Note from page 9: 6. A careful examination of the official records of National Democratic Conventions reveals the fact that each Convention, in turn adopted the rules of the preceding Convention as far back as 1856. The Convention of 1856 adopted the rules of the Convention of 1852; but the official stenographer had been unable to Procure a copy of the proceedings of that Convention (if any was published). What the rules were originally, cannot be stated with certainty; but by common consent they are understood to be the rules governing the U. S. House of Representatives, so far as applicable.
