Cleveland was admitted to represent e Thirtoanth Ward in place of Mr. Campbell, sio has pever attended the meetings of the Commitiee. . ‘Bo Committes on the Address not being quie prepared to report, the Chairman remarked (3 the Committee bad experienced some Aittle . &Gealty in sppointing judges of electionins ez wards. The Chairmag,sSecretary and other gemtlomen bhad done the best they could in-the rater, but sy representstives who felt dissat~ iied might bring the matier before the meeting. The Becretary (Mr. H. T. Birch) read s com- wanication from ths. represontative of the Six- tanth Ward, Coorad Foby, statiog that the paceof holding the election in that ward was {xr removed from its centre, and he suggested it #a0zld be changed to the corner of Larrabes and \Toeeler streets, and that the judges of election ssould be Frank Bensinger, Peter Mabr, sod Lawrence Proudfoot. The Cheirman decided tbat, inasmuch as the rpresentative of the ward was not present when . Committes took action io this gard, it was oscesary to have s vote of reconsiderstion. Boveral gentlamen objected to the change, Mr. Sipmsn objecting to Peter Mabr oo the ground {at be waa elected Alderman on the Opposition ticket. Mr. Foby, after some discassion, withdrew @o pumes of thbe judges and pressed the thange of the volng place. M. Shipman moved as an amendment that the place of holding the election in the Bixtesnth ‘Ward thoid be fized at the corner of Centre snd Larrabes streets. ‘The amendment was carried. Mr, Clevesnd, of the Thirtesnth Ward, called sttention to the fact that their polling-place was pablished at No. 719 West Madisonstreet, where- ssit shoald have been No. 779. The correction ‘was made. Mr. Warren, Becond Ward, suggested that the polling-place should be st the corner of Fifth svenue and Van Buren street. Adopted. Onmotion of Mr. Scharlan, the polling-place of the Fifteenth Ward was fized at Chicago sve- =i, E. Nisderschinidt, judge of the election of the Fiftesnth, was reported as sttending the Coovention of the Opposition party. Hi s therefore stricken off, and that of A. C. Toe polliog-place of the Bixth Ward was fired :hhe soutbeast corner of Halstod snd Archer reane. Mr. Best was sdmitted as the representative of the Sixth Ward in the place of Mr. Bonfield.

The addross was znaaimously adopzed. PLACE QF HOLDING THE CONVENTION. The Chairman eaid it had been suggested that some other piace beside the Council Chamber shonld be procpred for the Convention. On motion of Mr. Cloufih the call was ordered cbanged to McGormick Hall. Messrs. Clongb, Gill, ana Mtler wero appointed a committee to secure that ball. Tiveee The time for holding the primaries in Cicero was changed from5 to 7p. m. The polling lacs of the Townof Lake was fixed at the R‘nwn Hall. The Committee then sdjonrned. et T REPUBLICAN MEETINGS. THE FOURTH WARD. A meeting of the Fourth Ward Republican Club was3 held last night at Room 6 Central Hall Blo.k, coraer of Wabash avenue snd Twenty- second strest. Col. Daniel A, Jones oocupied the chair, and there was & large attendance. Oa motion the Executive Committee were in- stracted to report eight delegates Monday o be voted for at the primaries. o Mr. A. J. Galloway offered the following, which was unanimously and cordially passed : Resolved, That it is the sanse of this meeting that the thanks of all honest cifizens and tazpayers of Cook County are due toJ. H. Clough, Eag., for the able and fearless manner in which he had represented thelr in- terests in the County Board for the last three yeare. Mr. Clough briefly expressed his thanks for this indication uf confidence, and stated he had simply endeavored to £i1fill bis duty to the tax- payers and himself in all his actions on the County Board. B An informal discussion on the condnct of Re- publicaus at the polls followed, Mr. Greeley, Mr. Spalding, Murry Nelson, and Mr. Clough taking part. The latter gentleman said the Op- position ticket would receive tha support of all Professional contractors, who wers iakiog the Tmoney out of the public treasury by thonsands, and reputable citizens should use all their en- ergics to defeat the party which would protract the reign of bummensm and corruption in the ity. ; :{‘ha meeting adjourned to Saturday evening. THE TENTH WARD. The Repnblican Club of the Tenth Ward meat 1sst evening in Justice Salisbury’s office, No. 145 Madison street. Ald Clark presided. There was a slight attendance. Various remarks were made informally by the gentiemen present. Reference was made by Mr. Enox to the rumors afloat concerping the Dolt of the gambling element of the Opposition party. It wassaid that the gamblers openly declared their intention to stufl the ballot-boxes, and run in Tom Foley for Clerk of the Superior Court. He sdvised the Republicans to be on their goard, and take measuras to secure a fair election, He moved that an Executive Commit- teo bo sppointed to look after the Tenth Ward palls on election day. - "After some discussion it was decided to post- pone the appointment of en Executive Com- mittes until the first meeting after the Conven- tion. The meeting thon adjourned for one week. THE ELEVENTH WARD. The Bepublican Ciub of the Eleventh Ward met last evening at No. 235 West Lake street. The Hop. Willism Weyman occuped the chair, and H. D. Jennings acted as Secretary. On motion of Ald. George White, 8 commit- tee, consisting of Ald. White, A. Ramsdell, Maj. Rotshauser, R. Henderson, and H. Martin, was appointed 1o nominate a1 Executive Com- mittee. The Committee. after a short absence, report- ed the following officers: Vice-Presidents, J. H. Rotshauser. C. A Matson, and P. H. Stan- ton ; Treasurer, B. Henderson § Executive Com- toitiee, John Gettieson, Jobi L. Patterson. ‘Alonzo Ramsdell. Jobn Gutgesell, H. H. Mar- tin, Heory Gales, and A. M. Kenzie. On motion of Mr. Henderson, the Executive Committes was instructed to provide s printed List of delegates to the County Convention. Some discussion followed in regard to tho place of holding the primary meeting, and it was finally decided to hold it at the corner of West Lake and Ssogamon etreets. 