 the 4 way race for president in 1824 with Jackson getting the most electoral and popular votes but Adams running a close second and Clay trailing in 4th (Wm. Crawford of Ga. the treasury sec. was third)

Clay was 4th in electoral votes (37 v. 41 for Crawford), but was 3d in popular votes -- See Historical Statistics of the United States, p. 1074.

Jackson led Adams 99-84 in electoral votes, and 154, 000 -105, 000 in popular votes.
