Cricaco, Oct. 7.—1 respectfully ask the publi- cation in the columns of your paper of the accom- panying order, 28 due to the yeieran soldiers and cltizens from Chicago and other points in the North- west who - accompanied the delegation from this_city to the.great Reform demonstration which took_ place” ot Indianapolis on Thura- dsy laxt. It is keenly felt that a gross and indecent assault has been made upon a respect- able body of citizens, who inthe discharge of their undoubted rights visited the leading m§ of a stster State_for the purpose of expressing their prefer- cncein the present Presidential confest. The dele- fi:“‘m was composed chiefly df ex-soldicrs, who d defended the country at the _risk of their iives during "the late War ‘more respectable, or 8- men never assembled together. They were accompanied by the Tilden Body-Guard, composed chielly of young gentle- maon belonging to_this city,’and by four or five companies of the Tilden Legion, an organization of uniformed men. The train which carried the delegation to lndhnl;')olll ‘was unusually crowded, owing to a want of cars; it was twelve hours gn T paseaps, ariving . st _its destina- tion near midnight. It was witn difiiculty thst arrangements - for feeding and - elceping #0 1arge a body were made, and much personal in- convenlence, necessarily incident to such an occa- sion, .. was enced. - Notwithstanding these facts, the command formed in line in a manner o creditable a8 to elicit the applagse of all specta- tors. The Tilden Legion of uniformed men was placed on the right of the division of citi- zens as the finest body in that department of Uia procession. The veterans appesred €0 _credit- ably in line that the prize fiaz offercd by Indiana was captured by them, and brought to this city The Tilden escort, composed of our best citizens, condncted themselves as might have been expect Their re-embarkation to Chicago took place at midnizht, and the return was accomplizhed st noon of the following day,— the journey being made in crowded cars, without without a contest. & lthx a1d without water, wihout robkery, riot, or m] sconduct of any kind. It is dueto those who constituted the Chicago delegntion to say thata more orderly, manly, or respectable body of men never participated in a political demonetration. ** It is an ill bird that de- dles its own nest, » and s Chlcago paper can make batlittle capital - by aseailing with injustice the character of our own citizens, Very respectfally yours, DAKIEL CAMEROX. HeADQUABTERS DEXOCEATIO COMMITTEES, PaLat- xr Horsg, Cuicaco, Uct. 7, 1878.—By instruc- tions of Maj.-Gen. John M. Corse, commanding column of Veterau Soldiers and uniformed clubs which participated in the great demonstration at lndlm;mul. on Thursday, the following orders are published: . 1.” The thanks of the Commanding General are offered to the Veteran Reform Association of Chi- cago and co-operating delegations from Wiscon- sin, Jowa, and Ottaws, II. Their soldierlike conduct on the route, and milltary appearance on the march was worthy of men who had patrioti- s.nu{h rm;:g their lives on many battlefields un- er the flag. A 1. 7o the Tilden jon, composed of uniform- ed clabs from the North and West Divisions of the city. the commanding Geueral likewise tenders his grateful acknowledgments for the cood conduct, Pltxfle%f discipline, and soldierly appearance dis- plsyer 1J. To the Tilden and Hendricks Body-Guards, con{goflefl largely of veteran soldiers, the thanks of the comman: General are also extended for valuable services rendered as our escort. IV. To the oficers in_charze of the respective corps the commanding Genersl feels that too much creift connot be “awarded for the fidelity and ability with which they discharged the daty to which they were respecttively aseigncd. The fact that the veterans of Chicagu ang n:cuml}mnymg delegztions were awarded the prize flag offered by Indlana for the largest and best bLody of ex-sol- diers, and the additional fact thut’the Tilden Legion was asigned the rizht of the citizens' di- viston, must be as cratifyingto all connected to the Chicago expedition a5 to himself.

A mass-meeting of the colored citizengof this clty was held Tast evening at Union Hall, on the corner of Clark and Monroe streets. Themeet- ing was called for the purposeof protesting sgainst the horrible outrages that have been perpetrated upon the colored race in the South, and that alone was sufficicnt to call out a very large attendance. Among the more promineut representatives of the race present were ex- Commissioner Joon Jones, J. W. Lynch, Col. Baldridge, J. E. Carter, J. K. Grant, W. C. Phillips, R. A. Hancock, Carter Jackson, E. Jud- s0n, and Robert Gray. The assemblige was called to order by J. W. Grant in a short speech, succinetly stating the objects of the meeting. After organization, by ~equest the audience jolned in sinmng that glo- 16us war aithem, * John Brown’sBody." “x-County Commissioner John Joncs fol- ‘owed. It Bad been the custom, he sald, tor the :olored people to meet in these kind of mass- meetings for many yvears, until of recent date “lere had been so few causcs of complaint, com- paratively, that excitement ran Jow. But again Jhe old, old antipathy to the black man was oreaking out in the South. A short review of e listory of the race in America followed. Until 1860, the colored people had not made and purchases or in any way intcrested them- selves in the progress of the country. When- :ver 3 new trouble broke out thousans of them flockea to Canada to avoid threatened persecu- tion. In elave times a hundred blacks were &ept uuder centrol and at hand work in the cot~ tou fields Ly one miserable, cadaverous, devilish little cuss with a whip fastened around his body. Why? Simply because the blacks were divided against themselves. If the race wished to become @ matfon in the truest &ense of the word, they must unite, and stand by each other. To do this, the speaker thougzhit” that the interests of the race were en- sirely aod_solely with the Rcpublican party. There was but glight probability of the race be- Ing put back to slavery, but ticy might casily pe disfranchised. Lamiar, Ben Hill, and other Soutnern statesmen, might be very fine gentle- men, but they wers not the men to do good for the colored race. He hoped the people would anite to put men_in office, but should not then relinquish