2 On motion, the Executive Committee waa in- structod to suggest the names of men suitable for delegates to the Convention. 3 The Committee reported the mmfinifi which were_adopted : Geclga E. White. R. ender- son, John Gatgesell, James Quigley, and A. B. Wkitney. The meeting then adjourned. THE FOURTEENTE WARD. The Fonrteenth Ward Republicsos had a very full meeting last evening in Benz's Ball, No. 786 West Lake street, William Williams in the chair. TUpon pomination of B. G. Gill. Jsmes N. Clark was elected Second Vico-Presideat in place of sames Flood, who had connected himself with the Opposition party. A committee of five was appointed to sucgest the names of the Delegate Committes to be elected at the pnmary meeting Monday, The Committee reiired, and Senstor W. W. Woodard made a speoch, during the course of which he denounced the illegality by which pub- lic officers drew more salaTy the statate al- lows them. He then tarnsd hus attentien to A. C. Hesing. Now the law allowed the Treasurer #4,000 per vear, and no more ; or $8,000 for two years. The elecdon of Mr. Hesing would encour- sge Traasurers tolend the public mooey for their privaty gain, which custom was dangerous and demorahzing. ‘Anciher objection to Mr. Hesing was that he publiciy procisimed that he carried 16,000 Ger- mman votes in his bresches pocket, to bo cast wherever he desired them. and Mr. Woodard was opposed upon principle to any man who made such & boxst, no master what his nationali- ty might be, It was Koow-Nothingism of the worat sort. Another objection to Mr. Hesing was that he displayed insincerity in his reasons for leaving the Ropublican party, with which he had acted for so many yeszs. He bad said that he left the Reputlioan ~ party when the Cradit-Mobilier scandn! cams out, but this was not so. Mr. Hesivg's memory seemed to be deficient in the matter of dates. He had worked with the Re- publicsn party for a long time after that iven by himsalf a8 the period of his departurs from it. ‘The Credit-Mobilier acandal came out early in 1872 yet Mr, Hesiog supported and voted for Grant after that time. Another objection to Mr. Hesing was his waot of_judgment as a political leade, as shown in his selection of candidates, After giving atsome length the reasons why he sup) rted the Re- publican party, Mr. Woollard took his seat. The Commitzee, having returned, presented the following pames for the delegaws ticket : B. G. Gill, James Quirk. Jobn Benz, A. F. Bradley, Willism Williams, T Z. Cowles. _8. M. Booth objected to a committes nomina- ting a delegate ticket. It looked too much like ring work. He did not wish to bo understood as casting any refloctions upon the intcgrity or tba honesty of the nominating committec, or upon the men whose names they suggrestod, but he wished to oppose the principle of committeo nominations, They ehould be left to the prima- 1y meetiog: 3 J. C. Haines and Alderman Gill explained that the committee merely suggested the names, and that they could bo accepted or rejected by the primary meeting on Monday. 0. 3. Dixon movea that it be declared that the sense ot the meeting was in favor of a straight Republican ticket. After some discussion, the ‘motion was carried. The meoting then adjourned, subject to the call of the President. THE FIFTEENTH WABD. Thers was a meoting of the Republicans of the Fifteenth Ward, at 20+ Rucker street, last avening. A.W. Raffen, Presidont of one of the .wacd clubs, took the chair. John Barzyoski was chosen Secretary pro tem. Mr. Dwyer rose and said he represented s Re- publican clubat tholower end of the ward, They did not think the list of names snggested last evening for delegates to the County Conven- tion did gu!tioe to th‘:r portion of the ward, In ‘behalf of that club, he desired fo suggest the name of thoir President, P. T. Prendergast, as one of the delegates, Unless some change was made, he feared that an oppasition would out- Vote at the primary meeting the list as it stood. Mr. James Malone made a rounsing speech. He was not awere that thera was anotber Republican club in the ward befors. Ho was happy to know it. The wishes of that club should be respected. Let there be no divaion in the raoks. They peedoed to preserve harmony. Ee hoped the list would bs revised. 