TWO THIRDS RULE AN OLD ONE
1T HAS BEEN IN FORCE N THE
PARTY FOR 30 YEARS.

Its AbrOEatIoB at Chicago would
Give OId-Time Democrats an En-
cuse for Questioning the Nominal
lions Made by such MeHns-His-
tory Of the Adoption of the Rule
and Its Uninterrupted sway since.
Washington. June 30.-In view OF the
action Of the Illinois delegation to the
Chicago convention In voting to-day, at
Gov. Altgeld's bidding, to advocate the
abrogation OF Fthe two-thirds rule, It is
interesting to review briefly the history
OF that famous rule since II was first
adopted sixty years ago in the first dem
ocrauc national convention, which met
10 nominate a Vice President. Martin Van
Buren,, President Andrew Jackson's re-
nomination already having been made by
the voice of the people. The text Of the
rule as proposed by the committee on
rules and adopted in that Baltimore con-
vention Of 1892 was as follows: Resolved,
That each state be entitled in the nomi-
nation to be made OF a candidate for the
vice presidency to a number of votes
equal to the number which they will be
entitled to in the electoral college, under
the new apportionment. in voting for
President and Vice President; and that
two-thirds of the whole number Of the
votes in the convention shall be necessary
to constitute a choice
In 1896, when the committee on rules
reported to the convention, the two-thirds
rule, a motion was made to amend it by
changing it so as to make a simple ma
jority only necessary, and this was car
Rad Rut on the uext dav a. was recon-
sidered, and the two-thirds rule adopted.
In 1870 when Martin Van Buren, was
unanimously nominated for President, the
convention leaving the nomination for
Vice President to the choice OF the states,
no rules whatever were adopted for the
organization Of the convention.
In 1874, after long discussion, the con-
vention adopted the two-thirds rule by
a vote OF 1874 TO us.
In 1S4s, after discussion, the two-thirds
rule was adopted by vote of 176 to Is.
In 1852, after discussion, the two-thirds
rule was adopted midst vehement APP
plause."
In the convention of 1856 and in each
subsequent convention, including even the
stormy gathering of 1860. the two-thirds
rule was adopted as part OF the rules
OF procedure as a matter OF course, the
opposition to II which had appeared In the
earlier conventions, and which only serV-
ed to imbed II more firmly in the practice
of the party than any other rule, having
apparently disappeared For sixty years
II has been the distinctive rule of DEM
ocratic national conventions, and though
at first disputed by different interests 1t
has, for over forty years been the un-
disputed regulation of procedure in demo-
cratic national conventions, so that with
out 1t national convention would not
seem democratic, and its abrogation
would give old-time democrats a reason for
Questioning the nominations made by
such means.

Miss Wood was well thought of by her
neighbors, and the entire community re-
grets her horrible and untimely death.