action for backbiting, In times zone by, as soun as & man gained office, his *riends were degraded, and perhaps eoded in a frultless indictment. In thisthe speaker paid a compll- ment to his own career, and here ended. A committee of five, consisting of Messrs. William Baker, Robert Gtay, Jackson, Johnson, and Junmim appointed by the Chalr to draw np a et of resolutions in relation to the South- ern atrocities. While the Committee were out u colored company of Hayes and Wheeler guards marched in 2na located in the rear of the hall. The lollowing are the resolutions as presente ‘WuIREAS, In view of the direful dnd horrid cut- rages that are now being imposed on our brethren ‘n the Southern States for mere political ressons, we colored Republicans of Chicago do unanimonsly EBesolve, That in the name of humanity we do =) came enemies; his office and himself |- unitedly call on all to join with us in hereby pe- titioning the President and other authorities of this ‘nation to use their ntmost cndeavor and energies in the legsl and legitimate exercise of their powers in both civil and military capacities to prevent the continuance of these oufrages. Ztesolzed, Thut we hold it 1o be & fact that in the spirit of our institutions all men are free and gfi“llufly equal in these United States, and en- owed by their Creator with certa:n inalienable righte; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happinees. Resolred, That the Tong traln of usurpation and abuses that is now being carried on by the Demo- ceratio party toward tlie black race of thix nation is movement toward despotism. which it e the duty of the Government to prevent, and provide for the future sccurity of our brothers in the Sonthagalnst the wrongs persmu.mm upon them by the still un- repentant Rebel element. o Resolved, That as we ha¥e ever been loyal and submissive to the laws, and have been givena guarantee of civil rights by the: Government, we are entitled to assume 2 position of full enjoyment " of those riclits. Reaglred, That we extend every encouragement to our Sonthern brethren; that we gtand firm in the Republican faith, and show thelr Democratic op- pressors that a true principle is worthy of any sacrifice. ltesolred, Thut we consider thata nnited !ng‘ rt on the part of all colored citizens is due to the Republican cause: that in Gov. Hayes we see the elements of a loyal statcsman and & troc patriot, whose elevatlon to the Presidency will do much to- ward enforcing a reepeet for civil rights from Southern Democrats, and check this work of tyranny snd death; a work which scarcely finds & paralle] in the history of the most barburous na- tions of the earth. . The resolutions were unanimously adopted amid loud and prolenged shouts and cheering. ‘Willinm Baker, the colored orator, followed in a characteristic speech. He urged upon the Southern people the principle of taking life for lfe. These Bouthern assassins dared not g0 out and attack the Indians; they let the United States militia do that. Why? Forsooth, the Indian's motto is to take twolivesor two prison- ers for every single decimation of their tribes. Let the colored people pattern after th'savare - in this particular aloue, and the speaker thought Bouthern gutruges would soon be et an end. Mcssrs, R. M. Mitchell, the Rev. G. B. Lynch, J. W. E. Thomas, and others spoke at considcra- ble length, after which the mecting adjonrned. DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES. PIRST WARD. . In the First Ward three tickets were in the’ ficld, one for Kern, one for Agnew, and one compromise. The result was the election of the Kern ticket, as follows: District 1, Florence McCarthy; District 2, Player Martin; District 3, James McGarry; District 4, Anton Berg; at Hutchinson. To meke matters sure, the Con- vention passed a resolution 1nstructing the del- gatee to yote for Kern. z SECOND WARD. In theSecond Ward Democratic Primary Con- vention the meeting was a very quiet matter, thanks to the efforts of W. J. Clingen, who, as Chairman, scemed to have better control of the boys than any of his predecessors. The dele- gotes and alternates clected were as follows: First Preciuct—William Mariga, delegate; W. J. Bryar, alternate. Second Precinct—Edward .Cody, delegate; George Blickbahm, alternate. Third Precinct—3. W. Keefe, delegate; Thomas ‘Wall, alternate; Fourth Precinct, Thomas Cos- tello, delegate; E. C. Hayde, alternate. At large—G. W. Brandt, Simon Laudenbach, Isasc Abraham. The whole delegation are for Kern without exception, THIED WARD. The Democratic Club of the Third Ward met last evening at No. 976 Wabash avenue to elect delegates to the County Convention. There were two tickets in the tield, one of which was clected entire, as follows: Patrick O’Brien, 53; Edward Quinlan; 51; P. Farrell, 49; P. C. O'Bricn, 54; Terrance Hurt, 55 5 Following is tbe losing ticket: VW, F. Cool- bnu%k, 81: Patrick O'Bricn, 53;_Patrick Burns, 24; M. B. Clacay, 32; Thonias Clearkin, 23. The elected delegates are supposed to be favorable to the nomination of Chariey Kern for Sheriff. FOURTH WARD. The Democrats of the Fourth Ward held a miceting last evening at their rooms, No. 258 Thirty-first street, to elect delegates to the County Convention. The following delegates were _elected from the four precinets: First Precinct, William 8. Hallernau; Second Precinct, Frank Binz; Third Precinct, James R. ‘Warner; Fourth Precinet, G. W. Hotaling. A row was then had a8 to the mauner-in which the delegates at large should be chosed, and for atime the Chairman could not make himself ‘heard for the nuise. A motion was fiyst carriea to elect the delegates by acclamation, but. when it was asceitatned that there were four candidates in the field, the motion was recon- ridered, and the voting was done by ballot, re- sulting in the sclection of R. W. Riedy and Quinlan. : FIFTH WARD, . The Fifth Ward Democrats held their meet~ ing jp the rear of o saloon on Halsted street, near Archer avenue. They had the usual Bridgeport crowd present, and the result was 8 Jong squavble, and most disorderly proceedings. Capt. Lung was™ perched neer the ceiling us Chairman.” A long discussion arose upon the recogmition of the Precinct Club, and finally a comun;ttee on grbitration, oue from each precinct, was cliosen. “They retired fo an uudertaker's shop nesr by, where they were besieged for a while. They came back and reportéd in the course of a couple of hours. Up to midnight the clubs lLadn’t got through fighting, the trouble being in the Third Precinct und upoa the delegates-at-large. Two policemen bad their havds full to keep order, and several fist- fights resulted, but no one was _seri- ously hurt, the crowd, as a_rule, being rather good-naturedly noisy. The followin, were_clected: Thomas McNamara, John M crs, James Fitzsimmons, Peter Leddy, Martin O'Neill, John Halpin, James Carncy, Mike Shechan, Dau Tracy, Fred Emerick, John Me- Kenna, (’}enrge Emetick, Martin Carney, Thom- as Hanlon. Over the delezates-t-large there was another fizht, which will result in a sweet- scented squabble in to-morrow’s Convention. 