1 After discussion, the action of last evening in regard to delegates was reecinded, and it was Yoted that a committee of fiva be appoioted to revise the list pronosed for delegates. Messrs. Sholz, Dwyer, White Barzynski, and Lovering were appointed such Committee. They retired for consultation, and. while out, the meoting was addressed by Mr. E. Thompson. He urged the importance of the present cam- paign, the evils tbat would follow the triumph of the Opposition ticket, and the importance of hard work and harmonious action among Repuk- licans, in order to avert such a calamity. The Committeo soon returned and presented the names they bad agreed on as proper dele- ates to the County Convention, a8 follows : A. W. Raffan, Christopher Schulz, Edward Thomp- son. P. T. Prendergast, P. Kiolbasea, and — Quaid. One name was left blank. The report was sccepted, aod _the Executive Committee was suthorized to fill the vacancy. Tho meeting then a3journed. THE BIGUTEENTE WARD. The most orderly and respectable political meeting ever held in the Eighteenth Ward was held last evening at No. 65 Chicago avenue. It was a meeting of the Republicane of the ward to organize and select candidetes for dslegates to be wvcted for at the primaries Monday evening. The contrast between tbe howk ing mobs which usually compose the Opposition mestings and the well-to-do, honesi-tooking, and orderly persons constitating tbis one was as great as is the difference between day and night. The crowd was not large, but still there were somo forty persons present. which is unusually good for tho Eighteeath Ward. Besides, some seventy or eighty persons had gono to attend the meeting at West Twelfth Streat Turner-Hall, who otherwise would also have been present. A band enlivened the occasion with lively airs. The meeting was called to order by Mr. Jobn S. Mallins, who stated that it was time for the Republicans of theward to orgavize, and, if they acted barmoniously and wisety, they would ua- doubtedly sncceed in polling s larger Republican vote in the Eighteonth Ward thau ever before. On motion, Mr. Mullins was elected tempo- raty Chairman, and George L. Wood snd Ed- ward F. Lee temporary Secretaries. Op motion of Mr. B. J. Michaels, the follow- ing Committeo was appointed to nominate per- manent officers: B. J. Michaels, Jobn Samson, and J. H. Welch, Lfter a short deliberation the Committes re- portod the following gentlemen for permanent officers of the Eighteenth Ward Repablican Club: Presilent—John 8. Mullins, Vice-Presidents—The Hon. C. G. Linderborg and Justice A. K. Robineon., Secretaries—C. F. Pefersen and John Samson. I'reasurer—Jobn A, Enander. Erecutive Commitise—Fred Mublke, Joseph Ru- doiph, Robert Enight, John Lavine, C, £. Holenberg, B. J. Michsels, James Donahos, George L. Wood, and Edward F. Lee. The report was unanimously adopted. On motion of Mr. Austio Gibbons the follow- ing Committee was appointed to designate cao- didates for dolegates : Austin Gibbons, George L. Ward, B. J. Michaels, Edward F. Lee, Thomas W&]{h_ o Committee nominated the following can- didates for delegates to the Republican County Convention, to bo voted for at the primary clec- tion Monday eveniog: Thomas Wells, Fred Borman. Austin Gibbons, C. G. Linderborg, and Edward F, Lee. The report was adopted. On motion of Mr. Ssmpson, it was decided that when the meeting adjourn it be until Mon- day evening, at 8 o'clock, on the nortbwest cor- ner of Sedgwick street and Chicago avenue. The Chairman then introduced Mr. Atwater, the President of the Tryentieth Ward Republic- an Club, who said be had not come to make a spoech, bot e was glad to see such respectable gatbering, although he would have liked to have Bseon a larger crowd. Hohoped they would take the same interest in tbis election as if city of- ficers were also to be chesen. There was con- siderable at stake, and it was important to tho B:Enb)imn party becanse since the great fire it had yielded its organization, and almost lost its 1dentity, and it was time to organize now for pext year's campaign. The Opposition party was bat a mongrel organization and would soon ceaso to exist, while the Republican Efi-fl’ would live for yearato come. The man . 0'Bnien who nominated Mr. Hesing for County Treas- urer in the Opposition Convention had been but- 2 fow months in the city and knew pothing about local affairs, and he re- commended bis candidate because he had dons more tban apy other man in the city to break op the Repoblican party. He remem- bered well when Hesing came to the city, poor 88 & church-rat. and 8ooD after got a position a5 bailif. He then became a strong Republican, and was elected as Sheriff, in which position hs acquired the wealth with which he purchased the Staats-Zeitung and his influence. He remained a good Republican as long as he could get hus friends in tho fattest offices, and what kind of men he got in was best shown by ex-Shenf Fischer and ex-County-Clerk Salomog. As soon a8 he could run the party which made him no longer, he turned around and joined tbe enemy, and was now running them a8 be did the Repub- lican party before. Hesing claimed to have left the Republican party because it bad bacome cor- rupt, when the fact was the Republican party had Joft him. The day would soon come Wwhen he wonld slso go back on the party which bad now taken him up. F ‘At the conclusion of Mr. Atwater's speech the meeting adjourned. ———— KEELEY’S FRIENDS, MASE-MEETING AT TCRNER HALL. A largely-attended Keeley meeting of citizens of the Eighth Ward was held io Turner Hall, on West Trwelfth street, last evening, at which considerabla enthusiasm was manifested. Mr. Michael McCanley was chosen Chairman, and