The <entity_0> were a series of presidential nominating conventions held to nominate the Democratic Party's candidates for president and vice president in the <entity_2> election. The first convention, held from April 23 to May 3 in <entity_3>, <entity_1>, failed to nominate a ticket, while two subsequent conventions, both held in <entity_4>, <entity_5> in June, nominated two separate presidential tickets. The <entity_0> convened at <entity_1> Institute Hall (destroyed in the Great Fire of 1861) in <entity_3>, <entity_1> on <entity_2>. Candidates receiving votes for president at the <entity_3> convention: A few votes went to former Senator Isaac Toucey of Connecticut and Senator James Pearce of <entity_5>, while Senator Jefferson Davis of Mississippi (the future Confederate President), who received one vote on over fifty ballots from Benjamin Butler of Massachusetts. The Democrats re-convened at the Front Street Theater (destroyed in the Great <entity_4> Fire of 1904) in <entity_4>, <entity_5> on 18 June. The resumed convention's first business was to decide whether to re-admit the delegates who had walked out of the <entity_3> session, or to seat replacement delegates who had been named by pro-Douglas Democrats in some states: other delegates had boycotted the <entity_4> convention. The Southern Democrats who had walked out of or boycotted the convention, with their allies, reconvened at the <entity_5> Institute in <entity_4>. After the break-up of the <entity_3> convention, many of those present stated that the Republicans were now certain to win the <entity_2> Presidential election.
