What had deteated the Republican party in Cook County had been the rnmgixjxg of un- Pprincipled; illiterate men who bad divided the vote and cart seeds of discord among the various classes. The Republican party offered to givo the laboring men a sound currency, and bring the bondholders to terms. Thoopposition party wasa cooglomeration of various clubs snd parties which had no other desire than to rob sod de- 1raud the people of the city. Mr. J. W. E. Thomas next addressed the meet- ing. The first thing for the club to do was to work. He would do his best for the Republican candidates, whether he liked them personally or not, and he advised all the colored people to do the same. If they all wouid tura out and do their duty, the Bepublican candidates would be elected by large majorities. Let them work shoulder fo shoulder, bring their friends and urge them to come and vote. This city was Re- publican to the core, and it was a shame to let the Opposition carry the day through the neg- lect of the Republican voters. Mr. Thomas, after spenking of the necessity of having & good Alderman to represent the ward, announced himself a oandidate, and_gaid that if elected he wonld strive to do his duty to the best of his ability, and never be a disgrace to the ward, Mr. F. C. Vierling followed withs few re- marks, and eaid that he had been mentioned as a candidate for Alderman. He was not anxions to have the position, and if the people wanted him they had to seek him. However, if be should run for the office, he had no doubt he would be elocted by a large majority. The Committee, having returned, reported as follows : President, David Coev; Vice-Presi- dent, B. T. Wakeman; Secretary, J. W. E. Thomas; Treasurer, F. C. Vierling: Execu- tive Committee, G. M. Bargesnt, Henry Brad- ford, ~ Jacob Pister, E. 3. - Hancock, W. C. Smith, Charles_Lithgow, R. G. Good- willis, Hi Ablel‘;nms.l‘w- Hand, Leory Church, George H. Curd, R. M. Mitchell, J. P. . McGinnis. Patrick Kerns, Mr. John Washington then made a speech, strongly advocating Mr. Scott_as County Com- muesioner in place of Mr. John Jones. His speech was not well received by the large number of colored people present, most of ‘whom seemed to be Jones meun. Mr. Mitchell and several others made speeches defending Mr. Jones, after which the meeting adjourned. . J. _ THE FOURTH WAED. EnA.ll moetiog I;f‘ ibepn::ljclnn was held at Central l1ast nig for the purpose of orgsmzing & Fourth Ward Club. There was a large attend- ance. Among ithose present were Aurry Nel- son, Col. Daniel A. Jones, Dr. T. A. Emmens, H. E. Brown, William Spalding, J. L. Burnham, A- C. Caliins, Ald. Spalding, Kirk Hawes, C. AL, Calbertson, G. A. Leland, County Commission- er Clough, Dan Shepard, W. O. Cole, William A. Fuller, etc. i The meeting was called to order bg Col. Daviel A. Jones, who was then elected irman, and Mr. J. B. Adams, Secrezary. Mr. Clough moved the appointment of & com- mittee of five on permanent organization. Car- ried, and the following gentlemen appointed : Messrs. Cawkins, Hawes, Spalding, Brown, Clough, aud Emuens, The officers rexcrted by the Committe were : e reriena—Shurey Nelson, Louts Wab, Georgs ice- ta—! 3 Armour, John B:ncamr. F, Tucker, C. M.

W, Wheeler, 130 Mosher, Secretary—John B. Adams. Treasurer—J. Spaulding. The report was nnanimously adopted. Mr. L‘lunfiu was then called on for s speech. ‘He reported the action of the Central Committee that afternoon, and stated_that the meeting was largely attended, and was distinguished by nna- nimity of feeling, eentiment, and action. The party wounld oubtedly carry the election, if straight and good Republicans wers nomiated. But that desirablo result depended greatly upon the business men of the city turning ont to vote. He pointed out the evils which would ecsue if the city continued under its present Goverament, and urged every ove to exert himself for the elaction of honest men, who would be featless in discharge of their duty. Mr. Hawes also delivered s short address, alluding to the great necessity for the good men interesting themselves in politics. What kept such men out of politics at present was the fear of mixing upwith the bummers and gisreputable persons who almost controlled the elections, It was their duty, however, 1o ovorcome this re- pugnance. and the resalt would ue & revolution for the better in Chicago. Mr. Murry Nelson followed with some per- tinent remarks on the method of conducting the campaign 80 88 to carry the election. He strongly urged the respectable men of Chicago to inverest themselves in politics, for by so doing they would help purge the city of its many pres- ent disgraceful features. Things were B8hapin, directly for the success of their ticket, provid they would work with & will. Ald. Spalding gave similar advice, and predict- ed like success if iv was followed. ~ Mr. Greeley showed the disaster which would meet the knock-kneed, new-fangled Democratic party if the public had properly placed before them their little game of repudiation and infla- tion, tban which there was nothing so absurd or cootrary to sound commercial principles. The sgitation of this question had already had the effect of impairing European confidence in the country, and it behooved them to declare withno ancertain sound for nonrepudiation, and thereby restore that confidem‘;@ ‘which was necessary to our prosperity as a nation. Mr. Calking expressed himself confident of a Republican victory thia fall 1f the respectable people would only go to the palls. Several other speeches were delivered, and the meeting adjourned. THE FIFTE WARD. The Republicans of the Fifth Ward mot last evening in Larned’s Hall, corner of Cottage Grove avenne and Thirty-fifth streef, for the purpose of organizing s campaign club. Col.