3 SEVENTIL WARD, ° Workingman’s Hall, corner of Waller and ‘Twelfta strects, whero tke Seventh-Ward Dem- ocrats met, was crowded to cxcess by the choie- est members of the party. Tnere was nothing but confusion from the beginning to the end of the meeting, which Jasted scveral hours. Miles Kehoe, who can stand as much noise as most people, appeared thoroughly disgusted at the slow and ' boisterous mauner in which the business was donme, Each precinet sclected its owndclegate, and each precinet accordingiy had a jolly old time of it before they could agree upon, & name. Oue good arrangc- meut, however, was the sending the citizens of the various precincts nto a room by them- selves, where they could holloo and claw each other without interfering with the privilezes of the main body as regards noise and disorder. The great fight came when the delegates at large” were to be chosen. There was no keeping the mob in order. Then Miles shouted himself hoarse, but it was no use; the boys were in for a night of it, and were deter- mined to makethe most of their time. Ulti- mately, when the collective strength of the mecting was exbausted, the nominations were made, and the meqting adjourned. The dele- tes are as follows: First Precinet, Jamcs . ehm; Second, Jobn Lawless; Third, Daniel O’Brien; Fourth, Thomas Brodeiick; Fifth, John Riordan; Sixth, Edward Mux‘,_,\uy; Sev- enth, Daniel McCarthy; Eighth, J. Fitzgerald; At Jarae, J. Hoerber, T. C. Huteh, P. Schiller, and Cart Meyer. RIGHTH WARD. Pat Rafferty, who prides himself on running the Eighth Ward Club, boasted eariy in'the day that be could bave everything fixed tp in good style within ten minutes, It turnm}J out, ggw- ever, that Mr. Rafferty was mistaken. By half- past 7 Lower Vorwaert’s Hall, Twelfth street, was jammed with o mob distinguished for their etrength of lungs,” odorous garments, and ability. to ban cuss-words. An effort was made to hire the large room up-stairs for the better accommodation of the crowd, but it took 840 more to do this, and, as the ordinary Democrat objects to spending his own moncy for the good of the cause, the mob had to swelter and swear in a ball which would barely scat one-third the number crammed into it. Things reached a crisis about balf-past 9, not- withstanding that the gentle Johi Comiskey appeared scveral times in the role of peace- maker, It was impossible to transact any business, and as kicks and cuffs began to be #s plenty as blackberrics, a squad of police interfered and restored some degree of order. It was ultimately declded to engage the upper ball, one or two of the an- dience {;utti_ng up the greenbacks in the expect- ancy of baving the amount refunded from the next bar’l that Sammy sends. Busiuess pro- gressed somewhat smoothly after this, but it was noticed that all the Germans had with- drawn. Eventually the following delegates were selected: First Precinct, Thomas cxifi 3 Seconq, Nnt"Conner;; Third, J, MecCarthy; Fourth, G. Dreves: Fifth, Barney Masterson: Sixth, P. J. Howard; BSeventh, James Conerty: Eighth, P. Jeunings; Ninth, ennis Quill; Tenth, J. Carmody. At large, John_Long, Charles ‘Andreus, Fred Hallber, and Ludwig Thieben. NINTH WARD. The nominating meeting, held at No. 120 Halsted strect was very quict in this ward. D. 8. Lovejoy_presided. " Following is the Iist of most enrnestly protest against these ontrages and the men who are causing this saffering, f‘m‘i do ‘delegates: First Precinct, Alexander Bweeney; Secoud, 8. J. Forhan; Third, Jobn O’Graney large, J. B. Taylor, Charles Cameron, Jonas | ‘roll. There were some eight or nine different Fourth, H. E. Watkins. At large, Michael Levan and E. J. Quirk. » TENTH WARD. ‘There was a split in the Tenth Ward band of Democrats last night. A. C. Btory called the meeting to order at the corner of Lake and Peoria streets for the purpose of elecfigfi dele- gates to the County Conyention. went smoothly for a while,” and James Harris was elected ~ from the Tirst, .and Thomas Dwyer from the Second . Precinct. Then the” members of the Third tried to introduce a new roll, which Story wouldn’t have. He was requested, nay nay yelled at, to put the motion to admit tne new rofl, He sternly and gcrsistenfiy refused. The brethren Jjust as persistently insisted on his doing as they told-him, and finally Story, in sheer despera- tion and utter disgust, resigned his seat, the Secretary” gobbled the books, and the dis- gruntle air left the~ hall, bear- Iug the books with them. The Club then Emcecded, amid much noise \and ably adyised y the maudlin spceches of a fellow named Welsh, to elect the remainder of the delegates, John Connell and Pat Caraber were elected from the two other precincts, and Charles King and Charles Harms were chosen delegates-at~ large. - The meeting adjourned at 12:30. ELEVENTH WARD, _ The Eleventh Ward primary was held in Mar- tin’s West Side Hall, on Adus strect, between Madison and Washington. Augustus Van Bu- ren presided, and tried to keep order by perpet~ ually thumping the table with a big stick, and at the same time raising his weak voice, which he thus effectively drowned. Augnstus and a {few others were the only respectable men in the crowd. As for the rest, they were one of the most thoroughly ungodly scts ever got together. In the First Precinct there were eight candi- dates, and out of the seventy-five or 100 men in the hsll they mnauaged to cast something like 600 votes. A mun named E. Coben was the choice. Augustus Van Buren, Malcom McDon- ald, and P. Slavin were elected to represent tho Second, Third, and Fourth Precincts respective- ly. When it came to the election of & rf:elegmc at large there was still more trouble. Men