LEGISLATIVE NOMINATIONS THE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION. . The Democratic Senatorial Conventions were beld vesterday afternoon at the Headquarters, Ne. 77 Clark street. Shortly after meridian the small {ry politicians assembled in force, and frantically took possession of the bullding. The bummer element largely prevailed, and from the outset it was evident that they would not receds from the com- binations which they bad made. Among the promiuent Democrats present were Perry . Smith, Vol C. Turner, Eg Jamicson, W. C. Gouey, Gus Korn, Mike Evans, Bob Kenney, Dau Cameron, Hugh Mayer, Corunelius Price, Miles Kehoe, Tom Brennan, John Comisky, Clarley Kern, Pat Curroll, Pat Feeney, Gen. Cumeron, and Tom Courtney. Messrs. Smith, Goudy, and Turner held a cau- cus before the cotillion opencd, and tried to or- ganize a scheme by which the “silk-stockings,” as tie respectable elements of the party are called by the disreputable tag, rag, and bob-tail, could contrul the movements of the mob, buta survey of the scene, the hobnobbing of the Dbumners, and the amount of quict wire-pulling guing-on dissuaded them from making the at- tewpt. The greas bulk of the nominees are po- litical nobodics of unsavory reputation, and in éume instances they are positively disreputable. FIRST DISTRICT. The First District Conveation, consisting of the First, Nintd, und Tenth Wards, was calied J. Wurd Ellis, and Col. Snow- cd temporary Chadrman, and Joseph Scotield wemporary Seer On motivnof 3ir. Ellis, a Committee of Three s was appointed, and they reported gates present were entltled to inations for Representatives heing called oscs Wentworth was suggested. ~He was nomiuated, but it being evident that outsiders Duu voted for bnm, 1t was decided to take a bal- ot by wards. He received a unauimous vote. Francls A. Day, Cnulc_i( Kiug, and A. C. Story were also named. The former sccured 11 votes out of 19, and was declared to have been nowinated. The Couvention then adjourned. Moses Wentworth is u Representative now, 2ud is 2lso the nephew of his uncle. Day is a surt of partaer or clerk of Trude's. SECOND DISTRICT. It was anticipated that the Convention of the Becond District would have been held in the main hall, but the presence of the delegates to the Conventions of the Fourth and Sixth Districts, which were advertised to be held in the same place, created so large a crowd, and s0 much confusion, that the ciief manager of the party, Perry H. Sinith, was obliged to in- duce ex-City-dlirehal Goodell to surrcuder his oflice to the great unwashed, and_thitler the Bccond District delegates rushed .pell-mell. After & vigorous pounding of the table by George Hotoling, a reasonable amount of order was obtained, and, on motion, Gen. Hart L. Btcwart was appointed Chairmaw. Mr, Hotolinz ~ was =~ chosen Scevetary. A Comnitiee on Credentials _wias Ppoiuted, to whom were given several crumpled sheuts of paper stained with a rather crooked cherography. The Committee retired for a few moments, returned, and reported all 0. K. One Yacancy in & ward delegution was filled, and then the Convention proceeded to business. Mr. 8. Rankin nominated Claude J. Adams as 2 fit and proper candidate for Senator, and moved that it be unanimous. There being no otber aspirant for the honur, it was made so. Legislative nominations were next in order. John_ Maher presented J. E. Smith. Audrew Callaban offerd W. S. Brackett as 2 scope goat, but he declined in favor of the previous nomi- pation. P. T. ¥as suggested by a dele- gate from the Yarda. ot Wwas or- dered, resulting in Smith 21 and Barry 8. The geuylemen of ihe uncommon cognomen was de- dlared the upanimous choice of the Convention, On motion, the Chair was instructed to a; point a Senstorial Committee to consider the advisability of putting another legislative nomi- nee in the field, should the news trom the Indi- aua and Ohio elections next month prove favora- ble to the hopes of the Democracy. The Chair ‘appointed as such Committee C. C. Thxic: - Second_Ward; Cornelius Price, Third; A. B. Jones, Fourth? Hugh Mayer, Hyds Park; and P. McGurren, Lake. The Conventlon then adjourned. Adams is a not Jery prominent real estate arent. Mr. Smith ihe partner of M. W. Fuller, and 15 a highly-respected lawyer. THIRD DISTRICT. ‘The Convention of the Third District, com- wsed of the Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Wards, £as called to order by Milcs Kehoe, he being Beputized because none of the delegales kuew Yowtodoit. On motion, David Deist was clected tem- porary Chairman, and George ML Greenwald Temporary Secretary. A committee of three on credentials was ap- pointed. They spent nearly an bour in filling vacaucics in delegations, it being hard work seemingly to give satisfaction. ‘The temporary organization was made per- mancat. The following were named for Representa- tive: John MecNally, Andrew Enzenbacher, P. J. Hickey, Michsel McDermot, P. C. McDo- nald, Henry F. Sheridan. A dozen motions were made, and great dis- o:glcgd l&:";fltd. ‘Lllr Deist he;nme confused, pd air, and retired, yielding the chair to Ald. Cullerton. 