- weakoned tho orgauization. — THE CHICAGO DAILY TRIBUNE: DAY OCTOBER 14, 1873. VERY DISTRESSING. The Republican Leaders Don’t Know What to Do, Thoso in tho Interest of Hesing Want .- & Oonvention, Walsh and Some Others are Opposed to Editorial Diotation. The Central Committco DMeet, Talk, and Adjourn. Tho Ropublicnn County Contral - Committeo bad an adjourned meecting yosterdny nftornoon, at tho Paciflo ITotel, Ool. Behaffuor in the chalr, The subject for discussion was tho polioy of holding a Ropublivan Conventlon this fall, Noarly all tho committeo were prosent, and slso ‘any leadiug Ropublicans. The choifrman stated the object of tho moet- ing, which was to consider a resolution doclar- dng it inadvissblo to hold a convention. Boforo taking any notion, it waa decided to hold a public, and nota private, meoting, thus allowing tho numerons lookers-on to remain. Tho rosolution offered by Mr, Howo that it was incxpodiont to hold o convention, then eamoup. Ex-Ald, Waleh thonght that, ordinarily, all the committeo would have to do would be to order s convention. But beforo doing that, thore should bo o full meoting, so that all should be notified that thoro was to bo ono. Mr. Snidor thought tho Committeo should calj & convention, Tho Republicans had & mnjority, and thoir Convention should decide either to nontinato a tickot or throw up the spouge. He moved thoy oall o convention, Ex-Ald. Cloark suconded thie motion, Ald. Walsh moved outsiders bo allowed to speak, but the motion fafled, Ald, Schaffner was eurprised thoy all sat a0 mum, - when outeide they talked so much. He never know a committee whore outsiders had to Do coneultod. The Committeo coutd net for it- solf, and knew its duty. Ald. Walsh romembered & mecting whero tho Chair roquestod outsiders to speak, Tho Chair denjed it. Mr. Pilgrim said tho Obair did so at the last moeting. . Nr. Brookway sald, ordinarily, tho Committee should call a convention, but many prominent Ropublicans had sdvised him not to assist in 2alling one. His constituents out in the country wero against it. Ald, Sidwoll said at the last meoting ho waa in Joubt. Now hwo folt it looked ng if it would bo wisor to call & convention. He saw no reason why they should not rally tho Old Guard. Tho Chair said, at the Inst meeting ho had fa- ~vored Bpeaking by outsidors, simply becauso it woe the unanimous wish of the Commitiee, and ho actod only as Chnirman, not oxpressing his owa individual wishes, Ald. Btonovenid his Sonpln wero opposed to calling a convention, and honce ho should vote ngaiugt it - Ar, Pilgrim thought the Committes would like to honr from influential outsiders, Hoe did not monn to reflect on the Chair. Capt. Laughitn wanted advics in order to loarn whnt wos best for the party. What was to bo gninod by calling & convention? Was thero any question in Wioh. the Ropublican party was intoreeted # Mony mombers had loft, sud had Should tho Ropub- licans do nothing, or forn an union with some other party, or put up a straight ticket? MMr. Pilgrim - s2id ‘the People's Party had a Tiboral piatform. Another sot hod gotten out tho Citizous Indopendent platform, but lie saw no difforence between them. If tho Republicana wauted Lo win, they must gotup n liberal plat- form. If thoy it would got o rospectablo voto, Tho Commitice of Seventy would go with thera, Ho himself hardly knew what to do. ia old friends wero divided, o would like to nimko o fusion -with one of the two other par- o, § Ald, Bchaffner said if ho were not Chair- man of tho Committee, and atéached to its inter- ests, his courao wonld havo beon clear. His viows on the quostions Eonding in tho . municipal cam- paign had long been on rocord, Ho had ox- Bmusud himsoelf concerning the onforcoment of undny Iaws, holding the right of every man to pend Sunday as o pleased, 8o it was quiotly. Tho fact of drinking in a saloon or elsowhere, nonoyed no ono. Tho Committee could call a Convention, but could not control it. Many old Ropublicans had gono off and formed anothor organization on tho Bunday Ifluc\atlon. If party 1inos woro now drawn, it would bo Lard to got thom back ngaiv, e hnd uo personal . interest, simply the wolfaro of tho party, from which ho did mot want to "bo eovered. Tho Committeo of Seventy was _impracticablo. Tho Cltizen's tioket would all still- born, Ifhohad o right to drink boor Sunday tho Iriehman bad nright to drink whisky, If a stroight nomination was mado, with a Hberal