THE ELECTIONEERS. 



In the preceding table of early records of the sons and 

 daughters of the great Electioneer, especially when we take 

 into consideration the breeding of their dams, may be found an 

 object lesson worthy of study by the coming breeder of the 

 American Trotter, as in it we find the unmistakable ability of 

 this great sire to transmit his speed quality to his sons and 

 daughters through mares of different breeding and of different 

 breeds, and thoroughbreds as well as trotters and pacers. 



As to the trotting action of the Electioneers, Charles Mar- 

 vin says : " They are mostly prompt, round-gaited horses, and 

 straight-lined trotters. They do not have to square away or 

 strike a position to get up speed. 



" As a rule they are close gaited. The majority of them do 

 not throw the hind foot outside of the fore foot in trotting, but 

 go under the line trotting principle. They do not have to go a 

 mile or so to get untangled ; they trot low, have no waste ac- 

 tion, and gather speed quickly and smoothly."
