Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Prince, Thomas 1687-1758 (search)
Prince, Thomas 1687-1758 Clergyman; born in Sandwich, Mass., May 15, 1687; graduated at Harvard College in 1707, and, going to England in 1709, preached there until 1717, when he returned to America, and was ordained minister of the Old South Church, Boston (1718), as colleague of Dr. Sewall. In 1703 he began a collection of private and public papers relating to the civil and religious history of New England, and continued these labors for fifty years. These he published under the title of The chronological history of England (1736 and 1756). The history was brought down only to 1633, as he spent so much time on the introductory epitome, beginning with the creation. His manuscripts were deposited in the Old South Church, and were partially destroyed by the British in 1775-76. The remains, with his books, form a part of the Public Library of Boston. He died in Boston, Oct. 22, 1758.

He was a delegate to the National Democratic conventions in 1880 and 189Democratic conventions in 1880 and 1896; was an unsuccessful candidate for the United States Senate in 1893; member of the national Democratic committee in 1888-96; and in the latter year was named for the Vice-Presidency of the United States on the ticket with Mr. Bryan.

ty of hard money, and is opposed to legal-tender paper money as a part of our permanent financial system; and we therefore favor the gradual retirement and cancellation of all United States notes and treasury notes, under such legislative provisions as will prevent undue contraction. We demand that the national credit shall be resolutely maintained at all times and under all circumstances. The convention ultimately endorsed the free-silver movement, and nominated William J. Bryan and Arthur Sewall. The sound-money Democrats organized a national party, and in its convention nominated Gen. John M. Palmer, of Illinois, for President, and Gen. Simon B. Buckner, of Kentucky, for Vice-President. In the ensuing election the organized sound-money Democrats polled 132,870 popular votes. There is no doubt but that a large number of other Democratic voters who favored the maintenance of sound-money standards voted for the Republican candidates on the national ticket, while supporting thei