David McCarthy Secretary. ¥ O taking the chair, Mr. McCauley said that it was something new for him to be in politics, and he had not participated therein for some ten years past. This was a country of honest men, but thers were a few dishonest Opnes SmMODE them. They were here to talk of corruption, = a very dull subject to talk about. All their of- fice holders were corrupt, from Grant down. Patience had cessed to be a virtue in Chicago, When honest men wonld not take part in pat- ting down corruption they were partially to blame. Read the papers sod sse how bad the men were who were in office, snd how much Worse thoss wero who were seeking office. The speaker sought 0o offict, and ooly zsked to walk in the rank as a private, sud help to put down corruption and pus sooest men into public office. It was every man’s wterest to put GOOD MEN IN OFFICE, and the people knew the class who wers now be- fore the public zeeking office.. A man was nomi- nated Fridsy who bad made indefinits promises to put down corruption. This was A. C. Hesing, Boss Hosing. He hud nothing to say againct him, but the bummers who nominsted him. If he was the friend of the Irish, lot him go to Ire- land. Hie hearers were Americans. This soph- istry waa all wroog. They were Americans when they came bere. Yesterday that lymfi Irishman from Peoria smd ia odnvention that Hesiog was » friend of the Irish. He stigmatized O'Brien 358 lar. The speakar was in this city in 1867, Shen Siebert was killed, and he knew the part that Hesing took in that. What was in iy THE NAME OF O'BRIEN. He knew of negroes mamed O'Brien. Let O'Brien's actions prove what he was. O'Brien was a lylpg bummer, and he (the speaker) called him so. The publio woald bave to take care of Hesing 88 of other corruptionists. Hesing woa no friend of the Irish. He might get a few Irish bummers petty ofiices. The lrish sought no such fries p. They sought and courted the good will' and friendship of the American peo- ple; and they would respect the Celtic race all the more, if the low Irish Hesiog had putio office baa never come here. They left their country for their country's good. g He had no desire to bart anybody, butaman who had only lived 1n Chicago eight months bad Do right to 8ay that Boss Hesing was the friend of the lrish. This wasa base lie. He bad nothing to ssy of these corrupt fellows except to leave them in that oblivion to which they would be doomed by the people. Keeley bad no support in the convention, whicl was concocted in Chicago saloone. 4 The speaker Leld that Keeley was a man de- serving of office, 8s DO Iman could pointtoa blemish on his charsoter. The Chicago ring was far more corrupt than was the great Tammany one under Boss Tweed in New York. If the candidates Who were now running on the Oppo~ sition ticket wers electod, it was likely that they wonld bring up in State's Prison. - Billy O'Brien was a drunken, lying bummer, aod be (the spesker) was not afraid_to publcly say it. ‘Lhe firat chent he had in Chicago was & thieving renegads Catholic priest, aud, 88 yesterday's Conveution proved, his chients bad not improved any sines, MB. JAMER GOGGINE next speaker, who advocated Mr. Keeley's candidacy on an indopendent tickot. The political condition of Chicago was such that it requited every honest voter to come out, and at the ballot box prevent the further eucroach- ment of the Ring. He paid his compliments 50 Mr. A. C. Hesing muchin the style of the pre- vioas speaker. %u said the people ought to sup- rt Mr. Keeloy, who bad some other business E:aidea ‘being & professional politician. *Hesiog was nominated by 300 hired men placed 1a & convention. The judicial ermine was Jowered by the ticket placed 'in the field by the Opposition, in order to mislead _honest voteis. The Germans were opposed to Hesing becanse b perverted their support, and the Irsh would not support a Bismarck. There were somoe Re- blicans who must support or fail with pim. o alluded to tho County Treasury and the re- marks made by Mr. Wodard a week ago yes- terday, and he thought that these remarks were true, as they were mada by & stanch Rapublican, who could have bad no ul:erio motive in view. E. AICHAEL KEELEY, being Toudly calied for, appesied on the stage and thenked the meeting for the hearty vecep- tion accorded him. He then detailed tle man- par m which Mr. Hesiog was nominated, and how he (Mr. Keeley) was cheated out of 8 chance for the nomination, all of which hss heen previouely iulli given in THE TRIBUNE. The apportionment, be said, was made by his opooneot’s eon, and was nofair in representa- tion. If it bad been fair he (Keeley) would have stood » chauce in Convention. He was re- solved, if elacted, to work againat the 1iog, and if not available, he ssked the people to unite and put Jown this political tyranny ruliog over them with an iron hand, and wipe ont Hesing and his entire ring horde. It was with these purposes in view that he would work Zealously for sn independent ticket. No tyrant can hold any nation in bis grasp, aod such insolence aud impudence should be nurled back to the tyraut’s teeth. [f elected, he would try to perform the duties of office,—not a8 OWo- er, but 88 a servant of the people. OTHEE SPEZAKERS. Mr. D. P. Gook was next called for, and made 2 brief speech in bebal! of reform, snd in ad- vocacy of the nommation of Mr. Keeley