Excerpt from A History of the Republican National Conventions: From 1856 to 1908 At the time I began writing these convention papers for the hartford courant, I intended to describe only the conventions I had attended, either as a delegate or a spectator, beginning with the one of 1860 (the first Lincoln convention) and following with those of 1868, 1872, 1876 and 1880. After the last paper was published, I was asked by the courant to write accounts of the later conventions. Relying upon the official record, as well as upon my own recollections, I complied with the request and wrote of the others in their order; and afterward added the conventions of 1856 and 1864 to complete the series. This will account for a slight repetition in the 1864 paper of what had already appeared in that of 1868. I had no expectation of publishing these papers in book form, but at the request of many friends and with the kind permission of the courant, I have done so (revised and with many additions) and herewith present the volume to the public with the hope that it may be of some interest to its readers.
