FRANELIN MAC VEAGE. ‘The TRIBUSE yesterday sent out areporter to interview business men, and to get from them their views and feehiuga in regard to the ontrage which Hesing and his lawless and (bieving gang had perpetrated on our best citizens in Farwell Hall Fridsy night, the factsof which were given i detail in yesterdsy's Tmisuxz. That the majorits of our citizens are justly indigoant is best shown by the facts given below: Franklin MecVeagh was found st his store, corper of Wabash avence and Lake street. He £sid that the meeting was & success beyond all donbt. Asacampaign meeting, he thought it the most euccessful be ever saw. Ita importance was largely due to the interferencs by Hesing's mob. HIr. MacVeagh said be couldn’t help think- 1oy of the old remark, ** Whom the gods wish to destroy,they first make msd.” It was almost im- rossible o concerve of tho ntter want of wisdom which sctuated such a course on the part of the Opposition. He thonght Hesing proved by his ocourse ot Farwell Hall that, whatever persoral friends he had on account of lus private charac- ter, he is an unfit and daugerous political leader for this commumty. Mr. MacVesgh's respect for the German people was such that he won- dered at them allowing themselves to be placed before the community in the light of his follow- ers. Hewas confident that many of the think- ing Germans would refuse 'to be held responmible for such action 28 ther at the Friday evening meeting. Thero was already a positive resction smong many of them, and he was safe in sayiog many Votes would be changed from Hesing to Huck. ‘Ihe determination on the par: of the merchants to assert iheir rights at the polls was geoeral ead intense. Basivess-houses would be closed Suesdav, and merchants would give their whole attention to tLe election. Tne ellect of the moeung had been such as 3ir. MacVeagh had never reen before resulting from eny political tranesction. The numbor of conversions, the number of changes of votes fiom Hesing since that meeting, to his personal kmowledge, ex- ceeded anyihing he over knew in connection with such matters. There were four gentlemen in his houss wto were in favor of Hesiog Friday worning, but they wera to be found op- posed to that gevtleman now. The fermenta- tion and excitement among the people of Chicago was 80 great thet almost every- body supposed the election wonld unquestionably g0 against Heamg. The fact was that last April the people of Chicago were deuied the night of voting in the charter election, practi~ cally denied the right of suffrage. Friday night the ouly remaining right of the American peo- le, the right of peacesbly sssembling, was vio- sted and denied by the men wiho were DOW in power in the city. That was the importance and gignificance of the transaction. But they found that the peopls had stood sach intwlerant and impadent interference with their final and nlti- mate rights of citizenship long enough. The police force would interfere in any rios mot of political bot they consider them- selves absolved from all guardianship of the people’s peace aud the people’s rights whenever » political question into the matter, as it did Fridsy nignt. A MEMBEB OF A STATE-STREET FIRM had not been present at the meetiog, but, from what he had heard of (he affair, he conmdered the conduct of Hesing most unbecoming. The breaking ap of a meeting by a mob waa o matter deserving the disapprobation of every right- thinking mso. He did not want his nams men- tioned, for business reasons. LIMAX J. GAGE, <ashier of the First National Bank, had not at- tended the meeting, and had not resd very much zbout it, althongh enongh to autborize mm to express his disapproval of any such meaeures 28 were coacted at the meeting. It was a matter in which every good citizen would show his opinion by voting against the Opposition party next Tuesds, ere attend . the ballot-box mnext Tuesdsy, both for the purpose of voting and keoping an eye on repeaters and ballot-box stufters. From all the parties he hsd spoken wlibhfltht sabject, there was t.h:nmm rd» Ply. they expected to go w the pol o thelr dnzy..’ JAMES P. DALTOK, The stove dealer at 192 Biate street, denounced the interferenca by Hesiog's mob aa the most dastardly outrags that be perpetrated up- on & people. It was the meanest, most atrocions thing he ever heard of. Thivge had come to s pretty 1f business men ocould not engago in & meeting without being interrupred by such s rabble. Hesing's course was condemped by even his Democrutio friends, with some of whom Mr. Dalton had m ‘Their opinion was that it was a most ly ontrage. Every mer- chant wonld, be thought, tarn out _Tues- day aod vote. He wounld olose his own store i the morning and kecp it closed all day, and although there might bo ous man in the etare to luok after things.

It woald be jus. av bad ond jost as mean to interrupt an Opposition meeting. Although the Hesing men were determined (O MOVE Leaven and earth to wlu the elegsion, Mr. Dalion was sure there ‘would be & pretty sharp contest. Ho bad known Alr.

He was surprised to hear that Hesing shonld have coma into the mesting with the very palps- ble design of bresking it up. He had thought bim too emart for that. His desporate move had undoubtedly lost him & great many votes. r. Fiold tnought the merchants would turn out siroug Tue Y. MB. C. TATUM, No. 146 East Madison, upon being _interrogated by a reporter, said that he was not present at the weeting. He, however, had read the papers.

