[Cheers.] The right of an American to vote is above soy right of pro;;ny Iever had, or shall have, or can have. By that right to vote, by that right of a littls ballot put into a ‘batlot-box, by tbat all-potent 2gency, I sand my feeble voice out into all the different corners of the Government of tho whole land, and my little Yote and wy feoble induence ere' feiv all over the land by the excrcisa of that little right, and there is noman_here to-night, black or whits, ‘ative or naturalized, ednceted or ignorant, rich ‘or poor, that bas pot that ssme blessed right. And whilst I wonld Dot go to tho polis for my life and frandulently vote twice, more than ‘once, logally, neither would I allow any other fellow to ram his frandulent vote in. [Vocifer- us and long—continued applause.] The War of the Revolution was to preserve the ballot-box. The War of the lata Rebeliion Wwas to vraserve the ballot-box. Americs can hava 0o war that wlil not uitimately end in the Pproposition to PREYERVE THE DALLOT-BOX. I don't want the people of 1ltuose, or the people ot Cook County, or the people of this ¢ity, to be Ppermitted to go to the polls and recklessly cast in baliots, as your Prosecuting Attorney said to- w b | Dight, to my utter amazement and profonnd dis- Tust, by the peck. [Applanse and laughter.] Yes, by tho peck. Why, my God, I would like to snow who .couldn't be elected. [Laughter.} I wonldn't suffer anybody, on Tuosdsy next, in Cook County or the City of Chicago, to vote by ‘the peck, or the pat, or by sny other measure. {Cheers.] I go home JMondav morning next, 175 miles from this city, and I go thers chiefly that day 80 &8 to bo there the next morn- ing to go and cast my vote for the candidates for County Surveyor and County Trensarer. They are the ouly men to be elected in Macon County this fall. Itis my duty to be there. I am just 28 much obliged to go thers and put my vote in a5 any man thare.- Wkat right havo I to stay away because I happen to be in Congress, or in this city, or some other place? What right have I'to stay iutho office, in the pulpit, the baok, the Board of Trade, the Exchange? What right have I to stay away from the polls, rain or shine ? This thing of talking about a dark day 2a being worse thun s sunshiny day! Suppose it is not & sunehiny doy, Liberty is mot always sunshiny. Yes, I would go to the polls, rain or ahine, sleet or hail. I would GO TO THE POLLS OB FURST WIDE OPEN. {Laughter.] Itell you, gentlemen, who listen to me to-night so quietly, I tell you that every time an election passes where you are legally voters and you don't put your ballots in, every time ao election paases where you miss the oc- «casion of public voting, you bave lost just that much of your manhood, just thetmnuch of your politieal rights. Preciselyso. Every time you #tay away you are trusting somebody else, and after & while, if calamity, aod misfortue, and destruction pile down upon the people, you hava @o right to go around complaining of your o I will go and take some fellow with me, and ses my vote is in, and’ look upon his while am there, and ses that nobody is chiselivg or going to vote more than once, I will have tress- ured a high right, and when I go home, or any of you fo home, you will feel better for it. I feel it to be my duty always, when request- ed, or without being requested, whio I live and enjoy its blessings, as I ever have enjoyed them. 8 10 impress npon my countrymen and myself the high duty, the great necessity, of always at- tending elections and exercise the elective fran- chiso of voting at the pols your own cboics and your own preference. I may come to ion and try to persusde you, and arguo with you, and you may come to me and try to persusde me, and argue with me, to pursue =& certain Lne of politics, or to vote for & certain person. ‘(hat is legitimate political warfare. That is the nght of fres de- bate and free discuesion. When the debate is over and the discutsion closed, it your mind is ‘made up,~—and your mind should be made up on this matter to-day,—it ought to be your pleasure to go and PUT YOUR VOTE INTO THE BALLOT-ROX. [Cheers.] If you vote sgainst me, I have no right to be offended at vou: I Lave no right to e exception. Itis your free American choice; it is your freeman choice; and once you have exercised it, 1f it be upon the Rmaliest ofico ur the greatest oflice in the gift of the people, so you have exe it, yon have & right to go peaceably away from the polls, and, in order to exercise it, u have the right to go peacoably to the polls. No pimp, no ragamufiin, no sweli-lip, bas a right to interfere between you and me and the bsliot- box. The road to tho ballot-box ought to beas | broad as the Tosd to the pearly gates. [Ap- planse.] Noman has s right to put himeelf yn the way of a free man on hig way to vote, and I would go there and vote, and vote right, and voto as your consciences dictate to you to-night. koow very well I would not vote it straight. I | would vote fora man against whom thers is nothing that csn bo urged. sgainst whom thero areno suepicious oircunistances, for aman or men who s:and fairly before you, and who, if elected, will sdminister the affairs of the county nud city oo the road that leads to justice, economy, and fair dealing. You are interested, you canuot 8ay you are not ipterested. Show mo tho humble hod-carrier in this city. tbe man wbo with his strong arm pounds the iron, and shoves the plane, or any 10an, be he ever o low, if he be s man of proper feelings I will show you the honest image of an American citizen who has all the rights that tho President of the great Reprblic or the highest man in the lapd his. Such & msn ougitto go for his choice and vote for the right, for the moral ticket, the ticket io the interest of good government, and which is po combination or op- position for the object of disgracing this Govern- ment. B, EXERY A, STORRS 7 followed Gov. Oglesby, and was greeted with applavse. He szid thac this was the first time in seversl years that he had taken part and ad- dressed sudiences on local political guestions. He waa giad to see 50 yast an zudience m _num- bers and chaiacter before him, 1t showed that the people had an interest in local political affairs that ascended above party issues. It might seem strange to on outsider that so great 80 1nterest ehon'd be taken in our local pobitical juestions by the Icboring and business mea, 'heir interests in, and love for Chicago, was not limted by their purses or bank-accounts. There Wera tens of thousands in Chicago who would bare their breasts for the pnde, and glory, and protection of tho city. Why was this interost provailing? ho asked. The hand of the ruf- fisn had gmitton this great city in tho face and insulted its men and women, and the peoplo were determined thot rowdyism shall be pat down. The order-loving peaple were largely in the ascendsucy in Chicago, and they could pat down rowdies, <imps, and bunko-stearers. They should not think that the men of Chicago were sslesp; the tocsin of war had sounded, and had shaken Hesing and his crew. “he peo- ‘ple wonld shake him to pieces as an enraged lion | wonld & rat. He asked them if thoy would place in the hands of one man the city and coanty, snd ho to bo self-slectad. [Cries_of **No! mno!