It was invented by old Andrew Jackson when he was president, and boss of his party, and his purpose in inventing it was admittedly to enable him to substitute his will for that of the rank and file of the voters. Jackson was the pioneer of the Pen- roses, Cranes and the modern party bonses, The National Republican party io 1831 held the first national conven- tion. This was really an informal gathering of the friends of Henry Clay. It was, as we would now call it, @ mass convention. It met in Bal- timore in December and by a unanimous voice nominated Henry Clay as the party’s candidate for president. This body recommended also the holding of a similar meeting of “young men” at Washington in = torn teronv terete May; and this gathering, known as “Clay's infant class,” met also and nominated him unanimously, Wise old General Jackson, who! was president, and who was unop. posed for renomination, saw in this new method certain elements of popularity and having an instinct for “getting close to the people’ he adopted this development in Politica and set about calling the first im. portant presidential convention to nominate some man for the vice Presidency on the ticket with him. nelf. \ He had the convintion adopt the | following resolution, which i# iipor- tant, as it is t original of the fam. ous two-thirds rule “Resolved, that each state be en- titled, in the nomination to be made of a candidate for the vice presi. dency, to a number of votes equal to the number to which they will be en titled in the electoral colleges under the new apportionment, in voting for President and vice-president; and that tworthirds of the whole number of the votes in the convention sha: be necessary to constitute a choice.” ?
