In congress there was a group alignment more often than a party alignment Bo far aa federalist opposition to Jefferson la concerned, ##* was slight, but there was a considerable antiadministration party in congress duriag most of his two terms and during those of his successors. There was no real oppo- sition to , Jefferson's re-election in 1804. When* however, it came to Madison's election in 1808, there ap- peared to be what may be called the first "bolt." ^ The method of nomination then *ds by congressional caucus. When Madison was turned in that manner it brought out a "protest" signed by seventeen Republican members of the house, who denied both the regular- ity and expediency of the caucus. Thd revolt was so widespread that George CHtttSh of New York; the nominee for ▼ice-president, felt it necessary to come out With a signed statement in which he disavowed his consent to CSttCUs nomln wHca\ and re- pudiated the^l proceedings *hat had placed him Iff nomination.

In 19U there was no effective oppo- sltion to Monroe either within or without his party, "bat there were murmurs against the usurpation of the nominating power by ooagress through the congressional caucus which foreshadowed the abandonment of that method of placing a nominee before the people. Monroe's second election came at the height of the "era of good feeling" and ha had but a single vote against him In the electoral college. When the election of 1824 took place there had been no development of parties and the elec- tion w« settled on other than party grounds. One thing was definitely nettled early In the campaign and that was that the caucus method of nominating was doomed. William H. Crawford, who waa made the caucus nominee and claimed, therefore, regu- larity, received little or no support based on that claim. If opposition to the caucus nominee can be said at a time when all parties meant nothing, to be bolts, there were three bolts soon In operation, one centering about Andrew Jackson, another about John Qulncy Adams and still another about Henry Clay. "Regular" Nominee Last. When the votes were counted, in- deed, it was found that all three of the antlcaucus nominees--Jackson, Clay and Adams--had more votes than the regular caucus nominee, Crawford. No one, however, had a majority of the electoral votes, and the election was thrown into the house of repre- sentatives, which chose Adams. In 182$, whan Jackaon was elected, and in 1832, when he was re-elected, there were no signs of party bolts, although in the latter year, on account of the nullification feeling. South Carolina refused him her electoral vote and gave it to John Floyd of Vir- Julius g*!| $; ivunsylvania then, as naw, was b. there* oTWMh* ouestion of electors Originally the McKean branch of the party, known as the constitutionalists, had opposed Madison.

The opposition to Jackson's heir, Martin Van Buren, was split up in order to take advantage of local conditions. The candidacy of Judge Hugh L. White of Tenneasee repre- sented the extent of the Democratic dissent from the Jackson-Van Buren agreement The first abolition volt in 1840 had little or no result In 1844, however, it threw the support of New York, where It held the balance of power, from Clay to Polk, and has always been credited with electing Polk. The Free Soil movement, with Van Buren as its nominee in 1848, un- doubtedly contributed to the suc- cess of Taylor, the Whig nominee in that year, by cutting into the Demo- cratic vote. The bolt of the southern delegates from the Democratic con- vention In 1860 was a memorable one, but it was not So much a party bolt as it was a phase of greater move- ment The Liberal Republican bolt In 1872 was a futile one, and the free silver bolts in both parties in 1896 are of too recent occurrence to need extended mention. FRUIT THIEVES ARE STILL WORKING HERE Despite the close watch of the police apple trees in different parts of Bvanston are being robbed of their fruit by small boys. Many complaints have been made at the police station, which resulted in some of the officers being detailed to try to catch the fruit stealing lads. The small boys are not the only af- fenders, however, as several women have complained that drivers on de- livery wagons take the fruit as they run into the yards with packages. The police say they will put a stop to the stealing if it takes the entire force to 6V> it She--In a way. getting married Is like using the telephone.

IS AFTER A BIG PRIZE With 10,000 miles yet to travel be- fore he wins a $80,000 prise, Julius Rath, a St Louis newsboy, who set out from that elty in 1887 to walk 500,000 miles around the world, ar- rived in Bvanston Monday. He tramped from Milwaukee, visiting all the lake shore villages. The globe trotter's eighteen-year hike will end at the Panama-Pacific exposition in o«u Franoisco In 1916. If at -this time It Is found that he has complied with all the conditions stipulated in the ?*g*eement he will be presented witflr% check for $80/ 000 by the St Lei**; dub. Rath was selected to make the tedious trip from ittO St Louis news- boys and there wea# certain terms he had to agree to which makes the task a difficult one. He agreed to earn bis expenses by selling picture cards and is not to beg, borrow or steal. He is permitted to give lec- tures but cannot take pay for them. He gives the talks to advertise his cards. At the finish of the trip Rath must have $1,000 in cash and a dog. He now has $800 and a dog. During the years he has been walking the young man, who is now 26 years old, has outwalked four dogs. The dog he has with him at present is the fifth animal he has had. He secured the dog while tramping through Alaska and hopes that it will last the re- mainder of the Journey. The pet Is part Russian wolf hound and part "hnskie." • When Rath etarted .from St Louis fifteen years ago he could neither read nor write. He now speaks twenty-seven languages. During his Jaunt he has visited every city of im- portance in the world and has met the rulers of all countries. In each city he visits he secures the signa- ture of the chief of police, the mayor and the postmaster. The signatures he has fills scores of books. He cannot remember the number of times he has crossed the ocean but his books show it to be very many. While traveling by boat he must walk twelve hours a day and is al- lowed half of the distance traveled by the steamer. The books he has filled with sig- natures and othe^jpptems during his tramp are to become the property of the board of education of the Dis- trict of Columbia when he completes his Journey. The globe trotter's uniform is nearly covered with medals. He also carries a gun, axe, hunting knife, blankets, a piece of canvas he can use for a canoe, a horn he uses to call his dog, a camera, a canteen and some ginseng root, which he usee as a substitute for water when neces- sary. All of this luggage weighs forty pounds. Since he started on the long grind Rath has worn out 437 pairs of shoes. He has traveled a distance which is equal to 490 trips between Chicago and New York. He is confident he will finish his task under the agree- ment he signed. DOG OWNERS COMPLAIN. Many dog owners have complained that the basin at Fountain square for dogs to drink from is not kept clean. The owners claim that they pay a license for their pets and the dogs' drinking place should be kept as clean as that for the horses. HAS HUSBAND ARRESTED.