Ar. §hort—hs. sir; Ido. 10,000 votes for the Republicans. - i PRep.—On what do you base your estimates? Mr. Short—On the reports I road in this morning’s paper aud the feelings expressed by the poople on the cars this moiuiog. All classes seom indigoant at thedirty and cowardly out- rage commutted by Hesing's mob. A GERMAN on the same same stree: stated that he had not been at the meeting. He was no poliician, and wanted no office, and did not feel iike giving his Views, bocaase if he stated what be felt’the Staats-Zeiturng would pitch into, him, and his business wonid be injored. Anotaer German uear by gave the same resson for declining to express lumsclf publicly. 210, JOHN WALSH, s+ gentleman who renovates dejected tiles and manafactures new ones, at ao unpretentious euructure, No. 246 East Randolph-st., staied that Lie was & constant reader of Tae Tnivuxe. He hed but little to say in regard to politics, but thonght 1t would go hard with any msn who dared endeavor to break up an orderly meetin, of citizens, be they merchants or mechamics an 1aborers, aud that the voters would not be apt to forget it on election-duy. MB. J. M. GAGE. of Gage Bros.. thought the conduct of the Hes- ingites disgracefol in the extreme. MIn my opinion,” eaid Mr. Gage, **the exhibition of 1ast night will call out the solid men of the city: if that demonstration does not wake them up to = sense of the condition of affairs, I don't know what will. I bave noc voted more than twice in city elections during the past ix years, but I will vote next Taesday if I lave to crawl to the polls on my hands and kuees; sod, I may as well tell yeu, I will not vote for Hesing. 1 was prepared to believe almost snyibing of Hesing before this, but I mever thought he would disgrace himself as he did lsst nigbt. His sapporters, who are mainly gamblers and vther disreputabic charactess, onght not to be tolarated by decent men. I wonder some of the thieves who disturbed the meeting were not shot down by our citizens. A member of the tirm of SILVERMAN & LINDAUER, when asked for bis opinion, wordered that such an outiage should be tolerated The men who comaitted it must be bad, snd were unde- serving of the couuteoanca of honest men. MESSES, KOHN, WINEMAN & CO., were noxt called upon. AMr. Duoning, one of tho firm, was very indignaot over the affur. He said: There is no {aw-abiding man in the city vat whst condemos the ontrage. The men who started and coutinued the disturbance ought to bave been forciuly ejected. Idon's care whether it is 8 Republican or & Detocratio meeting that is sought to be disturbed by wmobs, it ought to receive tho protectron of the sutironties. Ald. Campbell was perfectly justified in trying to take vengeance on the mngleaders. Thne police are greatly to blame for not Twumg the riot when called upon. They should be above par- ty, and ought to use their power in the interest of public peace. - A visit was next paid to Messys. LEOPOLD, HELLER & CO. Mr. Heller was seen, and he responded to the reporter'a questions 28 follows: [ was not present at the meeting myeeif, but Alr. Leopold was, and he classes Heswg's attack as ono of the must outrageons displays of rufiianism which has ever taken place in any city. He thinks, and from what 1 bave heard I cuincide in «he view, that it is a sure indication of the defeat of the Opgosition party. Alr. Leopold had quite & good opiuion of Hesiog before he went to the meeting, but upon seeing the mob with whom that candida.e is ailied, ho hos declared mis in- tention of not voung for, sna workiug sgainst, him a8 much a8 isin his power. MR CHAPMAN, of Abrame, French & Co., eaid: I wason the platform last night helving to keep back the mob. I am surpriseg that such an outrageous displav is possible in Chicago. Last night's meeting, however, rings the knell of Hesing's defext. In our ess we are gettiog uba feehng which will mauifest itself on election- day against the ballot-box stuffers and repeatera who are engaged by the Oppositionists. e are deternuned to preveat fraud if vigiance and physical sirength cao do it. The policemen present at the meeting could have quieted the crowd if they had felt disposed totry. When 1 was seen that they ouly lent their aid to protect the mob who were disturbing the meeting, I proposed to tho Chairmaa that we should organize oureelves to clear them out, bus Mr. Armour thought that was & wrong polioy, especia.ly a8 the officers would doubtless have lent their assistance to the rowdies 28 against the responatble busineas men of Chicago. A few dstermined men could have soon ejected Hesing and bis gang bad the Chsirman sanctioned thé attempt. It is perhaps better as 1t ia, however. It shows the pablic the men they bave to vote sgainst if they want Lo preserve the aty from