 Venti0n Held 56 Years Ago

New York. April "5.-Delcgates and visitors to the democratic ua- tional convention that meets here next month will find lar different New York than did the men who nominated Horatio seymour 10 run against General Grant in 1868.
 In the 5G years that have elapsed since the nations largest city has been the scene of a national conclaNr . of major political party, new New ! Cfk has come into existence, q c!t! epitomizing in it's phenomenal growth and development the country of which it is the metropolis. The popu- iation then was about S5O,0e0. Today, il is over 6,U0O.00o.
 New times have brought new is sues and new issues new men, but seldom in the nations history have there been more pressing problems than those facing the statesmen and politicians at the close of the Civil War.
 For both the party and for New York. 1868 was a momcntous year. It marked the rc-entry Of southern dele gates into the party councils since be- fore the Ciivl war. It marked the dedication of Tammany Halls new s400,000 wiGwam on Fourteenth street It marked the rise of the or iginal Ku klux Kan. with tax rcduc- tion and negro suffrage as major is sues, and the appearance of Susan E. Anthony with a demand for votes for women.
 That year saw Seymour, twice gov ernor Of New York state. romp of. with the democratic presidential nomination to run with Gen. Frank r. Blair, of Missouri, vice -presiden- tial nominee, into an overwhelming defeat at the hasds of that silent soldiers Gen. Ulysses $. Grant, and his cohorts.
 That year also saw William NJ. CBoss") Tweed, the Grand Sachcm of Tammany Hall, working hand-in- glove with the young lawyer samuel J. Tilden, to make the national con Nention lavishly colorful success. Twecd's graft ring was exposed short ly thereafter and Tildcn led in driving to felon's cell and to q dishonored grave the man who, confronted with his crimes. asked, What are you go- ing to do about it?"
 Judged by thermometrie records, the convention of 1868 was the hot test on record except for those held al kansas City and St, Louis.

HOLD UP PERMIT FOR FILLING STATION
Attempt to Block Installation on
 Franklin Square

The Standard oil company ran into another obstacle in its plans 10 estsb fish gasoline filling station on the site at the corner of Pearl street and Franklin Square when the building commissioners at meeting last night, refused 10 grant the company a per init for the erection of the building until Corporation Counsel John H. kirkham has made ruling on the legality of such a building. No ac- ton will be taken on the matter until the ruling of Judge Kirkham has been made.
 The oil company filed an applcs- ton for the permit July S1 and Build ing Inspector Edward J. Hennessey in- vestigated the plans and withheld is- suing the permit until the building commissioners had opportunity to rule on it.
 In his report to the commissioners, Hennessey said that the spot on which it is proposed to erect the station is 1o4 feet away from the nearest church. The ordinance on filling sta tions now reads that they shall not be established within 200 feet of church. It originally provided for a distance of 500 feet but was changed to 100 feet and then 1t was revised to goo feet where 1t now stands.
 Chairman Israel Wexler of the com mission said that he doubted whether the board had the authority to issue the permit as the ordinance reads that no building shall be erected on gasoline filling station site unless the station already exists there, and he was of the opinion that the corpora tion counsel should be asked to rule on the point before action was taken on the application. The board voted to take this course.
 William F. Mangan represented the oil company and argued that as the company had received permits from the commissioner, of motor vehicles, the chief of the fire department and the chief of police for establishing the station, 1t was entitled to permit from the building commission to erect the building.
 A permit was granted to the At lantic Refining company to erect a gasoline station in the rear of the Burritt hotel.
