FIRST REPUBLICAN CONVENTION
 VAS HELD SIXTY SIX YEARS AGO

wrote to him, but many, before he displayed the Republican flag in the Tribune's columns"
 MT. Harvey, in his article quoted in MT. Curtis book, concludes
 Tt is not claimed here that Bovay is the creator of the Republican party. The spirit was active in 1854, in every village and city in the free states, which would have created that party even if Bovay and Greeley had never been born. Bovay, however, was the first person who set out in @ resolute, persistent and practical way to form the party; he was the first to suggest the name, and Greeley, through his paper, which had the largest circula- tion and influence of any journal in the country at that time, gave his valuable aid in making the party project and name known to the country"
 The first national Republican con- vention was held in Philadelphia two years. later.

| political career. He is decidedly OF
| the stand-pat variety. No doubt he
can be depended upon to listen atten-
| lively to what they will have to say
| should he be elected. They will be the
motive power behind mis- administra-
| ton. Here is where his Mckinley
traits will come into play.
1t is well known that the Old Guard
wanted Harding at the outset. but
the poor showing made by him in the
! primary in his own state forced them
to look elsewhere for a man and they
| took up Lowden. Then when It be-
came apparent that Low1en couldn't
| win they brought all their pressure
to bear to swing the Lowden strength
to Harding to end the deadlock and
in this they were finally successful.
Senator Harding thus stands before
the people of the country today as
their one best hope for the next four
years. The Democrats will have to
put up an exceptionally strong candi-
date indeed to overcome the unpopu-
larity of the present administration.
There are so many features hat
stand out against a continuation OF
Democratic control at Washington
that, as disappointed as the people
may be over the failure of the Repub-
leans to measure up 10 the real stu
alton. they will probably swallow
Harding as the best hat can be done
in a most unsatisfactory situation.
Harding fits well with the meaning
less platform that the Republicans
have adopted. The Interpretation of
the various planks is left entirely in
the hands OF the candidate. With the
right kind of men to aid and advise
Harding might succeed In bring
ing the country safely through this
critical period of reconstruction.

Story Of Democratic
Conventions To Date
BY A.. Fl. ~vANDENBERG
The Convention of 1876.

III
The Democratic National Conven-
ltion of 1875 assembled Jun 2S, at st.
with Henry Watterson of KEN
lucky as temporary chairman, and
General John A. McClernand OF
Illinois as permanent chairman.
The convention was deprived OF
much of it's spectacular Interest be-
lcause the Presidential nomination of
Samuel j. Tilden of New York was
lgenerally conceded. Before ever the
convention met, it was generally
leranted that Tilden had more than
400 delegates out of the whole COR
vention of 744. W ballots We're nee
iessary. however, to give Illden the
necessary two-thirds majority, as re-
!ouired by Democratic National Con-
IVention rules.
on the first ballot Tilden polled All,
with Thomas A. Hendricks of Indiana
in second place (140), followed by
General Hancock of Pennsyivanla
(75). William Allen of Ohio (56)'
and Joel Parker of New Jersey llS)'
Ion the second ballot, Allen q. TnIr-
man of Ohio (to be nominated Tor
Vice-President - years later) made a
brief appearance; but Tilden, gather
ing one-half the previous Hendricks
vote and a good portion OF the Han
cock vote poiled 535 n was nomi-
iIldltu, IN Ai1OARt oN%'o
tmous. Hendricks thereupon was
unanimously named for second place,
Though the Indiana delegation protest
ed it did not know whether he would
accept.
The platform was a long indictment
of previous Republican administra-
ltions. Ten times vitriolic paragraphs
began with the phrase-"reform is
necessary"-and each time a different
subject was attacked. While much
attention was given the payment of
the nations debts, the resolutions ran
the whole gamut of government, and
I%concluded by saying-"we demand.
la change of system, a change of adj
ministration, a change of parties that
we may have a change of measures
and of men,"
1t was this campaign in which Presl-
ldent Hayes was elected by the narrow
margin of one electoral vote-the in

lcally denied by h Democratic Party'

THE VICE PRESIDENT

All must give credit to the Repub-
lican party for at leas. nominating a
strong candidate for vice president.
Usually the second place on the ticket
goes to some %nonentity for the sake
of %placating some dlsgruntled faction.
Fitness for the presidency is hardly
considered. In nominating Calvin
Coolidge of Massachusetts. the Re-
publicans have a man OF presidential