etornal chaos and corruption. MESSRS. BINDSKOPF, BAREE & CO., thus expressed themselves thiough one of their firm : &e have no sympathy with breakers of the , and _shali concur snd act with the business mea of the city, however they ahall de- cide. MESSES. LORD, SMITH & CO. were algo called upon for an exprossion on the subject. Mr. Lord said : Hesing could not have done anything worse to injure himself thao the sttack his gaug moade lsst night. I heart- iy Iy'mp“i\llfl with suy efort to re- ducs our tsyes and put good men in places of outhority and trust. Last night's display ehows us conclusively wkom we shonld not elect this fall, and I think the busi- ness men will show their true appreciation of this revelation of disgraceful rowdyism. Judg- ing from his past, irrespective of what ocourred 2t Farmell Hall, T think Hesing is not & man whonm the citizens should favor. His action last night was ;::mb‘d taste. 11; was pbalrfect\yd.is- eful for him to appear @ public mesting % such & motive and such & lot of scoundrels o back him. LINDAURE BROS. thought it was the most outrageous thing they hed ever heard of, aud it proved the pecesaity for every meiciant to go to the ballot-box to vote and protect it. e demonstration of Fri. day did Hesing more injury than anything else could have done. MESSRS, MEYER, MANHEKIMER & CO. expressed their opinion in the tollowinfivmulnoz buz nevertheless pow: msaaner: * We think the affair of last night will loss Heaing & good many votes.™ ’ MR, ALLEX, of Allen, Keith & Co., thus expressed himself : 1f the reporta in the papers are true I think it was & disgracefal act on the part of the Opposi- tion. Heretofore I have not taken much 1oter- est in the election, but I intend to go to the polls and vote against Hesiog Tuesday. I had a fav- orable opinion of him until last night, butI m:lu “F Ishall work sgainst him mow toosh au 4 MXSSDS. PHELPS, DODGE & PALMER ‘were also virited by the writer. Mr. Dodge an- swered his inquines as follows: I was not pres- eut at the meetmg, but 1 think from what I have read and learned that it was perfectly ontrageons for the Hosingites to bebave ao they did. Their conauct will redound to their Injory. It must burt them a great deal more than it can benefit them, for every Is-abiding citizen will deem it bus duty to vote agains: them. MR. GEOROR BOHNEE, of Bohner & Cu., ssid io response to thie queries of wue rapoiters I was at the weeting, and con- r-the condast of Hesing’s gang tal. I thiok k wilt kill Hesiog put ooly for this eleotion bullnllh{nlm Tujs mornlag s~ wibar genthinan axd { vekl reand to s o it of THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE: SUNDAY OCTOBER 31, 1875.—~SIXTEEN PAGES, ————— gentlemen mswur business to induce them to close their stores T uesday, aud to go out and work for the dafeat of Hesing. Every one whom we con- versed had but oneopinion : that the Oppogition- ists were 8 corrapt set of scoundrels. They all agreed to suspend business for the day, and not only that, but bave promised to turn out in their geveral precinets to defend the ballot-box. 1 am eurprised that Hesig should bave lent lumself to such & desperate scheme 88 was played Iast pischt, for it will certainly lead to his defent. [ have conversed with & number who went to the meeting undecided 2a to how they should vote, but now they are sohd against Hesing. Tho conduct of the merchants in the presence of sach s mob was very commendable. They kept coal, and quieted the thing as calmly a6 possible. Dt is a wonder there was n blood shed. If the merchants had been excitable and unruly spirits lize the Hesing gang there cer- tainiy woald hsve been a frightful fight. The next gantleman called upon was ©. . HENDERSON, the well kuown boot and shos manufacturer. After nmking hia bueiness known, the reporter gat down and the following colloquy ensued : Reporter—Mr. Heoderson, I have called to aa- certain your views on the conduct of the mest- ing last night; I suppose you were there ? Alr. Henderson—Yes, and I consider the move of Mr. Hesing und the men who sastained him & dastardly ontrage. R.—Did you take notioco of those who created the disturbance 7 B.—Yes, eir; and I believe it was an organ- ized plan on the partof the Hesing party to break up the meeting. They came down the atops from the gallery, surronnded the platform, blocked up tho ssles, and did their ucmos: to revent the merchants from holding their meot- og. . R.—Did you understand befors the meeting that Mr. Hesing was to speak 2 B H.—I think some one' met me and said casn- ally that Heging was going to apeak, bat I treated the matter as o jest, and did not botieve he would have the effroo! to come to a meeting where he was not wanted, aud he knewit. R.—Was any authorized nocice sent him to ap- ar? Pefl.