the Chief Executive at that time, thought that it meant the widening of the slave territory and for a time Texas was denied her ambition. War With Mexico
 Finally, in 1S43, when the subject came up again, Mexico issued warn ing that she would regard the admis- sion of Texas into the United States as signal for war.

to seize the Gulf ports of Mexico and use the customs duties to pay off the indebtedness. They did not wait to learn the views of the United States on the subject, although they sent our country an invitation to join the ex- petition. Juarez arranged a meet ing with representatives of the credit tor nations and soon discovered that instead of intervention the move on the part of the foreigners was an in- vasion.
 Monroe Doctrine Disregarded
 The Civil War was at that time en- gazing the attention of the United States, and the French were confident that the Confederates would win and become an ally of Mexico and with them fight the Monroe Doctrine which was worrying the foreign countries. After the foreign soldiers had landed in Mexico the plans of the French became known and the English and Spanish soldiers withdrew. There was a battle and General Forey assumed the reins of Government. Juarez was deposed and the French took charge of the capital and made ready to form a Government according to the plans of Napoleon III. Maximilian, the sec ond son of the Archduke Francis

allowed to own land in Mexico and troops were sent to Texas to enforce various laws which worked hard ship to the colonists. There were sev- eral encounters between these troops and the Texans, although war for a time blew over, but in 1885 the trouble was renewed when Santa Anna set out
 with his men to reduce the rebellious colonists. The famous siege of the Al amo was one of the historic episodes of this war. The decisive battle, how ever, was fought on the banks Of the San Jacinto river on the twenty-first of April. 1886, when Santa Anna brought five thousand Mexicans against eight hundred Americans-the latter under the leadership of Gen. eral Sam Houston. The Mexican dic-' tator was defeated. captured and forced to acknowledge the independ- ence of Texas. Several of the Euro pean nations, as well as the United States, recognized the little republic.

way to the capital while General Fay Tor was going through the northern part of the State. At Buena Vista General Taylor met Santa Anna and his men, and it was during this bat tie that General Taylor gave his fa- nous command-"A little more grape, Captain Bragg" It is recorded that Captain Bragg then loaded his guns with grape and turned the tide of battle in favor of the Americans
 Northern Mexico had now been con- quered, and it remained for General Scott to lead our men to victory in the Southern part. This he did in his desperate assault on the fortress of Chapultepec. There the fight was of a most determined nature, and the hand-to-hand combat as the Ameri- cans stormed the citadel are historic for the bravery and daring of our sol- 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 ceded the provinces of New Mexico and California and gave up all claim to Texas. The United States, how ever. paid Mexico $15,000,0 100000 for the ceded territory. The war cost our country $156,0o0. .O0o,00 in actual ex- penses.

this was completed many of the South ern delegates withdrew. Stephen A. Douglas was nominated on the second ballot. The platform for that year showed that the Democrats believed acquisition of Cuba The party was split and the bolters held a Conven- ton of their own at the same time and nominated John C. Breckinridga for President. The split in the Dem ocratic party was complete and both wings were bitter against each other.
 Lincoln Nominated at Wigwam
 few days later the Republican National Convention was held in Chi cago in building known as the Wig wam," where Abraham Lincoln was nominated by the quick changing of four votes from Ohio when one dele gation 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 long plat form and much enthusiasm prevailed when IL was read. The Democrats held their Convention in Chicago and nominated George B. 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 1868 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 it was found to be unanimous for him. The Republicans met at Chicago and in perfect harmony chose General U. S. Grant as their candidate. The war record of General Grant and his ex- treme popularity with the people

lengthy one at their ratification meet ing in Philadelphia, held imm ediately after the Convention and attended by most of the delegates.
 Baltimore in 1852 was again the Convention City, when Franklin Pierce became the nominee after forty-nine ballots had been taken. The meeting was in session five full days, with sev- eral night sessions-the beginning of the fashion of holding night sessions.
 A week or two later the Wings met in the same building and fifty-three ballots had to be taken before Winfield Scott was chosen. The campaign of that year was one of desperation, and there was much airing of dirty linen" both at the Conventions and later-the political boss being much in evidence in both parties. Pierce was elected and the Whig party was no more.
 Cincinnati First Western City HonoreG
 James Buchanan was nominated in Cincinnati, the first Western city to be honored as Convention City. Sev- enteen ballots were necessary for the choice. The platform was long and the Convention covered several days. The Wings were now known as the Republicans, and they met at Phila- delphia. This was the first National Republican Convention held. The dele gates were not chosen by any settled rule. John c. Fremont was nomi- mated informally on the first ballot. There was @ lengthy platform setting forth the virtues and aims of the party but somehow 1t failed to impress the voters. The American (Know Nothing) party also had candidate in the field, but the Democrats won out with James Buchanan, who was regarded by the public at large as peerless statesman.
 In 1860 the Democratic National Convention met in Charleston, South Carolina, and after being in session for ten days and having taken fifty seven ballots without being able to make @ nomination they adjourned and met in Baltimore at the First Presbyterian church on June 18th. Three days were occupied in the pre- liminary organization and as soon as

