The only time the city Of New York
ever entertained the national conven-
ton was in 1868. when the body met
there on the Fourth Of July and nom
mated for president HOratio Seymour,
governor Of New York, and for vice
president frank p. Blair Of Missouri
In 1872 the Democracy as then con-
stituted returned to the first love Of
the party, Baltimore, meeting in con-
vention July 0, and nominated for the
first and second offices in the land two
Republicans, Horace Greeley Of New
York and B. Gratz Brown Of Missouri.
This anomalous situation was brought
about by a prior convention OF Lib
eral Republicans" at Cincinnati, led by
Carl Schurz, which nominated Greeley
and Brown. The only hope Of defeat
. ing President Grant for reelection was
in a combination Of the Democrats and
the Liberal Republicans, who had de-
clared violently against the Grant adj
ministration. The Baltimore conven-
ton simply swallowed the Cincinnati
convention product-ticket platform
and all Greeley and Brown were de-
feated overwhelmingly in November
St. Louis was the Democratic conven-
ton city in 1876, June IS being the
opening date. Samuel ]. Tilden Of New
York and Thomas A. Hendricks Of
Indiana were named for president and
vice president. Tilden, who was gov
ernor Of New York, was a master poll
tician and had planned his campaign
with marvellous ability. Governor Hen
bricks Of Indiana was his chief oppo-
nent. Hendricks accepted the second
place on the ticket with some reluc-
lance. Illden was elected IN Novem-
Der, according to the best knowledge
and belief Of all Democrats and many
Republicans, but a special commission
created to decide electoral contests
voted his opponent Rutherford B.
Hayes Of Ohio, into the presidential
chair The electoral commission was
made up of eight Republicans and
seven Democrats. The final vote on
the matters in contest was eight Re
publlcans for Hayes and seven Demo
Gratis for Tilden.
In 1880 the Democrats met June %
in Cincinnati Tilden declined a re-
nomination. General Winfield S. Han

nessee for president and Silas Wright
Of New York for vice president, but
Wright refused to accept the nomina-
tion. George NJ. Dallas Of Pennsylva-
MIA was placed on the ticket in his
stead Wright's refusal was because
Of pique at the defeat of Van Buren,
who tried to break down the two
thirds rule and secure a denomination
for himself. Polk was the first dark
horse" nominee in our history. He had
not been mentioned for the presidential
nomination prior to the convention.
Lewis Cass Of Michigan was nomi-
mated for president at the 1S4S conven-
ton, with William o. Butler Of Ken
lucky as the vice presidential candi-
date. The convention met May 2.
The convention of 1852, which open
cd June /, was battle royal, and in
the end another dark horse. Franklin
Pierce Of New Hampshire, was named
for president. The fight was between
Cass, nominated and defeated four
years before, and James Buchanan of
Pennsylvania. Finally Pierce was
voted for on the thirty-ffth ballot BY
the Virginia delegation, which persist
ed in voting for the New Englander
until on the forty-ninth ballot nearly
all the other delegates swung over and
nominated him. William r. King of
Alabama was named on the second
ballot for vice president.
IN 1856 the Democracy finally broke
away from Baltimore and met in Gin
einnati on June 2. During all Of Presi
dent Pierce's administration James
Buchanan had been absent from the
country as minister to England and
thus had escaped the fierce conflict on
the slavery problem and the incidental
Rnarchy in Kansas. Buchanan, Doug
las and Cass were candidates before

Indiana for vice president.
Grover Cleveland Of New York, the
first Democrat elected president since
1856 and thus far the only one, was
the presidential nominee Of the three
conventions Of 1884 in Chicago, 1888 IN
St. Louis aud 1892 in Chicago. His
running mate in 1884 was Thomas A.
Hendricks, In 1898 Allen G. Thurman
of Ohio and in 1892 Adlai E. Steven
son Of Illinois.
When the convention Of 1896 met in
Chicago the leading candidate was
Richard r Bland Of Missouri, but VIII

thirty-six years old, delivered in the
convention his famous "cross Of gold"
speech. and in the ensuing whlrlwind

Kansas City in 1900, with former Vice

1904, Of which Congressman Champ
Clark OF Missouri was permanent
chairman, Judge Alton B. Parker of
New York was nominated for presI
Gent. with former Senator Henry g
Davis Of West Virginia as running
mate.

no other name was considered for the
presidency. A resolution indorsing
Jackson In about a hundred words was
the only platform adopted. Martin
Van Buren Of New York, Jackson's
own selection. was named for the vice
presidency.
Prior to 1892 presidential candidates
were nominated by mass meetings,
caucuses, legislative resolutions and in
other ways not national in character.
In the Baltimore convention all the
states except Missouri were represent
ed by delegates. Since 1882 the Dem
ocrats have held quadrennial conven-
tions, and eight Of them, including the
frst, have met at Baltimore.
At President Jackson's instance the
convention which named candidates
for the election Of 1886 met May 20,
1895, nearly eighteen months prior to
election day. thus giving Martin Van
Buren and Richard NJ Johnson, the
nominees. the longest campaign In the
history Of America. This convention
adopted no platform. Andrew Jack.

whole power OF Jackson's administra-

badly defeated IN the election by VIII

was elected vice president by the Unit

1840 adopted a platform, the first ever
adopted by any national convention.
It declared that the federal govern

should be strictly construed by all the
departments.

vote, but his attitude in having favored
the repeal of the Missouri compromise
rendered him a weaker candidate than

ceived the nomination. with John G.
Breckenridge Of Kentucky as the vice
presidential candidate. The platform