Ho answered briefly and to the effect that the Hepublican party should not attempt in this campaign to deal with the quastions of temper- ance, the Bible in the public schools, or religion in the State, but shol 4)!1 gnflno itaelf strictly to olitical issues, of whicl ere Were 8o many. pOn motion, & place at the corner of Thirty- first stroet and dun? avenue was selected for bolding the primary election. s On motion of Peter Daggy, the Executive Committee of the ward was requested to furnish 1o the County Board the names of two men from each precinct to act a8 judges m the November elections.

The meet- ing then adjoursed. . THE SEVENTH WARD, The Citizens’ Independent Club of the Seventh ‘Ward is evidently a eickly inatitution. Its mem- bers have tried to hold a meeling three or four times, but each effort has failed. Last evening & few of its leaders gathered together in a ealoon at No. 699 South Halsted street, but, after wait- ing nearly an hour, concluded that the peopls of the had lost all their patriotism, whersupon they adjourned. TENTH WARD. THE . A meeting of the Opposition Club of the Tentb Ward was held at No. 95 Weat Madison street Iast evening. . The Committes appointed at a former meet- ing to select an Execuiive Committes for the Club, reported the following names, and the report was adopted : Thomas Brennan, L. Gough, C. B. Bartlett, W. P.

John Garrick, one of the hundred candidates for Clerk of the Superior Court, then addressed the meeting. He was followed by several other upelksn{(. siter which the meeting adjourned for one waek. THE TWELFTH WARD JEFFERSONIANS. A meetiog of the Jeffersonian Ulub of the Twelfth Ward waa held at No. 503 West Madison street last evening, Capt. Connett, one of Sheriff Agnew's bailiffs, presiaing. The aitendance consisted of eight persons, among whom were H. B. Miller, Joseph Hagan, and several county employes. The resolution of the Jeffersonian Council providing for the calling of a Convention to nom- inate an independent ticket was read, and sub- uently resolutions denouncing the holding of a Convention a5 detrimental to the best inter- ests of the Opposition party were introduced by the Secretary. Mr. Miller was in favor of the adoption of the resolutions, but Mr. Conrtney was opposed, and offered as au amendment that all action in the matter be deferred. The resolutions prevailed finally, when the meeting adjourned for two weeks. THE NINETEENTH WARD, A moeting of the Opposition Club of the Nine- teenth Ward was held at Tarner-Hall Iast even- ing. The attendance was small, and the follow- ing permanent officers were elected : President, Jacob Theilen ; Becretary, Joseph T. Conley. The meeting then adjourned. i POLITICAL GOSSIP. THE MEN WHO WANT OFFICE. T he past week has not been a prolific onein items of local political importance, yet the few that bave come to thesurface are of the most vital interest in the campaigu. The coalition between Hesing and Yon Hollen was a very mild bomb that arrived unexpectedly in the Republican camp, axd it yet remaios to be seen Whether the conlition will not strengthen the Republican party, by putting them on their guard against traftors in their camp. There appears to be plenty of them, and unless they are thoroughly weeded out they may do coneiderable damage. They cannot be distinguished in the political gatherings that occur from time $o time, for they do not assume any leadership; they merely hang around on the outskirts, doing what they can with their vote, and effecting what remains undone, with their pocket-books. Their presence has mot been fairly noticed until within the past few days, but they will eventually turn out in po small num- bers. Their existenco is the natural result of the union betwoen Hesing, & former Republican, and Colvin, who claims to be a loyal son of the samo party. Other Republican leaders of the city administration add to their number, and so it is common at the present time to find ardent sympathisers with the Banb}icln party working tooth and nail for the election of Heang. It has for years boeen a_noticeable fact that a city election was but a ‘poor criterion as to the strength of either of the contesting parties, but in this year's ampliin the disaffoction promises to be still greater. It will not be attogether on the Republican side of the nouse, for Mr. Hesing 2and the candidates supposably sailing uuder his flag have political enemies enough to nearly balance the Republican disaffection on scconnt of personal friendship towards him. Tben, be- gides. there are the political friends of Michael Keeley, 50 that almost suy disaffection on either side will be equally bafsuded until the nomina- tious are made and the tickets made up. The action of the Republican Central Committee yes- terday afternoon in eanmgh s Convention will bave & tendency to hasten the Opposition