A week or two later the Wings met

ballots had to be taken before Winfield

Cincinnati First Western City Honored
James Buchanan was nominated In

choice. The platform was long and
the Convention covered several days.
The Wings were now known as the
Republicans. and they met at Phila-

Republican Convention held. The dele
gates were not chosen by any settled
rule. John c. Fremont was nomi-

with his army at Vera Cruz on March
9th. 1s47. and planned to work his
way to the capital while General Tay-
lor was going through the northern
part of the State. At Buena Vista
General Taylor met San.a Anna and
his men. and 1t was during this bat
tie that General Taylor gave his IA
moua commando little moro grape,
Captain Bragg" 1t Is recorded that
Captain Bragg then loaded his guns
with grape and turned the tide of
battle in favor OF the Americana.
Northern Mexico had now been con-
quered. and 1t remained for General
Scott to lead our men to victory in
the Southern part. This he ala in his
desperate assault on the fortress of
Chapultepec. There the fight was OF
most determined nature. and the
hand-to-hand combat as the Ameri-
cans stormed the citadel are historic

diers The march into Mexico City
was peaceful. and after two years
fighting the United States had subdued
the trouble maker.
Under the terms of peace Mexico
coded the provinces Of New Mexico
and California and gave up all claim
to Texas. The United States, how
ever. paid Mexico SIS. 900. 10000 for
the coded territory. The war cost our
country $156.ooo. 10000 in actual ex-
penses.
This war was scarcely over before
the Mexicans were fighting among
themselves again and civil war
seemed imminent. Santa Anna came
into prominence again and declared
himself the Perpetual Dictator. This
was In 1853. The dictatorship ended

Lincoln Nominated at wigwam
A few days later the Republican
National Convention was held in Chi
cago in a building known as the wig

nominated by the quick changing OF
four votes from Ohio when one dele
CATION after another changed in his
favor until three hundred and fifty
four votes were recorded for him.
In 1884 he was renominated in old
Front Street theatre at Baltimore The
nomination was unanimous on the
first ballot. There was a long plat
form and much enthusiasm prevailed
when 1t was read. The Democrats
held their Convention in Chicago and
nominated George 3. Mcclellan as
their standard-bearer. Their platform
was not as long as usual and strictly
to the point, no words being wasted
in the usual platitudes. The Radical
Republican party met in convention
at Cleveland and chose General John
c. Fremont as their choice for Presi-
dent. Lincoln. however. won out at
the election.
| In 1858 the Democrats met at Tam
many Hall, New York City. the Con-
vention lasting an entire week. After
twenty-one unsuccessful ballots a
stampede began on the twenty-sec-
ond ballot for Horatio Seymour, and
when the ballot was announced II was
| found to be unanimous for him The
| Republicans met at Chicago and In
perfect harmony chose General u. g.
Grant as their candidate. The war
record OF General Grant and his ex-
treme popularity with the people
brought about his election.
In 1872 the scene OF the Democratic
Convention was again set in Balti-
more-this time at Ford's Opera
