N the new Audito
rium at Denver,
ca'pital of Colora
do,on the 7th of July
the twentieth na
tional convention of
the Democratic par
ty will begin Its
work of nominating
candidates for pres
ident and vice pres
ident of the United
States. A two-thirds
vote of the 1.008
delegates, or 672
votes, will be re
quired to nominate.
In Republican na
tional conventions a
mere majority Is
sufficient The Dem
ocrats adopted the
two-thirds rule at
their first national
ANDREW JACKSON t t
in silhouette. "vention. seventy
six years ago. Of
the candidates for the presidential
nomination at Denver may be 'men
tioned William J. Bryan of Nebraska,
John A. Johnson of Minnesota, David
R. i Francis of Missouri, George Gray
of- Delaware and Lewis S. Cnanler of
New York. The convention will be
called to order by Thomas Taggart,
chairman of the Democratic national
committee.; T r. I.. ' j
The first Democratic; national con
vention opened In Baltimore May, 21,
1832. Its chief duty was the nomina
tion of a vice 1 presidential candidate.
President Andrew Jackson,! then near
the close of his first term, was so on!
i i i
versally popular wlth his party that
uu other name was considered for the
presidency. A resolution indorsing
Jackson in about a hundred words was
the only platform adopted.! Martin
Van Buren of New York, Jackson's
own selection, was named for the vice
I presidency. ! I
Prior to 1832 presidential candidates
were nominated by mass meetings,
caucuses, legislatrva resolutions and In
other ways not national in character.
In the Baltimore convention all the
states except Missouri were represent
ed by delegates. Since ,1832 the Dem
ocrats have held quadrennial conven
tions, and eight of them. Including the
first, have met at Baltimore,
, At President Jackson's Instance the
convention which named candidates
for the election of 1836 met May 20,
1835, nearly eighteen months prior to
election d&j, thus giving Martin Van
Buren and Richard M. Johnson, the
nominees, the longest campaign in the
history; of America. This convention
adopted no platform. Andrew Jack-
e on was the Democratic platform. The
whole power of Jackson's administra
tion "was exerted toward the election
of Van Buren In order to overthrow
John C. Calhoun, with whom "Old
Hickory" had quarreled. ! ;
President Van Buren was renominat
ed In 1840, the convention meeting
May 5, as the unanimous choice of the
party. The convention refused to re
nominate Vice President Johnson, mat
ine. . In fact, no nomination for that
ofBce. Nevertheless Van 1 Buren was
badly defeated in the election by Wil
liam Henry Harrison, while Johnson
was elected vice president by the Unit
ed States senate. The convention of
1840 adopted a platform, the first ever
adopted by any national convention, j
It declared that the federal govern
ment Is one of limited powers, which
6hould be strictly construed by all the
departments.
The convention of 1844 met May 2T
and nominated James K. Polk of Ten
nessee for president and Silas Wright
of New York for vice president, but
SVright refused to accept the nomina
tion. George M. Dallas of Pennsylva
nlar was placed on the ticket in his
stead. .Wright's refusal was because
of pique at the defeat of Van Buren,
who tried J to break down the two
thirds rule and secure a renomlnation
for himself . Folk, was the first "dark
horse" nominee! in our historyt He had
not been mentioned for the presidential
nomination prior to the convention.
Lewis Cass of Michigan was nomi
nated for president at the 1848 conven
tion, with William O. Butler of Ken
tucky as the vice presidential candi
date. The convention met May 2.
The convention of 1852, which open
ed June 1, was a battle royal, and in
the end another dark horse. Franklin
Pierce of New Hampshire, was named
for president The fight was between
Cass, nominated and defeated four
years before, and James Buchanan of
Pennsylvania. Finally Pierce, was
voted for on the thirty-fifth ballot by
the Virginia delegation, which persist
ed in voting for the New Englander
until pn the forty-ninth ballot; nearly
all the other delegates swung over and
nominated him. William R. King of
Alabama was named on the ! second
ballot for vice president j
In 1S5G the Democracy finally broke
away from Baltimore and met in Cin
cinnati on June 2. During all of Presi
dent Pierce's administration i Jamesi
Buchanan had been absent from the
country as minister to England and
thus had escaped the fierce conflict on
the slavery problem and the incidental
anarchy in Kansas. Buchanan. Doug
las and Cass were candidates before
,the convention. Pierce sought re-
nomination and received a substantial
vote, but his attitude in having favored
the repeal of the Missouri compromise
rendered him a weaker candidate than
Buchanan? whose absence had been
his poll leal salvation. Buchanan re
ceived the nomination, with John C
Breckinridge of Kentucky as the vice
presidential candidate. The platform
adopted at this convention j approved
the course of the Pierce administration
In repealing the Missouri compromise
and thus giving slavery a chance to
Intrench Itself in the new territories
north of the southern line of Missouri.
The convention of 1800 met at
Charleston. S. C, April 23. This was
the fiercest Democratic convention ever
held,, slavery extension being the bone
of contention. Stephen A. Douglas was
Dy far the strongest presidential prob
ability. The convenfion voted fifty
seven ballots without casting the nec
essary two-thirds vote for one man.
Finally the convention adjourned to
meet in Baltimore June 18. Before
adjournment several southern : states
withdrew, being opposed to the Doug
las platform. The seceding; delegates
held a convention in Charleston, adopt
ed a platform for which they bad con
tended in the regular convention, then
adjourned to meet in Richmond ybe
first Monday in June. On j this date
the seceding delegates met and again
adjourned to the 21st of June, i Mean
while on the 18th the "regulars" met
in Baltimore and nominated Douglas
for president and Benjamin Fitznat-
rlck of Alabama i for vice j president
Fltzpa trick declined, and the national
committee named Herschel V. Johnson
In his place. Some of the "regulars"
bolted the Baltimore convention ; and
nominated for president John C. Breck
inridge of Kentucky and for; vice pres
ident Joseph - Lane of Oregon. , The
"seceders" sitting in Richmond accept
ed this ticket I '
At Chicago In 1864 the Democratic
convention, which met Aug. 29, was
national only as it related to; the north
ern states. The eleven southern states