platform, it would be about the samo as that of tho Pooplo's purty, Whoro was it to got votors 2 This question had nothing to do with politics, BSomo of those who now wanted a straight tioket, two yoars ago wont into a private caucus to nom- iunte. (If tho party did notnominate this yoar, it could tomo togother casily next full. Ald. Stong, in ordor to harmonize matters of- fored tho following : Warngag, Tt §s elleved by this Committeo that o Aarge mojority of the Hepublican parly of this city nud county ara opposcd to calling s Ropublican Conven- tlon for this coming election, and, bolioving that thio {ax-payers, and tho community at large, demeand hone esty aud intogrity in candidates for oflice moro than any pronounced political opiufons, aud as nothing ox- cept local Issucs ara at atako; thoréforo Kesolved, Thot tho Democratic Central Committes, tho Committce of Sovonty, and tho Citizens’ Indopend- out Committee, each are roquested to_appolat o cown miltoe, together with ono represontativa from cach of tho daily papers_ favorablo {o the movement, on_Mon- {iay, Oct, 20, ot 3 . m.) nt suck placo ab mvy bo so- ected, Ald. Walah thought the first duty of the Com- mitteo was to call & convention. It took good roasons to justify auy othor course. He did not agreo with Pilgrim's viows, The principles_of tlio Hepublicau party woro broad onough. Ho did not beliovo & majority of fho peopio worg Nor did Lo waut They had boon those oditors against O'Harn and auy ecditorinl cursrd long enoughi by coming in_ and dictating nominations, aud covering up tho misdceds of theso nominoes when clectod.

Thero h}u]l !lumn onough of these combinations and tickots, : Mr. Gardnor enid tho fact they would got beaten wus a good ono for not hulding u von- vention, and tho people of the Elghth Waid told Liim to vote against a convention. Ald. Walsh #aid all tho property-holders of the Tloventh Ward wore for a convention, Mr. Brockway said his were all tho other way, e had not met anywhore ten men wlio wauted & convention, Ounly a fow were “r“"ifi tho call- ing of ono, uud thoy seemed to favor the ruln of tho party. Ald. Bidwoll wanted to know Low mattora would stand if the proposed conference resulted fn_nothing, Tho Chair conld not tell, ” Other membors did not understand why tho Toople's purty was loft out aud othors taken in, d, Olurk ‘moved to amend by putting them all in, Air, Snider thought it looked as if tho Commit- toe wan owning its incapacity, It would bo bet- tor to lot a convontion decida, Mr. 8idwell would vota for the substitute if it did not destroy tho Committoo.

GrLAAY, I, Oct, 8, 1873, To the Eilitor of The Chicago Tribune: Bin: Ihavonoticed in your daily soveral ar~ tolos in rogard to this disonso, nnd I purpose ndding anothor, with your pormisalon, 'WANT 18 IT ? Wall, that's tho question,—a quostion that has puzzlod older and biggor honds than mine, Yet I know what it is; that is, I havo n ** praotical ™ knowlodge of it. For throo seasous it hins visited mo, kindly at firat, but oh! how roughly at last. I sought all the profoseionals who have *Dr.” boforo and thoso who have * 1M, D," aftor thoeir namos, They nvoldod mo, and, when 1 cornerod thom g0 thoro was no osonpe, their pro- goription wns, *““Go up to Wisconsin," - I could lavo gono to Texas just na oamsy; u fact onslor, 08 I had n pass to tho Lone-Btar Stato in my pocket. Not having o strong dosiro to go to olther place, I wrote to s Ohicago phy- sicinn, who Ling Dr. bofore and M, D, behind his namo, for & prescription, promising him all tho filthy Iuoro I possessod, and long and extonded puffs in my 25-cont column, if he could finda panacoa. I furthor piotured to him the colossal fortunoe that would rosult from his professlonal Inabors, You will forgive mo when I say that I got my back up at his anewer: * What Is Hay- Tover 2" Thore is an old saying, ** If you wish to suc- cood, follow your noso ;* and, after scattoring his autograph to tho winds, T dovotod all my timo to that useful member and very necessary ureiclo in Hay-Fovor. THE FINST BYMPTOMY, A porson who has had the Hay-Fover can re- call the first symptoms, dating back soveral yours, Tho first yoar it Isthuiw mild, Abont ho 26th of Auguat, you will find a Apot -be- tweon_ your shouldor-Dlades, It might have ‘boon there beforo, but you novar knew of it bo- fore, and now you have only an itching knowl- odgo of it Jongth and brosdih. If you stand out in tho sun for s while, you