In the convention of 1852, held in Bal timore, there occurred another of those strange and sudden movements by which the contest between prominent and fav- ored candidates causes them all to be dis carded and the position to be given to some heretofore unknown quantity. To use an old and much used if not abused fgure, when the tournament opened four renowned knights entered the lists. They were Lewis Cass of Michigan, the de feated candidate of 1Sis: James Buchan- an of Pennsylvania, Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and William L. Marcy of New York. After many exciting tilts, Frank lin Pierce of New Hampshire, a knight who had remained in the shadow with visor down, dashed in, unhorsed his oppo- uents and won the prize.
 IL took seventeen ballots to nominate James Buchanan of Pennsylvania in the Cincinnati convention of 1856. From the first he WAS the leading candidate, but could not control two-thirds of the votes. On the sixteenth ballot the contest had narrowed down to Buchanan and Doug las. On the next ballot delegation after delegation changed its vote until the en- tire number, 2e6. were east for Buchanan. Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois, who had twice been 6 presidential candidate, at last succeeded in winning the nomination h 1860. But the shadow of secession was over the land, and the party, like the country, was suffering. The convention assembled in Charleston April 23, 1880, and continued until May g.

BLAZE IN ASPHALT PLANT
Old Barber Building Damaged Just as

Ford, Mclaughlin PaV.Hs company, at
Fifth and Jones streets about $3.50 o'clock
Monday evening badly damaged the tank
and mixing rooms and temporarily put the
plant out Of commission. No estimate Of
the damage sustained could be made by
Cashier Whittemore of the firm last night,
as the burning asphalt continued to smoke
long after the fire companies left the place.
However, Il is thought that several humid
red dollars will be needed to put the plant
in condition, and the damage may exceed
those figures, as it is not known how
much machinery was damaged.
The blaze started In the tank room by the
giving away at the back OF one OF the
tanks and the flames from the furnace
under the tank soon spread over the as
phalt 10 the surrounding floor and tanks.

Railway Crossing Plans Completed.

Plans for the grade crossings over the
tracks of the Burlington railroad for the
proposed extension OF the street car line to
the Iowa School for the Deaf were yester-
day forwarded by the Omaha & Council
Bluffs Street Railway company to the Off
Gals Of the railroad company at st. Joseph.
II thse plans meet with the approval of the
railroad company, the last remaining
obstacle to the early completion Of the ex-
tension to the Iowa School for the Deaf
will be removed, It is said by the local rep
resentatives Of the street railway company.
At the recent conferences in st. Joseph
between Attorney Emmett FINLEY of this
city and Secretary r. A. Leusller, repre-
senting the street railway company, ard
Robert Rice, division superintendent of the
Burlington road, II was suggested that plans
of the proposed grade crossings with the
derailing device be submitted to the rail-
road company for it's consideration. These
plans were completed Saturday and were
forwarded to St. Joseph yesterday morning.
The derailing device favored by the street
railway company prevents a car from cross
ing an intersecting track until the conduc-
tor has first gone across and thrown a
switch. This, It is held by the officials OF
the street railway company, would make
the. crossing of the Burlington tracks at
grade perfectly safe and obviate the neces-
sity Of an overhead crossing. as contended
for by the railroad officials.