: At the nineteen Democratic national

ed. The successful candidates were
Andrew Jackson, Martin Van ; Burvu.
James K. Polk. Franklin Pierce, James
Buchanan and G rover Cleveland, -j Van
Buren was elected once and defeated
once, Cleveland was elected twice and
defeated once. Andrew Jackson was
president two terms, but was the nom
inee of a national convention only
once, Tilden was elected at the elec
tion and defeated by the electoral com
mission. Bryan has been defeated
twice and Is now again the leading
candidate for the nomination. In 1904
he was not an aspirant for the honor.

first and second offices in the land two
Republicans, Horace Greeley of; New
York and B. Gratz Brown of Missouri.
This anomalous situation was brought
about by a prior convention of '"Lib
eral Republicans" at Cincinnati, ied by
Carl Schurz, which nominated Greeley
and Brown. The only hope of defeat
ing President Grant for re-election was
In a combination of the Democrats and
the Liberal Republicans, who had de
clared violently against the Grant ad
ministration. - The Baltimore conven
tion simply swallowed the Cincinnati
convention product ticket, platform
and alL Greeley and Brown were de
feated overwhelmingly in November
St Louis was the Democratic conven
tion city in 1876, June 18 being the
opening date. Samuel J. Tilden of New
York and ; Thomas A. Hendricks of
Indiana were named for president and
vice president Tilden, who was gov
ernor of New York, was a master poli
tician and had planned his campaign
with marvelous ability. Governor Hen
dricks of Indiana was his" chief oppo
nent Hendricks accepted , the 'second
place on the ticket with some: reluc
tance. Tilden was elected In Novem
ber, according to the. best knowledge
and belief of all Democrats anc many
Republicans, but a special commission
created to decide electoral contests
voted his opponent Rutherford B.
Hayes of Ohio, into the j presidential
chair. The electoral commission was
made up of eight Republicans and
seven Democrats. The final vote on
the matters In contest was eight Re
publicans for Hayes and sevenfDemo-
frnta for Tn1n. . i 1

in Cincinnati. Tilden declined a re

Indiana for vice president v
Grover Cleveland of New York, the
first Democrat elected president since
1856 and thus far the only one, was
the presidential nominee of the three
conventions of. 1884 in Chicago, 1888 in

the Interesting fact;
that the attitude at that point is exact

fore has a national political convention
elected to hold Itself so high up In
the world, ind never before has such:
a convention been held so far to ; the;

tional convention met In Kansas City,:

Denver. Is pardonably proud of Its!
distinction in securing this great con-;
vent Ion, where will assemble 1.008 del
egates from all the states and territo-j
ries to nominate candidates for j the!
presidency and the vice presidency of
the United States. This will be, thai
twentieth; national nominating conven-j
tlon of the historic party, but the first
to meet In a city the site of which was
a barren plateau when the Democratic
party nominated in 1856 its last suej
cessful candidates prior to the great
political changes brought about by the
civu waj i ...... : y- :it
The first settlements upon the land
now comprising the thriving city of,
Denver were made In 1867." Originally
the place! was called St Charles,! but
a little later the name was changed in1
honor of ( Genecal James W. Denver,
territorial governor of Kansas, which
at that time included the Colorado
country, jln 1859 the city received its)
charter, and In 18CS the first railroad
connection with the rest of the world
was made. In forty years Denver has
grown from next to nothing to undis
puted greatness. American energy, the
precious metals and the Colorado cli
mate have made Denver the metropolis
of the Rocky mountain region and one
of the most enviable cities In the
world. It is practically Impossible to
discover j any body who once having
seen Denver will speak ill of the city.
To most persons Denver and delight
spell the same thing. ;
Denver! and determination also might
be said to spell the same thing, for the
hustling representatives of the Colora
dd capital jwere so determined to se
cure this convention that they pledged
the Democratic national committee
$100,000 jto help defray convention ex
penses, and the money was In sight be
fore the !nationnl committeemen could
say Jack! Robinson. Denver also pledg
ed the construction of a convention
hall, toj be called the Auditorium,
which should be the biggest of its kind
In the United States. The city has ful
filled that; pledge, having put up a
splendid! stone, steel and brick struc

The Denver Auditorium is built for
generations, as Denver hopes to get
many more big conventions. It Is situ
ated In the business center of the city.
The structure contains 4.500.000 coble
feet of space and is lighted by 5,000
sixteen candle power electric lights.
Three million brick and 1.500 tons of
steel were used In the construction. The
12.500 seats are all opera, chairs, no
cheap wooden affairs, and there Is
room forj the placing of a considerable
number of extra chairs In tbe Immense
hall when occasion calls for them. As
to exits, this hall has tbe rest of tbe
United States gasping for air. Within
two minutes the entire building esn be
emptied of its human throng. As to
ventilation, the Denver Auditorium
seems to! surpass every known prede
cessor, for it has two great fans, each
ten feet j In diameter, midway in the
house, to send cold air through the
building.! while thire is an exhaust fan
to eliminate tbe foul air. Each fan has
a coil of 12.000 feet of pipe to be filled
in summer with cold water, thns es
tablishing a cooling plant, and to be
filled with steam In winter, thus heat
ing the buCdIng. :j ' '
The Denver promoters, however, de
clare that the July climate la so pleas
antly cool that every delegate will be
able to sit comfortably In the hall with
his coat on Instead of being compelled,
as at moat conventions, to go "la

it the visitor to whom the "seeing"
car lecturer fnts out the mile! high
sign ; Is not satisfied with that unusual
altlttde ho need not go home without
going higher. Let him take a train for
the 'famous Georgetown loop and be
yond to Silver Plume, which is two
mlloe high. The trip is s mstter of
only about three hours smt is ss full of
thrills as the fretful porcupine's ex
terlor Is full of qnlMs. Past gold
mines ' prodigiously rich the trala
cllmlis ;op the mountains, the trsck
winding around and np so that at
Georgetown It crosses over Itself twice.
Inl case two miles high is too low for
satisfaction, there is still higher climb
ing by rail. The road which climbs
Gray's peak, not far from Denver, Is
the "highest up- railway in the world.
In a zigzag fashion the train crawls
tap the mountain wall nntll all around
the amated tourist lies perpetual snow
and within his range of vision are 182
mountain peaks of the mighty Rocky
range. .This high line is something
new, having been in operation but two
seasons. 1 The altitude reached by this
railway is 14,000 feet, considerably
more than two and a half miles.
i Should further thrills be sought after
these tbe passenger may mnste a one
day trip Into the Royal gorge and re
turn. Another trip is that Into tbe
wonderful gold fields of Cripple Creek
and their vicinity, which. In the lan
guage of an enthusiast, is a one day
trip that bankrupts tbe English lan
guage." i A night's ride from Denver
is Glenwood Springs, tbe beautiful wa
tering place. A similar distance Is tbe
Pike's Peak region, with : Oolorsdo
Springs,1 Manltou Springs snd tbe cog
road up Tike's Teak and the drive
through the astounding Oerden of the
Gods. "
Denver Itself is sbout fifteen miles
from the mountains, though the mar
velously clear atmosphere causes the
stranger to Imagine that ha can walk
to the mountains snd get back before
breakfast,! Gold and silver are by no
means the only products of Colorado.
In the delightful little valleys and oo
the plateaus around Denver one may
see tbe prettiest of farms, agrlcnltup
being made possible and profitable
through Irrigation. '
Denver Is at the j unction of the
South Platte river and Cherry creek.
Along tbe -banks and In the bed of
Cherry creek, right In the city, nsed to
be placer gold in paying quantities.
For that matter, anybody In Denver
today may go down to the creek with
a pan and wash out $1 or 12 worth of
gold duet In a day's work.
"Is that so T exclaimed an excited
tourist who recently visited Denver
and beard 'this fact casually mention