Con- vention. . THE STBAIGHT DEMOCRATS seem lost. No one thinks of them, and they bardly think of themselves, except when they chance to remember that $1,400 lyiog to the credit of the remnants of their old party. They do not appear to be linking themselves to either side, and might with a littie encoursgement make about as good a showing as the Com- munists did in last fall's election. Above that dignity they can barely sacend, That the candi- dates for all the large offices in the political puddle are wnrkinf 88 hard as they know bow, need hardly be saif ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE Clark Lipe is looking for County Treasurer to write after his name. Tho rumor that he was merely & block to other and stronger candidates was evidently, snd in fact is smown to have been, started by & promivent fricad of the Op- position. He asserts that he will continue o be s candidaie as long a8 he can, and up to the day of election if be secures the Republican nomina- tion. Ald. Dixon, if a candidate, is & wonder- fully quief one. He is looking the ground over, he says, and if he sces a path tothe County “Treasurership, one may set 1t down that Dixon will be & hard mau to beat. = For the Clerkship of the Superior Court Les- ter Coffeen and M. M. Miller continue to run the race almost alone, On the Opposition side of the house the candidates are legion. Ald. Cul- Jerton is ope of the strongest politicians ont for the office, but one can hardly vouch for the truth of it, evep if Cullerton himeelt says so. Heis the worst practical Juker i the Council, and this, too, may be one of his ocenlt jokes. THE JUDGES. For the vacancy in the Cucuit Court, caused by the resignation of Judge Tree, there seems to be 88 yet no prominent names mentioned other than Judge Dickey, the present Counsel to tho Corporation. Quite a number of lawyers no doubt would accept it, but they seem to lack the energy and push that it requires to reach such an oftice. perhaps they, too, are holdiog back for the purpose of overwhelming either party with their reserve power. Judge Gary bids fair to roceive the nomination at the hands of both parties. AMONG THE CITY ELECTIVE OFFICES that of City Attorney is the largest pill in tne box, excepting the City Treasurership. The present incumbent, Egbert Jamieson, is after it, and bids fair to have it all his own way. For Mayor, Mr. Colvin looms up as the very probable candidate on the Opposition ticket with Hesing. For the City Treasurership, Ald. Thomas Lynch would pot hesitate s moment at taking the Re- publican nomination, He is a thoronghly re- sponzible man, snd one well-fitted for the oftice. His opponents will be Bheridan and Dan O'Hara, or Sheridan alone, as O'Hara may be induced to withdraw. For thess offices, 28 with all the lower and ingiguificant ones, the Republican element is not presenting many can- didates. The candidstes are rcarce, and s a consequence interest in the party seems lagging. But now that the date of the Convention has been set, things may bo expocted to take a much livelier turn, and when they do, the Opposition msyafford to take time to look about them- selves, and not rush madly shead as they have been doing. N THE THIRTY DAYS' NOTICE. One of thefallacies that has spread with light- ning rapidity all throughount the city, and has al- y become ug‘%srm‘l,y' rr::urd fih“ 1; seems im- possile to eradi it, is the fallacy of supposib; that in the case of an adverse decision of u:g charter election there can be no election withont the usual thirty-day notice. In yesterday's TeBUNE this fallacy was almost completely ex- ploded in interviews with Mesars. Tuley, A« and Storrs. To add completeness to the record, the views of Judge Dickey and Mesare. Root and Goudy were sought yesterdsy. The three gen- tiemen completely coincided with the views of the former three in the assertion that po notice other than a six-day one, at the farthest, is n to the holding of = general city elec- tion oo K- genernl eloction-day. In this even {s makes no difforsncy whethor the cbarierds- niorrow, exoept that it dofers the usual smount ct political wire-pulliog incident to every cam- paign. ANNOUNCEMENTS. THE STRAIGHT DENOCBATS. At g mass-meetiog of the Democrats of the Couney of Cook beld at the City Hall in Chicago on the 18th of Beptfmber, of which the under- signed was Chairman, & resolution waa passed instructing the Chairman to call a Democratic County Convention to nominate officers to be voted for at the ensuing election. In persuance of that resolution a Democratic Convention will soon be called. The Democrats of each ward in the City of Chicago and County of Cook are therefore earnestly requested to or- ganize Democratio clubs in their respective wards and towns at once, preparatory to select- ing delegates for Buch County Convention, and report the same to the undersigned.

