It contrasts framer intent with today as Congress becomes subordinate to the executive, while Democrats face pressure over Roosevelt support and Chicago nominations.

First Illustrated Postage Stamp Origin Noted in Philadelphia
From the Philadelphia Record, the idea of illustrated postage stamps is traced to James McCurdy, a mail clerk on West Susquehanna Avenue, who proposed the concept to the Post Office Department as early as 1870. The Columbian series popularized such stamps, inspiring later issues to mark national events, with a letter from President Cleveland’s private secretary confirming receipt of the designs and referral to the Postmaster General.