—Nnne whatever. Tue Tamuneand Times had given him to understand rally that be was not wantoed thera. R.—Bat his friends olaim that he was ma- ligned in the mesting, and had & rignt to defend himself. How is that ? ; H.—The fact of the matter is that he did not wait for the reading of the resolutions, but do- fiantly interropted the proceedings by msking & movement toward the platform, aud ineisting upon epeaking. He did not act respactful. R.—Did you then know the character of the men who were making the disturbance ? H.—No. Mr. Bogue pointed them out to me, and 1 aaw tBair object at once. R.—Have you spoken with any of the other merchants aboat the mesting ? H.—Ihave couversed with several gentlemen this morning, aud they were very much incensed at Mr. Hesins. and are thoroughly aronsed. R.—What do the merchants piopose to do ? H.—We ehall all close our places of business on electign dey, and use our influence to defest Mr. Hessing and bis arrogaat mob. The busi- ness men propose to 8ho v him that he cannot rule nor ruin them. Petitions are already in cir- culation for closing, and I believe every busi~ ness man will sign them. The reporter then sought for CHARLES P. KELLOGG, the heavy wholesale clothing manufacturer and Qealer. Ho was not 'im, but bis veoerable and intcliigent father, P. V. Eellogg, Eag., wno has Iately arrived from Earope, and who was one of the Vice-Presidents at the Merchants’ Meeting, waa at the house, and he gave all the deswred 1n- formation, aud fully and unequivocally exprassed himself on the situation. Reporter—Xr. Kellogg, what is your opinion of the meeting of last night, and the proceedings which interrupted 1t ? A 3fr. Kellogz—Well, I have beon an old poli- tician, but only lately returned from Europe, and do not know the men--not even iMr. Hesing —who wera so disgraceful in their conduct. R.—What do yoa think about their conduet ? K.—1 have bean to a good many meetings, but never saw o more respectable gathenng of men in my life, and never saw such disgraceful pro- ceedings. R.—Then you did not know any of the men with Mr. Resing ? K.—Ob, no; but I soon learned who they swere from their riotons acte. 3 B.—What did you do in the meating ? K.—I counseled my frionds to be cool and let Mr. Hesing and us friends create the disturb- ance, feeling all the time thet the latter were fonnding their own political deati knell. R.—Did say of those who wero on the plat- form create a disturbance ? E.—Some of the young men wanted to push the rioters off, butl stopped them, aa did the older men, and there was no overt act committed on our part until they attempted to interfere with us. Then we tried to keep them off. R.—How many men linve you employed hers ? K.—We have forty in the house, and a large number outeide. N R.—Have yon said anything to them about the election ? i K.—Oh, we do not try to influence our men. Wo have it from themselves that thoy are an- xions to get away on election duy and help de- feat Hesing. R.—Will you closa up Taesday ? K.—We certauoly shall, and wili goto the polls. My son is DOW assistiug to organize 800 men for service to protect tho ballot-box from stufting. At this junctare, ME. M. SELZ, s German, and one of the heaviest wholosale poot and ¥hoe dealers in the city, came in, and was interroguted by Mr. Eellogg about in the manaer following : Ar. Kellogg—Well, Mr. 8slz, how do you feel about tho clection? Mr. Selz—After the outrageous conduct of Mr. Hesing last night I am disgusted, and ehall now do wy utmost to defeat him. K.—Were you at the meeting? 8.—No, sir; but ssveral friends have informoed me about it. Ibhave not taken auy part before in politics, but I have deemed it my daty to do eosow. I bave consulled my employes (about forfig in the stors, aud while I do pot and Wol uot desire to dictate their votes, I huve reasoned with them and informed tbem that therr interesta were 1dentical witn those of their employer, and it was therefore thewr duty, in Justice to all, to vote for Mr. Huck. 1 have nothing agsinst Mr: Hesing of a personal na- tare other than that mentioned. The speaker also referred to thres of his sales- men who were peighbore of Mr. Hesing ; they bad msde uY their minds before the mecting in Farweil Hall to vote for him, bat after the riot- ous proceedings ho had engaged in they would pot, and were going to work sgainst him. Mr. Kellogg Baid there were several Demo- crats among their selesmen, bat they were a0 in- censed at Hesing’s conduct that they were going tolend their best effarts to defeat him. Both speakers had talked with leading merchants that day, 20d they found but one determination amang them—to close up their plaoces, instruct their men to go to thé polls, and go theroselves, and geu_thoir neighbors and friends to vote against