™] All the questions of purity of the ballot-box must take a tangible sbape. [t came down merely to the candidates running for ofice. Hesing and his friends said thst the Repablicans had praised him in times gone by, and be was now circulating a letter which was written to bim in 1669. 'Tho speaker quoted a portion of his own letter which Hemng was parading to the pablic, andis a8 follows : + Lova for you wili even st for you beyondtho grave.” He tbought that wss zporopnaie at present, 26 would be shown next Tuesday, when his political grave would be dug. * The speaker gavo o sarcastic review of Hoe- ing's political course during the puat fow years, 2nd compared him to the Prodigal Son, ot sdded that Judss was an apostlo loug before Paul was, thongh Panl did by ferthe best ser- ~ice. Supposo, he aid, Judas, after selliog his Seeter, had offered to run for County Treasurer of judea. He drew 3 ghttering picturs of Hes- 1ng's podition st prescat, snd showed how he bad 10 show ths lio to thorecommendation given himsix yesrs before. Hesing claizced that bo was not to blame for his followers. But they Xkoew that if they handled pitch some of it woutd stick to their bauds. This bold man dared to at- tempt & coalition of netionslities in ordsrto con- trol them, and gell and buy them, at bis will. Bu, he ueid, thoy would rise against this mau. and no Insh or Geyman citizen coald be bartered awsy by Hesing. The achieveinent of our great liberty was pot of nationslities, but of Americen citigens. This man Nesing endeavored to drsw the iine of nationalities, aud they could not help but see that it would destroy Hesiny, who was sesking 10 use them for a purposs so unholy. He was proud of boicg an Americen citizen, and bad seen Chiczgo grow in graudear unprecedont- el Heaeied if Heging did not almost hold in bis hollow, trembling haud nesciy every oftice- holder in the counnty. He bad compeiled the County Commistioners to do hia bidding in the appointwest of juages of election. They were but cough in. Ius hsods, and he wonld not blame the dough, bt {he baker. Heting had controlisd the cluba fram the Bean to the Jetferson, and they had blighted at his touch until all respociable men hed left zhem. Conventions and judges of election werg ocntrolled by this Bosa, and be made all wnder ‘his control bow to hus tyrannical behests. Hes- ing tried even to control a meeting of business smen, whils he was surronnded by a mob, tha like o1 which was pever befors seen in " Thiero thie Baté of tho, rafisns Aa Boss wan B T s e | i 3 ' { I of the city. He ssked them to resent this ter- rible outrage on Tuesday next, In ordinary times, business men did not stop to talk politios 1 meetings, but when the right of the ballot- box was asgailed they rose in their might. The baliot-box meant everything, including the safoty of Chicsgo, and he believed that on next Tuesdey the people would defend the ballot-box 29 if with a corden of steel. They knew the scenes at Farwell Hall and the diegrace put upon their city. It was & question whether Chicago shoald be placed in the hands of a mob. They ehould rise in their migbt, as the rights of froe- men were imperiled by the mobs of Mr. Hesing. He asked the old citizens to come forward and take a handin politics, He cited New York aa an example of mob rule. The scenes at Farwell Hall on I'riday night bad thoroughly aroused the sitizens to a sense of their duty and danger, and every other issue was thrown off. He asked the honest citizens to come forward and vote for the right, and see that honest Tien wera elected on Tuesday pext. and if they did their duty justice would ba dons. COUNTY-COMMIESIONER EURDICK was the next speaker. He was greeicd with cheers. Ho had lived in the vicinity of the hall during the past fifteen vears, and had alwass been & Republican, but he thought an explana- tion was necessary £8 to his conucction with the corrupt Board of County Commissioners, and how ho came to ba elected to it, and afterwards Chairman. Ho said he never sought after the office, and was elected without having strivea for the position. He was elected on the People’s ticket, and felt 1 hia duty to act withit, be- cacse it was then weak. It was that party which had elected him. Six new mombers wera eloc.ed that year, pledged to honesty, and they asked him ~ to sarve as Chbairman, and elected bim. They afterwards drew off from him, and he had beeu with the minori- ty. He said that Mr. Clough had boldly fought for the people's rights in that County Bonrd. He then reviewed the estimate of tbe levy for the ensuing year for county expenses, a8 pub- lished 1n Tug TrizoNE. They bad run bebind this yeer hocanse the Board did not stand by tho minority. The County Commissioners wero important officers. and he compared Pat Mul- loy with Mr. Murry Nelson, John Jones, and Pat Cleary, and said that Pat was a gentleman, but Jones was far superior to Pat, and by far the best man. After o few words from Mr. Olough, the ‘meeting adjourned, with cheers for Mr. Clough and the Republican party. MINOR MEETINGS, AT HEADQUARTERS. An impromptu meeting was held at the Re- publican headquartera yesterday moruing, ad- dressed by Gen. Logan, the Hon. C. B. Farwell, and others. There was no special object in the meeting other than to advance the interests of the Republican party and to express themselves on the conduct of Hesing in attacking the Far- well Hall mecting of the business public with bis mob. The greatest enthusisasm prevailed, and s firm determination to protect the ballot— ‘boxes Tuesday seemed to have scttled upon all. Gen. Logan said the fight was & common one in defense of honest government against the combination of thieves, led on by Hesing. Neither nationality nor politics entered into the canvass now, but the fight had narrowed down to honesty an against dishovesty, and & pure ballot-box sgainst an impure one,—honesty against corruption. Bince Hesing had shown his cloven foot at Farwell Hall, there was no longer a doubt about the result of the election. He belioved that the friends of =zn honest Government would achieve soch & victory Tuesday =88 would thrill the entire Stato with joy. The attempt to carry the election by frzud first developed itself in tho repeal of the Regiétry law, which waa fol- lowed by the partiality displayed in the recent appointment of judges of election.: Under tho circumstances those who wonld not raily to the polls in defenso of the ballot-box wers up- worthy to be called freemen. Ho was opposed to mobs. and their leaders, but since the police had refased to protect the business pub- lic in their rights to meot aad discuss the issues of the day, the people would have to protecs themselves, and he was ready to fall in the ranks, toput on his arms and defend the public interest at the point of the bayonet if necessary. [Appiause.] The mob at Farwell Hall tho evering previous bo wae sausfied conld only be met with arms, and he would Jead a soldiery to defend the purity of the bellot-box against them. Mr. Hesiog's crowd was @ disgrace to the city, aod Hesiog himself pot only a diegrsce but » dishonest tyrant. [Applauze.] The Hon. C. B. Farwell said he was not in the habit of making public epeeches. but he feit & greas deal like his namesake, Johu V. Farwell, who bed spoken at Farwell Hall tho evening provious, lo was mad. and the enthusiasm on all hands convinced him thet those within his ¥oice were not only provoked but docply in ear- nest in protecting tho parity of the ballot-box. Ho felt thet speoches were out of place, aad ought to give way to work, and that everv man who could do suything ought o be in his ward Jaboning night and day for thie common intercst to 84d to the glory and tri- umph of the defeat which awaited the Oppos: tion party. He urged his hearers to leave noth- ing nndone that would contribuse to the succues of the catire Republican ticket. [Applanse.) Ald. Gill, Robert Clark, L. B. White, Senator Woodarq, J. J. Healy and others addressed the meeting, which throughout partook of the char~ ncter of & general rejoicing. THE EIGHTH WARD, The week of excitement, of anxiety, and of hope, which has beea cndured by the Republican voters of the Eighth Ward, closed last ovening with a rousing meeting 2t Orchestrian Hall, No. 3881 Bluo Island avenme, The gathering mani- fested iutense enthusinem and mors of 1ntercst than bas characterized the previous assemblages of the partyinthat section of thecity. The mesting was presided over by Mr. Willian Jus- tice, who introduced Col. Muna in an appropri~ ate manner as the first epeaker. He remarked that the Democracy of Hesing reminded him of » chap who became sick in consequence of mixing his dnoks. If Nir. Hesing and his crowd would administer public affaurs better than any one else, vote for him. Butif tho public odicors, the Commissioners and the County Treasurer, who acted only in obedience to Hesing, who wera making illegal contracts, who were using the public fands for uulawful purposes, were to bo teken as & crite- rion, be was not the best man to serve the peo-~ ple, He reforred to the Fridoy night meetiog, which bad changed 1o less than 3,000 votss that bad been é}mflm:zly plodged ' to Hosing's support, ond ‘which his zction at that meetiog hod deaded adversely to himself. ‘The uprising of the people, the course of tha merchauts of Chicago wbo defied the stormy night, and went to Farwell Hall to consider the crisig, moant that they were determined to stop the peculation and malfeasance that was rife among the oounty officials. And whom didHosing sitract to the meeting a8 his supporters? Mika McDonald, Jobn Rountree, Frank Agnew, and men'of that kidncy, who werc a powerin the ranks of the Opposition, and who would dictate to Hesiug the courss ho shall pursue if elected. He concluded by rebearsing o amusing story ‘which tickled the sudience, and hoped that each and every voter in the Eighth Ward would dohia daty on election day. Murry Netson, candidato for County Commis- sioner, Was the noxt speaker. He pledged him- self 1f elected, to furnish no more musty beans to the paupers and inszne putients of Cook County, and when ocontracts wers awarded, he would see that they were execated in good faith. He 2aid there was no doubt as to the resnlt, But that assurance migut be made doubly sure he trusted that every voter would do hus duty Tues- eeches were made by Capt. Patrick McGraw snd others, when the meeting adjourned. THE POUNTEENTH WARD. An excellent meating of the Kepublicans was held last night at the corner of Lake and Sey- mour streetd. The attendince was large, and highly respectable. Afartial music was dis- coursed by drum and fife to arouse the combai~ ive natures of thoss present, with the Lopes that such feslings would stay aroused till Tnez- day. Mr. William Willisma was called to the chair, oud the evening's work commenced with 8 spoech from Mr. Bood. The speaker dwelt for some @ rights of the le, the terrible ::.Tzee'ixnpgn:ticsg the county ‘-’enoa’z.n had drifted, and urged all men to be in attendance atthe polls, and be satisiied that all votes wers legal, and that no one was allowed to vote more than o“&[.e;. Luther L. Mills was the next speskor. He began by stating thet He:ng's race wes run Friday night in Ferwell Hali; be refarrod to the occurrences there 8s the warst case of rios snd insolt that this city bod ever scen. He branded tho Opponition party thronghout as s bacd of bage conepirators, and argued thas “the people noed no longer fesl that thore was any danger from thom, for ihe seal of condemns- placsd nponm thelr actions; for tion waa b Jsaded aill il ths chasges e {0 ety Usith, sxd G ad come ont and shown their true colors, l‘:?lyf.:n there were teeth aod claws seen in their makeup. Mr. Mills characterized the followers of Hesing as Bridgeport * thugs,” bullies, prize- fighters, and cowards, and the performance of Friday night 88 8D example of the maoner in which Hesing would try to forther his ends, viz.: by fraud and force. The speaker closed with predicting at least 15,000 majority for the Republican ticket 1n the County of Cook. Mr. W. A. Baldwin, from Philadelphia, spoke in high terms of the city and peopls of Chicago, and made a briof speech concerning the musiei- pal affaira of this sod other citios. Ho exhorted all men to go to the polis and protact the ballot- X bo.