CHICAGO. REPUBLICAN CENTRAL COMMIT TEE. OROANIZING FOR TIZ CAMPAIGN. Tho Republican County Contral Committes for tho enening yoar hold the first meoting yes- terdsy morning in tho campaign headquartors 10 the Grand Proific Hotel. Tho objoct was chiofly to perfeat an organization for tho cam- vaign, Tho attendanco was gratifyiogly large, only three absentoes being noted {u & member- ship of twoniy-six. The intorest taken in the campalgn waa shown by the prosence of out- #iders euough to il the room. REORGANIZATION. Col. Schaffner, Cunirman of the Committee for the threo years last past, called the mesting to order aud suuounced that the first business bofore the Committee was reorganization for the coming year. Mr. J. T\, Avery, of the Twoelfth Ward, nomi- uated Col. Behaffoer for re-eloction as porma- pont Chairman. H. B. Brayton, of the Fifth Ward, nominated Commissioner Clough for the same offic2, and a ballol waa orderad, which resulted In the elec- tion of Mr. Clough. On taking the chair Mr. Clough thanked the Committze enbstaotially aa followa : OrNTLEMEN: Allow meto express {0 you, one and sll, ‘my slncero thanks for this hanor conférred upon me: As many of you know, I am connlderably uppracticed in the methiod of presiding st meetings, but 1 skall Tely pon sour ad, and when I say your ald I mosn {ho alt of avery ons in this good vork whicl we havo come here to urate, Alow mo to expross my Dewrty apirova o ticket put in the fold yester- 1tis 8 good one from top to battom, aud whl Hevo by ubqualied sympatby and Aupport, You uava met this morulng to {manguratn lis campaign, 1 you como hero with tho determinatiou not to o auy oif-way work, wo must wip, Tho ballob-box is 4n thio hands’ of our opponenis, mnd we must uso vigilanco, Gentlemen, dou't lot us huvo any dissenslonss don’t let us forget for a moment that this {8 sn important clecion. ~We Lava on 1bo other nidos man who i# willing 1o throtils both pariies for his own personal jutercats, The idea of n maa who openly 5358 that L wants an’ ofiice fo ree trievo s own Snaucial fortunes belug clected is pro- posterous, On our ticket wo have o map whio hua beon ublo to manage his owh sffofrs thus far, and I sm sura he will bo able o manage yourn, I again tender you wy ihanks, snd I hope that 1 ahsll bo ablo to do un well fu tho chair ss your late Chalrmau. (Applause.] Mr. Daniel Bhepard was thon unsuimously olected permsauent Socrotary. THANES. W. C. Phillips, of the Third Ward, offerad tho following resolution : Reaolved, That we tender to Louls Schaffner, the ro- tiring Chafrioan of tbis Comuittee, for his earnest, fabinl, and eliclent sorvicos s our moet respected Chalrmap, sincoro thanks, aud that we fully indorsa Lin offorta to sccure & straight Republican Conventiou. The resolution was unaniimously adoptod. In responss to this commendation of his course, Col. Behaffnor eaid that ba waa willing to own that the indorsoment flattered him. He bad but ono polnt in view during tho throo years he had been Chairman of tho Committee, ~ihe integrity of the Nepublican party. Durivg that tlme there hnd baen other snd dificult yproblems to_ solve. Thero* bad been discouragoments. He Lad triod to maintain ihe strongth and unity of the party. Heo had essayed to keep up a straight or- gluf;lflon. He had always objocied to fuslon with other partios, aud had st times baen Iaid open to the ;‘;\oallon of those who did not agreo with him. Me would now work witn all his nught for tho sficcess of the ticket. Unfor- tunately thora was no Rogistry law, and tho Og- position had full control of the ballot-bozes, It was necessary polls to sce to it that the purity of the boxes was malntalned. Thaoking tho Committce sgain for tho complimenta paid "him, he retired amid ap~ to put ecourageous men nt tho plause. Ahe éullowiug rosolution was iotroduced and opted s Resalved, That the Central Committes tender