Democratic National Conventions.

The first Democratic National Conven-
ton met in 1882. Previous to that time
each party informally selected its most
conspicuous man as q candidate for the
Presidency, or a choice of nominee was
made by caucus of the party's members
in Congress or in the various State Legisla-
lures. In 1892 the system OF delegate con.
ventions was put in operation, and this
principle, in its leading features, has been
in vogue ever since among the prominent
political organizations. The following
table shows the dates of the National Con-
ventions of the Democratic party, the
places at which they were held. and the
candidates which they placed in the field.
The date and place of the next convention
are appended:

The Warning on the WAL,
Boston HERALD

There was one important feature in the
late special election for q member of Con-
gress in Michigan which should hardly
escape attention. That was that Mr., Sey-
mour, the Republican candidate, felt it
necessary to pledge himself in favor of q
thorough tariff revision and the repeal OF
all needless taxes before he asked the votes
of the people. The Democratic candidate
went much further than this, and il seems
no man dares to run thsre upon the tariff
plank which the Republicans insist shall
be in their national platform this year.
With all this, the changes in the vote are
remarkable. We subioin it as cast at the
latest congressional elections:

payers; but, as the law now stands in
Pennsylvania. such a woman has no
voice in the selection of the officials
who levy the taxes upon her property;

Friend Of womsn-Asd Taaeht tha
Doctrias Of Equality.
Mrs Mary S. Knaggs In the Bay
City (Mich.) Tribune, reviews the con-
dition Of women In the ancient world,
showing the general oppression which
they suffered, as well as the occasional
glimpses Of something better in the
treatment accorded them She sums
up as follows:
I'm spite Of these exceptional hon.
ors to the sex, woman when taken cap
tive in war was subjected to the most
brutal treatment. and her condition
throughout the known world was one
OF complete subjugation- And while
the interpreters Of Christ's teachings
have many times perverted them to the
continuation of that condition. under
the regime Of Christianity slowly n
broader Interpretation has boon
reached.
lin His life He showed Himself al
ways the friend Of women. The
human side of His nature came from a
woman. and wherever He dealt or
spoke with women He displayed di-
vine breadth of recognition Of equality
before God. He taught tho sanctities
and fidelity of home life. and the
mutual duty in the training of chill
dren.
He taught that the law of chastity is
equally binding upon men and women.
He first disclosed himself as the Mes
siah to the woman of Samaria. and
when bearing His heavy cross up
the mount of crucifixion - great COM
pany of women followed Him. His
religion is an exaltation Of family life,
o magnifying of the unity Of the ideal
life of man and woman; for in Christ
there is neither male nor female.
The angel song good will to mem en-
braced women. and was prophecy of
their complete liberation. Tho prin-
ciples Of justice, tenderness and truth
embodied in the life and teachings of
Christ must result finally in the full
application of the rule which compre-
hends all human rights and duties,
whatsoever ye would that men should
do unto you. do ye even so to them. y"