Charles of Austria and a brother of the Emperor Francis Joseph was chosen as the ruler. The sincerity of the rulers was unquestioned, for Maximilian set himself about to restore law and order, while his wife devoted herself to the well fare of the poor. Both the Emperor and Empress were devout Catholics and the churches which had suffered through Juarez were restored to fa- vor, and for a time all went we'll But Mexican politics again came to the front and the Second Mexican Empire went down like a house of cards The Civil War was now over and Washington announced her determi- nation to enforce the Monroe Doctrine. France agreed to withdraw her soldiers from Mexican soil. This threw the Emperor into a panic and he wished to abdicate at once and re- turn to Europe, but the Empress per- suaded him to remain and permit her to go to Europe to plead with the powers. The mission was failure and the Empress became insane. and a short time afterward Maximilian was executed.
 Troubles Always
 Juarez was again triumphant. be- ing elected President. a position which he retained until his death in 1872. This was followed by another revolu- ton which continued with more or less activity until General Porforio Diaz came to the office of Chief Exec utive. This man ruled Mexico with a despotic hand until finally a revo- lution drove him into exile, where he died. Then came Madero. man en- tirely unfitted for the position. His assassination brought Huerta to the front and started fresh troubles for the United States. How this has con- tinued year after year is too we'll known to need repetition here, suffice it to say that hundreds of our cs.szens have gone to their deaths ~, me try- ing to live in peace in that troublous land, which for the past century has refused to settle their public uues- tions for themselves or to permit oth- CTS to settle these questions for them.

by the New York Dem mocratS was read to the Convention. This Convention was held in the First Presbyterian church, Baltimore The Athenaeum was burned shortly before this time.
 Maryland Institute
 In 184O Baltimore was again chosen as the Convention City, meeting this time at Maryland Institute, which had been erected to take the place of the Athenaeum. Van Buren was renomi- hated without opposition. There was no nominee for the office of Vice. President. A platform made it's ap- pearance-not a very lengthy one, but one strictly to the point. In the meantime the Whig Convention was held at Harrisburg. Pennsylvania when William Henry Harrison was nominated as the standard bearer. Harrison was elected, with John Tyler as Vice. President.
 In 1844 James K. Polk was the dark horse, being selected on the ninth ballot amid scenes of wild ex- citement This Convention was held at Calvert Hall in Baltimore. The Whig Convention, too, of that year convened in the Monumental City, meeting at the Universalist church, on Calvert street. Every State in the Union was represented at this meet ing by full delegation, and Henry Clay was nominated by exclamation.
 The campaign was bitter in many respects, but Polk won and the Whigs began to understand that Henry Clay was not acceptable to the people.
 In 184S the Democratic platform had heightened into voluminous doc ument. The Convention went into session at Maryland Institute, Balti- more, on May 22. 184S, when several days were spent in perfecting the or ganization. It was this Convention that directed the appointment of the first National Committee ever organ ized. Lewis Cass was nominated for President, but he went to defeat at the hands of Zachary Taylor, hero of the Mexican War, who had re- ceived his nomination at the Whig Convention held in Philadelphia. The Wings adopted no platform at their Convention, but they put forth a

brought about his election
 In 1872 the scene of the Democratic Convention was again set in Balti- more--this time at Ford's Opera House. The occasion was a gay one as the committee had paid particular attention to the decorations and described as brilliant affair. Horace Greedy became the nominee on the first ballot.
 A few weeks before the Republican party had convened at Philadelphia and had renominated General Grant.
 About this time the Labor question began to creep into our political life and the Labor Reform party held a Convention at Columbus, Ohio, and put Labor candidate in the field.
 Prohibition Makes Its Bow national political movement, and the party met in convention at Columbus, Ohio, and nominated James Black.
 The Democratic Convention of 1876 met at St. Louis, nominating Samuel J. Tilden. Only two ballots were re- quired, the greatest fight being on the platform, which was exceedingly lengthy. A Greenback party had come into existence and they held a Con- vention at Indianapolis, honoring Peter Cooper with the nomination for Chief Executive. The Republicans met that year in Cincinnati, nominating Rutherford B. Hays. who was the successful candidate.
 Again in 1880 the Democrats at their Convention held at Cincinnati selected war hero as their candi- date. General Winfield s. Hancock be- ing nominated on the second ballot.
