OLD MEMORIES
NEW YORK. April 28.—-—Delegates
and visitors to the Democratic Na.-
tional Convention that meets here
in June will find a far different New
York than did the men who nomina-
ted Horatio Seymore to run against
General Grant in 1868.
In the 56 years that have elapsed
been the scene of a. national con-
clave of a major political party_ a.
new New York has come into ex-
istence. a city epitomizing in its
phenomenal growth and develop-
ment the country of which it is the
metropolis. The population then
was about 850,000. Today, it is
over 6.000.000.
New times have brought new is-
sues and new issues new men. but
seldom in the nation's history have
there been more pressing problems
than those facing the statesmen and
politicians at the close of. the Civil
“’ar.
For both the party and for New
York, 1968 was a. momentous year.
It. marked the rc-cntry of southern
delegates into the party councils
since before the Civil “'ar. It mark-
ed the dedication of Tammany Hall's
new $400,000 wlgwam on Fourteenth
Street. It marked the rise of the
original Ku Klux Klan. with tax re-
duction and negro suffrage as major
issues. and the appearance of Susan
B. Anthony with a demand for votes
for women.
That year say Seymore. twice gov—
ernor of Sew York state. romp off
with the Democratic presidential
nomination to run with Gen. Frank
P. Blair of Missouri. vice-presiden-
lial nominee. into an overwhelming
defeat at the hands of that "silent
soldicr-statesman." Gcn. Ulysses S.
Grant. and his cohorts.
That year also saw “‘illiam M.
(“Boss”) Tweed, the Grand Sachem
of Tammany Hall, working hand-
in-giove with the young lawyer.
Samuel J. Tiidcn, to make the na-
tional convention a lavishly dolortul
success. Twccd‘s graft ring was ex-
posed shortly thereaftcr and Tilden
led in driving to n. folon‘s coil and
to a. dishonored grave the man who,
confronted with his crimes, asked.
“What are you going to do about
it?"
Judged by thermomeiric records.
the convention of 1868 was the hot-
test on record except for those held
at Kansas City and St. Louis. It
lasted five days. with the mercury
hovering between 98 and 101 during
the whole period. Delegates from
the south. coming north for the
first time snice bchre the war, were
quoted as saying. "It isn‘t the heat;
it's the humidity gct's us."
On a Saturday. a l-‘Ourth of July,
the convention opcncd wlth a. great
parade which ushered in a contin-
uous scrirs of day and night dum-
onstrations while" the party romaine
cd in scssion. The Tammany braves
were out in force. Mayor John ’I.
Hoffman was master of ceremonies;
Judge Albert Cordoza read the Dec
claration of Independence in ac-
cordance with Tammany ritual: old
Trinity Church‘s chimes played
"Yankee Doodle-z" the red-shirtcd,
silver-trumpctcd Volunteer Fire De-
partment made its farewell bow to
the public; war vctcrans marched:
bands played, and politicians orated.
’ At night thcrc “'crc bonfires and
torchliehr parades down the narrow,
cobbled strccts of the nation's big-
gest city. which as yet knew neither
gas nor electricity for lighting and
had only mule-drawn street cars.

has discouragrd fireworks and
torchbcarcrs. was then quite dark

“THE NEXT CORNER"
Slew Paramount Production Opens
Engagement at' Regent and
Palace TOday.
When it comes to making pictures
that for their appeal and genuine
cntcrtainment value rank highest
among all of the releases of the
market. the honors go to Para-
mount and this is particularly dem-
onstrated by “The Next Corner."
which opens a. two-days' engage-
ment at the Regent Theatre and
a three-days' engagement at the
Palace Theatre today. Any one of
the several stars in this release
would be a. brilliant headliners
player for any production made.
but Paramount has grouped several
to appear in this unusual screen
masterpiece. Cenway Tcarle who
has many notable achievements to
his credit and Lon Chaney whose
appearence in “The Hunchback of
Notre Dame" are among the prin-
cipals while others in the cast in-
clude Dorothy" Mackaill, Louise
Dresser and Ricardo Cortcz. From
«very standpoint this production
will win appeal. ,“Boy of Mine,”
with Henry B. Walthall. Ben Alex-
ander and others will be at the Re-
gent on “‘cdncsday, Thursday and
Friday.
Buster Keaton in "Our Hospitali-
ty." scvcn rccls of laughter. now
playing at the Rialto theater, says
screen humor furnishes a way for
humanity to leg'ofl stead: of highly
geared lives and laughter is his gos-
pel. Therefore in this seven reel
cyclone of humor, Keaton sets full
sail to practice what he preaches
and by the time that the seventh
reel of this comedy is untwirlcd the
patrons of the theater will be about
ready to shout enough. Keaton's
at his funniest in this picture be-
cause it goes back to the days of
1830 when America was just begin-
ning to grow and the tang of things
that we are enjoying today in the
twentieth century were not looked
forward to. Laughter runs riot
through a. thrilling romance of 1830
in this comedy. In addition Charles
Murray another comedian of note
is featured in “the Dixe of Reilly.
