Stout and Mahr for voting against the call for a spocial election, Fy ae CORRESPONDENCE, A CARD FROM ALD. FITZGERALD. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune: Curcaco, March 25.—In your iasus of this date you state thst ‘considerable surprise and com- ment is occasioned” by the fact that I voted sgainst the calling of a special election for Mayor; and youadd thst “Jt would be inter- eating to know the powerfal and peculiar consid- erations which operated to produce this remark- sble change of front.” Asap act of justice 1 suppose yon will publish my reply. Noconsider- ations either “ powerful or peculiar“ other than a conscientions desire todo what I believed waa best for the city operated upon me. Iam as Much interested in Chicago’a welfare as you are, and pay my taxes as prowptly as you do. And any injury to Chicago affects me just as seriously ay you. Neither Mayor Colvin nor any of bis family or friends had any influence whatever in controling my vote. And it is due to Mayor Colvin to say that be did not try to influence my action. I may add that in my judgment Mayor Colvin should have resigned his office after he held it for tho term for which be was elected; and, if he desired to retain it, he should have givoa the people s voice in the matter. I voted out of no consideration for Mr. Colvin. nor with any desire to aid, or thought of aiding, his personal or political ambitions. I am under no obligation to him. He ia under none tome. Iam able to live outside of politice and without fear of pi ians, and care noth- ing for their praise or censure. Mv sole pur- pose while serving in the City Conncil has been to serve the city faithfully, aud I defy you or any man to show asingle jobor ates! which has ever had my support. 1 believed, a8 I have said, that Mayor Colvin should submit his claima to the Mayoralty to a vote of the people. But since he did not do so, Idid not snd do not believe that it would be wise, in the presont state of affairs, to bring sbout the confusiou which would follow a con- test between two persons, each slainlog, to be Mayor. During that time disputes would arise as to whose approval of ordinances, whone sig- natures of warrants and certificates, and whose appointments were valid. These disputes would canse endless and expensive litigation, and be more detrimental to the best interests of the city than the holding of his office by Mayor Col- vin, By judgment was, and is, that uch litiga- tion and expense would drive the citv’s paper to proteat, and do immeasurable damage to every property-holder in Chicago. Let me add that I have not been requested by aingle resident of my ward to favor this eloc- tion, and I do not believe that the people de- sired it. Trua, & political club passed resolu- tions favoring the call I believo that Ciub represented the viows of its members, aud had no nght to be considered representative of the wishes of the people. Do not understand this statement as a desire to shirk the reaponsi- bility of my vote. I mention it as s mere inci- dent, to show that I do not believe that the peo- ple wanted the election, a3 you claim they did. Tf every man in the ward, however, bad re- quested me to vote for tho call, I should not ave done it, so long as to do eo would, in my opinion, be an injury to the city. When the people elected me as an Aldermaz, ther imposed certain responsibilities upoo mo. Daring my torm of office, no one but myself can bear those responsibilities, 2od_therefore no one bas any right to dictate how 1 should vote, and no clamor of either public or press haa any effect upon my igions. ae ‘alieve that I did the best thing that could be done for the city under the circumstences, and, beingconscious that my motives were the very best, I do not care whether I am praised or censured for the vote. But Idoinsiat, since I have acquired every dollar's worth of property I own by honest industry, and sioce my repute- tion for integrity and puritv of purpose has al- ways beep, avd now 18, a8 good as yours, that if you do censure my judgment you shall at least ihsvathe decency not to impuga my motives. Honest men differ sa to policy, apd honest men very often retuse to sallow the clamor of poli- ficians or newspapers to drive them to the per- formance of acts contrary to their own judg- ment, Beapectfully, Writs FirzGEsaLp. TURN THEN OUT. . ; To the Hdttor of The Chicago sribune: . Cuicaco, March 25.—You exprew surprise . fessetly Republican that some of the profess ailisip aa Aldermen should vote pan . aE bears election for Weymation of * Republican” fo ee Piidermen, for is it not s dis- with most of the ‘that the majority of grsco to the party to say tha 32 are good Republicans? However peacoat there may be, the majority certainly are 8 disreputable set.