Special wispatoh to The Chicago Tribune, Erem, Ill., Oct. 2,—The greatest indignation is expressed about the article in the Times to- day in regard to Dr. Kilbourne and the Insane Asylum. There is not a man in Elgin who will ssy one word against Dr. Kilbourne or the management ‘of the Asylum. Elgin _bas_spent 830,000 to locate it here.

He 2umped out of a second-story rindow once, sad L took two or more attendants to accompany him whenever he went out. - It is suspected he get fire to the asvlum last spring.

BASE-BALL, A CREDITABLE GAXE, The Chicago and St. Louis Clubs met on the grounds of the former yesterday, to play their eighth game this year, in the presence of about 1,500 people. The Whites, haviag woa the toss, sent their opponents to bat promptly at the hour announced. Pike was the only player whoreached his base, and that was on & bad throw by War- ren. For the Whites, Devlin made a clean hit, after Gleon’s out had been marked, aud Hines followed with & hard one to right field, on which Devlin slipped around to third. Hines at once stole second, and both be and Devlin scared earned runs on Peters' fine hit to right field. In the second, third, and fourth innings the visitors reticed as fast as they came up, Glenn, Poters, " and Hastings doiog excellent work. Bradley, the first striker in the fifth inning, got firat on 8 misjadged fly which Quinn 2ould bave had, but he was forced at second by Hague's hit to Hines. Hague was left, however. In the latter half of the inning Golden led off with & clean hit and went to gecond ou Battin's bad mufl. After Warren had retired on a foul Bielaski hit a hard one to Pearce, which bounded off his wooden legs as though he had been a to- bacconist's sign, and Golden came home from second easily. Bielaski stole second, went to third on & wild pitch, and came home on Glenn's safe hit, making two unearned raus. The only ran made by the 8t. Lenis delegates was in the sixth inning, when Dehlman led off with a clean Lit, and went to secood on Cuth- bert’s bigh fly, which sbould have been captured by Golden. A rossed ball sent Dehlman to third and Cathbert to second, with 0o hand out. Pika then struck three times, and, Hastings having dropped the ball, was forced to send it to first. He put out the striker, but when Glenn returned the ball to home plate to catch Dehl- man he made a wild throw, which allowed the rupner to gcore an unearned ran ana save the side from a whitewash. Inthe eighth inning tbe Whites got in an earned ran after two were out. Devlio put ina fiaegnt und went to second on a passed ball, and came home on Hines’ safe sirike.

Louis failed to bit Devlin’s delivery, The latter, having heard much of the ** parabolic curve,” has invented a delivery of his own, which he calls the ** carbolic curve,” and he should hereafter be known by. that title, to distingmsh him from Bood. Al- though & rigorous system of scoring gives the home club eight errors, yet the only damaging mistakes were a passed ball, a misjudged fly, and one bad throw. The bolk of the work was done by Glenn, Peters, and Hines, and it was really well done, too. The most brilliant play of the game was a catch made by Golden off Hague in the sorently inaing—s plsy which secmed im- poasible untll it was performed. ‘fne star of the visitors was Dehlman, who played a splendid game throughout. He was four times very cleverly assisted by Hague, both playing s hard game without an error. ‘The umpire was satisfactory to the St. Louis- ans, for the reason that he gave two of their men lives, though no_rups resulted therefrom. In the sixth inping Battin should bave been out on a fonl which Hastings canght, but nobody cared about the error, becauea Devlin fielded him out at first a moment afterward. Agam, in the same inoing, the crowd thought Cuthbert should have been out at third becanse he ran out of the path to avord the ball, but since he did not score nobody cared, BECAPITUALATION. > The two Western clubs have now played eight games, of which the Chicagos have won five, a8 shown by the following table: mfn:‘flfl- SLLomlan {aBvoavy ] ETS-THPENS Total.... .46 The eccentricity of the game is ehown in the fact that the Whites, having won five out of eight games, are yet behind in runs made.

