THE SILVER DOLLAR.

Changes Since 1874.
The silver dollar has undergone
many changes since it was put in cir

first dollar there was stamped the head

the Washington Post The fifteen
stars which appeared on the first dol
lar were after this reduced TO the orig
inal thirteen in recognition of the
number OF states.
In 1886 the design was again changed,
and the dollar bore the figure Of wo-
man dressed in flowing garment.
The designer forgot, however. 10 put
in the thirteen stars, and the coin was
discarded, the new design having the
woman surrounded by stars. Her hair
was defiant and stiff looking, and in
1888 dollars were issued which were
more artistic in treatment
The first dollars bearing the motto "In
God We Trust" were coined in April,
1864, and in 1873 the era OF the trade
dollar began, lasting just five years.
The liberty dollar made its appearance
in 1878. Miss Anna w. Williams, a
public school teacher Of Philadelphia,

New York by q plurality of 100000,
due almost entirely to bitter faction

The very prodigality of this majority
fastened upon him the eyes Of the
party and caused Daniel Manning. one
OF the shrewdest Of the politicians
trained by Tllden, to fix upon him as
the most available candidate for the
presidential nomination.
More than two-thlrds of the delegates
voted for Cleveland on the second and
final ballot. and his nomination was
made unanimous on motion of Thomas
A. Hendricks. who was subsequently
named for vice president.

success, and after three days struggle
all three were put aside and the nomi-
nation given to Polk, who had aspired
to nothing higher than the vice presi-
dency. Silas Wright, Van Buren's
closest friend, was the conventions

but his declination to accept led to the
selection Of George NJ. Dallas Of Penn

A dark horse won in the Democratic
national convention held at Baltimore
on June 1, 1852.
On the thirty-fifth ballot fifteen votes
were cast for Franklin Pierce of New
Hampshire. Pierce up to that time
had not been publicly mentioned as a
candidate but months before it had
been planned by Caleb Gushing, Ben
jamin f. Butler and other New Eng
land politicians, in anticipation OF a
deadlock at Baltimore, to spring his
name at the critical moment and trust
to a stampede to insure his nomination.
This plan was rewarded with success.
Pierce's vote steadily increased till the
forty-ninth and last ballot, when the
convention gave him 2S2 votes, with
only six scattering.
BuCHANAN'S NOMINATION
The Democratic national convention
held in Cincinnati on June Q, 1856.
lasted four days. The nomination was
contested for by President Pierce,
Buchanan and Douglas. The part
Pierce and Douglas had taken in the
repeal Of the Missouri compromise
weighed against them, while Buchanan,
who had been out Of the country for
several years as minister to England
had kept aloof from the disputes that
were disrupting his party. Moreover,
1t was urged in his behalf that he
could carry the admittedly doubtful
state of Pennsylvania. Tie led In ev-
cry ballot to the sixteenth. when he re-
ceived lGS votes to 121 for Douglas and
six scattering. Then Douglas ended
the battle by telegraphing that as
Buchanan was clearly the choice of the
majority OF the delegates he should be
given the necessary two-thirds vote.
The unexpected happened in the
Democratic national convention which
met in New York on July 4, 1868.

Seymour and other Democratic leaders