That a0u8 af fhe Aldermen are at the head of thase balio . box atuffers was well illustrated on the trial o: the slection judgen'§ concluded. Two cf ue ast the with b Autor abo uses, quda thind ene was called, these Aldermen stated that there would be desd bodies found if we had another such election— that is, if the honest citizens tried to preveat ballot-boxr stuffing. And yet this man claima to be = gocd Republican, though he ‘bas ballot-boxes stuffed for the candidates that Days best. Now is it not time for the good of the party to disown such characters? I also wish to put in a protest against a Paragraph in Your paper of this morning, stating that the Republicans of the Eighteenth Ward bad elect- ed last night cortain delegates to the Town Con- vention. If you will examine your paper of Wednesday you will tud the Eighteenth Ward Repnblicana held a well-attended meeting Tuew- dey night. On motion of Fred Becker, they elected delegates to the Town Convention. Becker, not being elected delegate, without notifving the other citizeng, caited some friends together last night, dubbed it a Republican meeting, and had himself elected a delegate. If such meo as Becker are to control the Repubtic- avg of the Eightconth Ward. aud are indorsed by such pavors as Tue Turpune, the bext men will be forced to joave the ranks, As it is, 8 large oumber of the best citizens have, in order to counteract the move of such men, put an independent ticket for town officera in the field. If this ticket 1s treated fairly by the papors, most of thess mea will join the Republican ranks in the coming campaign. Shouid this not be the case, they mar be compelled to leave the ward sgain to the control of the ballot-box stuffers, and what the party gained last fall will again be lost. Pno Bono Puntico, COLVIN'S PATRONAGE, How the Friends of Aldermen Are Taken Care Of And Managers of the Charter-Election Frauds Provided For. The Board of Public Works Filled: Up with Vagrants, Amount Taken from the People to Feed These Rascals, In thege days of extravagance, the poor man who, while he vainly looke arouud for bread for his numerous family, vetis entitled to vote at the spring electicn for Aldermen, will read the following and be interested : After the illegal charter election the list of employes under the Department of Public Worka suddenly dwindled to alarming propor- tions. This was tho result of promises made by the chief interested parties in that infamous "72 charter campaign. All removals poseible were effected, but tnose fell far short of supply- ing places for the army of operators. Hence offices wera created by the dozen, to be ‘filled by snch men as Ed Neale, who, being discharged some timo ago, in these columns exposad the dirty aoings at the polis of the charter mob in the Niuth Ward. The comphteity of His Honor Mayor Colvin in tho nefarious business, it will be remembored, was oventy charged ia Nealo’s corumumecation. There was not the least necessity in the world for the positions thus created. Men like Ed Neale must be rewarded, howsvor, and sith the money of tho people whom they ‘succeodod in disfranchising by the process known st ballot bax atufling in the charter election. ‘WATER POLICE. The Common Council, in the consideration of thoAppropriation bill, recontly encountered m the estimates prepared by the Doard of Pub- lic Works the names of-cighteen water police, with a salary for each of $60 ver mouth, If the title “Whisky aud Beer" police had boen adoptod for the delectabls eighteen, it would be im the interest of trath, to say ths least. This a notorious fact that, with hardly a solitary excep- tion, the “ water police ” have done nothing to speak of since the charter election save inspect- ing leaks in whisky-bottles and beor-fancots in the close vicinity of the City- Hall and elsowhere, plaving poker, geyen-up, euchre, forty-fives, and ol.

During the severe winter of 1874 there was ‘use for such an institution ae water police, whose duty it was to report on frozen pipes, and @a- pecially upon wastes of water caused by allowing water to runcontioualle to prevent freezing. But upon the advent of the apring of 1875 the sys- tem should have beon at once discontinued. It was not—because there was s charter election coming, and the men who would carry it might be rewarded by a water-policeship.