5 A ballot was had and Saeridan got 10 votes outof 35. Under the rule adopted, baving re- ceived the highest number for any one men- sloned, be was declared nominated. On motion, Andrew Enzenbacher was nomi- nated amation. A ballot for a third candidate resulted in the election of P. J. Hickey. The Convention, which was characterized throughout by tae greatest disorder and con- fusion and {gnorance, then adjourned. Of theso candidates, Sheridan is a cooper, En- xeabacher is the old Justice, and Hickey is the ex-Alderman. FOURTH DISTRICT. The musicof the afternoon centered sbout the Fourth District Convention. This was called to order by General-Mapager Smith, who in- formed the'delegates that he had no desire to interfere in ana shape with their deliberations, but it was his daty as Chairman of the County Committes to see that the districts were prop- erly organized. On motion, Dr. George S, Thomas was ap- 4 tsmporary Chairman, He returned his ed phrases. Sev- toact as seribe, thanks in the usual stereot; eral gentleman were propos but all decl, uedldlcgin&lhat the duties were too vnero: Finally, W. H. Condon accepted temporarily. There being no contesting dele- gations, the credentials were handed up to the Chair, and, on motion, were accepted. L. IL. O’Connor was gppointed to fill a Vlfln% in the Eightl, and William Law, Jr., in the Twelfth Waurd. On motion of Charles Andrieux, the temporary Chairman was made the permanent lplmintce. The Lemiomry Secretary declined the honor, and, after half a-dozen had declined the office, the monotonous modesty with which the office was refused became decidedly tiresome. Final- 1y a Mr. Fraley was induced to accept. On motion of Charles Andrieux it was re- solvea to proceed to the nomination of & candi- didate for Scnator. A delegate proposed Francis Evans, and a kind-hearted countryman did the same for John F. Scanlan, the noniinee of the Greenbackers. W. H. Condon attempted to make a speech in favor of Scanlon, but wus iuterrupted by Charles Audrieux, who rose to the point of order that the gentleman bad not seconded Mr. Scanlan’s nomination. Coudon explained that be had been given the time allotted Lo the seconder, and proceeded to expatiute at length on Mr. Scanlan’s record as a Kepubdlican; the fuct that be had reccived the nowmiation trom the Greenback party, and that he bad pledged himself it elected to vote for a Demovratic candidate for United Btates Sena- tor— A voice—Scanlan is a fraud, He fuvored the election of Cooper, but re- garding lis candidacy as a forlorn “hope, would Support Tilden and Hendricks. Ou motion it was resolved'that the Chairman of Delegation announce the yote thereof. nf bullot was then had, with the following re- sult: Eighth Wand Eleventh War Twelfth Ward Total Alr. Danolds moved to mdke Scantan’s nomi- nation unznimous, which was immediately done. Evans’ fricnds here saw that their candidate was left, and began a dismal howl that the bal- lot wus au informul oue. At this time the lobby mcmbers begun to crowd up to the delegutes, and the different fuctions commenced a series of deafeniug crics, some insisting that the bal- Tot was formal, others that it was not. The Chair cvoked a little order out of the chaos, and suggested that a vote be takenon the formality. The yeas and nays were called, resulting in 19 of the Jormer aud 5 of tho latter. The mo- tion to make the nomination ununimous was again passed and carried. Loud cries were made for Scanlan, who was in the back part of the room. A delegate named Fitzgerald got up and in- sisted that the nomination was a fraud on the peanle. Mr. Scanlan at this juucture stepped on the platform and was recefved with cheers, though a Tew hisses were audible. After the tumult had subsided he remarked that words could not ex- ress the feelings that animated his bosom, ete. fiu was willing to let time tell. He stood thero to relieve the country from the incubus which 'was sitting over it. Nothing but a change in the Administration would save the country. A delegate—Will you support a8 Democratic candidate for Senator} Mr. Scanlan—Unquestionably. Another delegate—That ain’t enough. Will you support Tilden and Hendricks? Mr. Scanlan turned white, dropped his eyes to the floor, aud preserved a painful silence, which was participated in by all present for at least half a minute. “Will you support Tilden and Hendricksi" thundered the inquisitive delegate, Mr. Scanlan (very imnuch perturbed)—Finan- cially I am in favor of the money of 1861. I want the same mouey for the poor manas for the millionaire. A lobby member—H—], that won’t do. Then ensucd a scene to which pandemonium would only be a fiea-bite. A dozen delegates Tose in their seats, and all yelled, % Mr. Chair- man.” Another dozen eried out, “Scanlan, you're a fraud and a cheat.” The confusivn be- came worse wn(uuudcdl when Mr. Condon rose to pour ol on the troubled waters. A delegate planted a bard, borny fist under Condou’s nose, while its owner said to him, “You lied to us.” Half-a-duzen other exeited men suggested that it would be conducive to Condon’s versunal welfare if he would buve the kindness to sit down. Condon stood Like Casabianca. Ic wouldn't quit. Hewanted to speak to a question of privilege. 11is veracity had been assailed. Charles Audrieux—W¢ came here as Demo- crats, to_nominate a Democrat. Scanlan won’t support Tilden and Uendricks. Condon lied to us. Condon again attempied to_speak, but the confugion was §0 great that the Chairman’s cane could not be heard. . A deleeate—I move that the nomination be reconsidered. Mr. O’Connor moved that Condon be allowed to speak. More confusion, with brilliant prospects for a cheering bit, of 2 Donnybraok Fair. Anothier delegute appealed to the decency of the mecting, but what for was drowned in the cries and shouts that would make Babel sick. Cries of question. : The Chair suggested that the crowd in the lobby leave. A Voice—Go on, and make a sermon before putting the question. Franocis Evans—I will withdraw my friends from the room_if Mr, Scanlan will do likewise. More crics of question, and Charles Ankricux took &)ossession of the chair and put the motion. At this stagre the confusion was intense. The huge masscs of delegates and lobby members surged to and fro, each man gesticulating wild- Iy and shouting with 40-horse lung power. The Chair tried in vain to get a hearing. Finally there was a lull in the tumult, and the Chair put the motion for a reconsideration, which was carried by a vote of 1710 7. It was then determined to begin over. Evans was renominated. One of the the Scanlan fac- tion ncminated William Law, who declined. The Secretary>commenced to announce the vote, and when that of the Eleventh Ward had becn given, a delegate moved to male the nonii- nation of Eyans unanfmous, which