and boys voted, without distiuction of age ‘or size, and without the least regard to the fact that many of them bad already voted once. Augustus in vain attempted to regulate the thing. Just as the vote was about being com- leted, somebody came past and threw a lot of Eallut.s into the hat. The honest teller stopped the voting and called attention to the matter. Loud and various were the howls, “Go on,” safd one. ‘ Move we adjourn,” yelled another. * Take another vote,” vocif- erated a third. Finally it was decided to have another vote, and this time the managers scemed to be possessed with some faint flicker- ings of common sense. They placed the table near the.varrow doorway, thus forming a narrow passage between the table and a wall, " and e each voter pass out of the door as he voted. This plan was rather bad for the boys, too, for when one came up in single file he Was easily seen, and not & few 15 or 16-year-olds were _deprived of ballots which they had tondly hoped to deposit. The vote was speedily taken and resulted in the elec- tion of an Italitn named Owen McLoan. The meeting adjourned at 11:45. TWELFTH WARD. In the Twelfth Ward the primary wos mark- ed by the very worst kind of disorder. The mecting was held at 998 West Madison street, and Mr, Willlam Law, Jr., vainly endeavored to have the election carried ot dccently and in order. It was simply impossible. After an introductory hagghing about the appointment of judges for the several precincts, this matter was amicably settled. Onc was appofnted from each precinct, andg iven a cigar-box to hold the ballots. Then began the trouble. As the members came forward they were required to give .their names and residences, the Secro- taries comparing their answers with the roll. Frequently & man came up who could not read his title clear, and loud and angry were his re- monstrances against debarring good Democrats simply because their names were not on the roll, Anattempt was made, and it was par- tially successful, to classify the noisy mob into recincts, and vote one precinct at a time. Much valuable time was lost in looking up the rolls, and the red-tape business of the Cook County Central Commitfee was frequently and most heartily damned. The most tronble oc- curred in the Fifth Precinct, and matters came very near taking a _decidedly interesting turn, when one man strad@led the back of o _chair and addressed the crowd in a speech favor- ing dignity and moderation. Finally, after mue trial and iribulation, the Club__ succecded in c]ecdng 28 delegates: William H. Condon, Thomas Coffee, Daniel O. Day, W. J. Frawley, and P. Kenny. Of these Condon isput down for Kern. - Coffce says that his friend is Dunn, but that he is un- q‘ledged and in favor of the best man _winning. ‘he “outsiders, however,.put him down for Eern, Dayisbold and outspoken for Kern. Frawley wants the best man to win, but has leanings . towards Kern. Kenny i3 also con- sidered an advocate of Handsoma Charley. The mecting adjourned at 11 o'clock. THIRTEENTH WARD.' In the Thirteenth Ward there was the great- est confusion and dissension. The meeting was Leld in 8 stable, and no one could mistake the company they were in. There were five dele- gates to be chosen—four from the precincts, aud oneatlarge. Inthcmidstof the gencral row up to midnight, John Callaban, MikeHayes, James 0'Bricn,and Thogmas McKeown had been sclect- ed as delegates, and when the reporter left at midnight the mob was fighting for the tifth del- egate. Those elected are understood to be solid for Kern for Sheriff. FIFTEENTH WARD. The Democrats oX the Fifth Ward held their primary for the election of delegates last even- ing at "No. 628 Larrabee street. The polls were oPem:d at 4 o’clock p. m., and closed at about 9§ o'clock. An finmeuse erowd assembled around the poll, and it took a posse of policemen to keep anything like order. No one'was allowed to vote unless he was on the regular certified tickets in the ficld. and some 400 votes were cast. Frank Agnew’s men inade a groat effort to secure delezates favorable to him, hut though he had four or five different tickets in the ficld he was ienominously defeated. After the vote had becn counted, the follow- ing deiegation was found to have been elected: At large—Hasmann, 219 votes; W. H. Horna- day, 162 votes; Gustav Lange, 162 votes; Ma- thiss Koch, 259 votes; and A Goudy, 160 votes, First Precinct—Ludwig Ruchnievictz, 77 votes. Second Precinct—Thomas Boyle, 36 votes. Third Precinct—C. Dunp, 39 ‘votes. Fourth Precinet—Jobn &. Wallister, 42 votes. A ma- Jority of these dcle%m:s favor the nomination for Sherifl ol either Judge Wallace or Adolph Schoeninger, and the others are for Charley Kern. . In case the former gentlemen should re- fuse to be-candidates, it is believed that the en- tire delegation will vote for Kern, though a few of them may vote for Schintz. . SIXTEENTH WARD. The Sixtcenth Ward Democrats held their primary elgetion at Thiclemann’s theatre, on Clybourne avenue, last evening. At 8 o'clock the theatre was filled with a boisterous, motley crowd. There was much confusion and excitc- ment before the yoting commenced because the judges decided that none could vote except such aswere on the certified roster. There werca large number of tickets in tho fleld, and the {ricnds of the various candidates left nothing undone to secure a majority of votes for their favorites. The Agnew crowd, Jled by Deput; Sheriff Korn, was unusually ' boisterous ani troublcsome. At about 11 o'clock, when nearly all had voted, Mr. P. A. Schumacher arrived with a company of Tilden guards in gory shirte, and marched to the front of the hall. ’He men, it was stated, were brought there to vote'the Kern ticket, but it was thought they bad come in the interest of Agnew, and hence objection was made to their voting. 