Preparations for the Approaching Town and City Elections. Rousing Meeting of the North Side Citizens’ Union. Pointed Speeches by Hiram Barber, Bobert Collyer, C. A. Gregory, and Others. The Third Ward Republicans Auxious for the Passage of Kehoe’s Bill. The Ward Assessment Plan Adopted by the Democracy—Other Political Meetings, CITIZENS’® UNION. FIRST PUBLIC MEETING. The Citizens’ Unlon of North Chieago held its first geoeral public meeting in Brand’s Hall, corner of . Eric and Clark strects, last. evening. It was a soccess,—about 500 voters. being vreseot,—and the geutlemen who inaugurated the movement to sccure capable and honest local officers feel assured that the object will be accomplished.. The call stated that the purpose was to explain the aims of the organization and to invite the citizens of that section of the city to unite and co-operate with it. The assemblage was called to order by William Stewart, President of the Union, who occupied the charr. He sai@ the object of the Association ‘was the preservatian of the purity of the ballot, and to elect none other than honest and ef- ficient men to local offices. [Applause] It sought the puhishment of whoever might be guilty of election frumuds or official dishonesty, and would lend its aid to exposing official abuees, and providing a remedy if possible by the united influence of its members without re- gard to party polities. George L. Paddock was fntroduced. and spoke of the efforts which had thus far been made to accomplish the objects of the Unlon. It hadoe- curred to those who started tire movement, with regard to certain local offices, that it was desir- able to unite all the good citizens of the com- munity without regard to what they might be- lieve as to Jarger and wore general questions,— questions of national pulitics. Acting npon this bellet, they had sought to bring about anity by forming a union of all their neighbors and fellow-citizens who agreed with them in that policy, 50 that when they came to vote for an Assessor, or Collector, or ‘Alderman, Repub- licans and Democrats could join together and eclect hunest men who were capable of discharg- ing the dutics of their offices. [Applause.} . Miram Barber, Jr., spoke next. He supposed withont doubt there would always be partics. The emoluments and honors incidental to the control of the Government were sufficient of themselves to divide the people, let alone the questions of political and social economy upoun which men most naturally differed. While par- ties were inevitable, and while there Were many excellent features in them, they had proved not an unmixed good. The prescnt was an oppor- tune moment for the formation of a Citizens’ Union. 1t scemed to Lim that the culmination point in the history of the grea® political parties in this country TAD SEEN REACHED. We had goi to a stage where a halt might ‘welt be called, and where considerate men of all arties might well relect upon- the difference tween allegiance to party aud duty to the country.

A propbylactic was needed for officeholders in advance to make them lonest during their term. It would be remarkable if s remedy could not be found. We were aninventive peo- ple. Yetza cure was a coustantly-recurring probiem.” Honesty in ofiicesecmed 1o be one of the lost arts. Brother Moody could bring the men out of office to their knees, but those in oflice were inclined to hold the fort themselves. |Laughter]). There was but onccure. The people of the North Side must act on the adage, *“Goa helps those who help themselves.” They must take hold of the matter themselves as citizens. Our ancestors did not cxpest this Govermument to run itself. They knew it would need watching. They in- 1ended it to be areflex of the popuiar will. A correct public sentiment stould be cultivated, =nd it should be pure and stronz. It was zood Jor the citizens to unie. Whatever he could 8o 1o forward thc interests of the argT;\nSmfiou e would do it cheerfully. [Applause). “Tix~ Rev. Robert Collyer then madea brief address. He said it wasa good thing for the people to meet togetherima cool and quiet Tashian—to separate from the political war-cries of one £ide and the other, just us neighbors, and Iriends, and fellow-citizens of the North Side,— and dezermine if it was possible to bave just as ood a_luczl government as' homest rmen could bring about. The people came to realize not Joug ago that they lnd neglected the Clty Gov- ‘¢érument, had staid at home when they ouzht to Jave been ac the primaries and at the polls, and as a result the bad men in office were iurned out. They met now becanse ihey wanted a good local government, honest men to fill every office,—men who could be irusted, and would not sell them out, or shirk, or ¢heat, or dodge, but stand up and do their work, and, whed it was done, GIVE 2N IONEST ACCOUNT of what they had been doing, [Applause.] There could be no sort of doulbt, if they set themselves aboat this, that they could do it.

[(Ap- plause.) Every man should - make this a of his own_business, and then sec that his neighbor did.

