The first of the regular national dele gate conventions for the nomination of candidates for president and vice-president were held in 1831 and 1S32, to put tip candidates for the election wbi?h took place in the latter year. The anti Masonic party, the first of the ,:third" parties which have figured in national politics, was the earliest organization, to nilnnf. tliia prstpni. Tt mnrla irn nnmina tions in a convention which met in Bal timore, September 26, 1831, and put up "William Wirt for president. The great parlies of the day at once adopted the system. In New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey at an earlier date the germ of this plan was seen in operation, "but the system was not adopted on a national scale until the campaign of 1832. Previous to that time Presiden tial nominations were made by caucuses of the parties' members of congress, by expressions of preference by the parties' representatives in the legislatures, or by common consent. These are the open ing and closing dates, the meeting places and the candidates of the Democratic national conventions : 1832 May 12-13, Baltimore, A Jack son. 1836 May 20-23, Baltimore, M "Van Buren. 1840 May 5-6, Baltimore, M Van Buren. 1844 May 27-29, Balti more, James K Polk. 1848 May 22-26, Baltimore, Lewis Cass. 1852 June 1-6, Baltimore, Franklin Pierce. 1856 June 2-6, Cincinnati, James Buchanan. 1860 April 23-May 2, Charleston, no nomina tion. 1860-June 18-22, Baltimore, S A Douglas. 1860 June 22-23, Baltimore, J C Breckinridge. 1864 August 29-31, Chicago, ti B McClellan. 1868 July 4-9, New York, H Seymour. 1872 May -1-4, Cincinnati, Horace Greeley. 1872 July 9-10, Baltimore, Horace Greeley. 1876 June 27-20, St Louis, S J Tilden. 1880 June 22 24, Cincinnati, W S Han cock. 1884 July 8-10, Chicago, Grover Cleveland. 18S8 June 5-7. St Louis, Grover Cleveland. 1892 June 21-23, Chicago, Grover Cleveland. 1896 June 7, Chicago. The Charleston convention of 1SG0 split sectionally without making a nomi nation, and each faction afterward put up a candidate in Baltimore. Stephen A. Douglas being nominated in the gathering in which the northern end of the party was predominant, and John C. Breckinridge in the one in which the Southern element was in control. This is why three national conventions of the Democratic party appear in the table in 1860. Two conventions appear in 1872, but the first was a liberal Republican gathering, which nominated the ticket -that the Democrats two months later in dorsed. The following are the dates, meeting places and candidates of the Re publican national conventions from the beginning:- 1856 June 17-18, Philadelphia, J C Ttencont. 1860 May 16-18, Chicago, A Lincoln. 1864 Juno 7-8, Baltimore, A Lincoln. 1868 May 20-21, Chicago, TJ S Grant. 1872 June 5-6, Philadelphia, TJ S Grant. 1876 June 14-17, Cincin nati, R B Hayes. 1880 June 2-8, Chi cago, J A Garfield. 1884 June 3-6, Chicago, J G Blaine. 1888 Jane 18-25, Chicago, B Harrison. 1892 June 7-10, Minneapolis, B Harrison. 1896 June 16, St Louis. Globe-Democrat. MORTON AND PRESIDENCY. Albany Argus: The people who are moBt interested in Levi P. Morton's can didacy for president are the people who expect to put their bands into bis barrel to help along his cause. Boston Globe: Now that New York's old man of the sea has leaped on poor ld Governor Morton's shoulders, Tom Keed will journey nis campaign way with a lighter heart and a cheerier face than ever. Chicago Record (Ind.) : The bee which sings the loudest and most painfully in Tom Reed's bonnet at the present time is the bee of L. P. Morgan, of New York state. Cincinnati Commercial Gazette : Now that Governor Levi P. Morton is really a president candidate, the dispute as to whr ther or not be wears a wig will have to be settled. We can't go into this campaign and have a hair-restorer plat form flashed upon us at the last minute. New York Post : The "Morton boom" has acquired more headway than Piatt and his crowd ever intended. In their heart of hearts they are not in favor of Governor Morton for president. Mr. Reed is their man, but they would like to play Morton until the time cimea to shelve him, and then throw the vote of New lork like an avalanche for the man of their choice. But the danger is that ths boom will get beyond their control. New Candy Store. W. J. Moore, the practical candy maker, is here, located on Washington street, opposite The Chronicle office.
