THE NATIONAL CONVENTIONS.
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

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

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.
He is maker of high-grade candies of all
kinds, such as bon bons, caramels and
marshmellow taffy. This is something
new. Candies made fresh every day,
and will give more candy for the money
than any other place in The Dalles.
Give him a call and be convinced. j201m
Mrs. M. E. Brisrgs wishes to announce
to the ladies of The Dalles that she has
taken the agency for the "Ideal Balm,"
a toilet preparation already used by sev
eral ladies here, who are unanimous in
pronouncing it the best they have ever
used. One application makes an agree
able change. For preventing chapped
or rough hands it is the peer of anything
on the .market. It will positively re
move freckles, tan, sun-burn and pim
ples without the least iojury to the most
delicate skin. We are willing to rest
its popularity and its future upon the
opinion of those who use it, and conse
quently know just what it will do.
