The demount have more tnoouraie

Jackson' political enamtoe declared
that hit veto ef the bank bill in 1SU
would mean polltioal aulalda for him.
Atne&g the business element of moit of
the) oountry, aamoorata a wall oa re
publicans, the bank had warm and In
fluential frtende. Undoubtedly It did
good icrvioo to trade- Jackeon'a war
against It. which he began ehortly after
h entered office in 1829, wai chiefly due
to the foolish prejudio of the eeotlon
from which h oime. Ho wai honeet in
hit belief that the bank wa a harmful
monopoly, and that it wai alio a polit
ical machine whioh wai dangoroui to the
country. Thue he believed it to be hli
duty to kill it at the expiration of lti
charter, He had a pereonal fued with
the bank'! head, Nlobolaa Blddle. Jack
eon charged that the bank 1 Bought to
rule the oountry and to make and un
make prealdenti. Ho believed thii accu
sation and he lad many of the people to
believe it. But the banker! of tha great
oeatari, the merchant!, tho manufactur
er! and otheri who were in large enter

did not ihara Jaokion'i prejudloe, Great

the financial ohaol ef tho war of U1S-1S
. ahowed the hood of a big institution of
, thii lert, and it wai treated in 1816 on
tho Uhei of a prevloui institution, which
: looted from lTtl to 1111,
gome of tho indteereet friend! of tho
bank, however, placed It In politic, and
thu played into tb hand! of Hi en
tniei. In polling bill through both
fcranehee of eengraii in lUt for a now
Bharter, although tho existing on had
four yean ef life itlll ahead of it, they
rnade It a political lieu in a preeiden
tlal Campaign, and thue lneured It over-
threw. Jaokson wo renominated In that
year, and Clay, a eloto friend of Nicholas
Biddia, wai tha candidate of all of jok
een'i ensfflle. In paMlng tho bank bill
they but up a challenge to Old Hickory
to fnto the bill if b dared. He wai not
the kind of a man to ba intimidated
easily, . and h promptly accepted the
challenge, The veto eama promptly and
tho baok'e friend were unable to mutter
tho heeosoary two-thirdi veto to over
ride that barrier. Many democrat! broke
tvway from Jeokaon on that question, but
he gained new friend, for the charge
that the bank wai a political institution
teemed to hundred! of peraoni to be
substantiated by tha act of aaking tor a

