let me read a couple of passages from our book to illustrate how some of this deal making was going on. ohio congressman john sloan found himself sitting across a dinner table from sam houston, an important jackson operative who mused between bites that ohio would surely go for jackson in the house vote. sloan was an experienced politician in his mid-40s, a jefr sewngen who had preferred clay. and his response to houston was measured. he had not spoken to the others of his delegation he said guardedly. sloan believed houston looked anxious as he spoke about what a splendid administration it would make with old hickory as president and mr. clay as secretary of state. later as houston bade sloan farewell he made doubly sure his offer had not been misunderstood. well, i hope you from ohio will aid us in helping general jackson sloan recalled him saying with a winking repeat of the proposed deal, and then your man meaning mr. clay can have anything he pleases. and then there was the case of daniel cooke of illinois. old hickory's men heard the distressing news that the young illinois congressman daniel p. cooke intended to vote for adams. at 30 years of age and in frail