was done with a howl of delight. The nomince blushingly appeared on the stage, and promised to vote lor Tilden and Hendricks, as on their clection depended the salvation and prosperity of the country. The Convention then proceeded to nominate Assemblymen. J. J. Kearney, George E. Stowe, James Em- mett Murray, and P. J. McCormick were pro- The first ballot resulted as follows: Kearnéy, 15; Stowe, 8; Murray 3; McCormick, 3. Kearncy's momination’ was made unani~ mous, - gnd ke made the customary oration of thanks. He didp’t say any- thing about the currency question, and never alluded to wampum or catskins as s circulating medium. Tender recollcctions and modesty prevented it. ‘The ballot for a secohd legislative candidate resulted: Stowe, 20; McCormick, 2: Murray, 2. Stowe’s nomination was made unanimous, and the Convention adjourned. * Evans is a solicitor of advertisements, and Stowe alawyer. Kearney is well known. FIFTH DISTRICT, The Fifth District Convention met in Room 22, There was a large attendance of delegates. The eeting was called to order by Ald. Sweeney. After a preliminary 8quabble on par- unmcumfy practice, Mr. Johu F. Waish was glectc:r(}nn!rman and Mr. Andrew Reynolds ccretary. On motion, the following were elected 2 Com- gzfice a\l{'f}"(cdczfiia!s: AL S. Alexander, M. A. ebuy, William igwanath, Henry Johnson, and George Beans.m’“ ’ T, While the Committee was out Col. North made a brief Democratic speech on the issues of theday. Charley Kern also ecxpressed himself politically, After & long absence the Committee reported fllc delegates of the Fourteenth and Thirteenth W all correct. There wasa dispute in the Seventeenth Ward delegation, and the Commit- tec reported in favor of the admission of the “‘regular ticket.” The report was concurred. Mr. vanath pominated Mr. J. H. Shan- le{ asa candidate for the Legislature, Ar. Alexander presented the name of Mr. J. Mark Clinton, Thomas Ferris, and Peter Hans- borough were also nominated. A scene of unparalleled confusion occurred during the balioting. Objections were raised to different delegates of the Fourtcenth Ward, and a general game of - fsticuffs was at times imminent, One delefiate moved o take & recess for the purpose of restoring order! When the Chairman re- fused to entertain this Democratic motion, the moved got furious and, brandishing his fist, bawled, “Oh, go on with your gag fn\\', then; butItell you there's a fime coming.” This terrible threat had the effect of bringing the Convention to its senses, and after another half bour of senseless wrangle it settled down to vote. But another difficulty arcse when the Fourteenth Ward delegates were cailed upon ta cast their ballots, owing to several gentlemen pretending to be the substitute for one ab- sentee. A number of the delegates refused to vote, and threatened all kinds of dire results at the polls. The scene was o disgrace to even a Democratic Convention, and it so im- cesed one of the candidates, Mr. borongh, that be mounted a chair and an- nounced the withdrawal of his name from be- fore such a mob. The disgusted candidate Wwas A hauled off his perch by main force, and several able-bodied men in fustian shouted all kinds of billingsgate into his ears, until the poor man was perfectly bewildered. Some degree of quiet was ultimately restored, and the result of the first ballot was declared as follows: Dunn, 5; Clinton, 3; Shanley, 9; For- ris, 85 and Hansborough, 2. The formal ballot was' then procceded with, and resulted, after more noise and confusion: Ferris, 23; Shanley, 15; Dunn, 8; Clinton, 5. Mr. Ferriswas then declared elected. ' After another ballot, in which there was 'mo choice, Dunn withdrew in favor of Clinton. | The next ballot had the following result: Shanley, 16; Clinton, 11. Mr. Shanley was then declared elected. Mr. Ferris was then introduced and cndoav- ored to get off a little speech, but the delegates were impatent, and he got no further than his exordium of thanks. One fellow:iwanted to know whether the candidate had resided two ears in the city, and when informed by the hair that he lad, declared that that'official would not stick ata lie to help his friends. The German delegates seemed particularly in- dignant at the resutt of the Convention, and hinted as much as if they would support others more to their liking. The Convention, which extended over three hours, broke up in the wildest disorder. Ferris is a carpenter. i SLXTIL DISTRICT. The delegates to this Conventlon were called to order by Perry H. Smith. On motion, James Ennis was called to preside as temporary Chair- man. Hans Haerting was ucsted to act as Scribe, but declined, and Col. Arno Voss ac- cepted the detail. The customary Credential Committee was appointed. It retired, consulted, and reported in due form. Four vacancies were filled. Nominations were then dpronounm:d in order, and John Stack prescnted Col. Arno Voss for Scnator. Bob Kenney wanted to make it unan- imous, which was overruled. A. Delaney was nominated by F. L. Chase. Short speeches were made in favor of both candidates, after which 2 ballot was_had with the following re- sult: Delaney, 19; Voss, 9. The nomination of Delaney was made unanimous. The Convention then proceeded tomakelegis- lative nominations. Col. Arno Voss, Austin O. Sexton, John Spengler, and Fraucis Peabody ‘ere proposed. ~The first ballot resulted in the unanimous choice of Col. Voss. Bob Keuney pronounced Mr. Peabody an aris- tocrat, which cooked his goose, though it was understood that he was not covetous of the honor. - . The sccond ballot resulted: Sexton, 23: Pea- body 5. O motion, the Chair appointed a Senatorial Committee, consisting of V. C. Turner, Phil Contey, Frank Niesen, F. L. Chase, Gen. 