'The Jjudges claimed that they bad not the list of names of the com- lln‘nny. and hence they could not let them vote, be scene that followed begy description. Every man shouted, yelled, and hooted. El‘hey swore they would vote or else they would de- stroy the ballot-box. The policemen, o number of whom were present, tried in vain'to restore order. Messrs. Voss, Leahy, Mevyers, and oth- ers tried to pacify the angry crowd, but their words fell upon deaf ears. Eqmflly, dspf.. Schu- macher became scared " his own work and mounted the platform, an! urged the men to leave the hall; that there wasno use of their voting, since their ticket was elected anyway. This pacified the crowd somewhat, and 8 number of them . fell in iine and left the hall, vowing that they would vote the Republicav. ticket on clection day. After this the judges went to work to count the vote, but made very slow progress, and at 12 o'clock . m. were about half through. The judgesare robably still counting, but when the reporter eft there was no doubt that the following dele- ates had been elected: At e, Edmund uessen, John Merki, Fred Freudenberg, Robert Lahey, and Tom Smith; First Precinct, F. Beachtendorf; Second Precinct, Nic Gerten; Third Precinct., Hen? Mayer; Fourth Precinct, P. A.Schumacher. Al thiss candidates are said to favor Charley Kern for Sheriff. SEVENTEENTH WARD. ‘The delegates clected are: At e, Alex- ander Kanalac and Rudolp Sylv: irst_Pre- cinct—Thomas Q’Malley and “Thomas Leddey; Second Precinet—Patrick Tierney and Martin Mullin; Third Precinct—Patrick Peter Conlou; Fourth Precinet—Jobn C. Weckler and_Thomas McCormick. The weight of the delegation is eaid to be in fayor of Kern. EIGHTEENTH WARD. Perry H. Smith preslded, or tried to,ut such another sacknf howlers never before congre- gated under & roof. Agnew’s friends were in £ood strength, but Kern's backers did better work, and the result was the election of a dele- | Casey and gation leaning somewhat in Kern’s favor. The meeting lasted until 11 o'clock, when the Chair announced that the following _delegates had been clected:. At Large—Michacl Brandt and W. W. O’Brien; First Precinct—Jacob Thielan; Second Precinct —William M. Tureman; Third Precinet, D. J. Gallery; Fourth Precinct—AL Hartnell;.

In the Fourteenth Ward the row was general, and the © Reformers™ did a great deal of solid work. A more disgraceful gathering never as- sembled. The Chairman’s- ' gavel Wwas a chair, and the audience .so. heeded his thumpings for order’ that each- mem- ber was ‘saved from -entering upon the officg of President by the fnterference of tha police. That every nose was not smashed was not the fault of the mob, The fight started with the mecting, and_did not end until the “Hghts had been turned off. So riotous was the conduct of the mob that even Ald. Ryan felt called upon to get up nngi £ that he was ashamed of his constituency. Final- ly, Jobn Blom, Thomas Rielly, Bernard Schu- eneman, George Olsen, John Reddy, Peter Dal- ton, and Bryan Donnelly were declared the reg- ular delegates amid the loudest protesta- tions against the latter, in the favor of ‘whom {t wns said there had been any amount of ballot-box stufling. The fight was continued inan effort to clect five delegates at large, in which the * Reformers” had several Chairmen, and elected as‘many sets -of delegates; The row was brought to an end finally, but how noone can tell, except thoso, who left the hall nursing mashed noses. A committes, consistiug of M. Carr, Thomas Walsh, E, J. Hanley, John_Gamble, J. Ready, Pat Meeney, and Jobn Neinczawski, called at Tz TRIBUNE office at an early hour this morn- ing, and on behalf of the Fourtcenth Warders dsslred to &mtest against the delegates-at- large, who, they say, were fraudlently elected. Thcy state that MY Fitzaibbon, Peter Conrad, E. J. Haunley, Anton Detmer, aud Peter Mal- kowski were the choice of the people. SLYTH WARD. A numerous body of the Tilden Reformers of the Sixth Ward assembled last evening at Sach’s Hall, corner of Brown ahd’ Twenticth streets, for the purpose of electing delegates to the County Couvention. A ‘report was circulated through the crowd to the effect that ‘Dan O’Hara had withdrawn}from the Shrievalty con- test, and so the fight was narrowed to & choice of Agnew or Kern dclcgsws. Agnew’s fricnds were onything but lamblike and the other side was Kern-siderably . excited. The meeting was called to order by Mr. John Bomers. Thomas Grifin was nominated for Temporary Chairman, bat the Chair refused to entertain the motion. An appeal was made from the decision, but the Chair refused to en- tertain the appeal. Somebody moved that each precinct—pronouuced in Bridgeport presnt— should eleet two delegates. Af this point of the procecdings the wildest confusion pre- vailed. -The Chair put the motion and declared that the ayes had it. As Mr. Bomers was a can- didate for delegate from the Second Precinct, a general fecling prevailed against his presid- ing, and a continual how] for lin to get out was kept up. The nomination of delegates be- gan, and a general uproar was i progress when a self-appointed committee of “choice sgxh‘;lts climbed upon the stage to eject Somers Irom* the chair. The Chairman took the matter pleasantly and declined to budge, whereupon tie mob became obstreperous, and were about to pro- ceed to extremities as one of the boys in blue, —with a star on it,—stepped upon the platform, and the Tilden veterans retired in good order. The Chairman then read nominations from the First ** Presint,” and a small brass band played “Wearing of the Green.”” Order prevailed for ten semu'fis, when another attempt was made to oust Somers from the chair; but that gentle- man stated ihat there was.no chairman to be clected, and as he was backed by the police, that settled it. A French gentleman in_the audience rather inconsequentially addressed the chair, and said, *“As I ynderstand it, John Gurk 18 bad of.” A locomotive standing outside saw the joke and whistled long and lustily, to which * ealute the. crowd replied with a chorus of yells. A motiou prevailing that the precincts vote by roll call, tellers were appoiat-, ed and crowded the stage. By arrangement they withdrew, when afcw returning another on- slanght was made and the police again cleared the platform. At this juncture.a fight occurred at one end of the hall, which, alfhough ot fine roPomons, was lost sight of in the general ullabaloo. The bar appeared to do a good busi- ness, and geveral patriots snoozed peacefully in chairs, while . one lay full length on the billiard-table. The preeinct’ organizations sep- arated, after mueb wrangling, and finally .ef- fected the election of their delegates. The To- sults ‘were as follows: First Precinet, Daniel Small, Patrick Finncgan; Second Precinct, John N. fomers, Florence Donovan; Third Pre- cinct, James Mancer, Con Griffin; Fourth Pre- cinct, John McKenna, Ed Cullerton; Fifth Pre- cinet, John F.

