CONVENTION MOTIFS.
Looking over political history find that
our government has gone through 90 pre.
sidential terms, and that the nominations
have been made the first half by congress
sional caucuses and the last half by ma
tional conventions. The half way point is
1882, when the first convention me, at Bal
timore, nominating Jackson for the second
term. The old hero was so much pleased
with this method that he recommended lis
continuance, which has been maintained
by all parties. Baltimore continued the
centre until the Wings in 1889 selected
harrisburg as the spot for n grand national
council, which was held in December. New
or before or since has q convention been

before election the candidates were before
the public; and his Harrisburg convention
brought Horace Greeley into political ser.
vice. AS soon as Harrison was nominated,
Thurlow Weed and William Ii. Seward
sought an editor for their campaign paper,
and Greeley was invited to take charge of |
the Log Cabin. He was Just % and hay-

ever published, and this prepared him for

ANOTHER POINT.
1t is curious to observe that Just as Clay
was disappointed by the Harrisburg nomi- |
nation in 1880, so Webster was disappoint-
ed in 1852 by losing the nomination in the
Wing convention. In similar manner
Seward was disappointed by the Chicago
convention in 1860 At the latter Greeley
worked hard to Kill Seward and succeeded
Thereby defeating the hopes of the entire
New York delegation. One of these was
John l.. Schoo!cratt of Albany, who mar
ried Stewards niece. This mans expecta-
tons ran SO high that he carried to the con-
vention banner bearing Stewards portrait.

iiect OF this disappointment that School

brought to Albany In his coffin. Douglas
too, was bitterly disappointed by the less

me history OF onr national conventions is
one OF broken hopes and crushed ambi-
ion.
GRFELEYs TURN.
Greeley himself was compelled to drink
he cup he had previously filled for Seward.
md his defeat in 1872 was tnough to wreck

Webster died soon after defeat in the con.