'Lieb, Robert Lubey, aud Fred Schreiber, Lieb’s nams was subsequently dropped, and that of Dr. Cook inserted. The Convention then adjonrned. Delaney is a_young and not very prominent lawyer. Col. Voss is a well-known German. Sexton is a member of the Sexton family which has figured so much in North Side election matters. SEVENTH DISTRICT. The Convention of the Seventh District was held in Room 23. Mr. Dan Cameron presided and J. Weckler acted as Scerctary. A Committee on Credentials wus appointed as follows: Steve Keough, Michael Moran, and G. B. Elliot. After a brief absence the Committee reported the delegates as already published in these columns. The Chairman made a brief speech, calling attention to the importance of the occasion, advising the Convention to select good men and not to Torget the German element in making their nomiuations. Mr. Elliot nominated Dr. William Depp, of Thornton, as candidate for Representative. Mr. Cameron, after vacating the chair for the urpose, nominated Mr. George C. Klehm, of iles. Mr. Fagan nominated Willism H. Skelly, of Lemont; and John McCaffrey nominated Clay- ton A. Crafts, of Cicero. Mr. Cammurck said it wos rumored that Mr. Rkelly was in_favor of abolishing township or- ganization. If that was true, this gentleman, in his opinion, was an improper crodidate. Mr. Skelly denied this soft impeachment, and wwas supplemented therein by Mr. Keogh. There being no further nuvminativns, Messrs. John Cammarck and W. K. Lee were appointed tellers, and the Couvention proceeded to a ballot. The first ballot was informal. It resulted as follows: Total number of votes cast, 82, of which Skelly received 14; Klehm, 95 Depp, 6} Crafts, 3. ] On_motion, Mr. Skelly was unanimously de- dlared onc of the nominces of the Convention.

The Third Ward Democrats met last night at No. 973 Wabash avenue, Mr. C. Price in the chair, The attraction was Mr. W. F. Coolbaugh, who bad been announced for a big specch. Quite a Jarge audience assembled to listen to the oratorical banker, and seemed to be weil sat- isfied with the entertainment provided. Judge Forrester was first called upon to ad- dress the meeting. He made a short address to prove that there are epidemics in the morul as well as the physical world, and that one of dis- honesty and theft had existed in the Republican party for the last eight years. The learned Judge was not very succeasful in making out his case. . Mr. W. F. Coolbaugh next took the stand, and was met with a hearty reception. He said in a time of intense public excitement and gen- eral discussion like the present it was diflicult for any man to say anything new. The ground had been well passed over, and there was little to say. He intended to address them as a busi- ness man rather than from the standpoint of a politician. It was the duty, iu secmed to him, of every man to do what his judgment dictated was right to check the present state of things in the Government of the country. We lived in hard and peculiar times. A system of extrava- gance in natioual and State adwistrations bad sprung up which hud impoverished the whole country. Excessive taxation wuas our preseny great aliliction, and it bebooved alliitizens to be- come gequainted with the subject with a view of finding out remedies to check it. In Chicago, for instance, during the last 15 years our tax- ation had increased 1,400 per cent. But burden- some a8 this was, it was no greater than the taxation of other cities of the country. Phila- delphia and New York had increased almost in Itke proportion; indeed, talke all the cities in the country, and we would find that while the ag- regate population had increased 70 per cent, taxes had increaged 330 per cent. There ‘was no wonder that people every- where are suffering and in distress owing to the scarcity of moncy and hard times. It was the sumé o the National Governwent. Statistics showed that the whole sgrresatied taxation of the country in 1360 amounted Lo $135,000,000, and in 1875 to $540,000,000, The great question to consider was, IN WIHAT WAY ARE WE TO LESSEN THESE BURDENS? There was but one way, and that was by econo- my and retrenchment in the future. Soover or later the country would have to come to a specie basis, but the ‘question was how to get there. Platforms had nothing to do with the tinancial question; resumption would be settled by the natural 1aws of trade and commerce, and only reached by renewed activity in business, and by general prosperity. And any course ~which would bring about re- trenchment in gublic expenditures, economy in private life and in the Government, would bring about, sooner or later, that much-desired result. Carl Schurz and his followers pretended that the national debt would be dishonored and the national credit lost shouid the Democratic party be victorious; but he contended, in spite of all charges to the contrary, that no promi- nent Democrat could be found in favor of re- pudiating the public debt. Mr. Coolbaugh en- larged on this point, and quoted, among othe? authoritics, Scnator Morton’s speech on the Refunding bill to prove his position. The state- ment made by stumnp speakers of the other side that the Republican party was better able and more determined to maintain the honor of the General Government in redeeming our bonds in gold than the Democratic party, lacked founda- tion. This was a question of business,and not of politics, and should cease to exercise any con- eiderable importance in the Presidential” cam. paign. Before the first TucsdayIn November they would find the great massof the voters marshaled on their respective sides, and sup- porting their respective candidates, without any regard to the financlal question. ~There was a great dealof talk about CIVIL SERVICE REFORM. The speaker here quoted larzely from a speech of Mr. Carl Schurz in 1872, in which the German orator said that the Civil Service was a mere instrument of tyranny and a scandal and re- proach on free institutions, and demanded an immediate and thorough reform. A plainer, mure comprehensive and_truthful statement of the dereliction of the Republican Mr. Coolbaugh, could not be foun mittee wase appointed in 1871 to investi- gate the abuses of