The eighth convention assembled at Chit

that it was recorded as follows George B.

vice-president, George II. Pendeton, of
Ohio, was unanimously nominated.

Press Comments.

1t begins to look as if the surest method
of defeating any mans nomination to an
Office of honor and trust, is for himself to
work for it; and the next surest method of
defeat is for him to pay his friends to work
for him. This is as 1t should be. No man
is honored by holding an office that he has
sought by the use of intrigue or money.
Many voters may have little self-compla-
cent pride in believing that they are able
to appreciate the superior qualifications
for office of some man who has not been
thrust upon their attention. Huntington

they can take Issue with Davenport and
win. If they see nothing but defeat with
Nichols, they will then favor the nomna-
ton of Judge Peck who is no mans man.
And Davenport himself favored Peck's
nomination and election toe years ago. If

est of the Central Railroad management is

We have observed with no little pleasure
that in number of quarters there is a
strong feeling in favor of the denomination
OF Judge Peck ms our centennial governor.
The resolutions adopted at the Waitsheld
caucus, which will be found elsewhere, have
the true ring,and il would be no surprising
thing after all if. on mature reflection, the
convention should conclude TO honor Gov
ernOr Peck and itself and the state by re-
tanning his services FOR another term

The governor question this week pre-
sonts no new phases. The Harris Estey
contest is conducted with vigor in Windham
county, but without sending any deluging
tidals over the state. The public generally
have made up their mind that however
successful Deacon Es,ey may have been in
accommodating wealth and doing good, his
tastes and general nttainmente are not such
as to recommend him very highly to the
governcrship OF the state. 1t seems very
fair TO infer that man knowing nothing
OF the art OF navigation should, after taking
the ships rudder, learn the points of one

reople have not yet relieved themselves of

has friends warmly attached to him and

DEMOCRATIC RATIONAL CONVENTIONS.

In connection with the democratic ma
tional convention, which assemblies at St.
Louis next Tuesday, it may be interesting,
briefly, TO recall the former conventions of
that party The first democratic national
convention, for the nomination of a cand-
date for president of the United States,
met in Baltimore in May, 1885, with An
drew Stevenson, of Virginia, president.
After the adoption of the two-thirds rule,
Martin Van Buren was unanimously nomi-
mated for president Of the United States on
the fret ballot, and Richard NJ johnson,
OF Kentucky, ALEC on the fret ballot, was
nomipated for vice-president, receiving one
hundred and seventy EIGHT votes to eighty
seven for william 9. Rives, of Virginia.
The second convention was held at Bal
timore May 8, 1910, with Governor Vii
liam Carroll, of Tennessee, as president,
delegates being present from twenty-one
states, all Of the states then in the union,
except Connecticut, Delaware, Virginia,
South Carolina and Illinois. Martin Van
Buren, was unanimously nominated for
president of the United States, and reso
luton adopted that, inasmuch as there vas

president, it was iaeXpedient to make
choice at that time, bu, that the matte,
should be left to the democracy Of the sew
eral states, trusting that before the cleo
:" ton shall take place, their opinions will
"become so concentrated as to secure the
Z" choice of vce-president by the cleo
"toral college" There was not much OF
an fflrt 10 reconcile differences and com
promise on candidates in those days; and
rs the result proved, there was no parlicu-
lar necessity for a "concentration" of DEM
ocralic opinion, as, unfortunately both fol
wings and democrats, the wings succeeded
at the election, and John Tyler became
vce-president, and, in month after, pres
ident Of the United States
The third convention met May 27, 1874
also at Baltimore, with Hendrick b.
Wright of Pennsy lvanla, as president. Be
lore tho assembling OF the convention,
Martin Van Buren, was the leading candi-
d4le, and his friends confidently pI edicted
his nomination, and had no difficulty in
figuring out the hoped for result. On the
first ballot, Martin Van Buren, received one
hundred and forty six votes, Lewis Cass
eighty-three, Richard NJ. johnson twenty
four, James Buchanan four, John c. Cal
houn six, Levi Woodbury. two, and Charles
Stewart one. So although MIR. Van Buren,
received q majority of twenty-six votes,
that two-thirds rule was in the way and he
was not nominated. The convention re.
manned In session three days, and the bal
lotting went on with varying results, when,
on the eighth ballot, Jane K Polk of Ten
nessee appeared as candidate, receiving,
however, only foriy-four votes. to one
