In 18(54 the republi cans, in power, called their convention on June 7; the democrats followed on Aug. 29. In 1868 the republicans, in power, called their convention on May 20; the democrats followed on July 4. In 1872 the republicans held their conventions on June 5; the democrats followed on July 9. In 1876 the re publicans held their convention on June 14; the democrats on June 27. In 1889 the republican date! was June 2; the democratic was. June 23.