that inue Old Hickory won a weeping
triumph, gaining a muah larger major

Moreover, the oonteet In hli party
whiffh hli warfare on the bank in hia
leeond term aroused did not bring party
defeat. It did, indeed, fore all hi! eno
tniee ef ivory political shade into the
coalition of 1184, which became the whig
party. That party made a itrong demon
stration In tho oongreciional canvan of
that year, yet Jackson eaaily elected hi
political heir, Van Buren, in 1S8. Van
Duren wai far leu popular than Jack
eon, but the latter boldly placed him in
nomination to b hie successor, dared
hit democratic friendi to tight him, and
carried the election for hin without
much exertion. It wai laid, indeed, by a
feeetioue democrat of the after day that
the story of the political calm of Van
IBuren'i time formed an apoetropho be
tween the convulsion of the Jaokeon era
and the tempeetuoui day of Polk and
the MesJcan war, and oould be apoken of
in a low tone ef voloe, or omitted alto
gether, without altering the lenee of the
political narrative. Nevertheless, Van
Buren's ilectlen wai a political triumph
for Jaekien. In the prooooeien to the
capital en March i, MS7, tha proudest
tnan in the cortege was tho outgoing and
bet the Incoming president. The old ex
eauttve and hot the hew one reoeived
met ef the plaudit! ef the populace.
When the south turned against Van
Buren in the national convention of 1844
disruption in the democratic party wee
predicted by ell the whlge and by many
democrat!. It wai the fint time that the
eeetien line wai drawn In a democratic
national fathering. Already there were
premenitlens ef the catoclyera for the
demeeratlo party which cam sixteen
yean later, when the party spilt into two
fragment! (it Charleston, each of which,
at an adjourned convention in another
place, nonilnatdd a different ticket, thus
making inevitable the republican victory
which would have been probable even if
the demeeratlo party had remained unl
ted. Sut the rupture did not come in the
campaign ef 1844. Polk wai nominated
Instead of Van Buren, although nobody
thought of Polk aa a possibility until
after several unavailing ballot hod token
place in the convention. When Polk car
ried the country againit the whig idol,
Clay, the country woe serprieed. Many
democrats, too, were grieved, as well as
surprised, for Clay was eo much more
conspicuous than Polk that it seemed as
if he deserved election, regardlees of the
fortune of the party which nominated
him. The eiroumetance that Clay was
defeated by a much omaller personage
was a striking tribute to the vitality of
the demooratto party.
The Whtire and Slavery. .,
A strong fight was waged In the whig
convention of 1848 between the friends
end the enemies of slavery. The element
of the party which opposed the (ranting
of any further concessions to that insti
tution called themaelvea conscience whlgs,
or were thue called, in derision, by the
other section of the party, while they
dubbed their rivals cotton whig. Among
the former there was eotne 'opposition to
Geaeral Zocbary Taylor, because he was
a slaveholder. The fact that he never
had any experience in politic and had
never voted until that year, having passed
his entire manhood Ufa In the army, was
lees objectionable to the radiool element I
of the northern whlge than wae his etatus
ei an owner of slave. Tet In the elec
tion Taylor won. Moreover, in office, he
showed hlmielt far less indulgent to Slav-1
ery than did the northern man, Fillmore,'
the vice preeldent whom Taylor's death
ent to the higher office. Fillmore ligned
all the measures of Clay' oompromla of
I860, while Taylor wai known to be de
cidedly hostile to some of them. Taylor's
life, it it had lasted through the terra.
might or might not have helped his party, i
but it certainly would have brought a
orlili tor the country. On the whole the
oountry was benefited by the poetpone
ment of the inevitable eectlon rupture
until the north and west hod gained the
strength to give freedom victory when
the conflict cam.
After the Kansas-Nebraska convulsion
of 1S64 precipitated ltielf on the oountry
he would have been a rather bold man
who would have predicted aucceie for the
democratic party in 18C6. Tho bill whioh
organised the territories of Nebraska and
Kansaa in the former year repealed tho
Missouri slavery prohibition of 1830 n
the northern territories. Douglas, who
pushed this bill through congress, and
Pierce, who signed it, were denounced
by hundred! of thousand of persons,
many of them democrats, throughout the
free states. The hostility to that meas
ure In the north and west was so great
that the new party which that issue
created defeated the democrats in No
vember, 1854, although only a few month
old at the time. Douglas said that he
oould have traveled from Washington ta
hi home In Chicago Juit after that
measure wai poised by the light of his
burning effigies. Pierce hod a hostile
houie of representative! during the sec
ond half of his term. But Pierce' party
carried the presidency In 1868. Pierce
himself did not get a renominatlon, al
though he sought It earnestly, and prob
ably deserved it. Buchanan of the same
party, who followed in the footstep! of
Pierce on the ilavary Issue, got th nom
ination for the suce-i-slon and carried tho
oountry.
Fremont aa m Bolter.
Something which looked very much like
a rupture precipitated itself on the re
publican party in 1884, and. for a time,
seemed to portend party defeat By one
element of that party, whioh lnoludod
many old-Um anti-slavery leadiri, Lin
coln wa denounced tor hi Imagined "re
actionary" viewi. Th radiool republican!
held a convention of tbetr own and placed
a ticket in tb field, headed by Fremont,
the first republican candidate for the
presidency, who had mode the fight
against Buohonoo la ISM. Tha cry o'
U&ooln'i republican snsmie wai: "Or
ganise. Prevent the national disaster of
hii r-eleoUon." On plank in th plat
form on which Fremont itood aa a bolt
ing republican in 18M said that "th one-
term policy tor the presidency
itrngthDd by th force of th xlt-
log crlila, and ihould b maintained by
constitutional amendment." Tb hostility
to Lincoln, indeed, wag 10 itrong among
on Motion of hi party that for week
attar hi nomination by th regular re
publican and war democrats, forming the
national union party, he believed he
would b defeated. Tet when the ballots
wire counted it wai found that he bod

