The conyention of 1sfe

The Democratic National Convention of 1876 assembled June 2s, at St. Louis, with Henry Watterson of Kentucky as temporary chairman and General John A. MeClernand of Illinois as permanent chairman.
 The convention was deprived of much of it's spectacular interest because the presidential nomination of Samuel J. Tiiden of New York was generally con- ceded. Before ever the convention met, it was generally granted that Tilden had more than 400 delegates out of the whole convention of TAI. Two ballots were necessary, however, to give Tilden the necessary two-thirds majority, as requir- ed by democratic national convention | rules.
 On the first ballot Tilden polled AT. with Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana in second place s140), followed by General 1 Hancock of Pennsylvania (75), William Allen of Ohio (5S), Thomas F. Bayard

THE REPUBLICAN NOMINATIONS.

One of the longest fights in the history of republican national conventions came to a dramatic end at Chicago with the nomination of Senator Warren G. Hard ing of Ohio for president. The choice was arrived at on the tenth ballot and was immediately followed by the nomi- nation on the first ballot of Governor Calvin Coolidge of Massachusetts for vice president. The vigor and vitality oi the middle west is bolstered by the hard-headed common sense of New En. gland.
 It puts two able and worthy leader: at the head of the ticket under whom al clements of the party can unite. Hard Ing and Coolidge measure up we'll witf the illustrious galaxy of names which they now seem destined to join in Amer lean history.
 Like another president which the state of Ohio gave to the nation-James A Garfield, it has been said of Senator Harding that he has "a bushel of brains which he knows how to use to the ad vantage of his country. He has twio' represented the 18th senatorial distric of Ohio in the state legislature anC served one term as lieutenant governor At the 1914 election Mir. Harding wal elected United States senator by a ma jority of more than 100, ,000, running 73. 900 ahead of the next highest on tn ticket.
 In New England, it Is scarcely neces sary to say a word of introduction O eommendation of Governor Coolidge, tn vice presidential nominee Confronte, with a recent situation where a veal and wavering voice would have been ia tai. he spoke and acted for the sturd and unshrinking maintenance of law an, order and won the unqualified endorse nent of all those who believe that obe dience to law is true liberty He wa raised as a poor boy on a Vermont farr In habits of industry. frugality and self reliance and he has shown in his adul Esars that there is no burden or hono placed upon him for which he has nc proved worthy
 But one republican national conver ton in the history of the party has ez eeeded this one in the duration of tn balloting. That was the convention C 1880, when Conlxling led the fight fo Grant as a third-term aspirant and los en the thirty-sixth ballot through tn gwinging of the Blaine support to Gal Held. The convention of 1888 require light ballots before 1t arrived at a dt asion nominating Benjamin Harrison.

PALMER ON THE POCKET VETO. :"

Asked by the President for advice as Q application of the veto power under he constitution, Attorney General Pal ner has just given an opinion which is renodelling of the constitution on the o-ca1led pocket veto"
 Under the constitution of the United States the veto power of the presiden, delhnited very sharply:
 If any bill shall not be returned by the president within ten days Sunday, excepted) after it shall have been pre- sented to him, the same shall be a law n like manner as if he had signed 1t, un less the congress by their adjournment prevent its return, In which case it shal not be a law.
 The plain meaning of this provision has been followed in past practice. s, far as we know the pocket veto" ha not been questioned heretofore. All un signed bills when congress adjourned nave been held to be at the mercy of tn president He eould not sign and h ould not yeto such bills. He could le hem die in the pocket"

Juvenile styles for spring are straight with a little fullness over the hips, and sometimes a slight draping in front Often they are made in mouffion serge, or of cheviot in bright greens, rather intense blues, or navy serge, with stripes embroidered in plaid effects.
 Bindings in contrast color are the simple trimming of a large number of the heavy linens from one designer,
 while one model makes good use of heavy cotton braid in loop trimming that outlines its side seams, its pair of straight skirt pockets, collar afd cuffs The braid is white, against blue, rose green or "tange," the last two shades mentioned being particularly popular. The tango is kind of light geranuiun color, with the relation to rose that 2
 burnt has to a clear orange. Green Ii no longer confined to it's initially popu l lar jade, according to this series of dress