Hesing. JOIN V. FARWELL and bis brother, 8imeon, were found busily en- aged. They were of one opinion regarding the esing demonstration, and were going to close up and let out their 200 men to vote and work at the polls. They had sen: ont men, with an agreement {o cloge, for other merchants to sign, and the names will be fonod elsewhere in these columns. Henry W. King, Charles H. Fargo, M. D. Wells, and othars, all heavy ,m:,s.:,.h mer- chants, made similar exlpresslonn to those given above, and io several instances their eutire forces of employes had gignified their inteution of voting against Hesing, and had been aasigued to certain polls to work. In the wholesale establishments visited the employers and amphfiu were fourd discussing the outrage at Farwell Hall, andif Mr. Hesing could have heard the remarke and tho groat de- termination to defeat him, be must bhave pgiven wup all bopa. The mer- chants and the salesmen, workingmen, and otbers in their employ are ronsed as they never were bofore, and where large houses have con- tributed but & few votes at local elections, thoy will tarn out to & man noxt Tuesday. THE WEST SIDE MB 3. BYBNE, & herness-maker, No. 15 Randolph street, stated that he would boldly aesert himself in favor of law and ordor. From what be had read he thought that bummers had raled long enough. The good citizens and real-estate owners had kept away from the polls too long, and they ‘were & great deal to blame for the present atate of affairs. Rep.—How in regard to the Iriah vote. Isit in your opinion for Heaing ? Mr. Byrne—So far as I know, on the Weat Bide Mr. Eeeley has the hest show. Rep.—But don't you think they will protest by their votes against mob rule ? Mr. B.—T think they will. Irishmen love law and order as well 88 any other class of citizens ? Rep.—Then what do you think of Mr. Hes- ing’s strength smoog tha Irisn ? Mr. B—] ttink it is not gredt. AnX sald be- foze, 1 i 1y ORinia thad tied, With the gooxrl mass of the people, frown dowa anything that weems like an attempt at mob rule. AR, M. EISRMAN, = Gerraan and o shoemaker, who has a shop at Np. 39 West Randolph street, was next visited. o stated that he was not at the moeting in Far- well Hall, i Rep.—Have youresd aoy reports of it in the —I read the story as told by Hesing in t:he Staa’s-Zeilung this moruing. Rep.—Did von form any opinion 2 . Mr. E.—Well, I thought it would o him no g00d, if it did not do him harm. p.—How abont the Germans ? . Mr. E.—Well, 80 far as I can see, they are di- vided between Huck and Hesing. " Rep.—What do you tink or Hesing's strongth? i Mr. E.—Hesing was very strong before this with the Germans, but I think this will greatly _wenlien bim, for respectable Germans won't up- Lold mob law, and respectable Germans are ia the ascendant in this country. Iam oo politi- «cian, and have never attended a political meet- ing since I've been in the conntry—over five .vears. MR, JAMES JOIINSTON. :a tailor, at No. 54 West Rundolph street, stated : ‘that he thonght that Hesing Lad stood fair be- fore he precipitated this tronble. Iie thonght that Heaing had 2 rigbt to speak ¢ this meetiog, ‘but he had noright to lead a mob to the stage. ‘It was sometaing that evers nght-minded citizen ropposed. If becould find no hearing without _bringing on & mob, he should have no bearing at ‘all. “These were his views, and he was froe to express them. THE WOBKINGMES. At the noontide hour s reporter of T Tris- "UNE visited a number of factories on the West :Side, At some of them he found the men cir- reled around one of their number, who was resd- :ing the dotails of the outrage of Friday night by ‘Hesing, at Farwell Hail, from s mornirg ‘paper. They =all secmed to take in ‘the situation, aud, of course, there was, 108 might be expected, a large diversity of views. \At one place an Irishman said : * Does the dirty tereatare Hesing think he'll get our votes ia that way:? He'll find out different on Tuesdar.” At qevery point his action was diecussed, and all, or 'very nearly ali, were of the opinion that Hesing ‘had strack bis pokitical deatb-knell, aud that he ‘would bo deeply buried Tuesday. The Lrigh, as & class, seemed divided between Keelev and Huck, and did not seem to take much stock in Hesing. On the othgr band, the Ger- man workingmen geemed, to extent, to still ally with him, However, 21l frowned down his impudence, and they seemed to be much_less favorably impressed with him than before. Huck stock wos up and in the ascondancy. One old German wood-tarner said that Huck was too howest & man 0 try and speak at any meoting st which he had po business, aud where he was no wanted. He prized bis character too much for tkat. THE DEMOCRATS —that 18, those who are in fuvor of good, hon- est government—ill vote for Mr, Huck.

