Quite a cycle of legendary explana­
tions have gathered around the origin
of the popular term “O. K." It Is held
that In early colonial days the best
rum and tobacco were Imported from
Aux Cayes. in San Domingo. Hence
the best of anything came to be known
locally us Aux Cayes, or “O. K.”
Another explanation refers to the
use of “Old Keokuk,” an Indian chief,
who Is said to have signed treaties
with the Initials “O. K."
However,
the term didn’t come Into general use
until the presidential' campaign ot
1828, when the supposed Illiteracy of
Andrew Jackson, the Democratic can­
didate. led Seba Smith, the humorist,
writing under the name of “Major
jack Downing." to start the story that
Jackson indorsed his palters “O. K."
under the Impression that they formed
the Initials of “Oil Korrect."
James Pnrton, the noted biogra­
pher, discovered In the records of the
Nashville court, of which Jackson
wns judge, numerous documents In­
dorsed “O. R„" meaning "order re­
scinded." He therefore urged that It
wns n belated business that Major
Downing saw on the desk of the pres­
idential candidate. The Democrats, in
lieu of denying the charge, adopted
the letters “O. K.” as a sort of party
cry and fastened them on their ban­
ners.
