DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A History of Presidential Elections I have endeavored to collect and present all important mat ters relating to the presidency, beginning with the constitu tional history of the office, covering every public event and discussion which had a perceptible influence in determining who should hold the office, and in connection therewith to note the origin and sketch the history of all political parties, however ephemeral, that rose above the rank of a local faction. And, since one President is different from another, I have tried to show wherein and in what manner the personal quali ties of the Presidents have affected the course of public events and of the national history.

The character and conduct of those individuals who are honored with the public confidence, are subjects in relation to which there always exists a desire to be enlightened. The nature of our Institutions is such, that every man becomes, to a certain extent, a politician; and no one can be exalted so high, as not to feel the popular scrutiny, or yield to the popular will. It is for these reasons, that the History of Political Parties becomes so full of importance to the intelligent and reflecting voter.

As yet, however, no adequate account of that controversy has been published. It has seemed to me that there is some need for such an account, and this book is the result of my effort, successful or otherwise, to supply it.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from How Presidents Are Made There is a general impression that presidents are elected upon issues; that is, questions of national policy that arise from time to time, supposedly every four years. This is a mis take, as few presidents have been chosen on is sues, and few issues have been settled by presi dential elections. Personality and Opportunity have had much to do with the result, and it is interesting to note how often accident or inci dent has played an important part in president making. Parties are the natural outgrowth of politics. For the most part men have voted for their party candidate regardless of issues, often when they knew that the party candidate was not the best man and that the party platform was wrong on the main issues. Party allegiance in a large majority of cases overtops patriotic judgment. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A History of the Presidency The basis of this book is the History of Presidential Elec tions, originally published in 1884. In the preparation of that work the meagreness and comparative inaccessibility of material concerning the early elections made the chapters that deal with that period somewhat barren. Increasing abundance of material and greater familiarity with the political history of more recent times caused a broadening of the plan, and led to the result that the later chapters of the original work, and still more the chapters added in subsequent editions, in 1888, 1892, and 1896, were much more than a history of the elections. I have thought that the usefulness of the book might be greatly enhanced by rewriting a large part of it, supplying deficiencies by a more diligent search for and study of the facts relating to the presidency in the early days of the gov ernment, and enriching it throughout with new personal, explanatory, and other enlightening matter, thus making the whole work uniform in method. This has enabled me to introduce a fuller discussion of some of the political problems to which the constitutional provisions regarding the presiden tial office have given rise. More important still, the revision and expansion of the work have given me a much-desired opportunity to modify some opinions expressed in the original book which a more careful and thorough examination of origi nal sources of information has led me to regard as not well founded. The last consideration has the more weight in view of the use that has been made of the book in the history depart ments of our colleges.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Democratic Party: A History HE Democratic party has had an uninterrupted exist ence of nearly one hundred and thirty years. Founded in 1791 with Thomas Jefferson as its chief spon sor, it attracted immediately the enthusiastic and affection ate support of the masses of the people, who were determined that the institutions and government of the United States should have the character of a democracy and not an aristocratic system based upon the superior presump tions and pretensions of a few. Its development was so rapid that at the national elections of 1792 it secured control of the popular branch of Congress and cast 55 of the total 132 Electoral votes for President and vice-president. In 1796 it lacked but two votesxof the number required to decide the result in the 'electoral College; and in 1800 it won a triumphant victory, electing the President and Vice President and also a marked majority of the members of each house of Congress. Thus established as the ruling power of the nation, it was so maintained by the people, nearly always by overwhelming majorities, for an unbroken period of forty years, when it experienced a temporary reverse without, however, any abatement of its vitality or deviation from its original principles or character. Those principles and that character, distinguishing it as the party of the masses of the people in composition, instincts, action, and general acceptation, it has since preserved through all the vicissitudes of its fortunes.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from An Address to the People of the United States on the Presidential Election As a citizen of Tennessee, and a candidate for Elector of President and Vice-President of the United States in one of the Electoral Districts of this state, the undersigned has heretofore assigned thro' the medium of the newspapers, some of the reasons which have induced his determination to support Mr, Crawford. As a citizen of this great Republic, and possessing the rights and privileges common to every member thereof, he now avails himself of the opportunity afforded by the Press, to furnish to those concerned, some of the reasons which in his opinion ought to operate against the selection of other candidates. In undertaking this investigation, which, with regard to at least one of the aspirants of his own state, he conceives an imperious duty to himself and his country, he is well aware that he will undergo the censures and upbraiding of sycophants and partisans, many of whom entertain in reality the same opinions with himself, but make different professions; that he will be termed violent and abusive, when he is merely referring to acts of violence and abuse in others; and that he will be denounced by demagogues, as seeking to gratify personal hostility, when he only expresses what they know and feel, but have not courage to pronounce.
