
in and demand something at the hands of
the league.
To make a long story short: Last June j
Danville fell down on the league, throw- |
ing the team on the organization, which
had to run it for a week or more so as
to keep the schedule going. Then there
was a meeting to cut the circuit to six
clubs. It was necessary to oust one club
to make an even circuit. Lynchburg did
not show sufficient interest in the meet
ing to be represented, and the Lynch
burg club, then hopelessly in the cellar,
although square wi'jh the league finan
cially. was dumped. This left Roanoke,
the other western town, nearly 200 miles
from the nearest town on the circuit
Now, back to the constitution that was
adopted after the memorable fight in
Lynchburg, and see how the league was
constituted. Section II says: "The
league shall consist of eight (8) clubs,
\iz: Richmond, Danville, Lynchburg,
Roanoke, Norfolk and Petersburg, for a
period of five years ending with the an
nual meeting in 1916, and Newport News
and Portsmouth for a period of one (I)
year, ending at the annual meeting in
November. 19i^f as per mutual agree
mena and contract to be entered into be
tween this league and Newport News a"nd
Portsmouth, all subject to the provisions
of this constitution and said agreement."
By defaulting Danville, of course, lost
Its franchise in the league, but such wag
hot the case with Lynchburg, for there
the franchise was taken away over a
protest, after which the Lynchburg as
sociation. holding that its rights had been
taken jway when one of the one-year
teams should have been let out, refused
to pay the salaries which came due the
day the franchise in Lynchburg was de
clared inoperative. These salaries are
still unpaid, the Lynchburg people claim
in.? the league should have been more
liable for them than it was for the de
funct Danville team's debts, which were
paid by the league. They, of course, con
stitute a lien on the Lynchburg territory,
unless it shall be held in the future that
the league should have paid the bills,
which amount to about $650.
Now comes the claim that Lynchburg
is still technically a member of the Vir
ginia League, and that the dumping of
that team last June was only a tem
porary expedient, and that the minute
President Boatwright raps the annual
meeting to order this month Portsmouth
and Newport News Immediately lose their
membership In the circuit. This, if It be
a corrtct stand, would leave five clubs
In the circuit for 1913, and these would
then proceed to the selection of the sixth
to complete the circuit.
It may be held that Lynchburg is not
a member of the league now, but there
Is no way in the world for any one to
claim that Newport News and Ports
mouth will be bona tide members when
the annual meeting shall have been call
ed to order.
It would not be surprising to see that
Lynchburg association get together be
fore the meeting is held and give its
proxy to J. J. Grim, who is seeking a
franchise for Lynchburg, and it is a
grave question when such a proxy should
be presented if Grim could be excluded
from the meeting.
The people of Lynchburg will not raise
the question, but if there is the slightest
opening for Jack Grim to raise it de
pend on it that it will be raised with all
of the energy that onp man can muster.
The Virginia League has presented
some rather knotty and interesting sit
uations for base balldom In the past i
few vears, but if -Tack Grim elects to
raise'this one it will be one that will
once again put Jake Wells old clr<^lt
in the limelight for another week or two.
Considerable dope is being dished up
these days about the formation of a new
Carolina League, which seems to have
been blocked by the refusals of the Ap
palachian league to permit Ashevillei to
transfer its affections to a new c.ruut
made up wholly of Carolina towns. The
wind seems to point to a new circuit in
North Carolina, with Charlotte. Greens
boro and Winston-Salem as a nucleus,
and this causes some of the South Caro
lina towns to yield up the ghost and
think there is nothing doing for them
from a base ball standpoint for next sea
son. when there is now there one of
the fittest fields for a rattling good cir
cuit All it wants is some one to nurse
it a little and it will make a corker
With Charleston and Augusta lying idle
after some experience in the South At
lantic. and Spartansburg and Greenville
eager, as of yore, to be in the game,
what's the matter with these four towns
forming an alliance with Rock Hill and
Sumter or Anderson for an interstate
league? Any six of the cities named
will give an aggregate population qt
l.-?o000 (1910 census flguresi. and it ought
to be a good feeding ground for young
hopefuls who have major league ambi
tions.
The i-ommittee named at the Roanoke
meeting to audit the accounts of the \ Ir
einia League for the past season lias
done its work, and President Boat
wright's books have been sealed with an
official O. K. The committee consisted
of Bradley of Richmond and Pritc hard
of Petersburg, who acted in connection ,
with President Boatwright. i
The proposition to form a new league
down in Georgia calls to mind the organ
ization down there in 1906, which when it
broke sent some mighty good material to
the Virginia League. About the best who
drifted into the Old Dominion circuit from
this disbandment was Harry Stewart, the
pitcher who went to Lvnchbui g and
proved to be a winner for several seasons,
and who is now in the Pacific Coast
League. Stewart was traded to Houston, i
Tex., for Arthur Wallace, who played in j
the Virginia League with Lynchburg, >
Richmond. Danville and Norfolk and is!
now under suspension to the latter team, i
A ?eason with Houston prepared Stewart
for work on the coast, and there he has
done good work as pitcher and utility
man on several teams for three or four
seasons. Stewart is under reservation
now to the Vernon Club.
Among other ex-Virginia leaguers now
in the coast league are Walter Schmidt,
formerly with Roanoke, who was secured
by that team by draft from the Carolina
Association and was sold to San Fran
cisco after a season in Virginia. John
Teidemann, with Oakland, is a protege
of Wynne Clark. Teidemann was found
by Clark on a training ship at Norfolk
and he saw so much future in him that
he worked for and secured his discharge
from the navy. Although Teidemann did
not do much his first year, Clark pre
dicted great things of him, and he seems
to be measuring up to expectations with
the Oakland outfit, for he has been there
two seasons. Walter Doa::e. with Port
land. played with Roanoke two years,
being sold his firs' season here to Cleve
land. who farmed him to New Orleans.
Doane came back again with Roanoke
was recalled by the Naps and sent t > the
coasts where his hitting has gotten him
a job.
%
Joe Quirk, trainer for the Boston Red
Sox, spent a portion of the week in
Lvnchburg with his wife's relations. Mrs.
Ouirk was a Miss Towson, a member of a
will known Lynchburg family.
The meeting of the Carolina towns to
build a 1013 schedule, which is to be held
at Charlotte next Thursday, promised to
be one of interest This league completed
this year a five-year agreement, which
went through without a breax in the cir
cuit. a condition very unusual for a D
class organization
The Newport News fans, despite the
fact that they have no assurance that
they will have a franchise after the com
ing meeting of the Virginia League, have
formed an association which is appying
for a charter from the state corporation,
and already the directors are in the mar
ket for a manager for next season
E N. Shaw, an outfielder drafted by
Dayton of the Central League, from John

DESPONDENT
DYSPEPTICS
have taken a new hope after
testing the powers of the great
stomach remedy
STOMALIX
Chronic cases of indigestion
have heretofore been hard to cure;
prescribed diets, health foods, the
conventional remedies,often fail to
afford relief; the sufferer becomes
discouraged, despondent.
Now try a remedy acting on a
new principle; yott need not adopt
a changed and rigorous diet, but
take, with your ordinary food, a
spoonful of Stomallx in water;
go cheerfolly about your business;
the old stomach distresses will
begin to lessen; good cheer, ambi
tion and vigor will return.