Greeley's nomination in 1872 wa the
result of a republican bolt, and when
th democrat! went to hli aupport many
republican feared that Grant would be
defeated. For a few week after the
democrat accepted Greeley th betting
men in New Tork ottered oddi on him,
and hm& gome difficulty in obtaining tok
en. Grant, himself, it wa sold at the
time, never doubted that he would be
re-elected, bat many of th republican
leaden, at the outset in th campaign,
did not share thii confidence. The coun
try wo urp rlied at the apparent heartl-
neei with whioh the south accepted the
leadership of it old enemy. An ele
ment of th itraighout democrat! re
futed to aupport Greeley, and, in a con
vention at Louliville, nominated Chorlei
O'Connor. The nominee refuted to ac
cept, but th refuial wai rejected. O'Con
nor received about 80,000 votee. but he
attracted no attention. Greeley mode o
tour of a few itatei and made some
short talk which wen modeli of "point"
oi well at brevity. But long before the
election took place hit follower lost
their enthusiasm, and hi campaign col.
lapsed. Grant received a larger -ma
jority even than he rolled up in 1888,
when hit opponent wot Seymour.
Blaine, however, wo twice a victim
of a vendetta. In 1878 he hod a long
lead In the convention, but the concen
tration of most of his enemies on a
smaller aspirant, Hayes, gave the latter
the candidacy. Hayes was elected by
a narrow margin. Defeat met Blaine -In
the convention of US0 also. He was
successful in getting the candidacy In
1384, but was beaten at the polls by a
comparatively new man, Cleveland. Fate
was peculiarly unkind to the man from
Maine. He withdrew from the contest
for the candidacy In 1888, when his nomi
nation would have been certain had he
permitted it, and when bis election would
have been probable, Harrison, who de
feated Cleveland in that year, hardly
polled aa many votes as Blaine could
have commanded. He lacked Blaine's
experience In politic and great person 1
popularity. The antagonisms which h
aroused in 1S7, 1SS0 and 1S84 had spent
their force. Hi old republican enemy.
Conkllng, Wa dead. An element of the
New Tork democrats cut Cleveland and i
he lost that state. The conditions were
all favorable to Blaine hod he remained
In the race for the candidacy. Oppor
tunity for success was there, but It
never came again. When he entered the
field in 1898 the tradition which gave republican-elected
presidents a second
nomination worked against him, and
Harrison beat him in the convention, and
wo himself defeated at th polls.
Cleveland ie Blamed.
It was intimated early in hie second
term that President Cleveland was or
ganising defeat for his party in the ap
proaching preeidentlal campaign. On the
silver issue he came in conflict with tho
western and southern end of his party,
whioh were the majority. . In his attack
on Senator Gorman in 1894 for reshaping
the tariff bill, which Wilson had pushed
through the house on the general lines
which he hod urged, Cleveland creoted a
schism in the party, which rose up to
trouble him and th party afterward. The
tariff bill of 1904, indeed, became a lew,
but It did so without Cleveland's signa
ture. While he doubtless preferred It to
the McKlnley act then on the statute
books, he contemptuously cast the Gor
man distortion of the house measure
aside, and let it become a law by the
expiration of the Un-day time limit
Cleveland was blamed by the opposition
element of hie party for the defeat of
1894, which handed house and senate

over to the republlcane. The national
convention of his party in 1896 refused to
indorse hie administration. It nominated
a candidate, William J. Bryan, whom he
distrusted, on a platform, which he de
nounced. ,
The democratic feud of IS, of which
Mr. Bryan was the center, had a counter
part In tho republican party, whoee
standard beRrer in that year wae Wil
liam McKlnley. Many delegates, chiefly
from the Rocky Mountain region, "walked
out" of the republican convention of
1S96 and transferred their support to the
Bryan ticket. A still larger number of
democrats, however, deserted Bryan and
came over to McKlnley. On the con
vulsivo silver Issue ever)- party, small
and great, in 1898 wo split. Th con
servative section of the voter of th two
large parties supported the republican
ticket, and elected it. It wae the closest
canvass, however, which the past two
decades saw. McKlnley, a man of much
political experience, of fair ability and
vf some personal popularity, hod a ma
jority of only ninety-five In the electoral
college. A usual, the "magnetic" man,
Bryan, lost, Just as did the "magnetic"
men of 1844, Cloy; of 1860, Douglas, and
of 1S84, Bloine. The only presidential
candidate who aroused tumultuous ac
claim, who was ever supremely itrong
at the polls was Roosevelt, as in 1904,
when he won his plurality of ,600,000. a
far longer lead thot was ever galnt Ky
a presidential nominee before or since.
The Bryan and McKlnley vendetta of
1698, however, had a comparatively short
life. In the contest between the same
candidates In 1M0, nearly all the seced
era, democratic and republican, were
back In the old ranks and have re
mained there ever since. Charles M.

