in Chicago on the I'd, in accordance with the
call of the National Republican Committee.
The auditorium was superbly decorated. Tho

the structure, futtered in every crevice,
waod from every window, and filed the

of the States cleaned along the front of the
gallery, and from feste<Nled braces, high in
air hung the pictured faces of Washington,

Ter and other dead patriarchs of the party

tllumined by marble statue Of Justice, with
the conventional sword, and eyes CLOSELY
blinded. Upon the Chairman's desk was
gavel turned from a block of wood taken

Springfield, and handled by wood taken from
| q b. anch cut from q tree that shadows the
ashes of George Washington, at Mount Yer
non.
The Convention was expected to assemble
