Butler of Kentucky.

The convention of 1913 was again held
in Baltimore May %, when dissentions
had arisen in the party. The /" Barn.
burners and "Hunkers represented
the New York factions, and both sets
of delegates were seated, the vote being
equally divided between them. Cass
was nominated for the presidency on
the fourth ballot, and for the vice-pres-
ldency Gen. William o. Butler, of
Kentucky, was named. The 1914 plat
form was readopted, substantially. A
coalition between the " Barnburners
and the " Free Sellers resulted in the
defeat of the ticket and the election of
Tyler.
The next convention, held in Balti-
more, June /, 1852, on the forty-ninth
ballot, nominated Franklin Pierce, of
New Hampshire, for president and w.
r. King, of Alabama, for vice-presi-
dent. The platform was similar to
that of 1S48, with the addition of the
I" "finality plank, with an approval of
the Kentucky and Virginia resolutions.
The war with Mexico was endorsed.
Pierce was elected over Taylor, 254 to AZ,
Breckenridge for Vice-President.
In the convention of 1855, held June
2, Pierce was again candidate, being
supported by southern delegates. The
northern delegates supported James
Buchanan, of Pennsylvania, who was
nominated on the seventeenth ballot.
John g. Breckinridge was nominated
for vice-president. The American par
ty nominated ex-President Fillmore,
and the new republican party nomi-
mated John &. Fremont. Buchanan
received majority over both Fremont
and Fillmore.
The year 1860 was disastrous to the
democratic party, fnasmuch as it had
become impossible to hold all factions
of the darty to the platform. Thus the
convention, which met at Charleston,
S G., April %, adopted resolutions rep
rescniing the middle ground as to sIa-
very, rather than the southern view,
and this led 10 the withdrawal from
the convention of the delegations from
Alabama, Mississippi, Florida and Tex
as, as well rs many delegates from
Georgia, Louisian, South Carolina,
North Carolina, Arkansas, Delaware.

In Democracy's Dark Days.

The effect of the war was such as to
remove the democratic party for the
timebeing from its position as factor
in national politics. Even in 1858 the
southern states were in such relation to
the government that their electoral
votes were lost entirely. Not until 1876
did the democratic party rise to an in
huential position with Samuel ]. Til
den as the candidate for president, but
losing to Hayes in the electoral college.
Baltimore dropped out as democrat
ic convention city after 1860, until the
present year, when the democratic ma
tional committee decided to return to
the city of the party's birth by calling
the convention to assemble in that city

The PENSION SCANDAL.
Rotten System to Begin With Crews
Constantly Worse.


The truth Is that the pension busi-
ness has not only debased our public
morals and political standards, but 1t
has weakened the stamina and self
respect Of the people who have profited
by 1t. Such results always follow the
begging of favors or charity from 9TH
ers. In China today we have an ex-
ample of this in the decadence OF the
Manchu race. Originally the most
vigorous Of fighters, they have been for
generations pensioned and coddled by
the victorious Manchu dynasty until
they have lost their former habits of
industry and aggressiveness, and are
therefore unable-in spite Of having
the governmental machinery In their
hands-to keep even a semblance of
the power their harder ancestors won.
In the December Worlds Work, Mr..
Charles Francis Adams, one OF the
most distinguished living Union SOL
diers, makes a powerful arraignment
,of the wholesale graft that the pension
business has become, and points out
that the pension appropriations have
increased almost in the same propor-
tion as the number Of veterans has de-
creased. In the article mentioned he
says:
In the year 1866, that Immediately
following the civil war, the national
appropriation for the payment OF PEN
sions, though supposedly covering un-
der existing legislation, cases Of wounds
and disability therein incurred. amount
ed to a little in excess Of $15,O0O.O00
annually. Forty-four years later, In
1910, the exact amount reported as
expended under that head lacked less
than $4,000 of s16O,0OO,O0O. In other
words, fifty years after the close Of
the civil war, the pension payments
because of that war, having increased
in volume ten-fold, were still on the
ascending grade"
Further proof of the reckless lengths
to which our pension extravaganza
has carried us is found in the statistics
showing that our pension bill Is five
times greater than that of Great Brit
ain with possessions all over the
world, and, greater, in fact, than the
combined pension rolls Of England,
Germany, France, Austria and Hun
gary. The exact statistics follow:
