Now, ! say 10 my honorable friend
from Dalawsre, for personally thesa arc
our relations, that sha Democratic party
By name is party OF very modern origin.
| rafaember long before It was born; was
present af iss christening. ipyopose in
momens to strip OF shia aseil which sov-
era whss are claimed sometimes 10 be the
/ glorious antecsdeuts OF The great Deme-
cratic party. What IL the fact, Mr. Pres
i1entg In iT98 the Repabls sean party
was originated, and Jefferson and Madi-
son and Monroe and Che great statesmen
OF that period were iss founders. Ip 1900
the Republican party elected Jefferson
President for four years. In 1904 the
Repuhlicaa party elected jefferson again
Tor four years more. In 1868 lt was The
Republican party which elected Dir. Mad
fson as president Of the Usited States. -
In 1916 the Republican party elected
Monroe as presideat, and again Ia 1879 e.
lscted him without any opposition what
sTer. The party opposed 30 tha Repub-
licsR payty during AL that period from
1900 ia 1870 was tbs Reaeral party, and
in 1920 the Federal party ~ such yielded
up its existence, aad in 1924 there were
four candidates for the Presidency, eEesy
one pf them RAINING rs Republicans, not
as Democrats. Mg. Crawford was the
nominee of the regular causes in 1874 !;
Gen. Jackson ran as an independent Re-
publican csadidate from Tennessee. Dir.
Clay az an Independents Republican can
didates from New England, for be atthat
time bad given 10 bis adhesion TO the Re-
publican party. In 1895 there was no
choice for President By the peopls; 1t
went TO the House o. Representatives
and Mr.. Adams was chosen as President.
Ia 1873, General jackson, nominated by
the people, not as a Democratic eandi-
date and rs a Republican, was elected
President OF the United States and In
1882, for the iirst time in the history Of
the country, was the assumption given to
the Republissn party. or that branch ct
il which Supported General Jackson. OF
8he Demscr atie Republican party. lt was
eonsrivance Of Mr. Van Busen to secure,
not the nomination of Gen. Jackson, but
his owa domination rs Vice President
under him. Ii was whoa the first aasiea-
al convention that was ever held 10 the
United States, called also ut the iustiga-

and then for the GrM Time that branch Of
