Ex-senator kellogg Has Some Remi-
niscencesI OF the Famous Convention.

Washington Correspondence Chicago Post.
Ex-senator William Pitt kellogg is al
ways interesting when discussing public
cent years, because he knows the men
personally and has participated as a dele
gate IN the last five Republican national
conventions, as leader of the Louisiana
delegation. Drawn into a discussion of the
1880 convention by a running fire Of COM
Sherman's book, Senator Kellogg told
what he knew about the part Garfield
took: and in the course of the conversa-
Garfield sat in his seat In the conven-
ton white and seemingly distressed when
ne was nominated. 1 do not know whether
ne was a party TO the movement to have
himself nominated, but everybody else
seemed to know all about the movement
and a great many foresaw his nomination.
The work had been going on a week be-
fore the convention met. One OF the first
men L met when i reached Chicago that
year, was an. Ohio delegate of the name
or Sheldon, who had formerly been a MEM
Der or Congress from Louisiana. He had
been put on the delegation as a Sherman
man. When saw him the first time he
worked industriously among Southern dele
gates PROSECUTING for Garfield. The day
the convention met l saw Sheldon and he
nominated. Afterward the men who were
arranging the break were buzzing around
Garfield and running here and there. But
what was going on. 1t was one of those
cases where a man situated as he was
wouldn't want to know too much"
Gould Mr.. Sherman have been nominated
Il Garfield's name had not been used?' was
asked. -
"Oh. yes" replied Senator Kellogg, there
Is very little doubt that he would have been
nominated. Sherman was very bitter about
his defeat. and when the President named
sheldon to be Governor of New Mexico
Sherman held up the nomination a long
time. One day I asked him to allow it to
be confirmed. Don't you think you have
nf1nichad Sheldon an0fIohc II oolraI w..
known just as well as l do that that man
was a traitor said Mr.. Sherman. He could
not have been elected delegate If he had not
been under pledge to vote for me. And you
know ne was working for Garfield all the
time
81 talked with him a little longer and
finally he said: We'll, / am going to a din
ner tonight and I will not be at the execu-
tive session. If you want to do anything
with Sheldon's nomination l will not be
present to object I called up the Sheldon
nomination that day and IL was confirmed.
Sheldon Is living In Los Angeles. CAL, and
a Senator who saw him not long ago told me
he heard the whole story from his lips"

Elwood,. Tin-PInte Strike.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
ELWOOD, Ind, Nov. 5.-The strike among
the employees of the cold-roll department Of
the tin-plate factory resulted to-day in new
men being put in the strikers places, as no
agreement between the company and the
strikers could be reached. The men agreed
TO GO rack to work. and some of them did,,
but the majority failed to go TO work, and
they are now cut for good. The result of
putting green hands to work in the place
of skilled ones was shown to-day, when all
that portion of the plant which precedes
the cold-roll department in the preparation
Of the plate was closed for two weeks,
throwing five hundred men out of work for
that length of time in order to allow the
new men TO handle the work that has be-
come piled up before them and to learn
their duties. The men demanded to be paid
'by the pot for what they did instead of
by what was turned out by the thinning
house. upon which basis all the employees or
the factory are paio. Some months this
house runs behind several hundred boxes,
for which the employees are not laid until
next month, and this was a part of their
grievance. as $500 boxes were left over last
month. The company claims that they can
not arrange Ii TO pay for the pot" as they
have no means of knowing how much is in
a pot" and that the plan now used Is just
70 all concerned.