BURIAL OF A BAND HERO
Last Rites for Wallace Hartley of
Tltanlr In His Enallsb
Village Home.
Eastern Dakota
Gets Good Showers
PIERRE, S. D., July 4.-(Special Tele
gram.) Showers continued over the state
generally up to this morning, with Indica
tions for more rainfall. The rains in
this part of the state have been of great
benefit, as June was an exceptionally dry
month. Kormen report corn, hoy and
potatoes to be getting along all right,
but that small grain has heon damaged
by the Intense heat of last week.
Wallace Hartley, the leader of the Tl
tonic's band, which played "Nearer, My
God, to Thee,'' as the ship sank, was
brought home to Coins, Lancashire. Here
on the side of tha beautiful valley they
burled the body, which was found days
after floating in the sea. The burying
was worthy of the death he died.
It wae as a hero that he was borne
shoulder high, with bonde of music,
through streets massed thick with peo
ple. It was as a hero that he was low
ered Into the last earthly placo with
trumpets sounding over him "Th laet
post" and the hillside across the river
anewered.
Of the homecoming Itself few eaw
much. In the dork, early morning hours
a closed vehicle grimly suited to the
night tolled elowly up the twisting hill
sides of northeast Lancashire after mak
ing th long journey by road from Liver
pool. Watchful policemen eaw It and
ehone their lanterns upon it But a word
with the driver ond they stood at at
tention and touched their helmets. '
The vehicle put down its burden at a
little chapel low down in the hillside
township of Colne. Here as a boy Wal
lace Hartley had sung in the choir. Here
his father, his mother and sisters had
worshipped. Here they come together to
toke their lost look at him.
The church was filled with people. Old
schoolfollowe of Wallace Hartley's, rela
tives, friends filled every seat. Over
head alongside the orgon and helping it
muslo were musicians violinists, 'cel
lists, and the rest of the Colne orchestra,
comrade with whom be once had played,
the ablest violinist of them oil, it is sold.
Near them was the choir of men and
girls, mill girls, many of them, ond each
dressed in comely white and black. Their
sweet voloes and the orgon and the or
chestra filled this tiny horseshoe chapel.
First come the strain! of th noblest of
hymn tunes, the one sung to "O God,
Our Help in Ages Past." ond then o new
setting of "Lead, Kindly Light."
Then came Sullivan'! hymn, now lurely
immortal, "Nearer. My God, to Thee."
Many eould not sing it. Those sweet

Through its use Dr. Pierce has found in his professional
experience that the blood is purified and enriched, disease-producing
1 bacteria destroyed and expelled from the body, thus catarrhal,
scrofulous and kindred affections are overcome, and sound, vigorous
health established.

away, perhaps to mld-Atlantlc, to breath
less, heart-broken "good-bye," to silence
and deathly suspense, broken only by
music filtering slight and distant throunh
the compantonways and half-open ports
the music of this simple, childlike tune,
"Nearer, My Qod. to Thee."
The street outside the chapel was
thronged with people. A mile end half
up the hill the cemetery lies away from
the chapel, but not a spot on the road
side was vacant. Where the railway
crosses the road people had climbed the
eteep banks and covered them. The wall
of the railway bridge was fringed with
heads. There were men, women and
children from miles around. The trains
and tramway care had poured folk into
Colne. Moft of them wore black, btf
many were in working clothee, straight
from the mills women weavers in their
drab shawls, men in their blue and brown
overalls, miners with faces black.
The funeral cortege was half mile
long. Aldermen, councillors, ambulance
irien, police, boys' brigades and others
had a place. There were seven bands,
and there might have been fifty-seven,
for almost every band of Lancashire and
Yorkshire asked to be allowed to come.
Away up the hill and past the spot where
the Wallace Hartley memorial atone Is
to be placed the procession slowly made
its way, and every workman's hat ifi
lifted reverently as it passed: every child,
was still.
The solemn burial service, read in a
manly voice, just reached those stand
ing some little distance from the grave
side. Then the playing of the bands
swelled through the valleys to the sing

Then "The last post" was sounded. A
dosen boy scouts blew it, and they blew
It finely. The notes went rolling through
the valley and came floating back linger