This could not be doue by leaving the matter to a few men, Jowever good, but by every onc Jayiry home to ‘hisown heart that be had asmuch at stake as any other man, and desermining to do fhe right thing at*the right time.

The Union ought to bring about a whole- some and salutary influence in municipal mat- ters. In order to make reform a live and prac- tical thing it should be made a personal matter. In theory the offices were for the benefit of the public, and not for the benelit of thuse who held thems. In practice, they were simply held as the emoluments of those who obtained theni. The Union proposed to nominate men who be- lieved an officc wasa public trust and not. private_spoil, and’ lioped to fight under a flag with the names of men_inscribed “on' it with whom it would be more houor to sufferdefeat than to share in the victory and spoils of their opponents. [Apgl:mse.l Mr. White invited 8l prescnt who were in sympathy with" the movement to . join the.As- sociation, and several in the audience arose and stated,that they would do so. ‘After adjourning, the Secretary, Mr. Henr: T.

The Third Ward Republican Club met last evening in the new rooms, at the corner of ‘Wabash avenue and Twenty-second street, Mr. A. Crawford presiding. Among those present were Messrs. Kirkk Hawes, Murry Nelson, Judge Cary, J. IL Clough, Charles H. Hgm, Col. John H. Roberts, Charles P. Kellogg, and other prominent Kepublicans of the ward. A committee consisting of Col. John H. Roberts, E. G. Keith, W. 0. Cole, R. H. White, and C. Greeley was appointed to make nom- inations for officers for the next three months. Mr. Elbridge G. Keith was called on for soine remarks, and, in response, congratulated the members of the Club on the happy issue arising out of the Presidential muddle. The new rresi- ‘dent must be sustained by the best men of the party,—Dpy the men who worked not for the spoils but who had the truc interests of the party aud the country at heart. [Applause.} In regard to city politics, too, there was a great deal for the Club and Republicans generally to do. Many plans had been broached to over- come the present evils of municipal govern- ment, but, in the speaker’s opinion, they had all -been vain. They had mot touched - the right spot, and the only sofety to the citizens uy invigilance. They should look to it that thie next Board of Aldermen was a good one, “and that the next Mayor was one in whom the people would haye confidence and who would be sustained, a5 Mayor Heath had been by the present, Council. [Applause.] _ Mr. Murry Nelson spoke in favor of holding _tne town and city electious on the same day as a blow to the bummer element, and in order to make this plan thomu?h\y successful Republic- aus should work to have the bill of Senator Kchoe passed, aud, when passed, they should turn out at the polls on election-day and see tnat only honest votes were cast. [Applause. | Mr. Bishop offered a resolution asking the House of Representatives to pass the bill known as Senator’s Kehoe's bill. " Judize Cary was not sure but that, if the Club indorsed this hill, the Democrats would be apt tv consider 1t a partisan weasure, ana it might therefore mcet their apposition. ‘The resolution, however, was passed. Mr. Ham was-willing to do whatever he could to earry the coming spring clection for good men. It was pretty evident that Colvin would be the Demnocratic candidate for Mayor, and, in order to beat liim, & good Republican must be brought out. The “party had now got pos- ‘session of the National Government for the uext four years, and the next most important object to which it should turn Its attention was the much-needed. reformation of local politics. Whatever be could do to this end he would do most willingly. _[Applause.] Mr. Greeley, althvugh somewhat disappointed 1n the Cincinnati nomination, hailed the election of President Hayes as the election of a man who in every sense seemed to be a true repre- sentative of th¢ American people. He thought the country at large SHOULD BE CONGRATULATED on the election of s man who would do his ut- most to give zood overcment to the South, and .bepredicted that President Hayes' term would be on¢ of peace and reconciliatio The day had passed when the ** carpet-bag ™ interest, os it was called, could ever obtain a foothold in the South, and he_ hoped and believed that if the President appointed Southern men to offices in the South e would appoint those who had been Uniou men, or who were reconciled and recou- structed, instead of importiug men from the North. [Applause.] The crowning act of the, Republican party, or of any party, should be to” preserve the parity of the ballot, and while it was a good thing to talk abont good Alder- men, good Mayors,sgood Presidents, it was still Detter, and more finportant, to keep the ballot pure. [{Applause.] The Secretary, yr. Sumwalt, offered 2 resolu- tion that the members.of - the Club heartily in- dorse the policy of President Hayes toward the South as indicated in his letter of acceptance. Judge Cary had a word—or seve: words, rather—to say for the poor carpet-bugger, to whom the South owed its school-houses, and who was as little chargeable with venality as the average members of ihe human race. The cry of ‘‘carpet-bagger ” was one of injustice, and the trouble was that only a small partof the truth came in the reports from the South. The real truth was, that these carpet-bagzers, so- called. were men of patriotism, and eatitled to atl confidence and esteem. Nevertheless, the fact that they came from the North was suflicient to dainn them in the eyes of South- ern people. To be sure, someof them hac Deen bad men, but no worse than an equal num- Ver of men in the North, and in making up the ublic verdict the people must not damn them fiullsefimlnate!_v ‘but recognize what good there was in them. ‘The resolution, however, was passed. Mr. Cole wanted to know if Mark Kimball could legally occupy the office of the South ‘Town Collector and collet the taxes. - Kirk Hawes did not understand that the Su- preme Court_had actually decided that Evaus was _the Collector. However, if the County Clerk: tarned over the tax-books to Mr. Kimball, he “would be the de facto Collector, and, if hie did not collect all the taxes within the time allowed by law, he could make up his return of the delinquent Iist and the taxes could be collected without further diffi- culty. At tafs polnt the gentleman branched off on the subject of “carpet-bagpers,” for whorm, it appearcd, he had pot that sweet clarity, that - gushing regard, possessed. by Judge Cary. In Mr. Hawes' opinion, no man ju the country nceded the %rnfl'rs of God’s peo- ‘le more than Rutherford B. Hayes, beset as he was ‘by hordes” of oflice-seckers. Mr. Hawes hoved and believed President Ilayes was a strong map, who would sce that there was a real - reform in the civil® service. If so, the Republican party was not only sure of a jour-vears’ rule, but most probably of the succeeding administra- tion.” But, if President Hayes ehould listen to “the office-seckers, the men who were racing up and down the earth with PETITIONS FOE APPOINTMENTS in thelr pockets, then the country would go to the devil, and no one could saveit. [Applause.} ‘While Mr. Hawes rejoiced in the result,” yet he regreticd to see thai even the Judges of the Supreme Court were swayed by partisan feel- jngs, and e fearcd that. the people at large would be disposed to put less faith ip_the Su- preme Court now than heretofore. In short, while a victory had been obtained, it had been with some cost.’ On motion of Mr. Keith. the following Com- mittee was -appointed to select the names of double the nunber of delegates to the coming 'S the wards to the coming Town Convention. -City - The-town election, he said, would be a very City Convention to which the ward is entitled, the Club to chuose from these names the proper number of delegates: E. G. Keith, Charles P. Kellozg, H. M. Mosher, J. L. Baroum, J. H. Clough. reg ‘The meeting then adjourned. % ¥ TUE WEST TOWN. A meeting of Republicans from the several wards of the West Side washeld at Justice Mor- rison’d office last evening, to take some action Jooking to {he apportionment of delezates from Ald. Baumgarten called the mceting to order and stated 1ts object. Ald. Taroop was called to the chair, and A. L. Morrizon was selected as Secretary. . v Dr. W. Clark moved. to test the sense of the gathering, that the several ward clubs be re- uested to send-five delezates to the coming mvention. Last vear, he said, cach ward had gelected six delegates, -and the result was the greatest harmony and the triumphant election of the entire ticket. 2 Mr. Salisbury thought the meeting was but prelitminary, and, as o]l the wards were not rep- resep:ed, he hoped that the motion of Mr. Clarlk would be so amended as to have the ward clubs send three or more delegates to a subsequent meeting. and have that meeting agree on the number of delegates cach ward would be en- titled to. - s Air. Stephens called attention to the fact that the probability was that the town and city elec- tfon wonld be held the same day, and the Town C onventions also,and to the necessity of having the delegates:apportioned amoug the wards ac- cording To the strength of the party. Justive Salisbury was opposed to holding the and Town Conventions at the same time. im- portaut one, and the necessitv of ‘holdinZ the Town Convention separate from the City Con- vention wasapparent. He was in favor of the ‘wards being . represented” in both Bonventions according to their vote. “Mr. Malone moved as an amendment to Mr. Clark’s oriw~l motion that ‘each ward be enti- . some good speaking is promised. tled-to one delegate to every 200 votes cast for Governor last fall. Justice Salisbury moved as a substitute thata committce of five be appomted to arrange the ward representation, and report to a future meeting, at which the basis of representation should be fixed. 3 : Mr. Clark said the object appeared to be to get for each. ward the largest representation. He thought the wards had “nothing to do with the Town Convention; it was merely a town af- fair, and all sections of the town were alike in- terested in having zood officers elected. After some further discussion the substitute of Justice Salisbury, and also the amendment of Mr. Malone, were ‘put and lost. . The original motion of Mr. Clark then prevailed. Justice Salisbury moved that the Town Con- vention be held on the 24th at 1 o'clock, which was promptly tabled. Mr. Clark inoved that the Convention be beld on_the2ist at1 o'clock, and the motion pre- vailed. The meeting then adjourned. THE DEMOCRACY. MEETING OF THE CITY COMMITTEX, The Democratic -City Executive Committee held its regular Saturday afternoon meeting yesterday in its rooms in the American Express Bullding, Monroe, near Dearbora street, with o very small attendance. Heory AL Shepard oc- cupled the chalr and H. F. Merritt acted as Secretary. Upon the matter of political assessment, the Special Committee reported as follows: ‘The Committee to whom the question of ward asscssments was_referred at the last meeting of the Committee offer the following report: . Believing that th present evitem of assessing candidates and office-holders for election expenses is wrong in principle aud calculated to_prevent the =nm.~wt adminidtration of public affairs; it is erety Llesolved, By the City Executive Committee of Chicazo, that i}l moneys necessary for the use of this Committce and for the necessary expenses of the coming campaign shall be raised in the follow- g manner: An estimate whall first be made by this Committee of ithe amount of moncy mneccesary to furnish and main- tain jts * beadquarters and for providing such clerical asststance as may be necessary until the fall c‘.\mgulgn of 1877, to which amount should be added the estimated expenses of the coming epring campaign.

The matter of representation in convention from the various precincts of the city was dis- cussed at grear length, and several resolutions offercd by Messrs. Burke, Hotaling, and Mike Beiley. The latter wanted precinct meetings held in all -the wards on the same night, and have delegates elected in “proportion to the number of Democrats in each precinct, basing it upon last fall’s vote, allowing oue delezate for every 250 votes cast, and one for every fraction over. Mr. Mattocks, after much discussion had been indulged in, offered a substitute, which provided for a regular primary election, and gave the wards delegations in the proportion proposed by Mike Bailey, one delegate to every 230 votes, and one for every fraction over 100, but doing flW.‘l{ with the precinet oag:mizuiuu, thus mak- ing 171 delegates for the Conveution.

The sccond regular inceting of the Fifth “Ward Improvement Club was held last evening onthe corner of Thirtieth street and Portland avenue. A Committee on Constitution and By- laws reported a set of rules to govern the body, which were adopted without debate. Mr. H. Brinkinan was eclected Vice-President and Mr. Jobhn H. Ferrell Permanent Secretary. The Chair stated that there were no restric- tions as to the politics or nationality in the Club. All they wanted was to find the best timber possible to construct an Aldermanout of. Mr. D. Jawmes Leary explained the object of the meeting to beto obtain for the svuthcast end of the ward its duc proportion of improve- ments contemplated by the Council. ‘So far there has been a good deal of troublein this Tespect, owing to the fact that Brideeport has always returned the Aldermen for the ward, owing to its prenonderance of voting power. The southeast end claims to represent the ‘wealth and intelligenice of the ward and intends :x'l future to bave its share of the appropria- fons. As a matter of course, nearly a dozen gentle- men are ready to promise all sorts of things, provided they be clected in April next, and most of -these are already enrolled on the books of the Club.

