To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
If a bare majority of the National Convention thus composed could nominate a candidate, he might be nominated mainly by the anti-Democratic States against the will of a large majority of the Democratic States. Thus the nominating power would be separated from the electing power, which could not fail to be destructive to the strength and harmony of the Democratic party. To obviate this serious difficulty in the organization of a National Conven- tion, and at the same time to leave all the States... their full vote, the two-thirds rule was adopted. It was believed that under this rule no candidate could SPEECH AT THE WHITE HOUSE. 291 ever be nominated without embracing within the two-thirds the votes of a decided majority of the Democratic States.

This rule was a main pillar in the edifice of national conventions.
