The Baltimore Convention and the Demise of a Party
A dramatic critique of the Baltimore convention portrays the Democratic Party as dying from internal rot. Delegates from multiple states defected over Louisiana and Alabama’s bogus delegation, leaving 1934 votes cast and two thirds rule unmet.

The piece labels Northern and Southern factions as treasonous yet asserts the country remains safe.