CHICAGO, March 3.—The time is near at hand when we must determine who shall be our can- didate iu the approaching elcction for the Mayor- alty. . That there will be a desperate attempton the part of the tax-eater-bummer element to fill up the decimated and broken rank,and to re- take and get its finances through the ballot-boxes either by fair or foul means, there is no guestion. leadership in the coming coutest is all-impor- tant, snd as many are giving expressions of their preference throngh the press, we would guzgest the name of 8. H.McCrea, one of the present Aldermen of the Twelfth Ward. Mr. McCrea has been Chairman of theFinance Com~ mittee since his election to office. He was spurned from ‘nesriy every bank of Chicago with 2 sneer at the broken credit of Chicago at home and abroad. -But he inspired one of the ablest and shrewdest bankers and capitalists of Chicago with confidence fn the resources, wealth, and integrity of the city. This banker, knowing the good judgment of Mr. McCrea control of the . city aud The in matters of - finance, - came to the res- cue of. the city when prostrated and on the verze of bankruptey, and furnished all the means and money asked by the city to restare its credit at home and._abrond—alone and un- sided. He {nspired by bis indorsement and by his good judgment the popular loan. Although it started slow, .yet by recommending this loan among his moneyed” friends he succeeded in getting it all taken save about $350,000." At this crisfs one firm,. knowing Mr. McCrea's opinion of this loxn as an investment, and hav- ing been acquainted with him on the Board of Trado while twice in the position of its chief zlxecutlvu officer, took the remaining $350,000 oue. 4 - Mr. 8. H. McCrea will not accept a re-election as Alderman of his ward. Can the_city do bet- ter than to ask him to accept the Mayoralty of Chicago? He has not sought the office, nar will he. ievoted with those who voted down the salary-grab ordinance, and votes conscientious- 1y.on'every measure, and is o strict: economist. ‘With himas the standard-bearer, we shall be triumphant. Maxy CiTizeNs. M. &, METER, * To the Editor of The Tribune. CiicaGo, March 8.—As tue Presidential con- test is happily decided, and the coming mu- nicipal clection will soon éngross our attention, Iwould like to make a few remarks through the columns of your paper in regard to the Mayor- alty. We need for the Exccutive of our great metropolis & man in whose ability to govern we have faith,—a man of known honesty and integrity, an energetic business man, and a heavy taxpayer. Such a man is Mr. M. A. Meyer, of the firm of Simon, Meyer, Strauss & Co. He was oneof the founders of the Citi- zens' Association, and fe little known in con- nection with politics, but is one of the'most popular business men in the city. Such a man we want, for Mayor. If the Republicans in this city should adopt for their motto: *No pro- fessional politician need apply,’ and nominate Mr.. M. A. Meyer, orsome other man of his stamp for their ;standard-bearer in the ensuing election, they will surely win. Vox PoruLi. ? T.W.HARVEY. o the Editor of The Tribune. Ca1cAGO, March 3.—1 have noticed lately the pame of Mr. T. W. Harvey, and it is with great satisfaction that T heartily indorse. it for onr next Mayor. 1have known the gentleman for nearly twenty years, and can say that we will go a long way before we can find his equal in execative ability, honcsty of purpose, and a faithfu! fultilment of anything Ee undertakes. He is ane of our self-madé men, and can be re- lied upon by the taxpayers to sttend to their in- terests if ¢ consents to run. I have no doubt but that be, or such 2 man, would he clected. We want no more Colvinism; in -fact caunot afford any more. Roxo PusLico. e e———— FROM THE '’ SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN." Thetests to which Wheeler & Wilson's new sewing machine was subjected at the Centen- ‘nial by the the judzes are notless than won-* derful and will be interesting as showing its mauny strong points; one was, to stitch book muslin with No. 400 cotton at the rate of 600 stitches per minute. To test the case with _which it runs, two thickuesses of muslin were stitched together with No. 60 cotton at a spued of 600 stitches per minute, with the same cotton used as a driving-belt. On patent’ enameled -leather, ‘and without, injury to the surface, lines of stitching were made containing 103 perfect stitches to the inch. - Bags of both India rubber and kid were stitched water-tight at the seamns. Twenty thicknesses of “butternut? duck were sewed together. Again, six layers of tin, alter- nating with seven thicknesses of broadcloth, were all stitched tozether withoutany previous puncturing of the tih. With no chauze in toe adjustinent of either tension, scams were made passing suctessively from one to three and four thicknesses of leather, thence to muslin, and to the thinnest tissue - paper. Calfskin and India rubber were sewed together, and_the feats of making seams with copper wire instead of thrend, and using a_purposely knotted under thread, were successfully performed; finally the machipe was run at a speed of over2,000 stitches per minute. ‘The result of this remarkable exhibition was the three awards to the Wheeler & Wilson machines, and the highest praise in the ofticial report. }J"?Ac judges werc the ablest mechanical ex- perts: no men could have been better prepared {for the oflice or more impartial.