\!r. S. M. Booth, the gentleman who mede such n good stand in Farsell Hall, beiug loudly called for, spoke briefly upon the disgraceful scenes enscted, and adviced ull present to give up their business Tuesday aud see an hotest election. Mr. Booth is a judge of election in the Fonrteenth Ward, and he volunteered to see that no stuffing of his box went on while be was around, aud be shonld be there, he eaid, from 7. 8. m. till the votes were counted at night. hort speeches were then made by ilesars. Boss, Gill, Goodhue, Quirk. and Dixon, all teading to the same point, the protection of the voters aed tho legslity of the votea. THE SIXTEENTE WARD. That not all the Germana of the North Side Dlindly foliow the lead and dictation of Hesing was shown by the large and enthusiastic meet- ing held at the cerner of Clyboura avenue and Dayton street, in the Bixteenth Ward, last even- ing. The meeting wsa organized by the election of Mr. Charles Greiner 28 Chairman, and Joseph Jewell a8 Secretary. Alr. Seribner, the first speaker, alluded to the fact that a complels chaoge had come over the ‘people of the North Side since the ruffianly con- duct of Hoesing and his mob at the merchants’ meeting at Farwell Hall. Hundreds of those who but a day or tWo 2go wers blind adherents of Hesing were now denouncing him, and would vote for Huck sod the Ropublican party. There was but one respactable party io the fleid, and that was the Republican party. The Oppo- sition was orgunized for the purpose of plunder merely. At one election it was the Deoplo's party, at another the Opposition party, and then tho Cosmopolitan, or Uniop, or some other party, just us theyv thoughi to eatch the votes of the people. The object of the members of the Op- position party now m?:tn enrich themselves by the building of the Court-House. The oxtra £19,000 wiuch Haines got for msking the founda- tion went into the pockets of the ring. This thing must be stopped at once, or else the taxes which our citizens would be reqmred to pay would become unbeafable and ruin tne city. ME. JOHN J. HEALY, candidate for the office of Clork of the Superior Conuut, was next introduced, and made a fow per- tinent remarss, sayiog be was no epeaker to make a lengthy speech. He had been brought up iu the Sixteenth Ward, and hoped his old comrades would stand by him. [Voices—** Wi will.”] He was confident of carrying the Si: teenth Ward. Three hearty cheers were given for AMr. Healy. 2 Judge Woodbridge was next introdficed, and made & most able speech, which created im- mense enthusiasm. He said this was not a qguestion of parties. The Opposition party was no party at all. Ho had secn waoy sach bybrids and they were invariably fracds and humbagy. "The regular parties wera the only ones thut cotld be trusted. Shameful acts were committed by the Oppogition partly 1o the name of reform. The Sixteenth Ward Glee Club was then intro- duced, and regaled the meeting with some splendid songs. < N Messrs, Ruchard Michaelis, of the Neue Irew Presse, and Mr. Carl Haussper addressed the meeting in German. Grest enthusiasm pre- vailed thronghout the mesting, aond there 1s hardly & doubt that the Sixteenth Ward will give 2 good account of itself on election-day. THE RISETESNTH WARD, There was a good turnont and a very enthusi- astic meeting of Nineteenth Ward Ropublicans at 440 North Clsrk street last evening., O. W. TFuller presidod. Col. A. C. Eilitborpe said he would talx fwo minutes. It was too lato in the day for long speeches. Thore was one issue; it was made Friday night at Farwell Hall. Was one man to rufe, or woere the whole people to take s hsnd? Hesing boasts that he carried the Germaus in one pooket, the Irish in aoother. 1t was to be seen whether his boast was true. Wehad had o notable experience with & Treasurer at an expenso of $480,000. Miller, the present County Tressarcr, did not waut Huck to count the money. For that very reason we should inxist that he should count it. Ho referred to the ecene at Farwell Hall. It was & shams and disgraco to see Hesing there leading Mike McDonald and his buoko gang to broak up that sesemblage. [Cbeer&{l Capt. J. J. Healy was received with applause. Ha would merely say that he was the caudidate of the Nepublican party for Clerk of the Superior Court. He had received the nomination without solicitation. and ba expected the votes of honest men. 1o had lived among the citizens of tha North Side for ma: eary, and was known to Gevmans and Irish He did not ask their voltes because Le was of igh birtby but because Le was an American citizen. [Loud cheers.] Fraok Dickson entertained the audience with & Bong, of which the burden was Hesing and his mob, and thoe Farwell Hall meeting. Mr. Jobn Atwater eaid Mr. Hesing was 5,000 votes worse off than he was before the mesting Friday night. The Opposition were trying to turn back the tide that had turned so strongly against them, by asserting that the right of froo speech was denied them. It was not necessars to talk much about that. Hesing bad 0o business there; it was not bis kind of =& meeting. [+Thavs so.”] He had no more right thers than any one had to g0 into one of the churchea to-morrow aud dis- turb the services there, becsuse he did not be- liove in their kind of roligion. [Applause.] Mr. Hesing hsd less resson thon anybody else to claim that free speech hed been denied him. No man in Cook County had been heard 80 much as he, and on every side of the question at that. ‘Why, last year he appeared asa reformer ! What a fall since then, from s reformer to a leader of thieves and gumblors. Mr. Rofinot eaid he was a naturalized French- man, and had nothing to do Wwith palitics since 1869. But when Le saw bis pocket in danger of being picked by thieves and pluoderers, he shought it time to wake up and come to the res- cue, The American peoplo wers honest, snd it Was not becoming in foreigners to come hero and vote {hioves 1ata office. - Mr. Wiley said he was a Democrat of loog standing, but proposed to go for Huck and hon- eet Government. Wo must jnsist ou » fair deal, and we would regret it if we did not demand this much at the polls Tuesday. iIr. Fitsch