I THE MOKNING OREGOKrAST. MONDAY, JUNE 25, 1900. DOMINATION OF PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES! (Copyright. 1000. by Seymoar Baton.) THEOREGONI'WS HOME STUDY CIRCLE: DIRECTED BY PROfc SEYMOUR EATON AMERICAN POLITICAL PARTIES BT HON. JESSE MACT. xl The Xattoaal Committee. Candidates for President and Vice President are nominated by National con ventions? of the several parties. The National -committee of a political party consists of one member from each state and territory. It organizes by choosing from its own number a chair man, secretary, treasurer and executive committee, and Its principal business is the management of the Presidential cam paign. In that comprehensive statement Is Included a vast and varied array of duties. To the National committee be longs, "besides a general oversight of the National interests of the party, the rais ing of Immense sums of money to ho used In the campaign and the appropri ation -of the same in ways most effective for the success of the party In the ap proaching election: the preparation or procuring, printing and disseminating Oi great quantities of campaign literature; tboemployroent uf speakers and the .as sisting of the state central committees In conducting the campaign In their sev ral states; the decision as to the tlm and place for holding the National con vention, and the Issuing of the call which brings that body together. Local ArraBKeenti for a. Rational Convention. Tho convention Is held In a large city and In an auditorium (now usually a building erected for the purpose) large en6ugh to accommodate many spectators. Tho privilege, pf admission to the spec tators' seats is highly prized, tickets f&r seats sometimes selling for as much as $30. Arrangements are made by a locai committee of prominent citizens, the com mittee' having many subdivisions for ex ample, upon hotels, transportation, music, decoration, reception and many other matters. A vast amount of work, is re quired and provided for. Composition of the Convention. The official call for the convention de fgnates the number of delegates to which each state Is entitled. Each state sends twlco as many delegates as it has elec toral Votes, and each territory may send two delegates. In Democratic conven tions territorial delegates do not vote; In Republican conventions they may. In lbS2 the Republican National Convention adopted a rule requiring all delegates tQ be chosen by the Congressional districts of each state, except the four delegates-at-large, who should be elected at a state convention. No uniform rule has been adopted by the Democrats. ' Organization of tho Convention. The chairman of the National commit tee calls the convention to order and reads tho official roll. Some distinguished clergyman is then usually called upon to offer prayer. A temporary organization having been efioeted. It is customary to vote that th convention be governed by the rules cf the preceding convention ""until otherwtsj ordered." Republican conventions make frequent changes in their rules of procedure. Democratic conventions arc accustomed to adhere to those which hav.e become time-honored. The Important business of the first day is completed by appointing the various com mittees on credentials, on permanent or ganization, on rules and on resolutions each committee being composed of one member from each state and territory chosen by the delegation from his own state or territory. Tho convention cannot proceed to the work for which It was called until the composition of the body is determined. And that Is dependent upon the report of tho committee on credentials. Sometimes It Is obliged to adjourn from day to day for several days waiting for the adjust ment of questions tta to-contested Beats. WherT "there are but one" or two disputed seats, the "regular" delegates are almost invariably admitted. Occasionally, how ever, two full delegations appear from a single state, each making out a strong Claim. Such a dispute may be settled by compromise, each delegate being given half a Vote. Though the report of the committee on credentials Is generally ac cepted by the convention. It has been in a few Instances rejected. The Repub lican convention of 1890, for Instance, re jected the committee's report. The rulo referred to above, adopted in 1892. was designed to prevent future difficulties of the sort. The report of the committee on perma nent organization comes next In order, and Is adopted by unanimous vote. The large number of permanent officials in cludes, besides the president and the hon orary vice-presidents (one from among the delegates of each state and territory, chosen by the several delegations), a for midable array of secretaries "chief," "assistant" and "honorary" a sergeant-at-arms. with some 20 assistants, and of ficial stenographers. As in 'the state con vention, the permanent chairman upon taking his seat delivers a formal, speech upon the issues of the day. The report of the committee on rules now follows. It comprises an order or business for the convention and a re statement of the rules of the convention next preceding, with such amendments a the committee Judges wise. Consid erable time may be spent In the discus sion of proposed changes. The Platform. The report