the Civil Service, and, although it reported that the service was mauaged corruptly and extravagantly, there was no attewpt to remedy the evils and_insti- tute economy; the report simply turned out, like many other protestations of the Republicau party, to be nothing but an clectioneering docu- ment. Schurz now cliimed he was actuated by, the best intentions and a patriotic desire to that the condition of the clvil service was any better now than it was in 1873 Mr. Coolbaugh then went on to criticise THE WEISKY-RING PROSECUTIONS in this city, declaring that 43 or 50convicted and acknowledged thieves were granted immunit in order that one man might be punish Ho firmly and honestly believed that at ony other time in thc history of the country such a course of conduct and abuse of the very principles of jus- tice would damn any political party to eternal infamy. A number of citizens were engaged to aid the District-Attorney in these prosecutions, and there was now a controversy in &)l")agress as to whether they should receive $10,000 or $20,- 000 each for their services in securing the free- dom of the thieves. He belicved that the only time when the wholo of the Goyvernment legal force appeared in court together, was when they demanded immunity for the men they were employed to prospeute, But that was not all. Emery A. Storrs had been instrumental in se- curing the acquittal of Babeock, and some re- turn should be made to him. He went to Wash- ington to try and get a pardon for Jake Rehm, but he was sent back to Eflm a civil suit against his clien He (Mr. Coolbaugh) uever heard the like of that before in the administration of justice, and yet this man Storrs was going about the country talking of the necessity of purifying the civil service. Mr. Coolbaugh then alluded to THE PERIURY CHARGE against the Democratic candidate, No man, he held, would perjure himself for the paltry sum he might save in falsifying his income-tax re- turn. Therc was something in the American character which would vindicate a man sgainst such base and infamous assaults. The next time any of his hearers met Mr. Joseph Medill, John Wentworth, or Gov. Bross, and this sub- ject was alluded to, they should ask those gen- tlemen how much they returncd as their in- comes in 1862. He would guarantec that ever afterward nothing further would he heard of Tilden in this respect. Those gentlemen would have as much as they could do to take care of their own records. He houestly be- lieved that for.the promotion of the public in- terest, the purification of the civil service, and the procuring of lasting beneilt to the country, it would be wise to elect Samuel J. Tilden President. He wonld not say anything agalnst Mr. Hayes, but he had a right to repcat what others said of him. He would commit himself to this: That this was not the time to have one of your amiable, nice, passive gentlemen_at the head of the Administration; he did not believe Mr. Haycs was man cnough to take the Presi dendy of the United States at the present tine. The speaker went on to show that Goy. Hayes had not made a brilliant Congressional record, and that during stirring times his voice was never heard, except once or twice, in moving small amendments to unimportant measures. He contrasted Tilden's ability with that of the Republiean candidate—of course drawing an in- ference favorable to the former—and concluded by reitcrating that the election of the Demo- cratic candldate for the Presidency would result in the reform of the civil service, the purifica- tion of natioual affairs, and general good to the country. The meeting adjourned shortly after Mr. Coolbaugh's speech. AT INEADQUARTERS. TO BE SOLD OUT—THE RAG-BABY. Once more come the reports that the Green- back party is about to scll out entirely to the Democracy. The matter has: passed along quictly, and 1t has been kept secret from out- siders. The sgle and delivery, of course, were not conducted opeuly, but the facts Iead one to believe that there has beéh some direct work. It is insiouated that both James and R.M. Svringer, President and Sceretary of the party of currency reform, are not working as in- dustriorsly missionarics gratuitously, but are drawing the salary of $100 per month each. Further than than that, Lew Steward is paying their wages and has subscribed $5,000, besides paying somo of the other bills. The nominations made Friday by a sclf-con- stituted ring, calling itself a County Con- vention was a put-up job, and, it is said, were wholly made with the intention and for the con- venienco of selling out, and delivering over the goods and chattels easily when the time came. Some of the nominations will not stick, but the Republicans in the party are to be sold out any- how. A. C.Cameron, who runs the Working- men’s Advocate, it is alleged, has been paid 3100 apiece for all the candidates he has had written up, and those who wonld not come down,—they were ignored or attacked. One of the candi- dates for the doubtful legislative honors of the party is said to have written the biographies at $3perhead. In this way the Workingmen's Advocate has pretended to represent the interest of the Greenback guny. he Chicago heudquarters arc gaid to be run by a clique. Further thap this, manyof the bills contracted by the Springers, it is cflfimcd, never have been puid, while there is » sufficiency of money in the treasury. There can be no doubt that” the Greenback party is on its last legs, and only looking to a fair chance for a realization of the profits on the delivery of the goods and chattels Wwhich it pretends to control in the way of votes. REPUBLICAN HEADQUARTERS. Quictly but successfully the party of progress is working along. The rooms in the Grand Pa- cific Hotel were visited by large numbers of Republicans yesterday, who were greatly grati- fied at the work and the way it was being con- ducted. Throughout the State there have been organized over 600 Hayes and Wheeler Clubs, numbering