for the ofico of County Treasurer, sod 2n judependent ticket in opposition to the Ring. He held that every one had a duty to porform withont regard to party. and -to elect independent and honest e to office, in order to rid the city and county of the despotism of ringe. Mr. Jobn Evright fcliowed Ar. Cook, and held ' that Mr. Heaing wanted the office to bolster up his finances, oud for that reason they ought to locs bim to siay at home. His motive wvlasst was suspicious, and voters should rise agains, any man who waoted sn ofiice to pay his debts. Hesing was trying to ride two horses, and there- fore not to be trusted. He thought tbat after she 2d of November Mr. Keeley would deserve the name of ** Ring smashet.” Hesing’s nomi- nation wes made by & few men. It required tae union of voters to give this movement strength and kill the Ring. i Mr. Johu Bmeltz was next introduced and spoke briefly. He said there was now no safe- guard at the ballot-box to prevent etaffiog ex- cept the honesty of voters. He then read the Tesolutions published in yesterdsy's TRIBONE, wag the “which were npsnimonsly adopted, after which the meeting aajourned, with thres rousing cheers for Keeley. * L —— THE INDEPENDENTS. THE TENTH WARD, A small meeting of Independents was held 1nst evening in Juatice Morrison's offics, on the corner of Halsted and Monroe streets. Mr. Elrig was Chairman. Some indecision seemed to be marifested in regerd to the obfects of the organizstion, sud the Secrotary read the constitution forthe bene- fit of those who were ignorant. A general talk ensued upon the usual subjects of interest-—the Opposition Convention acd its results. . The Chairman stated that st the nexi meeting would be discussed the propriety of geiting out an Independent ticket. Tnevoapon the meeting adjourned urtil Wed- nesday evening. THE TWELFTE WARD. There was s large meeting of the Indspendent voters of the Twelfth Ward at 313 Indisna street last avunln{‘ 1t was called by those opposed to the domination of Mr. Hesing in local' politics and in the interest of Mr. Michael Eeeley for County Treasurer. Mr. Patrick Meanshy was chogen Chairman, snd Mr. John Clapp Secretary. Mr. Harris stated the object of the meeting. It was to oppose Mr. Heeing and ‘avor Mr. Keeloy for County Treasurer, Hesing was no friend to Irishmen, and there was no resson why Irishmen shonld support him. He belisved that the election of Hesing woula result in another Gugo defalcation. His financial condtion was notoriously poor, and he wanted to get is bands into the Treasury to repair it. Mr. Keeley was introduced amia great ap- planse. He eaid as he appeared as in Inde- pendent candidate it waa proper thag s should define his- position. He believed thit Wash Hosiog, a8 Chairman of the Oppositon Com- mittee, had manipulated the Opposition party in his father’s interest. A fair representition had not been given to many of the watls. Sixth, Seventh. Eighth, and Nioth Warls polled one-third of the party vota, but they waae given only forty delegates. Thirts-six delegries were given fire smoll wards. Ten towns that bad twenty delegates polkd 120 votes. Mr. Keeley said be hal gone before the Commuttee and protested apinst the injustice. He had been denied a hearirg, snd a [* rovision of the delegation was refused. Under such circumstances be did not deem it wise to go into the Convention at all, bat t+ sppeal durectly to the peorle. He believed ths feople would throw off party tyranoy. If the peonle ‘were Op] to one-maa rule, to disfranchise- ment and frand, they would refuse to eect Hes- ing, who occupied tho pasition of digator to political parsies. He, Keeley, was in e fiold with a view to overthrow the corruptionexisting in the City Government, and if eleted he Eladqeg bis earnest efforts in that behdlf. Ar. eeley's speech was received with uproarious applause. Mr. E. F. Cook followed. He etlogized Mr. Keeley as an able and honest man. Hesing's career gays no evidence of business eapacity. He waa poor ia pocket, which would not be the case if hehad tke requisite amount of canacity to hold an important public offim. < He de- the sorrupt rings that were cursing the oity, and demsnded that they be abolished by the election of Mr. Keeley. Mr. J. J. Fitzgfbbon was the next speaker. and he went at the business in hand with great vigor and effect. His excoristion of Hesing was terribly severs, snd the more he denounced him the more he was chesrad by the audience. He declared that the resalt of his eleotion wonld be bad government. The substance of the peovle would be wasted, prop- erty would depreciste, the public enterprises that give employment to workingmen would be discontinued. Ths great point now was to wake up the peaple to a sense of their danger, and fn- duce them to vote for honest men. The people knew Mr. Keeley. He had been Treasurer. ‘When his term expired he lefc the office, having given universal satisfzction. When he went out. of office he had a large amount of money 1n his hands. It was during the War, and he could have put & hxie sum in his own pocket by turning over the amount in carrency. But he gave the city the bensfit wbich he might have :nmu‘i to his own profit. Of course, Mr. Fitzgibbon's plan to secure honesty aud equare dealing in county affairs was to make Alr. Keoley "Treasurer, and his audience was in most hearty accord with