It should not be inferred. however.
that that was the beginning of the
Republican party. The leinage OF 1t
may be easily traced back to the be-
ginning Of the republic. The Con-
servatives in the continental congress
were the founders of the principles
which even today nnd more or less ex-
preston in Republican platforms.
Later the Conservatives were known
IS Federalists and rallied around the
leadership of Alexander Hamilton at
the same time that the Anti-Federal-
lists 1ocked to the leadership of
Thomas Jefferson. Inasmuch as Presi-
dent Washington recognized the Fed
eralists by making Hamilton his
secretary of the treasury tthen the
most important cabinet office), Re-
publicans claim that he was their first
president And II Washington was
the first Republican president, Adams
must be adjudged the second. for he
was the recognized candidate OF the
Federalists.
In those early days nominations for
the presidency were made in congress
sional caucuses. Thus. the congress-
presidential election nominated the
presidential candidates, separating
into party caucuses for that purpose.

The Wings or Federalists held a ma
tional convention in 1899 in Philadel-
phia and nominated William Henry
Harrison and John Tyler. This was
the first convention OF the party based
on the system that now obtains. The
Federal party was now wholly known
as the Whig party. The next Whig
convention met in Baltimore and
nominated Henry Clay and Theodore
Frelinghuysen. Each party adopted a
platform, the Wings declaring for
well-regulated currency and tarin
for revenue, with incidental protec-
tion. This was the first year OF ma
tional platforms.

The plans for the alteration of the
Export Exposition auditorium for the
purposes OF the Republican national
convention at Philadelphia. June 10,
provide In a most liberal way for del
egates, alternates and visitors. Just
4.9sS seats have been arranged. This
will be the largest number of seats
ever provided at a national conven-
ton.
On the main floor of the han arc the
seats for the delegates. and Immediate
ly behind them come the alternates.
Each one is allowed a floor space OF
one foot and ten inches by two feet
and six inches, which is more room
than delegates ever enjoyed before.
Then, going toward the stage. comes
the space reserved for the press. This
is on vast platform raised four feet
above the level Of the main door. There
will be seats for 500 reporters. Each
reporter will have a floor space of two
feet four and one-half inches by four
feet one and one-half inches. and this.
like the delegates room. Is more than
any other convention has allowed.
Leading back from the press section
will be wide aisles. going under the
stage to the telegraph and telephone
rooms at the rear of the building Out
there will be scores of operators, click
ing out tbs news to a waiting nation.
and between the press section and the
telegraphers there will be a steady
stream of hustling messenger boys
rushing with copy" The press space
will be for working newspaper men
only. The Philadelphia papers will
have large stan and the big New
York and Chicago dailies have three
men in the hall all the time and a
fresh relay always waiting to take the
places OF those who get tagged out.
Next beyond the reporters comes the
stage. This is raised four feet from
the press stand. which brings 1t eight
feet above the main floor of the hall.
This will be given over to the nation
al committee and distinguished guests
from all over the country: back CT this
again are special guest seats.
So much for the main hall. Now
we'll go back to the main entrance
which is at the opposite end Of the
building from the stage. Between the
doors and the auditorium is a spa
cious lobby. where hundreds may clus-
ter and chat without disturbing pro-
ceedings within. Connected with this
are ample rooms and places where the

HISTORY OF VEGETABLES.

Garden Products Developed by Guilt
vating wild Species
1t is difficult to imagine that 300
years ago boiled potato or a dish of
mashed turnips was not to be had in
Europe for love or money. In those
days people lived chiefly on bread and
meat and beer, and the bread and
meat were. as rule, of such quality
as would have caused riot in the
workhouse of today. Beans they did
have-at least, the upper classes had
them. Henry VIII. was very fond of
beans, and had Dutch gardener over,
who found English soil would grow
broad beans every bit as well as Dutch.
They rather sneered at peas In the
year 1900. Such as were eaten were
imported from Holland. Fit dainties
for ladies; they came SO far, and cost
SO dear" says one writer. But Moth
er-Country peas were highly cultivated
from very early times. Last year. in
the Isle of Butte, a splendid crop OF
peas was raised from seed, which was
at least 2.00O.and probably nearly 5000
years old. This seed came from an
Egyptian tomb. The flowers had O
beautiful red center. surrounded by
white petals, and the peas were well
up to the modern market garden stan

from them in 1910, and in 1900 we still

bage seed. And the extraordinary
part Of 1t is that cabbage Is in reality
a native of Great Britain. All oul
garden vegetables are merely typei
improved by long cultivation Of wild
| apecies.-Cincinnati ENQUIRER.

pointed out by local conventions and
even by local legislatures. In 1882 tho

tion, though national convention
was finally held. II was convened Il
Baltimore. and nominated Martin Van
Buren, for president. but as several OF
tho states had Indicated their choice
respectively for candidate for vice
president. the convention made no
nomination for that once. It adop.-
ed no platform. The wings held no
national convention. but at q conven-

ed the following resolutions: That

The Democrats also held meeting
in New York. at which they adopted a
series OF resolutions which stood
through the campaign as kind of
platform. The first resolution recited
tho declaration Of Independence. and
the succeeding ones declared against
bank notes and paper currency as
circulating medium. because gold
and silver is the only safe and consti-

all monopoiies: hostility to the dan

Of vested rights or prerogatives OF leg

undeniably true. and which lent

exclaimed the girl. Then everybody
laughed. and the victim acknowledged
that the joke was on him.
