He became thoroughly conversant with all the details of the hardware business under his father's instruction and carries a complete and up to date stock of all kinds of hardware. Mr Gawin is a young man of absolute integrity and honest business principles and merits a continuance of the confidence which the house enjoyed during the life of his father.

He adheres loyally to the principles of the Democratic party and takes an active interest in the political questions of the day."
