The golden jubilee celebration will be an
epoch In the history of republeanism and
the reason why 1t is celebrated is told by
National League officers, as follows:
THE first national convention of the re-
publican party was held In Musical Fund
Hall, Philadelphia. June IT. Is and 10, 1856.
IT was the national beginning of that ire
mendous movement destined to revolutonize
the politics of the country. Men are living
who attended its stirring sessions, and hun
dreds of those who voted for the candidates
then selected are prepared to join in the
Golden Jubilee Celebration
"AlI the forces then contending for free
dom and progress united upon John C. FIRE.
mont of California and William L. Dayton
of New Jersey candidates for President
and Vice President respectively. The name
of Abraham Lincoln was modestly proposed
as candidate for Vice President, and he
was bailoted for.
1T was the amaIgamation OF forces
against the slaye-owning power. which SUBJ
sequentiy followed Lincoln in the grim
struggle for liberty and union The conven-
ton foretold the bloody years Of 81 to "a.
wherein the chivaIry of nation was dedi-
Gated to the happiness Of its people: and
opened the way for their marvellous progress
in the commercial and Industrial activities
of the world.