A. C. MUSSELWHITE, draggst at No. 35 West Aadiscn strect, stated that be had not read the reporis of the Farweil Hall meating fully, but what ae had read was onough to contirm stiil more strongly bia opinion that Hesing was s scoucdrel and a rafian. He had alweys beieved that Hesing was training with the disrepatable clussea of n.eople, bul the action of Hesiug on the previous eveniog, in at- tempting to break up tho meetiag, was acon- vinciog proof of the fast. M. MATER, of the firm of Schlesinger & Mlayer,dry-goods dea'ers on the corner of Madison and Desplaies streets, said that he Liad not takeu soy 1 nterest 1u politics thus year. He bel.eved that tho City Government was in tho hands of a set of ras- cals who were deiermined to romain in power, and would use every inluence and means to er- petuate tbat power. Ho had given ap auy idea of obtainiog rood officers. Alihough a Ger- man, he was atteily opposed to eny such illegal snd monsirous iovasion of a meeting as had been made by Mr. Hexing oa the previous evan- ing. ME, JONY HPILAND, of the firm of Heiland & Rsuney, druggists, bad Dot given the subject much a:tention. He had heard the meotiug talked of daring the morning, and his opinion was that, tince that meeting had been called by busiuess meo in a legitimato way, those men had & right to coaduct their moetiug to suit themeelves, and Hesing bad no right to intrude hiwseif upon them. Mr. Ranuey, the otber partner, concided with 2Mr. Heiland's opinion. 3[B. KAEMPFER, of the firm of Kraus & Kaempfer, jewelers, at No. 155 Weet Madison strecl, was somewhat un- decided ia his opinions. He had read the reports of the Farwell Hall meoting, both in the Englivd and German paspers, and they differed so de- cidedly that he waa really unable to d.cide which was true. He was a Germav, aod had pot yet doterminad whother to vote for Huck or Hesing. He expressed the opinion, bowever, thas at least balf of the Germans in the city would vote for the former. He was not a politician. ’ AR, JOON FORSITHE, grocer at No. 191 West Madison street, consid- ored it a great piece of &:ruunmptinu on the part of Hesing and e crowd tu force their way into & meeung composad of respectable business men like Stowart, Aldridge, Moore. nad others. He was entirely opposed to Hesiog. He had not followed up election matters very close, but if balf of what was said about Hesing were true, :h.‘u Bxswur.i:inn ought to be put out and kept out office. MR. H. A. SMITH, JB., momber of the clothing firm of Smith & Epps, No. 217 Weet Madison Btreet, spoke vers decid- edly upon the question. He said that he alwaya bed been a Democrat, snd had intonded to voie for Hesing until he read the reports of the Far- well Ha!l meeting. He considered the a-tempt of Mr. Hesing to break up the meeting dis- gracetul, and calcnlated to ruin his chances at the election. Auy body of men, he thought. hed & right to hold meetings undistarbed, snd he could not say anything too strong agmpst such an exhibition as \wae mado by tho Hesing parti- sans at that meeting Friday evoning. COL. B. W. STOYKER, hatter at No, 228 West Madison streot, was sorry that be had not been able to attend the Farwell Hall meeting. His sentiments were alwaya in favor of law and order, and against political cor- ruption of every sort. He was interested greatly in this campaign, although his business inter- eata did not permit him to take an active part in it. He feit opposed to Alr. Hesing on account of the crowd with which he was notorioasly asso- cisted. He would do what every citizen should do,—vote himeeli and see that all his friends and employes dia tha same. He would vote the RBepublican ticket. M, S. F. GALE, the woll-known capitalist, whose office is located on the corner of Peoriz aud Madison atreets, said that he had been a resident of Chicago for forty years, but bad uever heard of such a scene a8 was witnessed at the Farwell Oall meeting. His health had recently beea quite precarions, thus preventing bim from taking the active part in politics which ke had once takeo, bat bis interost inlocal affairs was still undinunished. He had in- tended to go to the meeting, because ho felt that every go.d citizen ought to come forward and make his sontiments known and his infinence felt tor good local governmens. But ho_had not beea sble to go. Nevertheless, he, had read the reports in the morniag papars, and he wonld say that the. attempt of the Hesing crowd to break up the meetiug was o most out- ragoous proceeding. Men had been in his office that morning who had not been active in politics, but who expsessed tbe strongest disapprobation at the malicions and illegal invasion of that meacing of respectablo citizeus, and thoy had one and all declared their iniention of devoting all their energiea to the attaioment of the suo~ cess of the Republicau party st the polls. MB. T, COKHARDT, confectiouer, at No. 263 Wost Aadison street, takos an interest in_politios, although oot actively engaged in it. Ha vxpressod the upinion that thie mooting st Farwoll Hall was wrongfuily broken 10 upon by the Hesing crowd. He was esrpestly in favor of maintaining law and order, aad beliaved tbat respectablecitizens should rise up in their might and conguer the disreputable elements by a square vote at the polls. R, M. INGAL] dealer in hardware, at No. West Xadison streat, was of the opintor that no man bsd a Tight to ‘fo into eny meeting—religious or polit- ical—and try to bresk it up. Any such attempt, be said, would be sure to redound to the injury of the disturbora far niore than to those who were thas molested. He thought that this move would injure Hesing mors than soything which bo conld have done. !

