With frontage Of over l70C feet on the
River, half way between the great Bridges which
join New York and Brooklyn, the Arbuckles'
establishment is one Of the show sights of New
York. In millions Of homes in every section Of
this country Arbuckles' ARlOSA Coffee is the
only coffee used, almost the only drink except
water; consequently the name Of "Arbuckle :"
has been most familiar to the people during the
last 81 years, there being no other trade-marked
article so widely distributed or in such universal
demand From a small beginning the sales have
grown to exceed the combined sales Of every
other packaged coffee in the United States =
and Jwhya Because Arbuckles have given the
people the greatest coffee value for their money
all Of the time, and have sold their ARIOSA
Coffee in sealed packages for the consumers

they paid for, both in quality and in weight.
The sales Of ARIOSA demonstrate the
common sense and appreciation Of the American
people, and ARIOSA has contributed to their
development and prosperity by giving them their
moneys worth Of coffee that increased their
power and ambition to work and placed them
foremost among the worlds greatest nations.
This is the same old ARlOSA and the same
old firm that introduced it 81 years ago.

War Clouds Were Lowering.
The political situation of the country
at that time was extremely compli-
Gated. The shadow Of the coming war
was ominously deepening. The Kan
sas-Nebraska contest had revived the
agitation Of the slavery Question, which
the wings had deceived themselves into
supposing had been settled by the COM
promise measures Of 1850. Kansas was
bordering on civil war over the con-
tention of the pro-slavery and anti
slavery factions within and without
the territory. The democrats had re-
Franklin Pierce In 1852, and the old
WING party was expiring. The Ameri-
can, the "know-nothing' party, was
also approaching state of extremis.
In several parts Of the north new
political party, the republican, had
come into being and was composed
largely of wings, but with liberal
contingent from the democratic party.

presidential ticket. the time for
which seemed to be propitious.
The American party and the demo
cratic party had each nominated candi-'
dates for the presidency before the re-
publican national convention met. The
former selected for standard bearers
Willard Fillmore and Andrew J. Donel-
son, and the latter selected James Blu
chanan and John G. Breckenridge. This
was the situation Of the country and
of politics when the republican con-
vention convened in Musical Fund hall
in Philadelphia.
The Convention Of 1856.
Every free state and Delaware, Ken
lucky and Maryland sent delegates.
These numbered sos, and among them
were Thurlow Weed, Horace Greeley,
Lieutenant Governor Raymond of New
York, General Webb, Speaker Banks
and Israel Washburn Of Maine. The
convention has been aptly described as
ono of the most spontaneous ever
known in our political history Those
who are charmed with red tape and
imperishable rules and regulations
would have been alarmed at the free

gates were chosen.

ment that there was not the slightest
sign Of friction during the three days
of the convention except for the con-
test of seats by two sets of delegates
from the first four, districts of Penn
sylvania. Even this was minor mat
ter, and the convention, upon the rec
ommendation of the committee on Gre
dentials, settled it very simply by de-
claring that the delegates first chosen
were entitled to seats.
The convention was called to- order
by E. D. Morgan of New York, who
nominated Robert Emmett Of the same
state, as temporary chairman. Colonel
Henry S. Lane of Indiana was elected
permanent chairman. The arrival Of
the Kansas delegation in the hall was
the signal for enthusiastic applause.
Fremont Named Unanimously.
The principal work of the second
days sessions was the adoption of. a
platform of princi Piles presented by
David Wilmot, chairman Of the COM
mittee on resolutions. There was a
demand in some parts of the. hall to
proceed with the nominations. Finally
a ballot was taken, and it was found
that out of the votes cast for presiden-
tial nominees, John G. Fremont of Cal
ifornia received $50; John Mclean Of
ONO, lSO; CnarleS sumner OF MaSSa-
chusetts, 3, and William H. Seward Of