to the candidates their services sa an advisory committee, ELECTION JUDGES. The Chairman desired tho members of tho Commnittes to aid tue Committes of Five ap- panted at tha Uonvention as far aa Jay In thelr power. This Committeo desired to prescnt to tho Board of Commissioneia tho namo of a ro- sponesible man in esch procinct to be appointed & fudge of elsction. Thia list should be presented a8 soon 88 possiblo to tho Commissioners, and the Committea appointod to preseat it would bave dificulty unicss they wers advised in so- lacting the best men 10 tho precinots whare the: were but little aoq: ed. In thia mal ter tho representai from the wards oould matesmslly ald tho Committeo, The speaker added that he thonght if the best names were taken before the Board jthat body conld be induced to make materisl changes iu the |n%.u of election as befors appoluted, Mr. G, M. Bogue, of the Fifth Distriat, sald {hat e thought the list of names heretofors pro- sonted to the Commissioners by the Contral Committes ehould be rovised by the Committeo of Pive, 80 as to secure men in oach preainct who would look after the intercats of the Repub- lican party. A goneral underatanding waa then arrivedat that_each member of the Central Commitios sbould at the next mesting preaent Lo the Com- mittee of Five the nsme of a trustworthy man in each preciuct in his ward. Aftor some consultation as to the best Lour for meeting, ap adjournoment was had to to-mor- Tow morpiug st § o'clock, At this meoting it In expectod that the liat of electien judges to be presented to the County Commissioners by the Committes of Yive will bo preparod. — A BASIS OF COMPARISON, LAST YEAR'S VOTING. For the purpose of enabling thove who do not remember and cannot find the full election re- turas of 1sat fall, to Lave before tuom something on which to base a concluslon as to the result of thu contest for county of- floers next month, Tuz TwsoNg given below the voto by wards and towus for Congressmen sud Btate Treaantor, No fairer welection could be made for tho purpose desired, sloce while only a fow votod were oadt for Gore, the Farmers' candidste for Treasurer, thus mak- iog Carrall & fair representative of the Oppoai- tion, the rosuit as between Aguow and Bradley for Bheriff, and Dietzach and Bteplieus for Cor- ooer, waa 8o complicated by porsons! popularity Io partioular preclucta aud’ tawne, queativas of coxaRmam, Heventoenth, 5 Elghieent: 452} 1783 Nineteentt 2l 463 614j 1,094 ' w4 a6 ) i 1 2% 103 ) 6 ol 2 17 73 naa au4 1 W 86y 405 B Wh Leyden. 1y B3 Temont..... ol 47 cy 105 1l & 0 13 an 115 i 53 b 2 Bl 4 856 15 %0 w180 18| o ) 13 il w2 0 o4 134 o 200 Tofal ... 1120,456] In sddition to tho vote sbove giveu for Stato ‘Troasuror, Gora, the Granger candidate, received 888 votes. The poluical sfliliations of those mon aro essily ascertamned by looking at the vote for Buperiutendeny "of lostruction. ‘Thers the Opposition aud tlhe Grangera san tho ssmo candidate, Etter, who received 28,500 votes, wuile Powoll, the Ropub- lican nominoe, recelved 21,418, Thisshows that thie 800 aud odd farmers who voted for Gore caus their ballots for she Ropublican candidate for Huporiutendent of Public Instruction when the queetion was natrowed down to A conlest be- twoen Republicans aud Domocrats. Thus tho :"u;(:Loppvuxtlon majority on tho Biate ticket was X : It will thus be seon that, while the Opposition nowifnee f{or Biate Treasurer carrled tho county by pearly 8,000, thoir Congressionsl can- didutes, taken i a wholo, came out ahead by ooly o littla over 500. Thia singular discrapancy is to be sccountod for partly by tiue fact that the Ropubticana paid little attention to tnoir Stato oflicers, foeling confident that tbey wounid be oloctod without sny oxertions on their part. Another roason for tho discrapancy Is tho fact that the Republican ticket-poddiors prosented to Lundreds of voters split