of New York for vice president, but
Wright refused to accept the nomina-
ton. George NJ. Dallas Of Pennsylva-
mia was plSced on the ticket In his
stead. Wright's refusal was because

not been mentioned for the presidential
nomination prior to the convention.

Grover Cleveland of New York, the
frst 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 and 1892 In Chicago. His
running mate in 1884 was Thomas A.
Hendricks. in 1888 Allen g. Thurman
of Ohio and in 1892 Adlai E. Steven
son of Illinois.

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

was renominated by reclamation at
Kansas City In 1900, with former Vice
President Stevenson In second place.
At the convention In St louis In
1904, of which Congressman Champ
Clark of Missouri was permanent
chairman, Judge Alton B. Parker Of
New York was nominated for presi-

the convention. Pierce sought a re-
nomination and received a substantial
vote, but his attitude in having favored
the repeal of the Missouri compromise
rendered him weaker candidate than
Buchanan, whose absence had been
his political salvation. Buchanan re-
ceived the nomination, with John G.
Breckenridge of Kentucky as the vice
presidential candidate. The platform
adopted at this convention approved
the course of the Pierce administration
in repeating the Missouri compromise

Cornell Widow.
Sheer nonsense rhymes n jokes
without apparent reason o. object are
frequently used to fill the pages OF the
Cornell Widow. If anything more foot
less than the Man Of Giegledorf'
verse has ever been written. the Wild
ow wishes to state that her bump OF
credulity was imported from Missouri
and must be shown:
There was a man from GieGledorf
Who, TO save his BARRIERS fees.
Would wet his hair and let II freeze,
And when twas frozen break 1t on.
The Widow claims the credit Of orig
mating the nonsense rhymes which
dealt with the Cleverness and precocity
OF the bright little lad who carelessly
slaughtered his mother. father and i'm
mediate relatives. These poems, If sc
they may bc called, appeared in the

The same year they were collected and
published in pamphlet form under the
name Of The Johnny Book" Johnny
