HISTORY OF THE PARTY
Record Of the Conventions and Nomi
nees From Fremont to Date

WASHINGTON. d. c., June 20.-The
republican convention at Chicago this
week is the thirteenth national con-
leaders are not inclined to be supersti-
tious because of the unlucky number.
The republican party held it's first
convention in 1856. 1t met first at
Pittsburg. but adjourned to Philadel-
phia on June II. where Fremont and
Dayton were chosen on the first ballot.
The republican convention Of 1860 met
at Chicago. and on the third ballot
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 M. Clay, who died only
last year at his home In Kentucky. In
1864 the republicans met at Baltimore
and nominated Lincoln and johnson.
Lincoln received all the votes in the
which voted for General Grant
The republican national conven-
lions since the war have all been held
In the middle west, except the conven-
tion Of 1872. which met In Philadelphia
and renominated President Grant and
the convention four years ago which
met In the same city and renomfnated
Mckinley for president and named
Theodore Roosevelt for vice president.
Hayes was nominated at Cincinnati
In June. 1876. on the seventh ballot,
over Blaine. the leading candidate. and
a field of 'favorite sons" comprising
Conkling OF New York. Hartranft of
Pennsylvania. Jewell Of Connecticut,
John Sherman Of Ohio. Benjamin H.
Rristow Of Kentucky and Ex-Governor

The republican convention i'm 1880
met I'm Chicago and was the most in
teresting one that ever assembled in
the country. The contest for the nomi-
nation between Grant and Blaine with
John Sherman formidable third In the
race. was a most bitter one. General
Garfield was nominated on the thirty
fifth ballot.
Blaine and Logan were nominated al

JAPAN'S FIGHTING ADMIRAL.
Popular Naval Hero who Won Fame
in the War with China Now
in Command.

The Japanese have reason to be proud
Of Vice Admiral Togo, who has just
succeeded Admiral Tsubol in command
of the standing squadron, the force
which would probably be engaged first
in case of war. He is g young officer, as
flag officers 60, in the prime of life, and
he Of all available admirals knows what
aaval wal under modern conditions
means, says the london Telegraph.
In 1894, when the Japanese wiped
out" the Chinese fleet, Admiral Togo
he was only a captain then-struck the
first blow. He was in command of the
~second-class cruiser Naniwa, not an ar
mored vessel, in the usual sense Of the
term, but a good British-built ship OF
$3.50 tons, with a protective deck from
two inches to three inches thick and
armored coming towers. For her size
she was very heavily armed, carrying
two 10.2-inch guns, six 5.9-inch and a
couple of 9-pounders and ten maxims fol
rspelling torpedo craft. This little ship
saw more fighting than any other YES
sci in the Japanese navy, and Capt.
Togo won for himself then his title THE
fighting admiral" He is one of the
popular heroes of Japan.
The British steamer Kowshing and
two Others had been loaded up with SOL
diers and stores by the Chinese and had
started for Corea. On July 20, when in
sight of the islands of the Corean archi-
pelago, a Japanese man-o-war-the
Naniwa-came in sight of the Kowshing
and fired blank shots as a signal to hel
to stop. The order vas obeyed and then
Capt. Togo signaled: Remain where
you are or take the consequences"
The Kowshing was subsequently d.
rected to follow the ~man-o'-war, but the
terrified Chinese would not let the Brit
ish skipper carry out the order and
threatened to murder him. Capt. Togo
is what would be styled IAN arbitrary
gent" and when he was disobeyed he
warned Europeans to leave the ship and
then promptly discharged a torpedo and
opened fire with the five guns which
could be brought to bear.
The torpedo hit this vessel, and In the
words of Herr Won Hannsken. a Prus-
sian officer in the Chinese service, who
was on board, the day became night;
pieces of coal, splinters and water filled
the air; then | believe all, of us leapec