of the committee on resolu tions should be next in order, and while waiting for it various matters of business may be transacted by tho convention. The committee to notify the successful aspi rants of their nomination and the new National committee may then be elected. Each is usually made up of one member from each state and territory, designated by tho respective delegations. Tho platform Is usually adopted.. "plank" by "plank." as reported and without opposition. Any delegate may, however, vote to omit or amend any res olution. Sometimes a long and Important debate may occur upon a question o party policy a debate which may result in a change of policy. This Is Illustrated in the action of the Democratic conven tion of 1S92, which substituted a resolu tion favoring "tariff for revenue only for one reported advocating "moderate protection." A hot discussion upon the financial resolutions reported to the .Re publican convention of 1S9C was followed by the formal secession from the party of several delegates from "silver states." The Xominatlonn. The platform having been agreed upon, the real business for which the conven tion has met Is at last undertaken the nomination of candidates. In spite of the long preliminary canvass, many names are sometimes proposed. The Republican convention of 18S3 cast ballots for 1 different persons. The roll of states is called in alphabetic order, and each state delegation has the right to nominate a Presidential candidate. Of course, not all avail themselves of the privilege, but tho opportunity is often made use of to com pliment some leading and favorite poli tician of the state with no thought of his receiving the nomination. Sometimes s state delegation nominates a citizen of another state. Mr. Blaine was nominated in 1832 by the delegation from Colorado. Details are carefully arranged before hand, plana being laid to present the names of favorite candidates in tho most effective manner. Names -are usually proposed In elaborate oratorical speeches, prepared long before, eulogizing the nom inees In the loftiest flights of eloquence and skillfully "working up" the audience to a pitch of enthpslasm which manifests itself in tumultuous applause. A nomina tion is seconded by another delegate, who may also indulge in a display ot oratory, and who may be followed by ethers. When the balloting begins tho Ions roH J of states is called usually again and again, for only rarely is a nomination made on the first ballot. The chairman of each state delegation rises in his placo to declare for whom the vote of his state, is cast cither announcing the vote of a majority of his delegation as the vote or his state, according to tho "unit rule," of stating- the actual vote of the members of his delegation, which may or may noj, be divided. And delegate may challenge the return of vote made by the chairman of his delegation, and in such a case the secretary of the convention calls the roll of that delegation. In a few Instances, when some one man has become known as the undoubted preference of his party, nomination has been made by acclamation. Martin Van Buren was so nominated in 1S23, Henry Clay in 1S44 and Grover Cleveland in 1SSS. General Grant received the unan imous vote of the Republican convention both in 1S6S and 1S2. In Democratic con ventions, it will be remembered, two thirds of the vote Is required to nomi nate a candidate. In Republican conven tions a simple majority Is sufficient. The repeated calling of the Toll of states gives opportunity for delegates to change their votes. As each ballot Is taken anu. counted the results are announced to the convention. Day after day is sometimes consumed In this tedious manner. Forty nine ballots were necessary for the nomi nation of Franklin Pierce in 1S33, 53 for that of General Scott in the same year. "While the balloting goes on and a de cisive result Is not reached many con ferences take place among the delega tions. Influences, some legitimate, some questionable, are brought to bear to In duce individuals or delegations to trans fer their support from one, aspirant to another. In case several leading men are before the convention and the friends of neither are disposed to yield, a "dark horse" may at the right moment be an nounced as a candidate and may unex pectedly receive the nomination. The "dark horse" Is a man of comparative obscurity or of prominence only in a limited portion of tho country- Several Presidents have come before the con vention as dark horses. Such were Polk, Taylor, Pierce, Hayes, Garfield and Har rison. A nomination having been made by the requisite number of ballots, it is "good form" for the principal supporter of the candidate receiving the number of votes nearest to that of the successful man to move that the nomination be made unan imous. Supporters of otner aspirants second the motion, which is always car ried amid great applause. In recent years Is has been customary for the chairman of a Republican convention when a nom ination has been made- to put the ques tion immediately, "Shall the nomination be made unanimous?" The nomination of a Vice-President Is a comparatively tame affair. The proced ure is the same as that already, de scribed. After attending to the remaining rou tine