tickets. Every men who camo along bad presented to him o tickut which covtained, bemde the name of & Repube lican Congressman, that of some Souator or Alderman of the same party, whilo the rest of the ticket was masla up of Democrats. In this way thousands of Republicane voted for thoir own Congressman and also for Democratic Btste ofifcers. In reality, the throo Republicau candidates for Cobgross wero only a few lundred votes stronger than iheir Btato ticket, and if the oanvassors aud ticket-peddlers hnd fonght for tha whole ticket as thoy did for the splits it wonld have come mo3t probably within a thousand votes of the Dowocratic ticket io the county. Witk 500 canvassers thus fight- ing for Domocratic State officats, tha ooly wou- dor ia that the discropsucy was not greator. Tha Tepublicaus mado their fair, full light oo Cone gresamen, electiug ouo, nearly olecting snotler, and coming withiu 600 odd votes of carrsing tho caunty. Lut for the excentiousl sirength of one of tue Opposition candidates—2r, Caultiold— thoy would bave elecied two, and carried tho county. In contrasting the,vote to be cast tlis year with that polled last, 1t must bo borns in miod that fhe lmmense lrish voto of tho Sixth and Boventh Wards drawn out by Caultleld’s being a0 Irishman will not go to tho pollsatall, aL least for Mr. Hesing. Tho Kecloy movement and Mr. Hesing's personal unpopularity awmong that_nationslity sottle that question at least. The heavy vote cast by them for Iiarrison in tho Eighth and Niuth Wards, due to his Democ- racy and nnwearied canvassing, will be cast this timu for the Independont candidate, or will stay at home, At least 3,500 Irlahmen who voted for Caultlold or Harriton will noxt mouth g0 cast thoir votes as to dofont tho party for which they sccured victory in 1874, In ‘the Eichiconth Ward, suother Insh-Democratio stronghold, tho BAIO CAUSDA ATD At Work. - While it is not unlikely that tho North Sido Gorman wards mey give Mr. Hoslng n hoavior vota than Le Moyne received when ho last ran, yot it must bo remombored that the lLcavy Ger- man vote in tho Boventh and Eighth Wards, in tho first of which Mr. Fluckls large eatabhish- mont ta located, are not undor the eamo influ- oncos that the North Bidors aro, and will givo Huck » thousaud wore votes thsn Ward ro- corved, As for the American wards,—tho First, Fifth, Twelfch, Thirteenth, Fourtesnth, sud Ninctoonth,—t! will Flvu Tuck majorisios largor than tHbse recelved by tho Republican caudidato) jast year. As for the connty towps, which Issi year gave s Republican msjority, m:{ will iucrease it this {all. 'The growth in_population of stanch Rle- publican towns, like Evauston, flyde Park, Lake View, cto., ia far greator than thag of tho sall farming districta whers the Germana pro- onderato. Even tbero, with good cauvassing, ha friends of Br, Huck can secure for him a heavior voto thau Bmith snd Farwell recoived. =The prospect, therefors, iz will bo ascan, is mont encouragivg for the rederption of Cook County by a majority of from 38,000 fo 4,000. All that 18 wanted to make this cerlain is o vigorous, energetic, unremitting campaign from now ¢l Nov, 1. —— THE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATS. A TALK WITH A SIMON PUKE. But lttle bas been hoard of late of the etraight Dpmocratio movement, and it looked a3 if that elemont of the campaigs hLad rathor melted away aud resolved itself into tho ele- ments—to-wit, intense but silent dlsgust, and Heulngism, A reporter yosterdsy had & convemsstion on the subject with s Demoerat of the purest water, one who pover had, he =sid, voted the Republican ticket aud never would vota for a member of thet party ** wa Republican.” When asked sbout the prospeots the gentle- mao said, in offect, that the Democrats with whom he had talked thought thet both par- ties who had pominated tickets bad held mia- takon views of tho necessities