him™ At this point in the edings the epesch- making was interrupted in order to perfeot the organization of #n Independent Club. Jobo J. Kenpedy twas erected President, Patrick Mornehy Vi :e-President, and Jobn Clapp Secre- tary nod Treasurer. The paper was passed around for signatares, and 125 names were ge- cured in a short time. The mesting broke up with immense enthusi- asm for Keeley, which was just equivalent to the enthusiasm against Hesing. THE FIFTEENTE WARD. A mesting of the Indeceadont voting citizens of the Fifteenth Ward was held last night at No. 55 Waubansia avenue. The oall was jssued in- viting all those opposed to official corruption and Ring tyranny to be present, and a very re- spectable sized crowd responded. Mr. J. Dalton presided. and after & few speeches by M easrs. Davis, Daiton. aud Dr. Ourran. expressiog the sense of the meeting ‘o be opposition to Hesivy and the Opposition partv, and favoring s Union ticket of cll the good cand-dates, the following resolutions were offersd by Mr. 8. Davie, and unanimously adopted. Resoived, That this meeting views with alarm the widespread irxmorality that baa eatered into the pub- 1§ affairs of the City of Chicago =nd of Cook Couuty, Resolved, That we 09 nol consider the man who has all tho criminal classes gathered around himto be o At and proper peraon to act as Treasurer of this County. Resoived, That wo tender Mr. Michael Esoley, our earnest stpportin bis nominstion for the county Tceasuyership, and have every condence in his integ- ity and finaycinl ability. Itesolsed, That we favor » uaion ticket of all good citizens opy 0 the cozrupt ring which has proved iisolf recreant to the pubiic trust snd of which A. C. “Hesing is the leader and chief. NO MRETING. A mass-megting of the citizers opposed to official corruption snd ring tyranny was adver- tised to be held at Lonergan’s Hall, corner of Polk and Margan streets, ast evening, at which the *‘silent and mysterious Mark Sberidan™ would sposk. Owing to some unexpiained cir- cumstance the meeting failed to convene as ex- pected, neither aid Mark or other silvery- tongued orators put in an appearance. About 8 o'clock Wash Hesing was seen fintteriog aboat the neighborhood, bus ke speedily became in- visible, likewise tho inconsiderable nnmber of supnorters of the McCormick Hall ticket, who were early on (lis_ground 1n expectation of elo- queacs, etc. At 9 o’clock it became evident thad nothing would bo done, when the hall was sur- rendered to vacancy and darkness. psdasz A GENERAL SURVEY. THE SUPREXE COURT CLERESHIP. That Opposition hulk seems doomed to be bat- tered to picces oo the rocks that abound 1n the deep polisical eea. Its crew are so extremely enort-sighted that, in sbeering around one rock, they anconsciously bump against the sacceeding ane, and thus already they have mapaged to damage the craft 8o materially that at least one- helf their crew have become matinous, and have demaodea to be landed on the very nekt ground they strike. They have even defled Mr. Hesing, and have threatened to pitch him into the sea. And all this fuss is the result of the elavation of 5 man to the position of mate who could not gamble, nor mix an clegantly-colored whisky~ cocktall. For these ressons slome have they rebelled against Mate Finerty, sod have threat- ened to bounco the Captain for not bouncine the mate. The departure of Keeley from the rotien hulk was the first of the defection, and it has beon closely foilawed by the defection of Tom Toley and fhe gambling intsrests which were Lis chief aids, io his attompt to secuve the mate's berth, which Finerty foond just suited him. In tho Conveotion held for the nominations they claim they wero ontsounted by the Secrotaries, and tbat Finerty was creditec with the vote which was polled for Foley. The Aldermen who were Folev's chief backers in the Conven- tiou are in a tarrible commotion about the mat- ter, and cbarge the trick upon Jorry Crowley, ho voluntarily assisted McGratb in the Secre- tarvahip, aud assign a8 & reason his determina- tian to get even with the Council for not giving him their votes for the position of Police Court Clerk. to which the Mayor nominated bim some time ago. In proof of the aseertion that there was ap error in the count or snnouncement of the vote they briog forward Q. B. Galvin, & _re- porter of the Inter-Ocean, West Chicago Dau- 1els, Barney Caulfield and & friend. Jobn Cor- coran, and many othors. Ald. Corcoran as- perts that when he asked the Becretary for the result, just previous to the an- nouncement, he was told to wait a moment, 83 thore was an error of ten votesin the count. The evidences brought forward by the other witnesses is merely the couats which each of them individually kept as the vote was polled. Singularly enough none of them agree, 50 that the prospects of proving anything ou this point is exceedingly remote, especially as it was not oven mentioned by any one in the Convention. Nevortheless, Foley's backers are kicking most tremondously, 8ud, in their ire, they roundly curse the officers of the Conventiop, and Crowley in particular. So confident ate they of & mis- count, they will bring the matter before an early meeting ,of the Opposition Cen- tral Committes, and endeavor to chaoge the nomination by oroving fraud. Failing in thia, it ishard to tell what they will do, and should