from 50 to 150 memberseach. There is o moral certainty that the Legislature will b largely Republican, and will be_ constituted of the best material to be bad in the party. Col. A. C. Ellithorpe has gone to.Indiana to make some of his characteristic speeches. The Democratic papers are crowing over a letter written by Col. A. C. Babeock to Col. Bob Ingersoll, askiug him to go to Indiana, and not to give so much attention to Ohio. T'he Demo- crats fecl exultant because Col. Babeock ex- ressed his doubts in regard to that State un- css some actlve work was done there. Col. Babeock dacs not deny €he authenticity of the letter, and says he wrote it to help induce Col. Ingersoll_to work in Indiaua, and, 28 a conse- uence, placed the matter in its darkest light. any one has doubts asto Col. Babcock’s believ- ing that Indianawill go Republican, all hehas to doistogo and bet to the contrary. ~The Colonel is ready to put up from $100 to 3500 that Indi- ana will go Republican, and will be happy to sec any one who wishes to put up the shekels and has them to lost Among the visitors to Headquarters yesterday from abroad were, E. Townsend Johnes, New York; August 8. Tears, Walden, N. J.; Hill Thiers, Kenosha, Wis.; John H. Emery, Beoria Transeript; Col. E. W. Kelley, Maj. L. A. Art, Cleveland,” O.; B. R. Kimball, Concord, N. H.; Nathan Lattin, Sycamore, ILl.; Homer Cook, Waukegan, I1l.; Ed Sterling, Dixon, Ill.; 1L P. Bevins, Sacramento, Cal. DEMOCRATIC HEADQUARTERS. The Palmer House rooms yesterday were not lively. Everybody was out seeing delegates— that is, all thosé who were caulidates—and ncarly all the members of the Democratic party are. Those who were not candidates were dele- gates. In the' forenoon bargains and pledges were made. Talk is cheap, and there was plenty of it. Cigars and drinks were liberally dis- pensed. Everything, however, was pleasant and orderly. Seeretary J. J. Crowley and Gen. Corse were flying around, flaishing the preparations for Tucsday’s mecting. Licut.-Gov. Dorsheimer, of New York, thedispenser of that * bar’l”” ang Tilden’s right bower. and George W. Julian, of Indiana, and John M. Palmer, will furnish a Dortion of the oratory. Fireworks and artillery, as well as brass bands, liberally furnished from that ¢ bar'l,"” will forn part of the attractions. Capt. Connett will probably be sent to Posey County, Ind., to make specches. The country there is shaky, and voters are reported likewise. Among the importans *“ unterrificd " at head- uarters: yesterday were John D. Southey, harleston, 8. C.; C. Delano, Florida; Delos H. Brown, Fort Atkinson, Wis.; W. H. P. Cush- man, Gttawa; C. W. Growley, Boston, Mass.; Alexander J. Liverpool, New York; John M. Burke, Garner, Miss. ; H Avery, South Ha- ven, Mich. INDEPENDENT GREENBACKERS, M. H. Hooton, the rag-baby candidate for Secretary of State, was at the Tremont House Tooms yesterday. He scems to think that ‘“rags” arc in the ascendency. He feels elated over the fact that 12,000 people attended the Mount Vernon barbecue Friday. There were 16 bullocks roasted and 40 sheep, which, it is said, were consumed. The usual amount of falking was done at headquarters, and all tried to shut up each other’s eyes as to the real strength of the party throughout the State. AROUND TOWN. THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE. The Cook County Republican Central Com- mitte held a meeting yesterday afternoon ut Headquarters, corner of Lake and Clark streets. John H. Clough cccupled the Chair, and Chris Mamer acted as Secretary. The objeet of the meeting was to discuss the question of the ap- portionment and to fix the time for calling the County Conventions. Several Committees were heard from the wards in regard to their representation in the Convention and the mat- ter of apportionment. Capt. Ryan moved to coneur in the formation of the Committee. Jefferson be allowed an additional delegate, ‘which would give two delegates. H. B. Brayton moved to lay the amendment on the table. Chris Mamer mover to lay the whole matter on the table. Col. Payne rose to a point of order and claimed that Mr. Mamer’s motion was out of order. Sustained by the Chair. Mr. Brayton’s motion prevailed. Mr. Brayion then pressed his original motion, and was opposed to concurring in apportion- ment mmfa by the County Committec at a previous meeting. ‘The Chair stated that the apportionment was made in accordance with Wolcott’s vote in 1875. AMr. Atwater wanted Mr. Mamer to withdraw his motion to table Capt. Ryan’s motion, which Mr. Mamer declined to do. ‘The motion was lost on a call of the yeas and nays. é;pt. Ryan's motion was then put and car- ried. Mr. Aver}v!moved that the Convention be held at Farwell Hall, at 10 a. m., Oct. 11. Carried. The question of changes in fndges of clection was next discussed. Committees were heard from the First Ward Consolidated Club, and several others. The matter was finally settled by concurring in the former action of the Com- mittee. After transacting some unimportant business the meeting adjourned. . SECOND DISTRICT. The Second District Congressional Committee met yesterday afternoon at 4 o’clock at Justice Matson’s office, President Gardper in the chair and all but two members present. Mr. Oster- man was admitted to a seat in the Committeein place of Mr. Platz. Mr. Cleveland moved to have the Congres- sional and. County, Conventions on differcnt days. Some discustion arose on this motion, several of the Committee expressing themsclves 8s opposed to it and in favor of baving the Con- ventions held'the same_day. This latter plan, they thougnt, would insure the polling of a larger vote at the primaries. Mr. Cleveland thought the two Conventions were altozether different affairs and should be held at different times and places. The motion was finally lost. On motion of Mr. Clevelund, it was decided to call the Convention at Martine’s West Side Hall Oct. 10, at 10 a. m. The Committee them adjonrned. SEVENTH WARD, The