Mr.. Alderman, why do you not
bring this up at meeting of the
City Council and move the Coun-
Gil that an ordinance be passed
permitting these parties to trans
fer their business to a different
place and let the people of Fitzger-

these people in carrying on their

want to know where you stand.
Why is it that you have conferences
with these near beer people and
reach agreements at places other
than in the Council Chamber

have done? If you are not aiding
this, why is it that these people
are operating their places different

CONVENTIONS
HELD In BALTIMORE
First One Was In 1S32---History
Of Conventions of Democratic
Party.

Washington, June 22.-When the
Democratic convention is opened
Tuesday in Baltimore the twenty
first such gathering will be at hand,
It's long time back in 1882, when
the first convention was held, and it,
too, in Baltimore, and momentous
have been the years which have
followed.
Ever since the first convention was
held, there have been two invioable
rules in the party, that the delegates,
when so instructed, should cast the
votes of their states as a unit, and
the other that no candidate should
be nominated without a two-thirds
majority. These rules always have
been solmnly adhered to. In the
year of the first convention Andrew
Jackson, "Old Hickory" was nomi-
mated and elected President and
Martin Van Buren, Vice-President.
Baltimore also had the second
convention, held in 1886. and that
year Van Buren, was elected Presl-
dent and Richard NJ johnson Vice
President.
The third convention also was
held in Baltimore in 1910, and again
named Van Buren, for President, bur
named no one for second plac,,
leaving that matter to the several
states. In that convention the first
complete party platform ever fornu-
lated and put forward was adopted.
AS in previous years, the conven-
ton of 1914 also was held in Baltl-
more and a fierce three-day's fight
ensued between Van Buren, and
James K. Polk, the latter finally COM
ing off victorious because of Van
Burens views regarding the annexa-
ton of Texas
Taylor and Fillmore, Wings, de-
feated the Case and Butler ticket in
1848, that convention being charac-
terized by some of the sharpest con-

Baltimore again came to the front
in 1872 when the convention of that
year was held in the Monumental
City. Horace Greeley and Gratz
Brown again saw the ticket defeated
by the regular Re publican organiza-
ton.
Tilden and Hendricks led the De-
mocracy at St. Louis in 1876 and

cess. Since that time the nominees
have been Hancock and English at
Cincinnati in 1890; Cleveland and
Hendricks at Chicago in 1884; Cleve-
land and Thurman at New York in
1883; Cleveland and Stevenson at
Chicago in 1896; Bryan and Sewell
at Chicago in 1898; Bryan and Stew
enson at Kansas City in 1900; Park
er and Davis at St. Louis in 1904,
and Bryan and Kern at Denver in
1908.

fiicts that have occurred in the
party's history, except possibly those
of 1860 and 1896
Dark horses began to be popu-
lar about 1852, when Franklin Pierce
was named to lead the Democrats
with William P. King of Alabama
as his running mate.
Up to the time of the convention
of 1855 all such gatherings had been
held in Baltimore, but in the year
named Cincinnati was the city
chosen for the meeting. Four days
were spent in the selection of can
didates, the result being that James
Buchanan was brought to the front
for first place on the ticket and John
C. Breckenridge for second place.
But perhaps the most intensely
exciting of all these meetings was
that held in Charleston in April,
1860. just before the booming of
the bige.gpns at Fort Sumter began.
Ten days were spent in the selection
of candidates and nearly sixty bal
lots were taken, with the result that
nothing was accomplished, the con-
vention splitting into two parts. one
section putting up Stephen A. Doug.
las of Illinois, and Herschel Y. John
son of Georgia, and the other Brock
inridge for President and Joseph
Lane of Oregon, for Vice-President.
Both tickets were defeated by the
Lincoln-Hamlin ticket.
Chicago had the convention Of
1861, at which time all efforts were
being made to hold the party and
keep it from being smashed to
pieces because Of the Civil War then
raging in all its fury. George B.
Mcclellan Of New jersey and George
H. Pendlet0n for first and second
place, respectively, saw what re-
manned of the party to 90 down to
defeat.
In 1868, when the convention was
held in New York, the Seymour
Blair ticket was put in the field, it
being the belief of the party leaders
that a combination of New York
and Missouri men might meet with
but this was not TO be and
the ticket met defeat at the hands
of Grant and Colfax.

MAKING Hades EASY.

Strange wishes are sometimes ex-
pressed by those at the point OF
death to ease their last moments, but
few probably have been more strange
than that of the son OF Erin to whom
Rev. DR.. Floyd w. Tompkins told a
short time ago in an afternoon
speech:
Pat O'Shaunessy had been told by
the doctor that he could live but
few hours" said DIR. Tomkins, land
his wife and assembled relatives and
friends asked him whether there was
one last wish he would like to have
gratified before he died?"
There is said Pat. I'd like to
near the village band play once
again.
Accordingly the village band gath
cred before Pats house and dis
coursed airs for several hours When
at last 1T had played, Say Au Revoir
But Not Good-by," and had taken its
own departure. Mrs. 'Shaunessy,
kneeling at her husbands bedside,
asked, Can We die aisy now, Pat?'
'Yis, replied Pat Il can die aisy
now. Hades has nothing worse than
that"

the soil.
Pretty steep" the farmer assented.
II suppose it's quite difficult to
plant your corn?"
Quite difficult" came the echo.
The visitor was interested and
would not be put off with short re-
plies.
Elbow do you manage to plant
on this hill?" he persisted
The farmer gazed at him pityingly.
1--WE have to shoot it into the
earth with shotgun, stranger" he
assured his guest, putting solemnly at
his pipe in the pauses of his reply.
The visitor gasped. Really" he
calculated. Really, now? Is that
actually true?"
The farmer sighed and turned upon
his guest a look of whitening scorn.