they succeed, they koow very well it would matorially Gamage the prestige of the party in the campaign. Andso between the iwo dilemmas they scarcely know what te do, and in the meantime they circulate about Foley's place on Clark atroef aod amuse them- Belves by seeing who cad kick ‘bardest and long- est, and when thev tire of this they abuse and vow veogeance on Heaing. One of tho chief subjects of their tirades i8 Egbert Jamieson, the City Attorney, but their accusations of fraud so far as Ee isconceroed will never 2monnt to much. He merely acted a8 teller in the Convention, aud did not and oould pot keep count of the number of votes. He attended solely to the announcemeut of the Yotes aa they were polled. So farss the other two, McGrath and Crowley, are implicated, there is abaudance of proof that the count was correct, and it will bo forthcoming at the proper time. REPUBLICAN OANDIDATES. A At the gathering of prominent Republicans in the Grand Pacific Hotel Exchange yesterday 4 ftarnoon, after the Central Committee adjourn- ed, the leading conuidrum was. ** ‘Who ghall we mnomioate for County Treasurer who can beat Hesiog?" And it was asserted by some that no ons of those who were mentioned in the papars conld succeed. and tho candidate must be s man of the strictest integ- rity and oue who has all the essential clements of popularity about him. Louis Wah!'s pamo waa whispered, but it was understcod be would Dot tun. Then George Sctneiger, Esq.. Presi- dent of the National Bank of Illinois, was eng- gested, but eome _oue eaid he had {een interviewed, sua although he waa desirous of having Hesing defeated he would ot allow his pame to go before the Convention Taesday. Another gentieman brought forward the name of Jobn B. Shermen, 2od nrged that an Ameri- can should be nominsl But he, too. was thought not available, and finally, after much talk, Bome one ceme in with the naae of Lonis Huck, the well-known North Side maltster, who is so popular and well known amoog the Germans, whose standing in the business ity is _considered excel- jent. It was ssid by a prominent and infineptial_member of the Cen Commlt~ tee that Mr. Huck had consented to rup, and would use his means and endeavors to defeat his opponent, but Mr. Huck was yet to be seen, and porhaps when tho Cocvention meets be wmil Toako way for a till stronger map.

THE NOMINATIONS OF THE OFPOSITION PAET %o appesr to have giveo the politicians around fg\n County Building very limited satisfaction. To them thera is only one virtaein the ticket, andthat is the nominations for the Judiclary. Thie, bow- ever, is mitigated by the reflaction that theticket contains the name of but one Dsmocrat, Judge MoAliister. _No one could be found who had s unalloyed admiration for the tickct, but the sarprise was general how the names of such re- epectable meu as McAluster and Gary secured the approval of such a mob. THE IRISH were more than satiafied, 80 far s their interest in their pationality was concerned, but on the other ha they were inclined to grumble at ths selections made, on the ground that they were not rapresentative men, etc. Agsinst Hesing, individuslly, very few mutterings were heard, but acveral who have heratofors been his advccates openly said that thay would not support the ticket. Buch expres- ¢lons came from old-time Democrats, who based their objection to the ticket on the ground that ic was purely Ropublican, and the result of an agreement between Hesiog and some traitors in the Bepublican pmz, They oreferred to sup- port a straight Republican ticket any such a compromuse, individnal affair, and lared that they would go do if the Democrats falled to put a ptraight ticket in the fleld. The comments npon the NOMINATIONS FOR COUNTY COMMISSIONERS were free ouzaide of the “'ring.” and every ome, while confossing the natural weakreas of eo much of the ticket, regarded it sa a triomph of the “ring,” which had been wrought by the hearty co-operation of present and prospective contractors with the county. It was nlleged by those who are in position to know, that the nomination of Schultze, Cleary, Mulloy, Craw- ford, and Clough was tho work of such men as Periolat, Hogan, Kimberly. Agoew, and Roun- troe. Schultzo is at present a contractor with the county :indirectly, if not directly, and be was given the place of Russell, it is said, becanse shrewd ¢nough to render valuable assistance in perperuating the ‘‘ring."a faculty that Mr. Bussell did Dot possess, though acquisscing uniformly in the “ring" work. Crawford was nominaf also the instance of tho “rigg,” to which he has proved faithfal servant, _ motwithstanding thatat times je has beon known to be seized with spasms of rectitude. His opponent, Mr. Puschek, an ald Democrat, puts the case ve! plainly by saying that the resson he (P\uobog was noé nominsted was ho bad not mouey enongh to buy the deiegates. That Crawford wined 2nd dined his delegates after the Conven~ tion in & neighboring bassment saloon, ho will gcarcsly deny. HULLOT, it is enid, is Agnew’s man, and if he comes into the Board it is desigoed that_he shall take posi- tion on the Commit:ee on Jail and Jail Accounta. Agnew is sud to have mads his predictions in advance that he would be strenzthencd in the Board. and Mulloy was consequently taken from his office to carry & point very dear to his pocket in the matter of