Seventh Ward Republican Club met last evening for the purpose of reorganizing as an auxiliary club, subject to the rules of the Grand Council: Charles Tarnow, Chairman pro tem, presided, and William Bachman acted as Secrc- tary. On thotfon of Ed O'Brien, the old officers and mebers were retained, and constituted the new club. Several ward committees to sec to the primaries were chosen. The meeting was quite enthusiastic, all the differences between the two dubg in the ward being in a fair way of settle- meat. FOURTH WARD. The Fourth Ward Republican Club met at the corner of Thirty-fifth strect and Cottage Grove avenue last evening. It was expected that E. A. Small would make a speech, but he was so exhausted by his St. Charles address that he was unable to talk. he time wos therefore taken up by discus the advisability of bav- ingr a permanent h uarters, and, as the ex- pression scemed to be favorable, 1t is probable a place will be selected, and one of the halls now used be given up. FIRST WARD. The colored Republicans of the First Ward met at 318 Clark street last night, Mr. L. C. Waring in the chair, Paul Jones Secretary. Specches were made by State’s-Attorney Reed, John H. Roberts, William Baker, L. L. Mills, and others. THE COLOBED VOTERS, The colored folks assembled last evening in Olivet Baptist Church on Fourth avenue to ubilate. A goodly assembly was present. Mr. . G. Jones was clected Chairman, snd made a brief speech on taking the chair. = After choos- ing a Secretary, the excreises were opened with the singing of aRu%xMican campaiza song to the tune of * John Brown's Body.” The Hon. Charles H. Reed was then intro- duced, and made one of his stirring speeches. He said it was not his business so much to make speeches as to prosccutc thieves, yet he must lift his' voice fin i of the Republican cause. Nopeople on the face of the earth had so much reason to be grateful to the Republican party as the colored people. He had once been a little on the other side of the question, but when he went down Southand saw the effects of slavery he would have no more of the damned thing. No colored man could bea Democrat. If a colored man voted for Tilden this fall he would no longer be a col- ored man. He would be & red man. [Laugh- ter] But for the Republican pariy, the colored race would now be in the gall of bitterness. No colored mancould think of voting for Tilden as long as the click of the rifle was heard in the South. [Applause.] Tilden had no Lopes of carrying any of the Nortbern States. He depended on the united, solid South. Even New York would vote against him unless there was aa awful sight of ballot-box stufling. The Democrats were quite used to this business of m.umnf, but they would have to do an awful lot of work to succeed. He did not think it could be done. The Colored Campaign club then gaveanother selection, which was well received, after which the meeting was addressed by Mr. J. W. E. ‘Thomas, the very intelligent colored Secretary of the Second Ward Republican Club. Brief ana pointed remarks were also made b; John Lyle King, Mr. J. . Bennett, the Rev. G, B. Lynch, and Mr. N. 8. Johnson. Senator Bruce, of Mississippi, and Luther Laflin Mills were expected to be present and address the meeting, but were prevented from eo doing on account of sickness. TENTII WARD. The Teuth Ward Republicans rallied last evening at No. 202 West Lake street. The at- tendance was large and enthusiestic. The speakers were Col. L. C. Easton, J. H. Clough, . A. Sherburne, and ex-Ald. Campbell. The speeches were all well received, and the cause of Hayes aud Wheeler was cvidently in the as- cendency. . NORWOOD PARK. The Republicans of this place held a very suc- cessful mecting Friday evening, cousidering the bad weather and the darkness of the night. The hall was filled, nearly every seat being occupied. It imd_ been given out that the Republicans of Norwood dare not come out and show their hands to the unwashed Demo- cratic pauper-house voters who rule this town. Mr. George Campbell, however, who is one of the solid men of Norwood, thought it was about time for the Hayes and Wheeler men to show up, which was done to the entire satisfaction of Messrs. Campbell, Card, and others, who had taken a lively interest in getting up the meet- ing. The Irving Park Elea Club, which had been announced, did not put in an appearance. The meeting was addressed by Mensrs. Fonda, Reynolds, Hanna, and Linscott, of Jeffersorn, and Messra. Campbell, Collins, and Card, of Norwood. ~Some telling counts were made agaiost the Democratic party in general and Mr. Samuel J. Tilden in particular. Tiwo or three Democrats of the rowdy clement were present and occasionally interrupted the sreakc.rs with iusuh.iug language, etc. One of the unwashed, named John™ Stockwell, jumped up from his back seat and openly and’ outrage- ously insulted the Jefferson gpeakers without any provocation whatever. The latter, how- ever (each in turn), paid their compliments to this man Stockwell, and if ever a man got squelched and had nothing to say it was this same unterrified Democrat. The next mecting will be held a week from ‘Thursday, at the same ]Jlam:, When otlicers of the law will be present to ook after the rowdy Deniocrats. SOUTH SIDE SWEDES. At the Republican headquart . s of the Third ‘Ward there was a political meeting held Friday for the ,urpose o organizing all the Swedish Republicans of the South Side. The meeting was called to order by Col. R. E. Hughes, of the Third Ward; A. Sanburg was Chairman and Andrew Hallen, Secretary. There wére several speeches made both in English and Swedish by cloquent speakers. The following gentlemen were eclected permanent officers of the organ- Ization: A. Sanburg, President; P. M. Almin, Vice-President; Andrew Hallen, Secretary; John Sunstron, Treasurer. The meeting was enlivened by the arrival of a company of Minute-Men from the Sevententh ‘Ward. “There will be another meeting held in the club-room, No. 960 Wabash avenue, by the Swedish Republicans Tuesday evening at 7:30 o’clock, sharp. OAKLARD. The_Republicans of the Sccond District of Byde Park held a very enthusiastic meeting at the Oakland Hose-House Friday evening. %’he speakers were J.