REPUBLICAN. SEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS. A special meeting of the old Seventh Ward Republican Club was held at their headquarters, No. 331 Blue Island avenue, A. Graham, - dent, in the chair. The object of the meeting wag to nominate delegates to the Convention, and the following were nominated: County—IL Ruger, W.3. Dunham, S.Dechauer, A. Musse, and M. L. Frisby. Oongressional—J. B.

After the Committee came in and announced the nominations, Mr. Willford. as the Secretary pro tem,, with Cspt. McGrath, counted the tes, voMr. Hirom, Barber made an excellent and -telling speech during the *absence of the Execu- tive Committee, setting forth how necessary it was not only to elect a Republican President -and Viee-President, but also to look to local of- fices, which formed none the less important part of the campaign. * BVANSTON. Evanston is not only a- very stronghold of Republicanism, but the intelligence of its citt- zeus renders them superior to mere partyibm, strong supporters of the highest principles, and sturdy opponentsof the ““mavhine” politicians. This spirit was exemplified in the recent Con- gressional caucus, in which the mover of a series of resolutions severely denonncing “huckster- ing? in politics aud - previonsly-prepared tick- ets ” was elected a delegate without any pre- concerted action having been taken by his friends. But when a ticket is made up openly in a falr and legitimate manner, and is com- ‘posed of honest and representative men, it can- not fail to.commend itself to the judgment of the ‘Republican voters of the town. "~ A ‘call, signed by mnany of the leading Republicans, Has been extended to the following gentlemon, re- questing them to act as delegutes: For Deleqales to the County Convention—Mcsrs. L. J. Guge, C.-Shackelford, Joseph M. Lyons, 20d 0. A.-Willard, = For Delegates to the Lenislative Convention— Mosaps 1. B Tard, Prof. J. F. Kollogg, N. Mor- per, and C. C. Stratton. The Republicans of Evanston had a rousin; rally last: night, the first of the seasom, an opened the campuign most auspiciously. Lyon’s Ifill was crowded to its ntmost capadity during the entire evening. ‘A mnovel featurc of the meeting was the presence of some fiity promi- nent ladics of the place. Attractive music was furnished by . the Chicago Glee Club and a large choir of the Methodist Church. Luther Laflin Mills made a calm, logical statement of the is- sues of the campaign.” Gov. Beveridge followed with s full review of the situation, cloquently ‘refuting the charges agrainst the “RepubHcan party, and proving the greater crimes of Demo- crats. He was followgd by several local speak- ers. The meeting was a complote-sucresg: - ‘The Democrats last night elected Gepree W. Rust and Dr..

Russcll moved that the Chairman appoint & committee of five to confer with a 1like committee of the Fourth Ward Republican Club, with the view of uniting the two clubs, and report at” the next regular mecting. The ‘motion was carried, and the President appointed Messrs. Samuel Holbrook, David Vaughan, P. A. Hull, C. F. Reimick, and D. C. McKiunon as such committee. Addresses were then made b: Col. Ricaby and T. J. Sutherland, after whici the Club adjourned. THIRD WARD.

The First Ward Republican Club met at the Grand Pacific Hotel last night, for the purpose of clecting delegates to the County and Legis- lative Couveutions.. Mr. L. L. Colburn pre- sided, There being two Republican clubs in the First Ward, there would be some confusion if ‘each club clected a full list of delegates; thers- on the Bheriff question is extremely uncertain. A majority asserted that they were Kern men, but investigationled the reporter to suspect that, on the contrary, nearly all would be found in the Agnew phalanx at the Convention. MEETINGS. HYDE PARE. The Republican primary for the election of delegates to the Connty Convention will beheld at the Town Hall Tuesday evening between the hours of 4 and 7. s .

