Democi a Jc Corn ell ions For Half
a Century.
Following are some interesting
i fac.s regarding the candidates and
the nominations of the Democratic
the last half century, as set forth
by the .New York American:
The Democratic convention of
1 1860. at Charleston, lasted from
j April 23 to May 3. After fifty-sev-
en fruitless ballots, in which Doug-
las had a large plurality, but not
suited in the nomination of William
I j. Bryan of Nebraska, as President,
1 and Arthur Eewell of Maine as Vice
' President. It is interesting to note
* that in this convention the recom-
mendation of David B. Hill by the
national committee for chairman
was o\eiturned by the convention,
Senator John W. Daniel of Virgin-
ia being elected to preside.
In 1900 the Democratic conven-
tion met Ju.y 5 in Kansas City.
Bryan was nominated by acclama-
tion. Former Vice President Adlai
E. Stevenson was nominated for
Vice Presidnt.
In 190 4 the Democratic national
convention was held at St. Louis
July 6, 7, 8, and 9, and until 5:30
o’clock Sunday morning, July 10,
when Alton B. Parker was nominat-
ed after one ballot was taken.

Preparedness is the keynote of j
Governor Woodiow Wilson’s sue-i

candidate for presidential honors.
But all good and all clean men, po-
