being la!l Tor the mcst part in the

Identified with Italy. The stage on
which the international drama is set
Is a huge one. The principal cnar-
acters are the King of Hellanthus and
his immediate family--the Crown
Prince and his Princess, and the
younger brother, Prince Elm, the idol
OF the people. There is big dramatic
idea in the situation of this young
man. torn between the conflicting
emotions Of loyalty to mis- house and
affection for his people, and baought
by accident into the direct succession
to the throne at the very time when
he is secretly pupil of the arch

Convention

sembled that the New Workers had
difficulty in securing an entrance. On
the second ballot Seward had 1874
votes and Lincoln ISL. When the
third ballot was being taken perfect
silence prevailed in the huge building.
Soon votes began to gravitate to
Lincoln from all sides, and long be-
fore the tellers had time to foot up the
results every one in the Wigwam

shouted a teller finally, and at that
signal cannon on the roof doomed
the news to the waiting throngs out
side.
Politics had much to do with the
selection of Chicago as the convention
city in 1850. Now second in popula
| ton among American cities, it was
ninth in 1850. Illinois had been demo
cratic from the beginning, but the
new party came to the conclusion
| that its only chance of victory was to
carry the state. The greatest effort
had been made to effect change In
the political situation. One of its
sons was prominent aspirant for the
nomination. Even with the prevail
|
the state was regarded as exceedingly
A. Douglas was the thing that must
be overcome. To that end it was
deemed expedient to hold the conven-
ton in Chicago. AS it was, Lincoln
carried his state by only 10000.
In 1884 both of the great parties
held national conventions at Chicago.
At that time the Republicans made
their first nomination of New Eng
lander for the presidency, James G..
Blaine. Since 1860, when the Demo
Gratis held their convention at Charles
ton, s. c., with adjourned meetings at
Baltimore, when the party split, every
national gathering of the sort, ex-
cept that of 1858 in New York and
1872 in Baltimore, has been convened
in the middle west. The year 1872,
when the Republicans assembled in
Philadelphia and the Democrats In
Baltimore, was the only year after
1852 in which one or the other Of the
major parties failed to go to the mid
die west to make up national ticket,
but the element known as the liberal
Democrats met at Baltimore that year
and settled on the ticket of Greeley
and Brown, which was accepted after
ward by the regular party
The convention which will open on
Tuesday will be housed In the great
coliseum which was constructed with
reference to providing an ample meet
ing place for these national political
, gatherings which are becoming go
much matter of course for Chicago.
This huge structure is at the corner of
Wabash avenue and Fifteenth street
and occupies the site of the famous
Libby prison building during the

Tomorrow the fourteenth national
convention of the Republican party
will convene at Chicago. Previous
conventions of like character, cover
ing period of fifty-two years, and
their nominees have been as follows;

Roosevelt Of New York. Ticket won
Chicago. June 81, 1904-Theodore
Roosevelt of New York and Charles
w, Fairbanks of Indiana Ticket won
Seven Out of Fourteen.
From which it may be seen that, in
Guiding the coming one, Chicago has
been given seven out of the fourteen
Republican conventions which have
chosen candidates for president. Wher
the five democratic national conven
lions which have been held at Chicago
are added, together with the prohibl
ton national convention of 1900 ant
the socialist national conventions o
1904 and 1908, it will be seen that The
Illinois metropolis is entitled to al!
claim TO the appellation of Convention
City. The favorite presidential nomi
mating city for the Democratic part.
has been Baltimore. The first regula
national convention called by an,
great political organization in tn
United States was held in the Mary
land metropolis in 1882, and Andrey
Jackson was nominated by the Demo
cratic-Republican party, as it wa
styled at that time. His opponen
was the brilliant and politically III
fortunate Henry Clay, who was nom
mated at Washington by the caucu
scheme which had prevailed since tn
early days.
The democrats continued to nom
nate all their presidential candidate
at Baltimore until the time of Jane
Buchanan, who was chosen at Cinci1
natl in 1856 -Four years later tn
independent Democratic conventto

Republican National

which nominated Stephen A. Douglas
met at Baltimore. The last national
convention to be held at Baltimore
was the one which nominated Horace
Greeley in 1872 Grover Cleveland is
the only Democratic president ever
nominated at Chicago. He was the
standard bearer chosen by tire sue
cessive conventions held in the Windy
City and was twice successful
1t is now almost forgotten fact
that an early whig candidate, Will
liam Henry Harrison, was twice nomi-
mated at Harrisburg, Pa. The Repub-
licans have gone to Baltimore but
once, in 1854 when Lincoln was nomi-
mated for the second time. No Repub-
lican national convention has ever
been held in New York, but one demo.
cratic candidate for the presidency
has been named there. That was
! Horatio Seymour in 1868. st. Louis
has had three national conventions
one in 1876, nominating Samuel J.
Tilden; another, in 1896, naming Will
liam Mckinley, and a third, in 1904,
nominating Alton B. Parker.
The first Democratic national CON
vention in Chicago was held in 1854
and George B. Mcclellan was the
nominee. The Democrats waited
twenty years before Chicago was
chosen again as their convention city
Grover Cleveland was the nominee
and Chicago was continued as the
democratic convention city until 1900
when Kansas City was selected. OF
the Republicans CHOSEN at Chicago
Lincoln and Garfield were assassi
mated.
An Early Convention.
At the first Republican convention
at Chicago, the one which nominated
John C. Fremont, "the Pathfinder
for it's leading candidate, there was
little excitement. Four year later
however, matters had assumed new
aspect There was no lack of candi
dates. Almost every northern state
presented one, and sentiment was
divided about equally between severa
of them Seward led every one long
way on the first ballot as the favoriti
of the advanced wing of his party
They were candidates who are nov
forgotten. Vermont had one named
Collamer, New Jersey one named
Dayton and Missouri one name,
Bates. Mclean divided the Ohio vot'
with Salmon P. Chase. Simon Cam
eron was Pennsylvania favorite, AM
the delegation from the keystone
state was pledged to do its best TO
him.
The announcement of the result 0
the first ballot was revelation t
many of the delegates who had no

in certain quarters. Although Sewar'
: received 173 votes, Abraham LincolI
got 102, and Stewards friends begal
to realize for the first time that thei
favorite was in danger The ballotin
was resumed on the third day of tn
convention, and up to the time Of cor
