business has been involved In som,
mystery; the lips of the engraver
and his assistants have beeH sealed as
it were, aud they have been warned

balance of the 306. The origin of the
the medals is too we'll known to need
much more of statement than was
first given to the public by local sc-
count in the Republican before the
design was absolutely settled upon,
the idea having originated with Mr..
Filley and Don Cameron a few weeks
after the Chicago Convention. 1t is
said that the designers had some
trouble in getting good profile of
Gen. Grant, which was finally secured
through Col. f. Grant, who got his
father to sit for photograph, which is
the one cut on the medals. The
medals are composed Of dark rich
bronze, and are one inch and three
fourths in diameter, with the edge
perfectly round, smooth and unmilled.
On one side is profile of General
Grant, and underneath and extending
round the head is q wreath of leaves,
and around all this is raised circle,
on which are engraved the thirty-six
ballots for Grant, the record beginning
at the bottom, and, going around the
circle, meet again, the last ballot, 306,
coming in contact with the first bal
lot, 304, (votes) The second ballot,
is 305. which continues to the eighth,
going one better 306. The ninth was
306, the tenth 3O5, the next the same,
and the twelfth, dropping one, 3O4,
which is regained, the thirteenth and

3l3, and on the thirty-sixth, and last
popped back again to 306. Outside
this record and along the rim is
feur de lis, which completes the pro-
file side of the medal. On the diverse

with circle, and within it is the fol-
lowing inscription:
