THE REPUBLICAN COUNTY COMMITTEL, FILLING A VACANCY. An adjourned meeting of the ¢ity members of the Republican County Cominittee was held yes- terday afternoon at the headquarters, corner of Lako and Clark strects,—J. C. Knlckerbocker in the clialr anit Martin Best acting as Sccrotary. Capt. Py M. Ryan sald that the meeting had been called to conslder the filling of the vacaney on thio Connty Cominissioner ticket occasloned by the withdrawal of L, 1f, Davis. As the mat- terwas one of consliderable iinportance, he would 1iku to hear from theBouth Blde representatives, who were uircctly interested. The Chalr suggested that as perhaps the South-Side gentlemen had not fully discussed the matter, it woutd be well for them to retlre for consultation, and report to the mecting the result of thelr deliberations. A motlon was made to that cffect, and it was 80 ordored. “Tlie South-8ide delegntes thereupon retired, and, after an absence of fifteen or twenty min- utes, returned. The Chalr announced that it was ut tho tlme utterly impossible for the gen- tlemnen to arrras upon o canditate, and he hoped the Commlitca would grant thom ustil the alternoon, sod [twas Bo ngreod. Mr. Linderbourg, of the Seventeenth Ward, wanted to know what actlon could be taken by tho Committee on the changing of election Judges In one of the precinets in his ward, and the appolutment of 2 tman once indicted for ballot-box stulling. Mr. Liudarbouris waa requested to obtaln all the fucts concerniug the matter, aud report to- day. OIIANOES IN THE TICKET. Mr. A, M. Wright, of thy Twelfth Ward, wanted to know it the Committes would maky auy chouges In the ticket. 1o was nformed that the Municlpal Reform Club would malke o change in the Fuurth Legislutlve District, I suchi change were deemed nocessary, the Re- publican party should make it and not intrust the work to an outside organization, Mr. Crawford was of the {impression that the Committee bad no fursdiction. It wos o nat- ter for tho Fourth Senatorlal District Commlt- teo Lo consider. Mr. Wright explalned that the Distret Con. vention did not uppolnt any campnlgn commit- tee, on the supposition that the Central amd Exccutive Cumpaign Cowmnittees would do all that wns neceasary. Mr, Crawford sugpested that it wonld not he out of place for the delegates to the Fourth Senatorial District Conventiou to be called to- gether once more. ‘The Chair was of the upinlon that the Fourth Senutorial ticket should Lo reyisen. . Capt. Rtyan thought it woulil be well far the County Committed to issuo an vrder lor the Dis- trict Convention to reasseuble, The Chair, to Mr., Wrizhi—Do you think the delegates to that Couvention would recanslder their actiond Me.

On motion, it was resolved that the matter be referred to the members of the County Comn- mittee from the Fourth Benatoriul District for Iuvestigation and examtntion, und thut thoy re- port this afternoon. ‘Tho mecting then adjourned. ——— TIIE REFORM CLUB. DISCUBSING LOCAL CANDIDATES, A meotlug of the Munlcipal Reform Club was held luat night ut the Graud Pacitle to cousider the nominations of both political parties, and sco it uny change is desirable. Mr, W P, Dericksou prested, and Mr, Jubn G. Shortall acted as Becretary, Tho attendance was not lorge, doubtless owling to the insufficient notico given, This is the flrst meetlug of tho Club since the last election. At the suggeation of Mr. Charles P. Kellogg, tho Executlve Commiittes was ciupowered to add thres more gentlemen to thelr number, Mr. Kellogg suggested that the members present would stute what they counsidered ad- visable to do In regnrd to the tickuts now lu the ficld. The Exceutive Committee would be glud ot some expression of opinion on the nlb?ect. Mr. Murry Nelson thought the South Side leglalative tlcket was obnuxious toa large nuwmn. hor of ctlgens, and it might be wisc for the Club to place some good names before the people. The matter, Liowever, required careful thougbt and conskicration, Mr. A, M. Pence ndverted to the finportanc of vhangiug the tickets placed i the tield by both partics, éspectally in regard to the County Commissloners, The” great difliculty was thut there were not enough uien on both tickets from whom to choose four good Commissioners, One wun on the Republicun ticket ouht not to be elected, They should put o new ticket In the deld, und emdeavor to clect good wmen, und g0 stop the frauds which hiad diu‘:mc:d the County Board for some time past. It wasulso necessary to huve an imie provement in the legislative tickets 1t wus slnply an outrage to send (gnorant men to the Leglslature merely to vote furn United Statea Heuator, [Applause.} Mr, Aduer 'Taylor concurred fu tho yiews of tho last speaker, Unless the Club took some netlon, the bud men of both partles would robably be elccted. They should endeavor, at cast, to purify the county und leglstatize ticketa, MAKING UP A TIOKET, Mr, Bhortal) offesed the following Resoleed, ‘That the Bxccutive Committes be ro- ucated to examine the nomiuatlons muds by both the Democratic aud Ropublican purties, and recon- mond or object Lo the ditferont candldates, and, where the candidates F:mnu.d by thoso partlce {::n:wlllav Indorscd by the Fxccntive Comumitice, &L sal Cumwilico present rasana fn th of the obje! w:l'dnu m&.m % they roport to the meeting of this Cinb next Mon- day evening for confirmation. Mr. A.J. Galloway reminded the meeting of tho great fmportance of gojug earefully to work and prepacing an unexceptionable ticket, Thero was o oceaslon for laste, for, if o good ticket was l;lntml before tho publle three days before election, it wonld prove successful. By attemd- ing to tho leglslative as well “as the county _ticket, if" bad nen obtalned eeata on the County Board, lh«e{ might exerelso somo cheek on them from Springfleld. Ho thought the Committee shauld he glven a discresinary power as to the thne of making theie report. Mr. 8hortall sald the actlun of the Coinmittca was not final, and he thought that ample time waa provided by the resolution. Mr. Pence nsked if there was any nnderataml- g as to who the Republicans would nominnte h'l place of L. H. Davis for County Commis slon Mr. Kelloze safd Messrs, Burdick, Sherwood, and E. & White had been mentioned., It woa lgo stated that Mr. A, J. Crawford’s name had been brought forward, and revernl goptiemen remarked that he would prove a good wan for any position for which the Club might nominate him, The resolution was pnssed. Mr, Nelson fmpreesed upon members the necessity, if they dusired to do any gool, of de- voting sotne tinio to the work. Mr. Kellogg stated jthat one member of the Commlitee would be in attendance at the Pae clle every afternoon and evoning this week to regelve sugaestions, ‘The Club then adjourned to Monday night, The Executive Committes are llnnrjv Jo Willlng, N. 8.

TIUE LOCAL POLITICAL 10T did mot boll very furiously yesterday, The varfous headquarters were visited by about the same ect of politiclans that frequent them cvery day In the week, Including Sundays, and but little was donoexcept to talk over matters In gencral, and to hold conferences from swhich prylog reporters were sedutously excluded, Feeling that the Demoerats were secking by every known means, includine all sorts of violations of tho reglatry wnd election laws, to count in fraudulent votes, the Republicans have made applieation to Judge Drummond for the appointinent of a Supervisorof Electious, under the law. Should the appointment Lo made, and there 18 no reasonable doubt thad it will not, there s n very strong probabllity that some Chicago Johnny Davenport will prove ns great a terror to Deimocratle evil doers as did the bold little man in New York four yeara ago. But the Deniocrats arc opposing the move. Yesterday morning when JAMES P'. ROOT CALLED UPON JUDGE DRUMMOND with his three petitions, one from cach Con- grossional district, and cach slgned by ten good cltizens, he found Judge Ienry G. Miller therg In proprin personee. Mr. Miller contended that this npimlntmcm. would be an Interference with State's Rights, and ho sald he should oppose It. 1o wanted Lo prgito the matter, but the Judge told him i€ he would make out a reasonable oplnlon {n writing taking authorities e would by willing to hear hin orally., Mr, Miller sald he would agree to that, and Mr. Root sald he ehould also” have some- ; ::Ing to say when it vamo to arguing :hu ques- on. Judge Drammond reminded Judge Miller that the Democratie party, two years ago ut In- dianapolig, had been the first tonsk for tho ox» cention of this law in relation to Supervisors, amd they were now. om'msed to the appolnt- ment, Ile Implied that this was ot very conslstent in the Democratie party, anil further remarked that Corigress did not de- rive its jurisdiction from what the State might or might not do. He had no doubt that Cuns rress had whways provided how contesta shoutd o condueted i cased of its own members, a3 to whether they were properly elected or not, and that as far back a8 twenty-five years ago they hiad exerclsed the right of determining when elections shiould be held, and nobody had ever isputed their right to doro. On the whole, he thouzht that Inasmuch as o law had been provided Ly Cougress [t wns no more than proper to carry it out when its executlon wus demanded. Tho little party finally broke up with the understanding that the mintter will come u{:ohldu i the form of written statements on both sides. Sliould the Court hold to his opinlon expressed yesterday, it 18 quite prohable that the Chicl Supervisor will be appointed on that day. ‘The law calls for n Chief Supervisor In each judiclal district, and he st bo one of the Unfied States Commls- gloners tor that district. e recommends to the Judge proper persons to be appolnted in each precinet, who are called Assistant Supervisors. hese have authority to Inspect the rezlstrys Tists, to be present ut the polling of votes, and tu have general supervislon of tlic machinery of clectfons for the purposc of preventing fruuda, XOTHING OF IMPORTANCE was done at the Grand Pacific Hendquarters. yesterday, The duy was taken up in answering correspoiidence, and n completing the prepara- tlons going on for the Blaine reception.
