! Twenty-frst for
Party.

The convention which opens at Balti-
more next Tuesday will be the twenty
first national assemblage of the Demo-
cratic party, while the one now in ses-
sion In Chicago is only the fifteenth Re-
publican national gathering. But the
democratic party surpasses the Repub-
lican in age much more than this diff
ference would indicate.

christened by Jefferson, its founder, In
l1792, and strengthened in the division
among the people which Washington &
neutrality proclamation at the begin
ming Of the Anglo-French war in 179s
caused. the Democratic party passed Its
centennial mark more than a decade
ago.
But the history of the party's con.
ventions dates back only to 1882, In
which year the national delegate con-
ivention method Of nominating candi-
dates for President and Vice President
was adopted The first Democratic ma
tional convention was held on May II
1892, at Baltimore, and adopted two
rules which have guided the actions OF
all subsequent conventions. One OF
these provided that the delegates. whsr
$50 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. Andrew
jackson was nominated for President
and Martin Van Buren, for Vice Presi
dent. They were elected.
The second Democratic national con
Iyention met on May Is. 1886, also a.
Baltimore, and nominated Martin Var
Buren, for President and Richard M
johnson for Vice President. The ticke
was successful in the subsequent elec
ition.
Van Buren Named.
The third convention, held on May
1s40, at Baltimore. renomnated VA
Buren, but named no candidate for Vic
President, leaving that to the severe
states. 1t also put forward the frs
complete platform ever adopted by tn
party. Parts of this platform were ir
corporated into the deliverance of ever

the civil war, and it's leading ideas hav

Van Buren, had a majority OF the ir
structed delegates for his nomination
James X. Polk was a candidate fc
