THS RICHMOND PAL LADIU3I AXD SUN-TE LEGK A3I, SUNDAY, JUNE 14, 1908.
Lincoln, the rail splitter of Illinois,
lad strong support from the start.
As the Wigwam could hold only
6,000 people, there were enormous
throngs In the streets, who learned of
Ihe transactions within from men on
ihe roof. There were 465 delegates in
ihe convention.
'On the first ballot Seward, nominat
ed 'by the stately William M. Evarts,
of New York, had 1734 votes. Lin
coln was nominated by Norman B.
Judd. of Chicago, and was given 102
votes. Lincoln's strength was in
creased by wholesale defections from
the other candidates after the first
ballot, and on the second vote the Il
linois candidate, who was sitting: in
his law office in Springfield to hear
thfi returns by wire, received 181 to
Seward's 184.
On the third ballot Lincoln received
231 and Seward 180, and 233 were
necessary for a choice. Then David
K. Carter mounted a chair and
changed four of Ohio's votes to Lin
coln and pandemonium reigned. Mr.
Judd marched down the main aisle,
carrying a portrait of Lincoln, and
Judge David Davis bore a moss-covered
rail with the legend, "Split by
Lincoln." A stampede ensued, and
there were 364 votes for Lincoln when
it ended. Mr. Evarts moved that it
be made unanimous.
The next Republican convention
held in Chicago was that of 1868, and
Carl Schurzz was chairman. It was
held in the Crosby opera house, on the
north side of Washington street, be
tween State and Dearborn, a theater
noted as one of the finest of its day.
Ulysses S. Grant, hero of Appomattox,
received all the 650 votes, and the
convention adjourned singing "The
Battle Cry of Freedom."
Great Times in 1880.
The spectacular convention of 18S0,
over which Senator Hoar presiled, was
held in the then new Exposition
Building opposite Monroe street, on
the lake front. Roscoe Conkling, Si
mon Cameron and John A. Logan were
determined to name Grant for a third
term. James G. Blaine's supporters
also were insistent, and the party
came near disruption.
Conkling, nominating Grant for the
third time, began:
"And when asked what state he hails
from
Our sole reply shall be:
He hails from Appomattox
And its famous apple tree.'"
After Conkling's arguments for a
third term had been heard and de
bated upon fiercely by the assembled
delegates, James A. Garfield, of Ohio,
(."Who had come to present the name of
John Sherman, made the speech which
made him famous. Garfield spoke for
the calm, deliberate judgment which
would need be exercised In the No
vember d.-ys of election, as contrasted
with the decisions made in the heat cf
a June convention.
"And now, gentlemen of the conven
tion," he said, "what do we want?".
A voice from the galleries returned:
"We want Garfield."
"Bear with me for a moment," was
Garfield's rejoinder. "Hear me for my
cause, and for a moment be silent
that you may hear."
Then he pleaded that there must ba
unity in the party ranks if success
was to rest with the Republicans in
the election. Every Grant and every
anti-Grant Republican, he argued, and
every Blaine and every anti-Blalne
man was needed to make success cer
tain. When balloting began next day, G-.ir-
field received one vote, cast by a Penn- j
sylvania delegate. On the ninth bal- j
lot he received two. a Maryland rnuu i
voting for him. On the thirty-fourth j
ballot Garfield received 17 votes. On
the thirty-fifth he received TjO. Then
the convention stampeded to the
young man from Ohio, who had come
to nominate Sherman as the man uyon
whom all the factions could unite. It
ish's cause and John Alden reaping
the benefit. On the thirty-sixth bal
lot Garfield received C99 votes and the
nomination.
Jn 1S84 James G. Blaine, the "plum
med knight," and John A. Logan, Illi
nois' popular son, were the nominees,
the convention again being held in the
Exposition Building. Chester A. Ar
thur, heir to Garfield's chair, sought
the nomination, but lacked the quali
ties deemed requisite to hold the party
together.
Where Blaine Was Named.
The newly built Auditorium, in un
completed state, housed the Republi
cans in the convention of 188S. Blaine
was not a candidate, but the five Cal
ifornia delegates insisted upon stick
ing to him. throughout. John Sher
man's friends stood by him nobly, and
at one stage lie received 244 votes.
On the eighth ballot General Ben
jamin Harrison, of Indiana, grandson
of President William Henry Harrison,
of "Tippecanoe and Tyler too" fame of
1840, was nominated, receiving 544
votes. Sherman received 118 on this
final ballot. Russell A. Alger, 100; Wal
ter Q. Gresham, 59: James G. Blaine,
5, and William McKinley, of Ohio, 5.
Levi P. Morton was named as Harri
son's running mate.
Chicago was host for the Democrat
ic delegates first in 1S64. when Gener
al George B. McClellan, "Little Mac."
was named, with George H. Pendleton,
of Ohio, as Vice President. McClel
lan's friends insisted that he had been
unfairly treated by President Lincoln,
and wanted to show him their appre
ciation. This convention was held in
the Crosby Opera House.
Grover Cleveland. Governor of New
York, was named by the Democrats
in their national convention, held here
in the Exposition Building in 18S4, and
Thomas A. Hendricks, of Indiana, was
the Vice Presidential nominee.
The democratic convention of 1892,
held in a temporary wigwam on the
lake front, was notable for the fight by
Senator David B. Hill and Tammany
against Cleveland. Bourke Cockran
held his audience in the hollow of his
hand for two hours with his celebrated
speech, although rain and wind
chilled the delegates and spectators
to the marrow in the flimsy building.
Cleveland was nominated, and Adlai
E. Stevenson, of Illinois, was his run
ning mate.
It was in the old Coliseum in Sixty
third street, near Madison avenue, on
the far south side, that William; Jen
nings Bryan was nominated In 1896.
Arthur Sewall, of Maine, was named

that it shall be kept in reserve at the

Chicago, III., June 13. Judge Ken.
saw m. Landis, of standard Oil nn
fame, has started another lively dis
cussion here as a result of an attack
he recently made on Congress In re
gard to the jury system. The remark
which caused the trouble were made
in the course of a talk to a federal
grand jury and were not reported at
the time, but later some congressmen
who were in Chicago in connection
with the national convention heard ot
the affair and now it is being dls
cussed very liberally, to the annoy
ance of the various campaign manag
ers, who are trying to hold down the
political lid until after the conren
tion. The Judge was trying io invtO!
a little wholesale patriotism into thw
jury. "It is obvious." he said. "Chat
you gentlemen will be insufficiently
paid for your expenses, yonr time and
your worry. The fees allowed are not
enough, but I desire to relieve myself
of blame for that. I am not to blame
Congress is to blame for giving you
only three dollars a day out of which
to pay your expenses, besides remu
nerating yourselves for your trouble.
However, you have each of you th
satisfaction of performing a duty as a
public officer at a financial sacrifice
of your own personal liberty." Tha
present pay of jurymen was fixed at
a time when salaries and the cost of
living were much lower and has re
mained stationary during all the year
in which the pay of regular govern
ment employes has been very mater
ially increased. Attention has been
called to the injustice from tjms to

cago's war against disease. After
this week the picturesque old hokey
pokey vender with his gandy. oil
cloth covered push cart filled with
watery ice cream will no longer be

out his wares to the boys and girls ot
the tenement districts and gathering
in their pennies in return. The Chi

head, Dr. Evans, has declared that the

contains many rapid, restless germs
and is a serious cause of mortality

Food Commissioner Koehler and his

the rendezvous of the offenders and

paign is based upon two new milk
laws which contain clauses against
adulterated milk products which, are
