THE GABBLE AND THE GAvE1.
Interesting Facts About the Conven-
ton,
From The Netc York SIM

From the Neto York Sun
CHICAGO, June 2O.-It is a gavel and a
gable convention. Three gavels have
already been presented, and the gable is
almost interminable. The first gavel was
presented yesterday by the redoubtable
| Horn of Michigan. It was made of lumber
copper, wood, iron and salt, ILLUSTRATING
what Horr called the five industries of the
country. He asked the chairman to use it
in pounding the daylights out of the demo-
| cratic party. The chairman discreetly re-
piled that with it he would pound the life
out of that party. A second gavel was
| given to the convention to-day by e. w
| Montgomery of Galena, ILL., He said that
1t was made from piece of wood taken
| from desk found in tannery in Galena
1t was the desk used by u. S. Grant
when he was receiving $500 year for
| his services The chairman of the Illinois
| delegation expressed the hope that it would
be used in tanning the hide of the demo-
cratic party after Horrs gavel had Knocked
the life out of it, The third gavel was pre-
sented on behalf of Chicago republicans by
Mayor Roche of this city. 1t was as garish
and as gorgeous as dresses usually worn by
| Chicago women. 1t was made of gold and
silver and studded with Jewels. Roche said
it illustrated crude and skilled labor. II
| was far more typical of the trusts and com
| binatlons in the northwest and of the i'm
mense fortunes drawn from the pockets of
the people and from the public lands by the
republican statesmen now sitting on the
| floor of the United States senate chamLer
It is rumored that there are other gavels
| in store for presentation. One of these de-
| serves espec al monitor. The Hon. Elliott
F. Shepard is said TO be the prospectiye
donor. One who claims TO have seen IL
says that it is made of shittim wood and
covered with scriptural quotations. The
fifth gavel awaiting presentation is said To
come from the hen roost of II. 3. HAYES of
Ohio. Ben Butterworth is reported TO he
the man who is TO make the presentation
There is also n rumor that some friend of
John sherman will give TO the convention
gavel made from beam Of the house in
which Eliza Pinkston was born. Tie pab
bic of the convention is very much like the
gavels. Horn himself represents the Inn.
Der, Gen. Bayne carries tie iron. Butter
worth furnishes the wool, Gen. Hustled is
the salt, and Gov. Sewell the gold and silver
in its construction The jewels are as vet
unrepresented, but it looks as though Mai.
Mckinley would be one of them.