RENIEW. Haviog seen the Jast of the professionals of 1875 on the Chicago grounds, it behooves the people who have taken an interest in the game 1o bid them good-by heartily. There are many ‘sifg” that wonld have made a vast dif- ferenco with the success of the nine and chief of these is **if” Higham snd Zettlein had Dever been in the nine it wonid have wou more games. The orgapization asit now stands is composed of hard workers, and men wbo will make & good showing elsewhere. In Devlin and Hastings, the Lomisville Club kas secured a couple of excellent players and gentlemanly men every way. In Hines the Athletics have a good man in any position. FOR NEXT YRAR.

The Galveston News makes merry over the rumor that thag city is to havo s professional nine for next year. The game at Dexter Park to-morrow afterncon will be between the Whites and a vine picked from all of Cook County, and a purse of 3100 will be awarded the winuers. Latham has been expelled from the New Haven club for leaving the Club without s re- lease, and for conduct uchecoming a gentleman and a ball plaver. He has jomned the Tecamseh Club, of London, Ont. It is stated oc good authority that the Red Stocking Base Ball Clab of St. Louis mil enter the arena in 1876 a8 a_reguiar stock company, capital, 5,000 ; shares 810 ; with o Ioard of Di~ rectors and a regular salaried manager. There is some talk of a grand game on the Chicago grounds during Indian summer between tha Bostou and Athletic Clubs to decide & tie. If + such a game were 1\rosf:ly sdvertised throogh- out the West it would draw the largest crowd of the geason. The Boston Advertiser says: “The latest ruwor is that White will not ga to Chicago. On what authority it was started we go not know, but we are afraid there isn't muc® truth in i.” The writer of the paragraph may take his cor- poral oath that there isn’t a grain of trath in any such report. The St. Louis Globe-Democrat has hatched the followir# curious etory. It is #ald that a Western clique has been formed by tho St, Lovis Brown Stockiugs, Chicaga, Lonisvills, +and Cing innatt Clubs, and will ‘also embrace Boston and Hartford. The object of the ring is to break the power of the Athletic Ciub in the Natioual Association and Judlciary Committes next year. A prominent Director of the Browns eays they will also keep the 1 | ‘Allantic, New Haven, Washington, and §t. Lonis Red Stocking Clubs out of the professional srena, The former object, it i to be hoped, will be attaired, but the iden of debarring clubs that have been uusuccess- ful and unfortunate from the sssociation is ridicalous, -and is in no danger of succeeding. — THE TURF.

The Troy Press learns that it is contemplated by the colleze crews—or some of them—to go back to the old atyle and row with a coxswain bereafter. Following is the article : : A Press repocter was recently informed of an en- firely new move in contempiation by the boating:iien of Yale and Barvard Colleges. Itis well known that with them originated ths great racing-matches in thia couatry, and, for a number of years succeeding 1353, they were the only coniestants. Betwoen them tLe battle was very lively, Harvard led off with the first victory in the above year, and it was not until thres years Iater that crews from the two great colleges met, in rough boats, with eight men, Harvardagain assert~ ed ber supremacs, The class Gf men Who wers en- gaRed in the sport did not continue to kevp up the enthusiaam, and up to 1884 ocly five races had been rowed. In thatyear Yale came to the front and bors away the honor that had 50 long slood at Harvard's door. Rowing in light boats had come into vogus, 04 Harvard longed 10 wipe tho atains of defeat from the records, and the six-oar crews came e, and Harvard Xept the lead year after year until Yle raade snother break i 1470, Ever since that defeat baa taken the wator of ‘50me other crew, thotwo Amberst crews winning in 1871 and 1872, followed by Yals, Colambs, and Cornell 1in the succeeding years. The first great regatta was held at Springtteid in 1873, but Harvard's old-time glory seemed to have left ‘her, although there was donbt as to the winning crew. Yalo was st langth iven the victory. From a contest between the great colleges it has come o one between all the leading col leges of America, and as much attention seems to be puid to rowing as to mental culture, at least among & certain class of college men. Now Hi is, in can- Junction with her old rival, contempliting a new ‘move—we say a now move, but it might be called an old one, as it necessitates the going back to tha eight- cared crews. The colleges, we aro_informed, intand 10 withdraw from the association of Americag colleges and horeaftor have the old contest among themseives. The boat 18 o be light, and & coxswain witl be care ried. This will make & race similar to Oxford and Cambridge, and it isno doudt in imitation of those cluba that the change is contemplated, Both of thess crows have studied the English stroke and. style, and if we are to judge from the contemplated change, wo bavo about concluded that our brethren across tho water are the best sportsmen. A few years ago there ‘was no doubt on this polnt, but at the present day there are many Americans who are slowto believe it and are guick to give utterance o this belief, THE INDIANS.