business, the convention adjourns sine die. Partr Loyalty. A much-vexed question always arises In connection wlfh the action of a. party convention. It Is as to the obligation upon the members of the party to sup port the nominees of the convention. Theoretically party loyalty, requires all to abide by the decisions of the authorizes representatives of the party, but party discipline has never yet been able to coerce individual action, though strong efforts are made to place a stigma upon the "bolter" or the "kicker" who re fuses to vote the party ticket. The Re publican convention of 1SSJ passed al most unanimously a resolution, called the "Ironclad pledge," declaring "that every member of this convention Is bound In honor to support its nominee, whoever that nominee maS be, and that no man should hold his seat here who is not ready so to agree." But wherf four year laterran effort was made by the Repub licans to pass a similar jnotlon, it was found impossible, and it is known that a number of the prominent delegates to that convention labored and Voted for tho election of tho Democratic candi date. .The Catnpalprn- The two nominees of the convention are now the party "standard-bearers," and all the members of the party are ex .pected to "rally around" them and uso every endeavar to win for the party a "glorious victoiy" in the Autumnal elec tion. Tho delegates return to their bomca carrying with them the enthusiasm gen erated in the great National assemblage. Under the general guidance of the Na tional committee, the intricate network of party committees covering the country goes vlgo.'iusly into the work of "or ganizing the campaign." Business from sea to sea is more or less Interrupted for the four or fiVG months during which the American people are engaged In get ting ready to elect a chief magistrate. Thousands .ipon thousands of "campaign speakers' a-d millions of newspaper ar ticles and political tracts are supposed to assist the American voter in making up his mind, how he shall vote, while many millions of dollars are devoted to the same purpose. Early In November tho voter walks to the polls (or rides In a fine carriage hired with tho party "campaign fund") and deposits an Auj trallan ballot, which records his decision, and a few hours hitor hlr conclusion Is known to the whole civilized world. A ruler for a mighty people has been chosen. A great party has come into power oif has succeeded In retaining power for another four years. Jealous ies, disappointments and heart-burnings remain to embitter individual lives, but the country returns to its legitimate oc cupation of making a living, while the politicians commence laying plans for the next Presidential contest. ci2 frxL yc-y Iowa College Bonaparte ttrttcrm Burned.

Except for its as sociation, it was not very good from the point of view of an old f urnlturo-lover, be ing of mongrel shape and unclasslcal lines. However, it came Into the possession of a local dealer, who proceeded to overhaul and restore It, and :n doing so he acci dentally touched the Inevitable secret spring, and before him stood a carefully bound package of dusty Utters, which he burned up because written in French. He Is German, It Is said.

He has never been -scon to look out of the chib windows at the throng of gaily dressed women sauntering by; but, repairing to tho rflent chamber, ho scon loses him self in his pavorito pastime. At the Union Club, it Is not an unusunl night to ceo "W. K. Vandorbllt and J. Plerpont Morgan seated at adjoining tables- In tho silent room. Vanderbllt, how ever. Is more fond of bridge whist than EOHteire. Two kinds of solitaire are played by Vanderbllt and Morgan at tho Union Club. One is known as the "Dunca-n Special,1- a gamo Invented by "William Butler Dun can, of tho old Arm of Tuncan, Sherman & Co. The other fa called "4-li-44." Of tho wo varieties tho "Duncan Spe cial" Is the more difficult. It is this form of which Mr. Morgan Is so fond. He likes it because it Is difficult. The possible combinations are endless. No two games can ever preswrt the samo problems. These two species of solitaire- are played no where except In the Union Club. W. K. Vanderbllt is the champion bridge whist player of the club. Vanderbllt is a great poker player, but as poker Is for bidden In the Union Chrb, he plays bridge whist as the next best thing. A special room and" a row of tables are allotted for the playing of this game. The tables ore ranged m the order of the stakes played at them. Vanderbllt al ways sits at the highest table, whereas Morgan, who sometimes indulges in whist, never plays for high stakes. Though con trolling as much money as, or perhaps more, than Vanderbllt, Morgan Is more pruti-nt. A medium stake seems to satis fy his ambition. No charge is made soli taire players at the Union Club, whereas 0 cents a hand is charged for participat ing m other card games. A clubman has said that Morgan played, rolltalre to save the GO cents, but, unlike some other com ments passed at this restrictive club, the remark has escaped censure. Personally. Mr. Morgan Is a large; broad-shouldered man of medium height. To strangers his manner is brusque, but to his intimate friends ho is courteous and affable. Aa Error Corrected. Boston Transcript.
