Past Democratic Conventions. The convention which opens at Baltimore Tuesday will be the twen- tyfirst national assemblage of the Democratic party, while the one held last week in Chicago was only the fif- teenth Republican national gather- ing. But the Democratic party sur- passes the Republican in age much more than this difference would in- dicate. Born in bank controversy of 1791, christened by Jefferson, its founder in 1792, and strengthened in the division among the people which Washington’s neutrality proclama- tion at the beginning of the Anglo- French war in 1793 caused, the Dem- ocratic party passed its centennial mark more than a decade ago. But the history of the party’s con- ventions dates back only to 1832, in which year the national delegate con- vention method of nominating can- didates for president and vice-presi- dent was adopted. The first national Democratic convention was held on May 12, 1832, at Baltimore, and adopted two rules which have guided the actions of all subsequent conven- tions. One of these provided that the delegates, when so instructed, should cast the votes of their states as a un- it, and the other that no candidate should be nominated without a two- thirds’ majority. Andrew Jackson was nominated for president and Martin Van Buren for vice-president. They were elected. The second national Democratic convention met on May 25, 1836, al- so at Baltimore, and nominated Mar- tin Van Buren for president and Richard F. Johnmson for vice-presi- dent. The ticket was successful in the subsequent election. il The third convention ,held on May 5, 1840, at Baltimore, renominated Van Buren, but named no candidate for vice-president, leaving that to the several states, It also put forward the first complete platform ever adopted by the party. Parts of this platform were incorporated into the deliverance of every national Demo- cratic convention prior to the civil war, and its leading ideas have reap- peared in many of the party plat- forms of the last 50 years. In 1844 the national Democratic convention-again assembled in Balti- more, Van Buren had a majority of the instructed delegates for his nomi- nation. James K. Polk was a candi- date for vice-president. Unfortun- ately for Van Buren he was not on the popular side in regards to the burning question of the annexation of Texas. Again the two-thirds rule ‘was introduced, and assured Van Bu- ren’s defeat. After a three days’ struggle the nomination was given to Polk. ; In the convention of 1848, also in Baltimore, took place the first of the great “walk-outs” in Democratic na- tional assemblages, the others being in 1860 and 1896. The party in New York was divided into two hostile factions. The - national convention attempted to patch up a truce be- tween them by admitting the dele- gations which each chose, allowing each to cast half the votes. The re- sult was that the faction whose choice was defeated indignatnly withdrew from the convention. Lew- is Cass of Michigan was named for president and William O. Butler of Kentucky for vice-president. This ticket was defeated by Taylor and Fillmore, Whigs. Franklin Pierce of New Hamp- shire, a “dark horse” whose name had | not been puglicly mentioned as a candidate, won the presidential nom- ination at the national Democratic convention held in Baltimore in 1852. William B. King of Alabama was nominated for vice-president, but did not live to fill the office. ham Lincoln and Democratic which met in Chicago on August 30, 1864, was to prevent the party or- ganization pieces. platform which declared the war a failure and nominated Gen. George R. McClellan of New Jersey for pres- states ratified the convention’s ac- tion. of James Buchanan of Pennsylvaunia for president and John C. Brecken- ridge of Kentucky for vice-president. The most fateful convention which wag ever held in the United States was that which opened at Charleston, S. C., on April 23, 1860, which lasted ten days and took 57 unavailing bal- lots, and which split the party into a Northern and Southern * section, each of which had a separafte con- vention in another place and put up a ticket of its own. One fraction nam- ed Stephen A. Douglas of Illinois and Herschel V.

P. Blair of Missou- ri for vice-president. This ticket was easily beaten by the Republican tick- et of Grant and Colfax. The 1872 convention of the Dem- ocrats was held at Baltimore. It ac- cepted Horace Greeley, the nominee of the seceding-element of the Re-- publican party, and named B. Gratz Brown of Missouri for Vvlce-president but the regular Republicans in that year repeated their victory of 1868, In their convention of 1876, in St. Louis, the Democrats nominated their strongest and ablest man, Sam- Republicans. u uel J.