The retail merchants and smail business men of the North Bide wero called npon by a Trms- UNE reporter vesterdsy for the purpose of as- certaining their opinion regarding the dis- graceful doings of the Hesing mob at the meeting. of merchants at Farwell Hell. Bat few of those interviewed had been to the meeting themselvea, and only knew what theyhad read in the papers. Most of the Germans had read nothing but the garbled sccount in the Sfaals-Zeitung, which makes it appear thot the meetiug waa & Know- Nothiog gathering, in which nothing bat ha- rangos against the foreignors were uttered, and that Hesing merely came thore by invitation of several merchants, and only wanted to defeud himsel? whea his character was attacked. 8tll, almost every one was of the opinion that Hesing had no business to be at the meeting, and that his prospects had been greatly damaged by bLis going there with euch a disreputable crowd. ‘There isagroat reluctance on the part of the North Bide merchants to. give their opinion oo the political situation, on account of their fear of being abused by the Slaats-Zeitung, and that Hesing’s partisans, the saloon-keepers, etc., who are among their best customers, wonld injure their business as much a8 they could. Hence they preferred to keep their opiniona to themselves, and pot in their votes Tuesday a8 thoy saw fit. From all that can be ascertsined, there is, however, but litilo doubt that the German_mer- chants and small business men on the North Bide are abont two-thirds against Hesing, while tne saloon-keepers and free-lunchers are almost o unit in his favor. The American and Irish business men on the North Bide are almost nnan- imouzly opposed to Mr. Hesing, still they prefer to take no active part in the election, because it might 1nflacnce their German castomers against them. They will, however, turn out to vote, and they state that they will give their employes a chance to vote also. The Irish saloon-keepers and their sdberents work very assiduonaly and energetic- ally for Mr. Kecley, and they believe that he can be'elected. They are dead agair.t Hesing, but are divided on the rest of the ticket. There can be but little doubt, from all that coald be learn- od, that Hesing’s chances on the North Side have been growing oeautifully less during the last two waeks, and that the action of his mob at the merchants' meeting has killed bim beyond re- demption. LAKE. THE STOCK-YARD MEN. A large meeting of live stock and other busi- nees-men assembled in Exchange Building, Union Stock-Yards, at 12 o’clock yesterday. The meeting was called to order by Mr. G. T. Willams. Dr. 8. E.Wood, the commission man, was called to preside, and Mr. G. T. Will- isms was made Secretary. MB. WOOD, the Chairman. stated that the meeting was not of a political or party character, but was called to expreses the indignation of the Stock-Yards businese-men at the outrageous condact of the mob that entered Farwell Hall to break up the meetipg of business-men of Clicago last evea- ing. ‘He spoke at some length, stating that euch an outrage was the forernnner of fraud and- stuiling of ballot-boxes at the coming election; the commencewent of the undermining of all laws, either muuicipsl or natioual. The speaker waa groeted with cheers. THE HON. TRUS COY was loudly called for and spoke at considerable longth against mobs aod interferences with lawful mostings of business-men in this or say other city. RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED. The following resolutions wers offered and unanimously adopted : WieREss, A meeting of merchonts and business men of the Cityof Chicago, conveaod at Farwe!l Hali, Inst evenng, for the purpose of devising plans to pro- tect the purliy of the balio-box, our omly safeguard for liberty ; and WiERRis, A disgraceful mob, hesded by A.

THE REPUBLICANS. Considerable excitement and an unwonted de- gree of activity were apparent about political headquartera yesterday, and preparations for the fray next Tuesday wero in process of corapletion by candidates and supporters. The topic of con- versation, when conversation was indulzed in, was the citizons’ moeting Friday evening at Far- well Hull, tho effect it would have on Hesing's prospects, and the majority each ticket would poll on election-dsy. Itis evident thst the Revublican, Opposition, and Independent organizations are massing their forces for a determined fight, and the party that prevails will have accomplished victory in the face of a contest unprecedented in the political annals of Cook County, The gentlemen com- posiog the Republican Executive Committeo have nearly completed arrangements for aiding in securing a fair election, and the measures undertaken for the prevention of fraud, repsat- ing, and stuffing the ballot-boxes, are such that, while in some cases it caonot be prevented, as a rule neither of these illegal echemes can, as a rule, be safely indulged io. In addition to the * Ballot-box Guard,” which nas been organized in the several pre- cincts at the suggestion of Gen. Mann, s move- ment was insugurated yesterdsy, having forits objoct the abaoluts pravention of systematic re- peating indecent to metropolitan elections. It ia designed to enrol & force of THREE HUNDRED MOUNTAD MEN, divided into squads of three or more, who shall be apportioned to the election precincts throngh- out the city. When a load of voters, or voters of a suspicious character shall, have exercised the electiva franchise in the precinct wherein they shall be accorded that privilege, it will be the duty of these mounted men to follow and provent their voung elsewhere. Itis thought this measure will sccomplish the object in view, and stop this infamous practice. The TRepublicans throughout the city are exceedingly sauguine of the resnlt, avd claim_ that they will be able to elect their ticket byamd]ority varions- ly estimated at from 5,000 to 7,000. They insist that their action in taking steps to enforco a fair election is neceasitated by the vital interests at stake, as also by the avowed purpose of the Opposition to carry the election