FRENCH REPUBLICANS, A mceting of the French Republican Club of tho Fourteenth Ward was held at 433 Mijl- waukee avenuc last evening, there being over 100 present. Mr. Louis Populorum presided and Mr, Edouard Kroemer acted as Secretary. Prof. De Lafontaine gave some good reasons why the French voters should work in unison with the Republican party. Mr. F. C. Vierling spoke in Freuch and Eu&i‘!‘mh. He could not see where the “reform” by the Democritic arty was uominé in. He compared the two late conventions held in the First District, and dcemonstrated that the Republican was the one that came nearest reform. Mr. Victor Gerandin said he hoped that Car- ter H. Harrison would be compelled to take that back seat. Mr. H. D. Thetreau and Mr. Henry Wight also spoke. Tne Club indorsed Gen. Reynolds and Gen, Mann for Congress and the Shoriff's office, and then adjourned. THIRTEENTH WARD REPUBLICAN CLUB, At a full and enthusiastic meeting of the Thir- teenth Ward Republican Club Friday evening, a series of complimentary resolutions were unanimounsly passed indorsing the candidacy of Maj. Waite for the office of Recorder, and, * in unison with so many of the best business men of the city,” recommending him to the Repub- lican Convention as the strongest man before the people vet mentioned for that office, aud instructing the delegation of the Thirteenth to heartily !ugpon: him as the candidate answering the demand for fresh blood and cléhn fingers, after_ which three rousing cheers were given for }‘hi :;hjor, and the proceedings ordered pub- ished. 2 REFORM IN TRE SEVENTH WARD. To the Editor of The Tribune. ' CHICAGO, Oct. 7.—Lo to-day’sissue an earnest call is made for all good Republicans, without regard to nationality, to meet Monday evening, at the corner of West Fourteenth and Union streets, for the appointment of delegates to the Convention on Oct. 11, Thisis in no sense a partisan movement, as the call includes all Re- publicans,—not only the members of the three Republican clubs. of the ward, butall others who are not connected with any club. The Erncti\-e has been_hitherto for thie Republican lub of this ward to limit its appointments of delegates, represcntatives, ang to members of ' its own which comprises but a ves of the Rep: candidates organization, small fraction lican voters of the ward, thus ig- noring the Frent majority of the Republican party "and {ts best represcntative men. This Ppractice has been continued so long that the en- tire machinery of the urennlzntion%ms fallen in- to the hands of & few men, who control its movements in order to advance their own selfish interests.. True to its instincts, this organiza- tion, on Friday evening last, appointed & full set of delegates, who, with oue or two excep- tions, in no gense represent the voters or ‘taxpayers of the ward. g count of ‘the important interests at staks | fore the proposition of the other club (that is, the body known as the Arthur Dixon Club), to the effect that -each body elect four delegates, and the Presidents of the clubs jointly elect the ninth delegate, was put before the meeting and adopted. Tle balloting then procecded, there being twenty-five names from which the follow- ing mamed were selected: Dr. C. V. Dyer, “{flll‘i\un Baker, William B. Howe, and Simcon . King. The !filloung for dclegates to the Legislative Convention resulted in the election of Col. John A. Hunter, F, A. Brokoski, F. T. Magruder, aud R Rutherford. Messrs. Eastman, Brokoski, and Storey were appointed to confer with similar committees of auxilisry clubs of the First Ward concerning matters like ticket-printing and distribution. AMr. R. Rutherford and Mr. C. A. Storey were elected as tellcrs, and Messrs.. Baker, Keefe, Guvton, Sandridge, Wimpf, and Taylor as chal- Iengers for the coming primary election. Col. Hunter moved that the Club respectfully request the judges of election to admit one teller and one challenger within the polls. The motion was carried, and, by a similar vote, the judges were requested to Keep a poll-list, with nanics, residences, etc., of all voters at the pri- mary. Ugnn motion, it was decided that, if by any. oversight, the auxiliary club should fail to elect delegates, the Executive Committec of the vpresent club were authorized to fill up the list and put the names upon the tickets. Ad- Jjourned. THE VETERANS. The Chicazo Veteran Club met at the Grand Pacific Hotel last night, Capt. Jacobs presiding. The Chairman announced thas the multitude of ward-meetings throughout the city undoubt- edly kept many members nwu{. % 'I"hc harman of the Committee on Constitu- tion and By-laws reported that they had written to Pittsburg and Philadelphia for copics of the Constitution and By-laws of the Veteran Asso- ciations of those places, but had not yet receiv- ed answers. Thercfore they asked for further time, which was granted. On muotlon, it was resolved that a company should be formed (those able to turn out) from the members of the Veteran Club to offer them- selves as a body-guard to accompany the Hon. James G. Blaine on his arrival in this city,either from the train or from his hotel, to the stand where he will speak on the night of the 15th of this month. About fifty men pledged themselves to turn out, and they will wear uriforms. HASEBLL’S CLUB. 3 That Republican club of the First Ward,which some of the First-Warders are fond of calling * Mr. Haskell’s Club,” was to have met at the Gardner House last night, but they failed be- cause they were few, and no business was trans- acted. - HOXIE IN DU PAGE. At 2 mass-meeting of the Reform citizens of Du Paze County, held in Boecker’s Hall, Naper- ville, Friday, R. N. Murray in the chair, the fol- lowiug resolutions were unanimously adopted: ‘WuEREAs, We, citizens and political reformera of Du Page County, professing a strict adherence 1o the time-honored principles upon which this Government wes founded, and an utter contempt er‘l abhorrence of all ruots of political dishonesty; an Waergas, J.