dieting yrisoners—that 18, to put the price back from 85 to 50 cents per dav. The “ring” supported Mulloy, aa also did jno contraciors apd Lemont stone men, wany of whom bad seats in the Conveuticn as delegates. COL. CLEARY is als0 regarded as the nominee of the *ring. and the placae selected for him is that now occa- pied by- Commissioner Clongh on the Pubitc Bnilding Committee. He bad a tight pull, not- withstsnding his backing, to get chrougb, but. rather than that he should fafl, it is genarally believed he would have een counted in as the nominee by the county ** ring The nominativn of Conly is well understood 88 & trade between an opponent and the Board “1ing," and the result of an understanding,too, between the Lemont stone men. On the wholo the ticket is regarded as a weak one to present for the suflrage of Democrals, and one easy to be beaten at the polls, —— MISCELLANEOUS. THE JEFFERSONIANS. The Jeffersovian Council attempted to hold an adjourned meeting laat evening at the Sher- man House, but,on account of & misunderstand- icg as to the time to which the adjournment was had, a quornm was wanting. The President and Secretary occupied their sccustomed seats, and fifteen of the old-school were scattered abont them, beside a large dele- gation of aoxious spectators who had been deawn bither in the interest of the Opposition ticket, and to work for its adoption by the Councit. The first movement waa on the part of Roun- tree, who moved an adjonrnment until Nov. 10. He spoke to tha motion, commending the Oppoaition ticket, the decorum and respeotabil- 1ty of the Couvention that nominated it, and the principles underlying the cause. 3. R. Doolittle, Jr., was opposed to adjourn- ing. He did not kuow whether the gentleman bad made the motion as President of the Op- tion Convention, or es s member of the oo Clup, or as & member of the Council. r. Rountree—l make the motion a3 & dele- gate from the Twentieth Ward, elected by the pa&plm i r. Doolittle continued in opposition to ad- jouroment, calling attention to the fact that the ‘Couucil had been formed for political purposes, and that adjourniog at this time to a date ante- Tior to the election, espscially since there was not a quornm present, would amount to its dis~ solution. Before taking bis seat, he offfred as an amendment that. when the Council adjourn, at nomination of & Very surong and ynaxeeptinn- able candidate for the Treasurership, 83 unleas that was done & contest was ussless. JUDGE GARY. The following, which was. circulated yestarday, has been signed by all the Bank Presiaents, the insurance ofiicers, 250 members of the Bosrd of Trade, and all the leading ‘merchants and mana- facturers of the city : Chies Justies of tha Superior The Hom. Joseph E. Gart 54 anders ‘business men in the City Sia: We, thes un of Chicago, taks this means of expressing our carnest desire that you ah candidsts it be until Wednesdsy evening. Gen. Sherman took the floor, and in a few well-timed remarks rebuked the conduct of Rountres, and informed him that he could not cram the Opposition ticket down the Jeffer- sonian Clab in any such way, and that if bo was secking to secure the support of the Counoil for the ticket with which his interests wers allied, he wonld have to adopt some other meana than a0 exhibition of euch barefaced impudence. Miles Kehoe snid the motion of Rotniree was out of order, and that thers being no quorum' present, it rested with the Chair to adjourn the Council to such time as he saw it. After some farther speechifying the Chair an- nounced the Conncil acjourned until Wednesday evening. IILL VB. HXSING. To the Editor of The Chicaqo Tribune : Crrcaco, Oct. 16.—If the Bepublicas Conven- tion will pominate Mr. Thomss A. Hill for the office of County Treasurer, the Bepublicans of this city and s grest many of the Demo- crats will gladly enpport bm by dili- gmont personal effiort as well as by their votes. The immediate necessity af electing ‘honest and competent men to all places of pab- fic trust is now becoming generally felt by men of both political parties, and such candidates, without referedce to party. will be worked snd voted for by both Republicans and Democrata, in a commendable effort to rescae Chicago from corrupt rule. ‘Perhaps no person could be named who wonld five greater strength to the ticket than Mr. Hill, or be a better opponent to the politican nomioated last week at McCormick Hall, Let the Convention give us a man for County Treas- arer like Mr. Hill worthy of the office, and worthy of she votes of the people, and the peo- te will do their duty sud thoreby give Jr. esing » lasting rebuke, Orp ENTS. BOW TO WIN. 7o the Editar of The Chicago Tribune : Cricago, Oct. 16.—I suggest that the only pos- sible way, seemingly,to do now is to inducs soma emigent citizen of unquestioned probizy, iude- pendent of office for subsistence, to serve as candidate for County Treasurer, who will pledge bimsel! not to receive, directly or indirectly, for bis services more than the legsl salary; and who will pledge himaelf to sabject his adminis- tration to scrutiny for that purpoee of s stand- ing commitieo com] ed equally of the Repub- lican and Democratic parties, and perbaps of the principal nationalities of the city, who shall officially report to the people the result of their scrutiny as often as once in three months.
