Ilo wanted tho speech mndo 1 tho noxt two weoks, and thought it ought to bo delivored in Bloomington, Ho slso_was of the opiniou that Col, Hoclier or Gov, Koernor oughic Lo bo solicited to make speeches to Ger- man meetings, and that it was not so nocessary to hiavo n crowd to liaton a8 1t was to have their spoechoa eproad broadeast through tho publio Ppioss.

Mr. Morritt thought that matier could, be sattlod by correapondenco, Ho thought tho is- Buing of AN ADDREES TO TIE PUDBLIC, S which should bo short and puugent, was of moro immedinte importauce. Mr, Spriuger said the a{moch Tarnsworth mado two yuars afio was au able ooe, and ono that had Leou favorably cominonted upon throughout the countrz. Ho thought that ho ought to be pro- vailed upon to make & similur offort at an early day. Mr, Drake thought tho scleotion of speakers ought to bo left to the Execulive Committeo. s was in favor of tho lwsue of a short and pungent nddrees, as had been Bug- gested, which, in view of the turbulence and, curml}tnuau in tho country, ought to arraign tho Republican party, and invite the co-opora- tion of all clements "opposed to its monstrous and sickentug outrages. e wan in favor of Gov. Palmer being invited to open tho campaign. Mr. Brown was opposed to an address. 1lo thought tho Springticld platform tho bost ad- drory that could bo made, and that jtn oxconded publieation would suporsede any apparont necose sity for any other declaration of pritciplos. Mr, Hesing was in favor of an mfama-, but . thouglit it ought to bo carofully propnred, At this juncture the presenco of the Hon, W, T\ Coolbaugh was noticed, when ho was nvited 10 addross thia mooting. MR, GOOLDATGI sald he was presotit with no intoatlon or expecta- tion of inflicting a spocch. Ho was tied 80 closo to busineas of lato that ho bad lost iuterost in politics. Ho thought if tho Committea issued an_address that it onght to be brief and to the point, and that it ought to bo unalterably against the corruption and intolorauca of the prosent Administration, He #aid he koo very littlo of parties, bet belioved that it was a goneral feoling that s change of Administration at Washivgton was nocessary for Lho public good. He thought the change coutd bo bout effccted by o union of tho peopla against tho corrupt practicos of the Governmont. Ha was confideut an early changoe sould come with or without tho action of tho Domooratio party, but that th chango would bo hastened avd made cortain by inviting a union of all opposed to the Republican party In 4 com- mon strugglo for tho future prosperity of tho country. Mr. Bugh then moved that tho Exeocutive Committeo be tustructod to enrrespond with the loadors of the party in tho State, and mocertain where and when Jspealkors were wanted. On motion, the selection of a spoaker to apen the canvass, tho solcotion of cawpaignors, and the iesuing of an address, was referred to the Exocutive Gommittao, with' power to act. TUE ADDRESS AGAIN. AMr. Morritt sald if an address was issued ho hoped it _would be an elnboration of the plat- form, snd & wholesalo attack upon the Repub- lican party. Mr, Orendorft said he indorged tho Republican party up to the timo be left it, and thought it hiad done a groat mony good things. If tho ad- dress was to condemn the Republican party with- out reservation, ho could not approve of it.” When a membor of thio parly Lo spproved its actions, and ho was not now prepared to chango his opinion, To condomn the party, as a parly, without resorvation would be to condemn him- gelf and much of his political lifo, Mr. Honing had confidence in tho Exccutive Committes, and did not boliove it would misuse its power. Ho thought It unnecessary to talk finance to the peoplo, or to discuss any such uestions, If ho took the stump this fall ho slionld seck 10 0xp0s0 corruption i o way which ho thought would reach and win the public hoart.” Ho was i favor of an address bomng is- sued, and in favor of Gov. Pulmer’s making tim oponing speech of tho campaign, which should by all meaus bo dolivered in Ohicugo, Mr. Springer wantod an addross issued, and thought It ought to show up the corruptions of the prosent Admiuisiration, e regarded tho yeork to bo dono this fall but & proliminury stop to tho election of a Democratic Presidont in 1870, Ths Committoo then adjourncd, subject to the call of tho Chairmau. 5 TRk ey LOCAL POLITICS, THE NINTI WARD.

We koo nono of tho ususl managers of tho political rings. What will bo dono without thom, remains 10 bo seen. Ouvoe waok ago the so-calted Ropublicans had & Couvyention at Rockford,and ronominated Stenhon A, Hurlbut. Ho, a» protty much alf the readora of Tue TninyNg know, Is the present Ropro- sentative of thiw district in Congress. His sec- ond nomination was a forogona conclusion. He apponrs to be the hond ring-mastor of that par- ticular combinstion. It 18 all-important just now that tho ring bo kept intact ; and therafore in tho admonition sprend abroad that * every- body bo ro-clected.” 'herefore tho Postmasters aud routc-agents got togothor at Rockford, and nominnted Mr. Hurlbut "8 & muatter of courso. Self-preservation required it, Now thero iu also nuother spparant necessity. Thio pooplo of this distriet, comprising largoly.of original opublicans, Indugmuduutn.

'Iharo is mora outsido interest takon in it, It is a procooding in which the publio feel they have s stake, The Convention is held at DuBois Hall. In this room, two years ago, Gen, Farnaworth was put forward for nomination b{ 113 own party for Cougross. Saven times had ho boeu nominatod and olectod, and always to tho honor, crodit, and npbuilding 'of tho Hopublican puty. Bug thny Burty had got upon the down-hill slide, Rings ad boen formod, and 1t was not for thopurposes of tho rings that Gon. Farusworth should be olected. Aund therefore he was slaughtered in tho homse of his friends. Ono county, s o trick and trap. #ob b} tho sing-makore, was inetructed {0 support any other csudidate than Farnoworth. This county hold tho balance of power. Thereforo Tarmsworth could not carry s majority, The door of corruption was thus fiot wide opon, and Stephon A. Hurlbut, who could ot gob tho voto of bis own county in_the proliminary conven- tion, by bargainini and trading, got the nomin. tion of tho lepublican party. It was in o Presi- dontial olection, aud thougls the voters woro cha~ ;r'rinud at the nomination, they folt forced to go L to savo tho party, Now.it is very apparent to yoto for Hurlbut at tho coming eloction will bo inviting cortaln _destruction to tho party. To this eod doos politieal trading como at last. Itis of courso numecosssry tosny that Qon, Farnsworth was nominated by acclamation, Tho informal ballot showed no leaning for other cau- didates, ‘The Genoral accopted tho'nomination by an eloquent, tolling, old-time speoch, that hed the ring of the old anti-slavery daya, Ho read Lis owa platform, and deflned his position, in o monner ‘which was fully approved by his constituants.