saw a good many German faces, and he would talk to them in their own tongme. Mr. Sheldon, another Old-Lino Democrat, 8poke for Huck, and other speakers followed. THE WORKINGAMEN. A largely-attended meeting. of workingmen wos held yesterday afternoon at No. 381 Blue Island avenue. Addressea were made by various speakers, all of them asreeing that the working- men should ¢urn ous and defeat their Arch-ene- my Mr. Hesing, by voting for Huck. THE OPPOSITION. THE COUNTY CLERK. MUSTERING THE DOYS FOL ASSESSMENTS. The disgracetal conduct of Hesing and his mob in attacking the Farwell Hall meeting was felt in the County Cleri's office yesterdsy. Gen. Lieb gave the entire day to stirring around among his employes, and to Lrying to convince them that Hesing had done the right thing and waa entitled to their everlasting suppor and sympathy. His argumenis fell flat on many, bt by otbers they weore received with s messore of gratitication, especiailv by that class who have become so much like their master that they allow some ane else to do their thioking. In some instances where the argu- ments were mot so well reseived as it was thought they ought to be, they were strengthened by elight intimations that tbe number of em- ployes was to be redoced, and that those who did pot vote and work for Hesing would be the first to bo forssken. His effortd proved of yery little avail in_his per- sonal solicitations, and he found many who wers bold enongh to say that they would sacrifice their positions rather than sell themselves to a #chemo to plander the public treaeary, ond ot~ ng‘a‘vzry #epse of justice and right. in the alternoon, &3 & Iast desperats ef- fort, Lich CALLED A MARS-MESTING of the employes at 4 o'clock, ond after Deputy Horneday had made a few remarks prefstory to those of Gen. Lieb, tho lstter commenced his cration. In eobstonce ho said: VWhen I became Couonty Clerk, I dscided that o8 I owéd my elclton to the Pyopla's party, no Paepublicans nsed soply for Ay pokisiun “within my ;. I belisted, tny still believe, the Democratio (I call the child its name) party had all the needful mtenl!hhy) do theoffice-work,and I held, and atill hold, that only those belonging to that party have an: right to expect employment inmy offics. - It there is here to-night & man who does not sup- port the Opposition party, aod who is not fully prepared to work faithfully for Bucces8 on the . day of election, he omght to get out at once, He is nct wanted bere. None but Democrats need apply. I know there are traitors hers, but 10 man has been taken 1nto my office except up- on the recommendation of Opposition support- ers, and if they become traitors I cannot help it, nor ig it my tault ; bat after next Tuesdsy, if ther are not men enough to go voluntanly, L suall help them,—they’llbe kicked out. Tbere was & dastardly ontrage committed at Farweil Hall last vight, an outrage npon the right of o free man to defend his character when aasailed, a0 ouirage upon free Specch, and an effort to choke off the righteous words of one who had been grievously maligned. . The General wont an to stato that all was well in the Farwoll Hall meeting until the denunciatory resolutions were read and then when Hesing, the man denounced, was quietly making his way to the platform to re- spectfolly ask a fair hearing, be had & pistol, um- brella, and fists ionumerable shaken in his face, and was prevented from saying a word to the sudience. ‘The remarks continued some time, and closed with an admonition to every man to go to his voting precinct ‘Tuesday and stay thero—distrib- uting ballots and working for the best intereat of_thio Qpposition party. Hornaday then derired those present to an- swer roll-call, and state the ward in which they lived, in order to give instructions about elec- tion day. e LIEB. WIS INSTRUCTIONS TO ELECTION~JUDGES. Couaty-Clerk Lich has come forward boldly to the rescue of his owner, and has done all in his pover to make things easy for Tuesday. Hehas issned a circlar to judges of eleccion, nominally inetructing them in their duties, but really fur- nishing them the apparent authority to staff tho boxes at their owa sweet will. It 18 an open and shaweless defiance of law, and a proclamation to repeaters and stuffera that they are to recoive all the aid that the County Clerk can give them. The circular is in parts like 8 Ledger novel, and is 8 very fair exposition of the law down to the part pumbered sixteen, which is as follows : If the judges of election are satigfled that any person offering to yole i# entitled to vote they can rece.ve his vote, even if ho ia challenged, withont requiring him to make ailidavit, 1f they are not satisfied thathe 18 entitled to vote, and his Yots is god, ho must ‘make nfidavit of Lis right to vote, and an affdavit of a witness is required by Inw. Without bandsing words over this matter, it may be said that this is an infamous lie ; the judges of election have no such power under he law, and cannot have. The opinions of the best luwyers have been obtained on this matter, and they all declaro that the Conaty Clerk has excesded his powers, and done just whathe had no right to do in thus offering an opportu- nity to the gang who propose to stuff the boxes and repeat. The effect of this circular is as plsio ass pikesiaff. The County Clerk has gent ont these circulars as the exposition of the law, and Tues- day tboy will bs 0 regarded by the judges. ‘fno sceno ab the polls may bo imagined: A burly ruflian or genteel bunko roper from the gavey will appeas beforo the judges, who are Opposition in every important ward, sad will ask with 8 wink if the judges are mnot satisfied, =od with a full chorus, or with only one dissent- ing voice, they wili reply that they are satiafied, and that tho vote must be received. Tho circular i3 an infraction of the law, and is 50 fiomed as to allow substitution of the will or wish of tho judgea for thu requirements of the law. A more barefaced proclamation has never been seen. GENERAL NOTES. HESING. About noon Mr. Hesing wzs so perplexed by the demands of visitors to rise and explain his conduct of the night previous, that he arose from the political quagmire in which he found himself to make a speech and placo him- self square befors the * thieves and scoun- drels.” He was bowed down, and had the ap- pearance of being entirely used up. His voice trembled, his maoner was deliberate and calm, but his romarks were