at all bazards. They further insist that the material of which that party 1s composed is such that no ordinary meaas will suffice to insure that object. Opinion on the actiou of the citizens’ meeting Friday night in refusing Mr. Hesing ao audience to explaio the basis of, or refute tue allegations contained in, the resolutions adopted, varied somewbat. The majority coatended that the mesting was of & character that estopped Hesing from participating in its proceedings at all, —he being a candidate, —while some asserted that his manner of proceeding was alone objectionable. Had he visited the meeting as & citizen, refrained from interrupting its deliberations, and conduct~ ed himself in & res]ilecf-lblo and respectful man- ner, he would bave been afforded an opportunity of explaining his position. But he came there for trouble, entered the room as a bravado, backed by a gang of desperadoes,zamblers, night- workers, and political mendicants, who frequent bar-rooms and aisreputable resorwss, ana sttempted to throst his privaie record and po- litical creed down the throats of citizens repre- senting the commercial, marine, and other tax- paying interesta of Chicsgo. His object. and that of Lis henchmen, was £o rout the meeting, and transform s quiet, orderly gathering iuto & scene of rude commotion. that would bave cal- minated in riot and bloodshed. No approhension seems to be felt bat that the election will pass off quietly, unattended by more dizorder than usually provails on taat day. The party have made provision to maintain peace, and assert that they bava been forced to this at 1ast, in coonsequencs of the imertia and uareliability of the Polico Departmeni. AT THE OPPOSITION EEADQUARTERS immonsa crowdg were gathered duriog the dav, and remained there until late n the evening. Tho ciowd were equally divided between the German aud Irishconstituencies, with an appar- ent sparseness of Americans. ¥ew promisent ropresentatives of tue party were there, and Hesing was at 0o time visible. An article ia the Slaats-Zeitung headed **Damp the Dutch ™ was discussed, and its tenor accepted by all who bad perused it. _All were indignsaot at the treatment received by Mr. Hesing Friday night, which waa deooucced a8 20 ontrage on the rights of & citizen, and a ehamefal restraint on the right of free speech. They haéd the impudence to claim that the in- sult offered to Heasing 18 an insult to the work- ingmen, and wouid unite the foreign element in the cits. The Opposition do not underostimate tho strength of their oppoments. Thoy seem to realizo that the contest will be fiorce. and thut no means will be left untried to win victory. 1f thev should prevail, they generally admic that $heir majoruy cannot exceed 3,000. The mea- sures projected to secure a fair election are se- verely commented npon. They openly asserted that the Kepublicans coatempiate arming the * Ballot-box QGuard,” and directiog extreme mensures be used to provent what 13 termed by the Opposition as ‘‘ unwar- ranted interference.” Should this part of the programme be carried out, the ilesingites hint that chey will meet them nalf way, and that the election will be carriod, BY DISORDER, RIOT, AND. I NEED BE, BY DLOOD. The inference to be deduced Irom theso hints seems to be, that such s condition of allsirs would not be unaceeptable. AT 7HY KEELEY RENDEZVOUS toere was little excitemout, that party seeming- ly willing to act as bottle-holder for their rivals. Those in auendance, though ret- iticent as to the prospect, are by no means hopeless. One enthused individaal glo- ried in the birternees which prevailed, and agded that it woutd be instrumental in electing their candiante by 15,000 majonty. A large clerical force nas busy in writing out notices of meet~ ings for last night, sending communications to spaakery, answering quostions, and generally. it the dispatch of official business. The Executire Comnmittee, closeted at the farther end of the room used as headquarters, were occupied 1o affairs of State, and denied admittance to all save the elect. Keeley yesterday circulatad the following: HEADQUARTEES, 111 Randolph street.—Tb ths toters of ook County : It has como to my knowledge that 1oy oppouents, the supporters of AMr. Hosing, are in- dustriously circulating a siateraent to the etfect that I intend 1o reagm 1n favor of Mr, Hesing.

The Republican Club of the Firat Ward held & meehing tast evening at the Republican head- quarters, on the corzer of Lake and Clark streets, tomake final arrangements for guardiog tho polls on election-day. Mr. 8. W. King occapied the chair. The Secretary’s report of the last mosting was read and approved. Ald. Richardson ssid that it was not necessary to have any speech-making in this ward, bat the only thing desirable was to complete arrange- ments for securing a fair election Tuesday. The Secretary moved that a committee of five be appointed to select officers for the ballot-box brigade. The motion wss carried, and Mesars. Richardson, Ogle, Marshall, Jacobs, and W.J, Brown were appointod. Commissioner Clough roso to say that he had Leen detained at the headquarters that evening, and was glad to speak at the reqnest of several members. It had been ezid that the Bepablic- ans bad not a very strong organizstion in the Firet Ward, but the numbers there showed him tne contrary. The contest this fall was one of :lho _ Worst ;Lmjecta ever set on foot for lepriving the people of their liber- ties. The feeling throughout the city was that anjust means would be used to stuff the ballot-boxes. He wirhed to say a few words about the candidates. The one oa the Oppousi- tion ticket came up and leosed that he had not & dollar to pay his debts exospt what he would take out of the pubho treasury. On the other band the Republicans had ao homorahle man for a candidate,—a young man fresh from the people, and agmnst whom no had ever bean breathea. If an honest vote can be obrained the Republicans would carry ihe elac- tion in every part of the county. ‘The Committce, after a ehort conference. re- ported recommendiog toe sppomtment of Ald.
