had 1854 votes. Hannibal Hamlin was
nominated for vice president.
The next Republican convention held in
Chicago was in 1868, when Ulysses S.
Grant was nominated for president and
Schuyler Colfax for vice president. That
convention was held in the old Chosby
opera house, on the north side of Washing
ton street, between State and Dearborn
streets
1t was not until 1880 that another Re-
publican convention was held here. A new
exposition building was erected on the lake
front for the accommodation of the con
vention, which was memorable for the
Grant and Blaine contest, in which many
of the greatest campaigners of the coun-
try took part. Jas A Garfield came to
the convention in June as the champion of
John Sherman, OF Ono, and was selected
as the only man on whom the warning
delegates could unite. Chester A. Arthur
was nominated for vice president.
Four years later Chicago was again Sc
lected as the convention city by the Re-
publicans. Jas. g. Blaine was the nominee
at that convention, which also was held
in the exposition building, and John A.
Logan was his running mate Eight years
before Blaine had been placed before the
Cincinnati convention by Robt. G. Inger-
soil, in one of the most eloquent speeches
ever delivered in political assemblage,
and had come within % votes of receiving
the nomination. He was again candidate
in 1880 but it wasfnet until 1884 that the
Republicans rallied about him and gave
him the nomination he had sought so long.

friends of John Sherman rallied around
him, but on the eighth ballot Benz. Harri-
son, of Indiana, was nominated by vote
of 544. Sherman received ll8, Russell A.
Alger 100, Walter Q. Gresham SO, Jas. G.
Blaine and VIM. Mckinley 5. Levi p.
Morton was nominated for vice president.
1t was the last Republican convention
held here. Since then Minneapolis, st.
Louis and Philadelphia have been success
sively chosen.
The Democrats came to Chicago in 1864
and nominated Gen. Geo. B. Mcclellan for
president and Geo. H. Pendelton for wee
president. That convention was held in
Crosby opera house. Mcclellan had little
opposition because his friends insisted he
had not received fair treatment at the
hands of President Lincoln. The conven-
ton was called to order August 29, and
Governor Seymour, of New York, made
permanent chairman.
Twenty years later the Democrats came
to Chicago again. This time, 1884, the ex-
position building on the lake front was
ready for them. Grover Cleveland was
nominated, with Thos. A. Hendricks for
vice president.
In 1892 the Democrats again came to
Chicago and nominated Cleveland for the
third time the two nominations which
were followed by elections being given him
in this city. The convention of that year
was held in the new wigwam near the site
of the temporary postoffice on the lake
front. 1t was there that Tammany made
it's bitter fight against Cleveland, and
Bourke Cochran made his celebrated
speech. Adlai Stevenson, of Illinois,
was nominated for vice president.
The last national convention held in the
MI 1uac that IF tho DeOoOpratc in 1S06l
when VIM. J. Bryan was nominated for
president and Arthur Sewall, the Maine
shipbuilder, for vice president. Bryan's
celebrated cross of gold and crown of
thorns speech is fresh in the memory of
the public, and his strenuous campaign
will long be remembered as the product
of that convention, which was held in the
old Coliseum at Sixty-third street, east of
Madison avenue.

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Jan. 2.-Chicago, which
has just secured the next Republican ma
tional convention, may be called the econ
vention city," for since 1860 nine national
gatherings have been held here by Repub-
lican and Democratic parties. Some of
the greatest presidents were named in
this city In nominating Lincoln, the Re-
publican party recognized the strength of
the west, and in coming back to Chicago
to give President Roosevelt his first nomi-
nation for the presidency a second tribute
is paid to 'the virile west" as the dele
gates of 1860 referred to this section.
1t was on May l6, 1860, that the first
national convention was held in this city
Chicago, then a city of 100000 inhabitants,
asked for this, the second Republican con-
vention, the first having been held in
Pittsburg in 1856. "The wigwam,' situat-
ed on the southeast corner of Lake and
Market streets, was the site of the con
vention. The city was filled with visitors,
it being estimated that 10000 strangers
came here from the west and northwest
The rumble of approaching war was in the
air. Threats of secession were heard in
every part of the south.
The name of Abraham Lincoln was on
every tongue just as that of Theodore
Roosevelt is today. But Lincoln was not
considered more than possible candidate
VIM. H. Seward, of New York, had more
delegates back of him, and his strength
was so great that on the night of May
Is Horace Greeley telegraphed the New
York Tribune that he could not be de-
feated, because the opposing factions could
not get together. However. the 10000 per
sons who filled the big building saw Abra.
ham Lincoln selected as the standard bear
er before the sun went down.
The candidates before the convention
were Lincoln, Seward VIM. L. Dayton
Simon Cameron, Salmon p. Chase, Ed
ward Bates. Jacob Collamer and John Nc
Lean. Each state was permitted to cast
double the number of votes to which il
was entitled in the electoral college. On
the first ballot Lincoln received l02 votes
and Seward 1874. the remainder being