will ‘scole tho noarost lamp-post,” and, lilko a hog, scratoh,— roviding you ond got tho post to it tho spot. Qou go homa to . study what is tho mattor with you. You aro in a porspiration, oither from wonder or anxioty about it, when a draft of air strikos you, and then you havo no time for wonder or anxziety, and scarcely time to snoozo ; that is, tho timo clapsing botween' Buccessivo snaozes is 8o short that you oon hinrd- Iy’ distinguish ono from the other. A party standing by you would call a dozen sneozes onc. You try to study the causo of the panic; but the run “on your noso is 8o gret that it keops you busy payiug ont, BECOND YEAT, y About tho middle of some fino summor-day, n violent sneazo will, announco to you the ap-. proach of tho 16th of August, You are reminded that you hiad somothing just iike It boforo, Yoy will Bncezo ocensionally until 2 or 8 o'clock, when you rojoice that you aro overit; but the noxt dny it comes on again moro violently, Thon you measure that agot in your back with the door-post. Tho noxt day you nre sneezing again in such rapid sucoession that you have not timo to Al your lungs.- Your testh come togothor with & crash, But you don't that, unloss your tongue should be in the way; thon you know all about it Ag" the montl . advances, your Hay-Fover increases, and at timos you fool like gomn€ mad; and you would, if you had timo, ~Abou tho 1st of Hoptewber suother trouble presonts itsolf, Your oyes know & wesknoss that thoy novor kmew bofore.. Whethor for tho purpose of rolieving tho pont-np passions, or from sym- Plfl\y, thoy sond forth a flood of tears, No ‘dry cars ;" no, nor cool tenrs; but burning toars. You feol mad onough \nnd bad enough to ery; but theso tears aro constantly pouring down your troubled cheoks, Another perplexity now comed on; your handkerchiofs hove given out. Your partuor for life informs you that *‘Nine- toon now ones and & swad of old ones are in the wash,” Botwoen snoozing and orying you write an ordor on your morchant for two dozon hand- korohiofs ; also, a noto to your washorwoman to Durry up tho washing. A3 500n 08 you have got this off your honds, another difticulty comes to your * rolief ;” a torriblo itching about’ the oyelids.. You rub them with-all your might. It produces an excruciating, yot J:louiug BOLBA- tiou, if such can bo. You rub and rub, and, al- though yon Lavo a desiro to dosist, you stilf rub on until your eyelids will no longor wink. In the morning your oyes are gluod - togother : no pasto, no cement, not Bpaulding's ghio,—no, nor Jemima's plaster,—couldstick them together fastor. And thus you spond the next ten days, lesa God for morning: Yon scratch your back, blow your nose, rub your eyos, and tnoozo.. You soratch your back, rub your o{'oe, blow your nose, and Bucezo. Then you will snoczo; then grasp your handkerchiof, Fosp for hruudx, mep your nose, and snceze. Fhon you will rub your oyea and Bueoze, rub your back and sneezo, rub your nose and sueezo ; then scratch your back, rub your oyes, blow your nose, and Bngeze simultaneously. ~ You be-. como enraged, ond, with a pocket-handkorchiof in onch haud and ‘one in each pocket, start for the druggist, *Yon aak for tho latest and most rellable Hay-Fovor romodios. ‘Tho druggist looks smiling, and puts up & market-basket full of stuff; and, aftor buying suother dozen hand- kerchiofs, you start home. You smoke stramo- nium, cubobs, and dandelion ; inhalo . carbolio acid, fodine, ammonin, camphor; doucho your nostrils with quinine, iron, &c., &o., &e., &o., &c.; ond gob to no roliof. You still rub your back, blow your noso, wipo your oyes, and enoezo, You hear of o-noighbor who Lins it. You take s dozen handkerchiefs, and start to sos him. You toll him of all the romedios yon heve tried ; and ho doos tho ssme, You sit, and talk, and aneozo; then rub, and soratoh, and blow, and sneozo; aud Bo you go until Oct, 1, when d;‘v‘an gredually ceaso your lubors, and in o few days ou would not kiow that you over had tho Hay- {'ovnr, wero it not for tho washerwoman’s and tho druggist's bitls. TUE EXTENT OF THE DISEASE, It is not difficult for a porson who has had the disense to rocognize the firsl symptoms in others, nnd it would bo safo to sny that ono in overy twonty persons whom I met in the latter part of August was troubled with *‘s cold in tho hond,” which, in reality, waa tho first symptom of Iay- Fover, 08 any ouo who *‘hns boen there” can readily discover.