GRAND CrossiNg, Sept. 23.—Do you know for K that you have snatched from very respectable obscurity by your recent articles on Corning§, Judd a possible Democrafic candidate for Cop. gress in place of one of the three eminent states- men who now air themselves fn Washington hotels, and who receive marked attentions be. cause they hafl from Chicago? A shrewd prog- uct of the Emerald Isle, who has been waiti a long time for sumething to turn up, says ft's atrick of the Swallowsails to cheat Barmey oat of the nomlnation by trying to make a martyr, or a something else, out of this Judd S. Corn- ing. Erin wants to know, ‘ Who i3 this Corn- ing, any way{ They'll be trying, befors they get through, to _make a Cor- nish man of hin” He is alarmed, and dow’t stop to inquire what district th newly-uncarthed Coufederate belongs to, bt imagines that any one who has a more pro- nounced Rebel record than Caulfield is sure to get his place, and as_he, the Emeralder, isa stranger to S. Corning Judd, in case of the suce cess of the whole Rebel ticket, there will not bo g0 good a prospect for pickinga for the * boys.” The clever expose of the carcer of the Grand Commander in Friday’s TRIBUNE has thrown the Rebel Democratic Tactions into intense ex- citement, and will probably make it necessary toissue @ nmew programme, for the Swallow- tails have shown that they have & Con- federate record (which is necessary to pre- ferment in the *Reform” Democratic party) better established and more like their Southern masters than their more noisy and frothy short- haired pals, and 8. is their Grand Commander, The hewers of very small slices, and the draw- ers of whatever-they-can-get-their-hande-on *re~ formers,” who have grown wan and thin by many years of waiting, look euvagely at these Iate “interlopers for place and pelf. They are now satistied that the Trumbull meeting wasa well-concerted scheme to bring to the front the Grand Commander of the Sons of Liberty, as previous to that time he was hardly known out~ side of a small coterie of ecclesiastical attor- neys. M.C St MISSISSIPPI. MORE CONFEDERATE ARGUMENT. Spectal Dispatch o The Tribune. JACKSON, Miss., Sept. 23.—1It is no longereafe in this section of the State to even intimate that men are Republican. Colored and white men are abused alike. Assassination and intimida tion form but a small jota of the terrible out~ rages practiced. Men in this section are certainly persecuted for their conscience sakes. Old- time Democrats who refuse to acquiesce in all the brutality practiced are socially ostracized, and their lips are sealed to the truth, lest they be ariven from the midstiof home and family. Information has just been received here that Col. 8. O. Shorey, of Greeaville, Miss., while on his way home from a Republican mecting Wednesday night last, was brutally beaten by & band of White-Liners. Col. Shory’s offense was that he is a Republican and a member of the Hayes and Waeeler Club. On the night in question he made a Republican speech. It was, s0 I am am informed, a quiet address, brimful of wholesome truths, which the Rebel ele- ment here could refute in no other way than by cowardly waylaying the speakerand assaulting him on his way home. We ask, when will this thing cease? "Will the Government give us no protection, or will we be allowed to be driven to the wall? Col. Shorey was a Chief Engineer in the United States Navy under Commodore Porter during the War, and is known .as a quiet, un- assuming, and inoffensive gentleman. He isa good citizen and bears a character beyond re- fimucb. But he was a Union soldler and is a epublican, which at present is a crime in Mississippl. WASHINGTON NOTES. TILDEX’S TAX SCORE. Specia Dispatch to The Tribune. Wasameroy, D. C., Sept. 23.—The state- ments of Democratic papers that the Commis~ sfoner of Intcrnal Revenue has declined to an- swer Congressman Hewitt’s letter of inquiry relative to Tilden’s income-tax are falze. Com- missioner Raum has not answered all the de~ tails of Hewitt’s inquiries, for the resson tbat the records of the Internal Revenue office in Washincton do not contain the necessary infor- mation. That information is lodged ‘in the office of the Collector of Internal Revenue in New York only. Transeripts of all the records relating to Tilden were ordered-tmmediatel upon the receipts of Iewitt's letter, and wi soon be completed, when Tilden will be sued. ¢ MIGHTY UNCERTAIN."” A very peculiar circular is being distributed bg the Democratic National Comuwittee throughout the South, among discreet fricuds of the Democratic party. The circular is marked rivate. It urges the Sonth to vote solid for lilden, the votes of which States, with thosc of California, Nevada, Vermont, Connedticut, New Jersey, and Indiana, which are clamed would give Tilden' 200 votes in the Electoral College,—15 more than are nec- essary. The circular says that the prospects ju Ohio _and Indiane are mighty un- certain. They cannot be relied upon. The circular adds, “ Under the circumstances, it will be wise to carry every SouthernState aé hazards. The stake to be played for on Tuesday Nov. 7,1s the possession of the Government, and it can be won, but there must be_no lvose talk beforehand, The results of the late elec- tions in Vermont and Muine admonish us to confine our hopes und our efforts to those States which we have a reasonable prospect ol carrying, and more especially as there are more than enough of them to elect our candidate. Give us the solid Southern vote at all Without that votc the prospects are gloomy and success more than doubtful.” The circular contains the suggestion that these statements are the sober second thought of hundreds of anti-war Democrats.
