Chicago, 1ll. May 24—In assembling Chicago in June the republican na- tional convention will be sitting in the section where the republican party was first named and within 200 miles of ‘where the first recorded republican meet- ing was held 66 years ago. The ap- proach of the convention recalls this ear- Iy history, though with the passing of the years ang the development of new issues -the first stgps of the party have passed from common View. “It will probably not be possible to trace to the earliest date the first posi- {tive meeting which led to the formation of the new party,” writes Francis Cur- tis, in his history of the republican par- ty. “It is quite likely that there was no considerable gathering of men, nor dis- | cussion of plans and policies, until Mr. A. E. Bovay, a whig of Ripon, Wis., to- gether with a Mr. Bowen, a democrat, and a Mr. Baker, a free-soiler, issued a call for a public meeting to consider the now alarming situation.” The great issue of the hour was the extension of slavery. Of the political situation prefacing the formation of the republican party, Mr. Curtis says, “No political party was able to elect enough members of congress to overrule the united will of the slaveholders, and un- mittee of five, three whigs, one demo- crat and one rgpiggoiler. was chosen to begin the task of forming a new party. | “At these two m was started the earliest systematic work begun any- | where In the country to bring about coalition of the enemies of slavery ex- tension, who were eventually fused inte |2 homogeneous and aggressive party adopting the name Republican.” Mr. Harvey guoted a letter Bovay la- ter wrote to him: about this meeting, inf which he said: “I went front house to house and from shop to shop and halted men on the streéts to get their names for the meeting of March 20, 1854. At that time there were not more than & hundred vot- ers in Ripon, and by a vast deal of ear- nest talking I obtained 53 of them. . . .. We went into a little meeting, whigs, free solers, and democrats. We came out of it republicans and we were the first republicans in the Union. . - .
