NOMINATING ooNvENTioN ORIGIN

In that portion OF his argument relating
to and denunciatory of nominating convcu-
tons COLONEL JuNrs was astray as to the
time when they begun their existence in
the political history of this government, us
also IN his statement that il was only after
MARTIN VAN BtEEN's election. Mr.. VAN
BuEEN, our eighth president, was inaugu-
rated in March, 1877, and it was in lS32,
just 10 years ago, that presidential nominal
tons were made Tor the first time IN
national convention, by all the parties.
The first political national convention in
the country was that held in $50 in phia-
dcpha, and it styled itself the anti.Mn-
sonic convention. 1t was composed ofucarly
one hundred delegates, but they made no
nominations and did but little business he.

Secret societies and appointing u day for
delegates to meet IN convention for
the purpose OF nominating candidates

represent their views OF hostil-

There We're then three great parties in the
field, the democratic, republican, and anti.
Masonic, then quito strong. These all met
in Baltimore, the first named in March,
| lS32, the second in December, 1881 and the
last in September, 1891. The snti.Masons
sought to compel the national republicans
to abandon Mr., CLAY and to select other
candidates, and they nominated Mr.. WRIT,
of Virginia. The republicans nominated, as
| 1t was known they would do, Mr.. CLAY.
The democrats nominated Mr.. VAN buren,
for the vicc-prcsidcncy, and confirmed
the denomination OF GENERAL JACKSON
who had been nominated two
years before by his friends in the New York
legislature. Tho election of JACKSON in
ISIS was a victory of the party opposed to
the party represented by ADAMS and CLAY,
II was just prior to this that the democrats
first assumed their name. 1t was not until
the winter of 1870 that the national rcpub.
lican party begun to DO called wings, while
their chief opponents were dcnominatcd
loco.iocos. At that time the tariff and the
national bank questions were agitatng the
country, even as they are to-day, So split ur
were the people, regardless OF sections
on those questions that national nominal.

differences. In iSS9 the wings held ma.

Made Gray by Fright.

Several days ago an item appeared in
the Courier Journal about hair being
turned gray by asudden fright, and the
other day we'll known saloon keeper
in this city met reporter and re-
marked:
II know of another instance of hair
being turned gray by fright which ID
even more remarkable than the one
mentioned in the paper. About fifteen
years ago young man named Henry
Richards, who lived ut Terre Haute
Ind, was going home one evening about
dark from visit to a friend, and Was
walking along the railroad track. Some
distance from town was very high
trestle work over creek, there being
no planks placed across for walk
ing 80 that people had to 60 over on
ties. Richards was walking along at
lively rate, and when he arrived at the
bridge he did not stop to think that a
train coming in was then due, but being
in hurry to get home he started to
walk across on the cross.ties. He had
gotten nearly half way across the bridge
when the train came slipping around u
curve at lively rate. He saw the train
at once, and started to run, but saw it
was useless, as it would certainly over
take him before he could get off the
bridge. He was now in terrible plight;
to lump off was certain death, and if he
remained on the track the train would
crush him to pieces. There was no
woodwork beneath the bridge for him
to hang on to, so he saw that his only
chance was to swing on to small iron
rod that passed under the cross ties
No time was to be lost, as the train was
nearly on the edge of the bridge. So
he swung himself under the ties, and
in a few moments was hanging on tor
dear life. The engineer had seen him
lust before he swung under the BRIDGE
and tried to stop the train, butdid more
harm than good, as he only succeeded
in checking the speed of the train, and
made it longer time in passing over
the form of Richards. AS the engine
passed over, the Goals of fire from the
ash pan dropped out, and number OF
them dropped on his hands, burning
his flesh to the bone, as he could not
shake them off, and to let go would
have been certain death.
"The trial was at length over, and
nearly dead from fright and exhaustion,
with his hands burned in terrible
manner, Richards swung himself upon
the bridge again and ran home: When
he reached there, his hair had not
turned, but in short time afterward 1t
began to get gray, and by morning was
almost perfectly white. "-Loat1suatte

as q man, she carries ON the business of
hay and cattle raising. She dresses In
mans attire, and there is nothing to de-
note her sex, save her auburn hair,
which hangs in wayy ringlets over her

as s%killfully as q yaquero, and lives alone
since her husband, u loveless~ scapegrace,
left her bed and board a year and a half
ago, taking several of her best horses.
She has no false delicacy about her at
tire, but gives as a reason for wearing
the breeches that she has to do a mans
work, and finds it more convenient to
dress like one than. to wear the usual
garb of her sex. She objects to paying
poll tax, though the assessor insists that
she must do it If she continues to dress
like a man. Winnennucca Siluer Stdte.
