Emblems of Allegiance-The Handsomest
Badges.
CHICAGO, June 19.-Probahly there have
been few conventions that required sc
many emblems of divide d allegiance. Two
that are alike are seldom seen together il
the halls. The handsomest badge seen al
either convention is worn by 20 men from
Colorado. 1t cost that number of dollars
1t is made of solid silver. and is as beGut
full and artistic as it is snowy. From &
broad bar of gilded silver depends a
cart-wheel dollar highly FURNISHED, and
under that is devise consisting OF
crossed picks and shovels with 4
bucketful of ore hanging from a chair
that crosses from shovel to pick. The
tiny mining implements are all gilded ,anG
the whole device is hung upon a back
ground of white satin. The CalitornianS
have thus been outshone, but their badge
is still ahead of all the rest. Its form is
that of golden bear hung from quarter
eagle gold piece swinging beneath bar OF
gold. The GreshamiteS wear n pretty lit
tie flag button made out of silk The elect
among the Algerines wear a solid silver
stud as big rs a cuff button. The Algel
buttons that are scattered largely to catct
the colored vote are of brass and simply
gilded. The spruce young fellows from
the Foraker club of Columbus wear
scarlet badge az gay as the plumage of t
tanager. The Harrison men wear a plaiI
badge of white silk, and the Rusk men {
bit of bright blue.
