NATIONAL CONVENTIONS
Republicans Ha We Held Thirteen
Since Orsaniz alton.


The republican party held its first
convention in 1856. 1t met first at
Pittsburg, bat adjourned to Philadel.
phia June II. where Fremont and
Datyon were chosen on tine first ballot.
TIE republican convention o. 1860
met st Chicago, and on the third bal
lot nominated Lincoln over Seward,
his chief competitor, and Cameron,
Chase and Bates, the favorite sons
of their respective states. Hannibal
Hamlin of Maine was named for vice
president, over Cassius NJ. Clay. who
diei only last year at his home in
Kentucky. In 1864 the republicans
met at Baltimore and nominated Lin
coin ana johnson. Liccoln received
all the votes in the convention except
that of Missouri, which voted for Gen.
eral Grant.
The convention Of 1872 met in Phil
adelphia and renominated President
Grant, and the convention four years
ago met in the same city and renom
mated Mckinley for president and
named Theodore Roosevelt for vice
president.
Hayes was nominated at Cincinnati
in June 1876, on the seventh ballot,
over Blaine, Conkling of New York,
Hartranft of Pennsylvania, Jewell of
Connecticut, John Sherman of Ohio,
Benjamin II. Bristow of Kentucky
and Ex-Governor Morton of Indiana.
The republican convention in 1886
met In Chicago and was the most in.
teresting one that ever assembled in
the country. The contest for the nom
inatioD between Grant and Blaine,
with John Sherman formidable third
in the race, was most bitter one.
General Garfield was nominated on
the 35th ballot.
Blaine and Logan were nominated
at Chicago in the Republican conven-
tion which met June 3, 1884 Harr' =
SOD was nominated at Chicago in 1898
and renominated at Minneapolis in
1892. The convention which named
William Mckinley for the first time
met in St. Louis in 1896 and the CON
vention which renominated him was
held at Philedalphia four years later
The convention system of nomina-
ting candidates seems to have origi-
mated in Pennsylvania, where it was
used as early as 1888 in selecting
state officers. and later in the choice
of candidate for congress. Portland

For the second time the celebrated
Diamond SOULS of the Henley regatta
are to be brought across the Atlantic.
The victory Of Scholes of Toronto over
the fastest Of English champions. this
week. after having<to row four races
i'm four successive days, was notable
one. The only other time that the Ia
nous trophy has been captured by
oarsmen from this side Of the Atlantic
was in 1897, when Edward Fl. Ten Eyck
Of Worcester, Mass went to England
and swept everything before him. The
next year Ten Eyck sent in his entry,
but it was refused by the stewards
of the course, simply because they
knew that the trophy would remain in
America were he allowed to row again.
Nothing short of their repeated fall
ures to lift the Americas cup hurts
the feelings of the English sporting
people more than the victory of Ameri-
can oarsmen at the Henley regatta.
though it may be a little balm for
their wounded feelings in this instance
that the victor halls from Canada
rather than from the United States.

A Hundred Years From Now.

A hundred years from now, dear heart'
We will not care at all;
1t will not matter then a whit
The money or the gall.
The summer days that We have known
Will all forgotten be and flown,
The garden will be Overgrown
Where now the roses fall.
A hundred years from now, fond heart,
Wen neither know nor care,
What came of all life's bitterness.
Or followed loves despair.
When all these years have flown, sweet
heart,
The grief will all be DER;
The sea of care will surge in vain
Upon the careless shore.
A hundred years from now. sweetheart,
We will not mind the pain;
The throbbing crimson tide of life
viii not have left a stain,
This song We sing together, dear,
Will mean no more than means tear:
Let's build one castle more in Spain,
And one more dream dream here.

= The death of DIR. Theodore HenZl
the founder and leader Of the Zionist
movement, is likely to end the present
plans of the Jewish people for build
ing up a nation in Palestine with
as it's capital. There is no
body else who was so confident Of sue
cess as he was. In this country, at
least, the leading Hebrews feel that
the real land Of promise for their
prosecuted brethren is in the United
States where so many of the race are
nos prosperous and contented citizens.
with all their rights respected and
with all the doors of opportunity open
wide to them. Such a Jewish nation
as has been proposed in the far East.
where all the Jews of the world should
gather, may be n pleasing dream to
some, but it is a most impractical
scheme, and it would take many able
men like DIR. Henzl, and many gener-
atoms of such men. to make it Il
reality.

The Future Of Old Home Week.

There is small prospect indeed that
there will be any observance Of Old
Home Week in the State Of Maine, dur
ing the present summer, although the
second week in August has been set
apart by the Legislature to be known
as Old Home Week, and annually OBJ
served as such. 1t seems probable that
the custom inaugurated few years
ago'will henceforth be honored more in
the breach than in observance. At first
thought this seems pity, and proba-
regret that such is the case; yet Old
Home Week has served a noble pur-
pose and the spirit of the institution
will by no means die out with the
failure to observe the week with formal
celebrations.
AS inaugurated i'm New Hampshire,
and copied in Maine and other neigh
boring states, the Old Home Week idea
was 4 splendid one and it's observance
during the past few years has been Of
direct and substantial benefit to all
sections of New England, as well as to
those absent sons and daughters who
have come back to renew old associa-
tions and revisit the scenes of child
hood. 1t has given a, great stimulus
to the annual return of former resi-
dents to their native places, and this
custom will neither die out nor suffer
greatly through the failure to indulge
in any formal celebrations, this year.
1t is probable that few of the places
in the State, some of the smaller ones,
and possibly some of the larger towns,
will observe the week, but no attempt
will be made by any State organization
to have an official Old Home Week
celebration, nor will Portland recog-
nize the event by elaborate ceremonies
as it has loyalty done in the past few
Years.
Possibly when another year comes
along the Old Home Week movement
will be taken up with renewed zeal, bur
whatever may be done in the future, 1t
is certain that the custom falls into dis
use for the present summer. Neverthe-
less. the latchstring of the Pine Tree
State is out the summer long for all its
children and former residents, and
whether they come during the second
they will receive such welcome as
only the Old Home can give.

And look as If you liked it

We all are Sammies now and then

We're sure to do or say some things to

And al the time we're doing it or saying

Don't blush and twist and wriggle when
you see the smile that mocks,
But act as If you liked it
You are in the Sammy box.