disjointed, and apparently lacked satisfaction to himself. He ssid he went to the Farwell-Hall meeting by the invitation of friends, but was satisfiad he had made a mistake. Ho did not want to speak, but vielded to his friends. Tho whole situation was porplexing in the extreme, but he believed the treatment be had received had been directed agmnst his nationality rather than bimself, aod if he could impress that ides upon the Germans he thought the error he had committed would not prove 80 disasirous after all. He kad no in- tention of giviog up the canvess now, as much 88 he regretted tuat he bked ever entered it. He would fight the battle henceforth to the bitter end, and whateyer mistakes had been made could be remedied at the ballot-box if hig friends would go to the polls determined to win at all hazards. Ho did not want to see any blood shed, but if the worst must come, rather than that the Opposition ticket should be defeated he would urge every man to do his daty, The par- ty had great intercsts at stake which could not be sacrificed, snd Le belioved his ‘‘friends” would stick by bim sad do his will. [Applause.d FRANE AGNEW. Promigent and foremost _smong the Hesing supporters, ostensibly, is Frank Agnew, Sheriff of Cook County. He was ove of the mob—one of the most muscular—who attempted to force Mr, Hesing on the merchants Friday evening. Ho saw that the champion of the Connty Ring was in a desperate sirait, and knew that lus downtall would be s blow to tho chigue who man- ipulate the contracts and regulate his rates for letiug prisoners, otc. Agnew is really oot working o much for Hesing as for the perpetu- atiou of the Ring with which he i8 iden- tifed. He sesks the eloction of Mulloy, Crawford, Cleary, aud the two others on the Hesing ticket to the end that the Ring may be kept intact, or even stronger than st resept, and is working day and night like go-vor to gain bis peint. His apecial purpose in obtaining the election of his favorites is to raise the rates of diet of the prisoners under his charge from tho present figure, 85 cents per per- 5o, to 50 cenis, the price Hesing got whea ho was Bherift soms years ego. Tho honest mem- bers of the Committee on County Relations, of the County Board, Mr. Clough among the num- ber, recently examined into this matter of foed- ing the prisoners, and found thatit could be dono at an actusl cost of 1734 cents per man, and at 25 cents realize a good profit. Now, Agpew has not sent in sy bill for dieting pris- oners for some time, and his reasons for hold- ing off emcetho price wascut down ara Bp- ut, Thero are, ho_says, $8,000 due him for fecding prisouers, sud Le haa £4000 in his bands, which were coilocted as fees for the service of papera, This Iatter sum he proposes to hoid as & get off, and when the Ring i3 again complete he will present his disting bills at the advanced rateof 50 ceuts, aud thus flesce the tax-payers. THE POLES. Among those of our adopted citizens who work most xssiduonsly and fsitafutly for the success of tho Republican ticket are the Poles, There is bardly » Pole to be found in thus city who is not opposed to Besing and in favor of Huck. + They Il quite & large vote in the city, and’ I\? ‘i:[exinz is quite anzious to have them change their opinions and come over to the Opposition party, For this urposs, o has secursd the sorvices of & Polish stholic priost to go smong bis countrymen. most of wgom are devout Catholics, and impresa them with the ides that the Republican party to obliterate Catholicism in this was tryio conmsy’. o appeals in & small dirty paper ublished by o certsin Dymewica, who = has sizo en purchased by the Opposition party, to the Jowest prejudices of his race, snd begs them to vote ng‘:ing: the Republican party if they wounld save their religion, otc, This prieat, whose name is Theodore Gieryk, was but (ately kicked out of Detrojt by tho Bishop of that city for 1m- proper conduct.

Having boen orzanized by the election of Mr. C. Gentile 23 Chairman, the meeting was ad- dressed by Gen. Lich, who began to esplain the political ‘situstion according to an original and improved methol. Ha said that the Farwell Hail meeting on the previous evening had resut- rected the old 1deas of Know-Nothingism, and that the Americans had banded themselves to- gother against all foreigners. Lieb was foilowed by hus clerk, Cornienti, who procseded in the same strain, endeavoring to convince the ignorant hearers that to save them- selves from ennihilation they must vote for Hesing Tuesday. The Americans, he said, bad determined to close np all the ealoons. Much more balderdash he enunciated, with the effect ouly of bewildering tbe audieuce. The meeting then adjonrned. HESING IN 1861, A correspondent reminds us of an incident ‘which occurred in 1861 that may prove not with- out interest to voters of Irish nativity, for whose support Mr. Hesing is now bidding by the most demagogical appesls. It wag whon the recruit- ing was in progress and thers were three tents erected in the Court-House Square 28 rendezyous, one German, one Scandinaviao, and one Irish. On the latter floated Erin’s banner. Aa it fioated in the breezo it caught Mr. Hesing's eye, and had the effect on him of & red rag oo an infariated bull. He entered the tent and threatencd to tearit down if it was notlowered. Bat there ‘were too many stout Irish arms ready to uphold that bit of buoting, and Mr, Hesing had finally to make himself scarce io a hurry. Perbaps Irishmen who havea't forgotten the incident will remember it Tuesday, and, when thair ballots are counted, Mr. Hesing will make himself scatce again, . THE SCANDINAVIANS. Notwithetandiog Mr. Hesing's demagogery and desperate efforts, by resort to false pretensos, to trick them into voting with his bummers, the Scandinavian voters have not been deceived, and will, almBst to s map, cast their ballots for Mr. Huck, and sgainst the lawless element repre- sented by the Oppoaition ticket, headed by Alr. Hesing. g A MIVAL MEETING, Directly after the Farwell Hall meeting of Fri- day evening, the leaders of tho Hesing crowd made up their micds that they would get up a counter-meeting, and for that purpose caused notices to be ineerted in the Opposition papers that there would be an Opposition mass-mesting Saturday evening in Kingsbury Hall. Bat it seems that they counted without their bout, or, in other “words, they announged the meetfing to take place thero without waiting to find out whether the hall could be engaged or not, Yesterday morning they learned that the hall could not be obtained ; hence, a fizzle. They, however, announce that the meet- }r:g will come off to-morrow ovening withont HESINC CORRESPONDENCE. HESING AND THE JUDICIABY. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune : Cricaco, Oct. 30.—Mr. Hesing has abused and driven from the Bench some of its moss deserr- ing members, and he haa placed upon it some who should never have been there. Besides, he bas kept therefrom many persons who should have been there. He bas done all this by abuse and misrepresentation of men tbrough his newspaper, which has been kept alive by the people’staxes. Few Americans can read German papers, and many Germans read uothing else. Aod in high party times Hesing has threatened his party with the opposi- tion of the Germans if they did oot nommato the men he wanted. He firat prejudices men with the Germans, aud then claims that they ate unpopulisr because of the very prejudice that he himself has created. Coot: Counts never hed & purer man upon the Bench than Graut Goodrica. But hs wonld not couform hig decisions to Hesing's odicts, and the party ward-meotings wers packed sgainst him. He consulted the law aud the Conmstitution more than he did the Staals-Zeitung, avd be had to leave tho Bench.

'WHAT HESING AND HI8 NEWSPAPXR HAVE HAD. o ths Editer of Tie Chicago Tridune : Caicago, Oct. 30.—No sooner had Hesiog ar- rived in town than he began tobeg for place. Ho waa given a position in the Sherif’'s office. Then ho was made Sheriff. Then he got throagh the Legslature the special law requiring all the advertisements and Council proceedings to bs published in his paper s fally as thoy were in English. Out of this law alone he has received fally $200,000. Then he insisted tuat his man, Herr Kreisman, should have a place in Germany go as to be his foreign correspondent. Then ho insisted that his _editor, Brootano, shonld bo seut to the Legialature and ke put iato the Schodl Board. George Schoeider was once interestod in the Staats-Zeitung. But when Schacider ceased to be interested, he insisted that Schneider shouid b removed snd either Brentano or himself ap- pointed in his place. And thers was nothing too vile for um to say abount Congressmen Aroold and Wentworth because they refused to bo par- 4168 to his warfare upon Schneider. Finally ho sacured the office for his editor, Raster, aud that of Presidential Elector. Besides all this, the belief is_generally preva- lent that he sharea the profits in office with Balomon, Fisher, aod others. Now he comes to the front and claims the best office m Cook County upon the ground thst his public ser- Vices have never been requited. He will find out after election that the people think he has bad too much already. . Anaus. PERTINENT QUESTIONS. To the Editor of Tha Chicago Trisune : Cmcaco, Oct. 80.—I hope you will allow me a few lines in your psper. Iam an old resident of long business acquaintanco in Chicago, and one who bas not miogled in politics. I feel it my duty to ask where the money that I pay for taxes is going and for what purpose. I wonld 2gk if this is the same A. C. Hesing thatis to- day asking us to belp him to restore his misfor- tune by electing him our County Treasurer. ls be not the same A. C. Hesing who has been geen about our streat in a drunken condition time and time again? Is he not the same man who, while on one of his drunken war-paths struck poor little John Comfort while drunk i James McGarry's, markiog him for life? Ta he not the same man Who sprained his ankle while on one of his grand sprees? Is he not one of the notorious party who figured w the Mathews Hospital lot? Echo snswers “Yes." Is he not the eame A. C. Hesiog to whbom C. F. Periolat told a man he paid $1,500 to keep quiet ? 1s he not the A. C. Hesing who tried %o break up the business-men’s meeting beld a: Farwell Hall Friday evening, to remonatrate against the ac- tion of the County Board in not allowing one Re- pubtican judge in a precinct,—backed by Mike AlcDonald, Mike Corcoran, Mike Geary, and Bean Periolat? If Periolat would come to the front and tell what he knows abont A. C. Hesing, it would bo enough, buat as Mr. Periolat’s business is of such a nature that it depends upon the election of Hesing, whether or not he can go on and plunder tho Treasury of Coolt County, I would suggest that ali the tax- payers and business men brand A. C. Hesing and his gang, Nov. 2. with condemnation. Heeing, %o have had enough of you; return to your drink. A Tax-PATER. BOW BIARSPEARE EXPRESSES IT.

To the Editor of I'he Chicago Tribune: Cricago, Oct. 30,—A certsin prominent offlcial and intimate friend, to whom Hesing intrusts some of his dirtiest work,—Gen. Lieb,~bhsa re- cently made the confession that he has given up aif hope of carrying this election by fair and hovest msans (33 though they ever had such an intention !); but, a8 they have gone so far, spent 80 much money already, and staked so much on the result, it would be infsmy and death for them to back out now. Hence the instructions of their leader, Hesing, alias McDonald, to pre- pare some duplicate ballot-boxes with false or sectional bottoms, and to emply any other meas ures, whether of fraud or force, to carry the election. To tnis official is aze1gned the dalicats task of selecting a corps of ballot-box stufers who nave proved experts in former slections, These men are already under pay and spacial drill for the occasion, and gxondfl night or Tuesdsy morning w:il benssigned to their warda. In this conuection I will mention avother fact, that Hesing has given each of hia creditors a solemn, if not writien, promise that ha will pay them in full, with intorest, if they will work to secure bis election ; and this explains why some who otherwise hate or despise him are now working for him. Mesing bas takon an oath tq pay them out of the public fands. C. HESING THE OAMBLERS' CANDIDATE. T the Editor of The Chicago 1yibune : Caicaco, Oct. 30.