TeRRE HATTE, Ind., Oct. 7.—This has been a great day for tpe Republicans of Vigo County, . The managers had intended to make it thegreat event of the campaign, and to excel all the pre- vious eflorts of their adversarics. Thatinten- tion has been ‘more thau fuliilled. Ingersoll spoke this afternoon in the Wigwam to a crowd that filled up. the adjacent streets and vacant lots. Noa tenth of the people that had come ing distance of him. His speech was substan- tially the same as that he has delivered else- where during the cempaign, and Wwas received with immense enthusigsm. This evening the largest torchlight-procession ever witnessed in Terre Haute came off. Full 000 voters appeared in line, bearing torches. g‘ln.-y were mounted and on foot, in wagons, and in carriages. There were many novelties in the way of decorated wagons and transpargncics. ‘The procession was almost txice as large as any ever before witnessed here. Gen. Sickles and Col. Nelson spoke from sep- arate stinds this evening to vast audiences. The dolngs of to-day have inspired the Re- publicans with ereat hopes of making the vie- tory of next Tuesday a great and glorioud one in this county. CLOSING UP THE WORK. L The campalen closed here to-nizht with the most magnificent demonstration ever seen in the State, proving to the sutisfaction of all Repub- licans that the party is in the very best possible condition. It was simply a c!:g affair, no dele- gation from outside beinz in the line, and there ‘were 4,857 torches in the procession, Itwasa grand sight, and a comparison E(lth the demon- stration’ made Thursday bv the Democracy is especially distasteful to them, an inter-State affair as it was, only 8,000 being in line then. A speech was_made by ex-Lieut.-Gov. Wood- ford, of New York, in which he paid his atten- tion to the recent reunion of Democratic roughs. v T ¥ A remarkable meeting was held this afternoon. The Tippecance Club, com- sed of 285 old “men -who voted .for arrison in 1836 ond 1840, and who intend to vote for Gen. Ben Harrieon on Tuesday next, paraded the streets and_ were addressed at Ma- sonic Hall by Gov. Woodford, Gen. N. P. Banks, the Hon. John A. Kasson, W. P. Fishback, and others. It was an inspiring meeting, and the interest shown by these veterans at the election is one of the most encouraging features of the campaign. 2oy 4 A5 GOBBLED UP. ~ A very qurie number of : the roughs brought here from other points to the late Democratic fraudylent reunion arc stillin the city, and last night and this morning the police arrested a portion of them under the Vagrant act. The. men had their trial this afternoon, and about a dozen of them from Philadelphia were dis- charged, the law npot covering thefr case. This* manifestation on the part of the police to rid the cityof the gflsfil:mupremnce of these cattle, and thereby bring to naught the objects of the Democratic Inanagers, so incensed the latter that they had these dozen fellows i e information with the prosecating attorney, upon which the Clerk issued warrants for the arrest -of twenty-ome of ‘the police force, who were concerned in the arrests of last night. ‘This law was never before used s o political vehicle, and it re- tute it in their desire to achieve party revenge. . The policemen were at once released on bail, ' Mayor Coven bein% their bondsman. The De- mocracy are very desperate, and gnash their teeth in rage. They find themselves checkmated at every move in their game of fraud, and are becoming stared. £ - DETERMINED TO STICK. Gen. Mauson, Chairman of the Democratic State Central Committce, to-day endeavored to §e! three of his Milwaukee roushs returncd to ‘heir homes on the badges that they wore at the reunion, but failed. ~One .of the Baitimoge roughs attacked E. Cropsey, correspondent of the New York Zimes, in the office of the Occi- dental Hotel to-dny, because he was jnstru- mental in pointing the gang out to the police last night. He was not badly hurt, however, thanks to the interference of bystanders, but the fellow unfortunately escaped in the ‘con- fusion. & A dispatch received to-night from Baltimore says fitty more roughs have Teft for Indianapo- ‘WOLCOTT. The following letter was received at a Iate hour by the editor of the Journal by telegraph from tfie Hon. Anson Wolcott: . ‘The charge of bribery-or other unworthy motives for my withdrawal are wholly without foundation.

The above embraces all the counties in the State, and it will be seen from the figures that, after allowing all that is claimed by 'Te Demo- crats in the four last-mentioned counties, the Republican majority will nevertheless be 1,304 on their State ticket, and the official returns already in sbow that they have the Legislature in both branches by at least two-thirds ot all the members. ¢ THEY DIE HARD.

A GLANCE OVER THE FIELD. Spectal Dispateh to The Tribuna. NEw Yorx," Oct. 7.—Public interest in the ©Ohio and Indiana elections is intense. Specnla- tions regarding the result arc general. The - Sun’s Indianapolis correspondent thinks ths . Democrats will carry Indiana, bat concedes Ohio to the Republicans. Carl Schurz tellsan © other correspondent that Indiana will elect 5 | Republican Governor by over 4,000; also thst - the reported German defection in Ohio has - been exaggerated, and the latter State fs sora for over 5,000 Republican majority. . * The Times' special at Indianapolis, usually an accurate observer and successful forecaster of elections, prodicts s declded Republican tri- - ymph. The Hon. Eugene Hale, who has just can- vassed the State with Gen. Harrlson, says hs will stake his reputation as a prophet on the i diction of a Republican success. i * The Cincinnati Commercial anticipates 15,000, and won’t be surprised at 20,000 Republican ma- Jority in Obio. - It bases this calculation on the inflation vote, which went to Allen last year, and which a carefal canvass shows will now re- furn to the Republican faith. 3 Secretary Apgar, of the Democratic State Committee, recently publicly intimated thata canvass of New York Btate indicated a larger ? Democratic majority than has been giveu to either party in ten years. Secretary Glidden, of the Republican Committee, repties, character- izing Apgar’s statement as valueless, because encral, Indefinite, and Intangible, and says he as evidence that they are incorrect; that the Committee receives daily intelligence of largs Republican and t{at. they learn of two additions to the Republican ranks for one deser- tion ih the very sections where Democratie Rains are claimed. 5 .

Wolcotw’s withdrawal was totally urex- pected, aud gives great satisfaction to the Com- mittee, who scoff ‘at the insinuation that they [ purchased it. 3 At the National Democratic headquarters, § equal confidence is expressed of victory in Ind- ana, but not in Ohio, which they boldly claimed a month ago. Ben Butier’s opponents claim the posssibility of Judee Hoar’s election against both Butlar and Tarbox. In any.event Butler's defeat is Certain unless he can draw heavily from tha Democratic vote. The claim of regularity will not work favorably for Butler among Massachn-. § setts Republicans. - CRIME. FOULLY MURDERED. = 8 8Spectal Dispatch to Thé Tribune. y - Br.
