Rospeotfully, HenMANN LIED. Ontoago, Nov, 11, 1873, TPRACTIOAL RESULTS, From the Chicago {nfon af Nov, T, 1873, The Peopla’s party has achioved an unexpoot- odly glorious victory,—n Yictory that leaves not tho ehadow of n doubt about thie status of public opinion on the nl'lllcirlw ropresonted by 'that porty. It hos cspociaily domonstrated that the munuznd arlatoornoy must henceforth conso to considor thomselvea the only trus ropresonta- tives of tho poople, or to look down upon the laboring classocs of tho population a8 upon a dis- roptuablo rabble. A majority of about 12,000 votes on tho part of tho Poople demands o chango of this for the future. Ropresonting, 88 it did, outsido of Ita Iiboral tendonoios, a figlit of tho working Ylopulnfion agoinst tho_clagsos that foed upon tho popular wealth, the People’s porty s decided that, in futuro timos, a minor- ity of rich peoplo shiall not have- tho powor of arbitrarily ruling, or further enriching thom- selves by imposing upon a mojority.of poor people. “This part of the gencral significance of our victory is by no means an unimportant ono. The oxpectations resulting from it wero promi~ nont among the motives of our campeign. The prevailing ~ conviction, that the People's party was _ tho arty of the poor and laboring classes ns against an arrogant, naproductive, and uscless aristoc- racy of woalth, has suroly gono far towards se- curing our victory ; and it would be both unjust and ungratofal should tho Peoplo's party not fully justify tho confidence placed in it on tho part of tho poople. For thoss rensons, the inbors dovolving upon tho now Administration will in no wiso be ended when public affairs havo boen so arranged as to sccuro a liborai, able, an honeat administration in ail the dopurimonts of ths City Govornmont, It will, on tho contrary, thon beecoma tho urfim duty of "tho People's Administration to tako carc of the wants of tha poorer classes of our population, hitherto shamefully neglected, and. to do justice to their olaims upon the publio. The puor amoug us aroc paying high taxes, comparatively, upon what little property thoy posscss. Thoy principally bonr the burden of gonoral taxation, and to most of thom it will bo up-hill’ work to carry this burdon through o hard winter, and through an immedinto tuturo of financial nod commorcial emburrassments, It is nocossary, thon, to ostablish the gronter possiblo economy in the administration of publio ffairs, to re- strict public exponditures, and to reduco the rate of taxation to o minimum basis, Beyoud that, lowover, it will Do necossary to remedy tho glaring injustico that™ has hitherto been douo . to the laboring population for the boneflt of the wealthy part of our citizene. 'This is the most important task to ‘bo performed by the now Administratton, and wo wish—nay, wo aro convincod—that it will®o sat- iafactorily sccomplished. Asi far a8 the influonco of the Union in concorned, it will always be usod +in this direction. Itwas one of our strongest argumonts agninst the rogime of an overbeariug shoddy administration that it bad neglected tho claims of the Iaboring population of the city, and wo shall always insist upon reformatory measures in this connection during the administration elected by tho People’s party. What we need i the supprossion of all rings, both of tax- fightors nud tax-estora; we must check tho poople who will not pay their taxes unless forced to do so by procoedings at law, and roatriot thoso who have mauaged to reap all the bouofit of the poople’s taxes by Improving certain aristocratio quarters of tho city, and ueglacting the wards _inhabited by tho Jumblor clasos of tho popula- tion. Tho joutgoiug Administration hins noto- riously admimstered publio affaira in this man- ner. After providing the aristocratio parts of the city with all desirablo improvoments, thoy have, in or mear those quariors, and for tho exclusivo bonefit of tho ‘* uppor tou,” constructod parks and othor ornamental inprovementu, usin, thorofor the goneral city funds,—all euol pavis, ote., boing of no bonofit whatever to the Tuaados of tho population. The quartors con- tuining the residouces of the ln\mrlu§ people have boon correspondingly negleoted. = Vory many of thom have ueither gas nor water, nor oven sewers ; aud in somo localities thoro is a most doplorablo want of school accommodation, All theso_things aro, physically, morally, and cconomically 8spenling, of the most vital im- rorlmcu to public welfara ; and we demand of ho now Administration tho correction of what- ever doflcioncies may bo found therein, If this incronsos the domands upon thoe goneral oity- fund, it doos not neceseaiily dotract from tho foasibility of tho uj’nlom of cconomy and re~ tronchmant to bospoedily inaugurated in Chicago. Thero is, to begin wilh, no immediate nocosity of further improvemonts at tho parks, especially those of tho South Side; aud the Union conu- sols to stop all expenditures for such or similar purposes, to simplify the J‘Auk-nflmlnintmtiou by Inoing it under tho jurisdiction of tho Board of Public Worka (the Logislature cnncnrrln&), and to dovote the sums thus saved towards cons structing the neceseary improvemonts in tha |poorer atricts of the cily.