of pure gover- meot. ** Why,” said e, * what doos it matter, anyway, who is Couoty Treasurer or Mayor of Clilcago ; they are morely executive officeis who ¢an do little or nothtug except obey the Common Councll oz of Commissioners. The steals sra made in theae bodies, and there la whete the honest men should be put. Anybody can pay out snd take in the fuuds, and if hLe can glve good bonds, and responsible men will in- sure_the ocounty agsivst loss, who cares very much who the Tieasureris? It isn't the emolu- ments of the office that tzoublo the tax-psyers, but it is the money which tho ‘I'reseurer pays out on the order of the Board, Now look at THAT PACK OF SCOUNDRELS that are going to build tbe Oity-Hall; just see how much they are golng to make off that. Why, it that bullding wore 0 be put up by an individusl, oot of b own pocket, it would not cost more than 81,500,000, and yet 1f this gang of desd-beats put it up, it will cuvst, mark miy words, not ess than €5,000.000, and the tax- ayers must suffer the difference, Just look at Ylm waythoy have atarted in with the foundatioa, A ood, honast, respousible man offers to pus it iu for cartain sum, and the Yng pats bim by, and give the job to ouo of their favorites st ‘s r prico. That's o flue boginaing, much Int st it ? T'he reporter was willing to allow all this, sud more, but he wanted to know WIIAT TUR DEMOCKATS TROPOSED TO DO ABQUT IT, “Well, sir," refolued the geutleman on belog questiow: we proposs to lot the Treasarer, ner ‘m_xy. fust think what a thing it would be for this city and county 1f Coolbsugh and George Hmith, and some niore men like them, were in tho Counts Board—if tho Board was made up of such men.” Then the reporter waated to know what they proposed to do w4 Lo the NONINATIONA NuW NEFORY.

The regular quarterly meeting of tho Joffer- sonian Councli was held at the Bherman Houso last evening, Preeident Hoyne i tho chair, and Jonu Hise Heciotary. After the reading of the minutes of the former weetiug, J. R. Doohitile, Jr., moved that Tues- day be fixed a8 tho day for holding the County Convention contemplated by o resolution passed st » former meeting. Judge Miller thought the first business under the resolutlon in question was to tix upon the METHOD OF CALLING TUE CONVENTION, and pot the fixing of the timo for the holding thosame. [He closed by making a motion to lay the motion of Mr. Doolittle on tha table. After somo discusslon, tho motion to table was lost by & decisive vote. Mr. Guerouit was oppoaed to the adoption of Mr. Doolittle's motion, becsuse it was too late, sud, besides. inexpedient, Judre Miller thought that, before the motion was adopted, 1t would be well to tako A BETROSFECTIVE YIEW of the poltical situation. 'The object of the Couuci, whes it was onginated, was to purify politics and uphold the Democrat- party, The Council was nsmed Joffersoutau in defcrence to Mr. Heuiug, who took an actise iu- terest in ity formativn. 1t Lad been intended to call tho Aseociation Democratic, but the inten- tion was chanced at Mr. Heeipg's dictation, nho said that he could uot thon briog hia frieuds into the Dewmocratic party, but he could into the Jofigrsonian pacty ot onco, snd promised that in 1576 be would Lo & Domocrat, and could muster Uls friends. Tho speaker thou ravigwed Mr, Hesivg's political carecr at levgth, and citad eeveral articles recently pubngbed in the Staats-Zeitung and several ercechos Hesing had made jto sho' that be waa not & Domocrat 10 auy seuse of tho wond,'and thatthe move- ment he headed wes unworthy of Democrativ support, 1ic continued, calling sttentiou to tho mungrol combination suown & the Opposition party, at the boad of which AMr. llesing stood. e coald not indorso the Oppositiou ticket, bo- lioving, 08 lie did. that it wus not iu sympathy with the Democratic party, but, on tho contiars, it8 mis:ion was to supersedo that party.