—Gamblers tricks carried thy last election, and gamblers tricks will carry $hit if Hesing is efected. What do honest Germant who get their money by bard work think of plao ing the money obtained by taxation from them in the bands of a set of gamblers, spendthrifts, and villsins ? How can the Germans, who lovs honosty and good goverument a8 they do theit own lives, and abhor all trickery and evil, vote for a candidato who, by associating with gam- blers and pimps and linkicg his fortunes with them, ehows that ho will do anything, no matter how fow and mean, {0 accomplish his enda ? I da not see how Germsns who respoct thomselves, sod koow thedifferance between ngntand wrong, can vote for a man so lost to manhood and salf- respect a8 to act as Hesing does. If the honest and induatrious German who it 80 prudent and saving, would not intrust hin hard-earned money to a gambler and spendthrift, ia heanv more eafe in surrendering it to the mblers’ candidate, & man 80 heavily and hope- lessly in debt that to extricate bimself heis obliged to extort a promise from his creditors to put him in ofiice before he can or wil pay them, —and st the sama time make oath to the gam- bling fraternity for their suppors that be will protect them and wake their business the chief industry in Chicago. ODDS AND ENDS. THE POLICE. THEI CONDUCT AT FAUWELL HALL. 1t is due to the police force and due to Mr. John V. Farwell, in oxplanation of the impeach- ment of the mansgament of the police made by him in the closing speech at Farwell Hall, to state that ho had very zood reazons for hia pitching into them. Since then matters have been explained a little more ealisfactorily. 3Mr. Farwoll, together with several other prominent gentlomen, called at Central Station during tho Progresa of tho rowdy disturbance, and wera informed by the Station-Keeper that Capt. Gund and propably about fifty men’ would be at the Lall by the time he got back there. Aod go it should have been, for Mr. Rickey had tele~ graph to the Chicago Avenue Station, snd in Supt. Hickey's name had ordered a de- tachmont to tha hall. But the stupidity of the atars that twinkle across the Rhine, led them away over to the petty fire on Canal strect, and they never weut near Farwell Hall It wsa this that Ar. Rickey meunt wheu he told Mr. Farwell that hewould find a larze forca of the police at the ball whon he returned. After Mr. Facwell's de~ partors the Statiou-Keepor telographed the danger of general riot to Supt. Hickey, and also to Deputy-Supt. Dixou, The dispatch to Dixon was bungled in its transmigsion through the North Siae stations, and was found yesterday at moon by tho. official %0 whom it was addressed. Tho dispatch to Supt. Hickey wes duoly received, and he started im- medistety for down town, bringing with bim, Sergt. Barrett ard 2 passs of eizht polico~ men from the Cottage Grove avenue station. By the time he reached Farwell Hall, howaver, the mob had dispersed, and Le found no disturb- ance thao that caused by a besotted Hesingite, who was hammering at the closed door, and shaking bis fists at imagmary figures in the darkened room inside, alltie while loudly shous- ing and cuvsing for Hesing to spesk. The posse fromthe Chicago avenue station returned to theix station after the fire, and kuetw nothing about the disturoance at the hall which they laft for. The officizis of the police forco rogret that they did not have a cmncu to show themsslves. Sapt. Hickey and kis Deputy, Joe Dixon, assert that election~day will prove conclusively that the police will not te permitted to carry out any pattisanship. They did mot expect any dis turbance, and detailed but four ofticers for duty at the hall during the evening. Dixon especially regrets his absence, and ko anxious is be to asserc himself that he remained at head- quarters all last ovening awaiting news of any politicel disturbances around town. This does all very well for Supt. Hickey and Joe Dizon, but when asked what they could da in the case of » Sergeant disobeving orders as wilifully as SERGT. U'CONNOR did on the night of the disturpancs, they omiv nously sbook their hesds, They know fall well thac they have no power to bounce snch a man. The Mayor alone has the power todo that, ag there 18 no City Marahal, 2ud it is entirely need- less for the public to look for anything good in this direction out of the Mayor's office. The Mayor bimself, Sherif Aznew, and all the tesd- iug lights of the Opposition, called at Police Headquarters, and, thoogh neacly all of them had the sore-head because Hesiog did not carry his point in tho meetmng, they found sufficiest ‘tine to exult at the action of the handful .of wvolice under Sergt. O'Conpor. The presence of that ofiicial was one of the best thiogs they could wiah for. ia pushed Mr. Hesiog forward aud did all bat put him on the piatform, encuuraged the crowd to put himthere py esying he would protect Mr. Hosing if ho once reached the platform, and conducted bimself in o manner intensely die- gusting to the gentlernen who nad hired and paid for the use of the hall. Previous 0 his arrival the four officers on daty had alone preserved ‘better order than this powerful,gigantic Bargeant, and their eficioncy redounds to their praise, snd may perhaps redound to their injury. They clwrycnw that Mr. Hesing's prosence and de- portment was the only source of contention, and they summarily ordered him to remain seated and bo guist, and more than once were they obliged to force him to his sest. Hesing expos- tulated with them, but theyinsisted that he should remain quict ; then his ordered them, bus they understood their business too well for that; then ke cursed them, toox their numbers, and threatened to seo them fitly punished for their interference with his little game. Then tho Sergun'. arrived, and auperiority compelied the ofticers to give way, and Hesing was protected by O'Cosonor and his posse, backed by the disreputable C. C. P. Holden, the blatant chops of Lisb, and s Lost of the most disreputable gamblers in town. In - such conduct as this is expect his_report of the rumpns to Snfit, Hickey, O'Connor stated that he did not hear Hesing #ay or do anytbing out of the way, or destruc- tive to the peace of the meeting. Then, indeed, must he be unfit for the position he holda. Knowing that there is & prevailing opinion that ted from the police on the day of the cletion, Supt. Hickey has cansed the promulzation of THX FOLLOWING ORDEXR Carrame: On Tuesdsy pext, Nov. 2, slection day, yon will detall suflicicat number of men ac the dif~ ferent voting-places in your precinct, whose duty it ahall be to presecve peacs and enforce . and yoo will place tho men at cach voting-place i charge of some patrolman who is thoroughiy competent <o discharge such duties, using the Sergeants and Houndsmen for that p: 34 far sa the pumber will yermit.
