NEW YORK. THE OPENINGS. . Special Corrcspondence of The Tribune, NEW Yomux, Oct. 12~The *openiugs?® are generally considered as fair criterions of whay will be worn, and ot all the prevailing styles and those only. But there are many monstrositics exhibited that never sce light elsewbere, and many fashions are there commended that fail utterly to gain the popular fancy. From close observation of the better ol noted for culture, taste, and refinement.—comes the best and most correct 1deus of good and cepted fashions. Hence it is that the races show the best sclection of styles that we can find just at this time. Coming at once after the obenings, there is bere displayed the pleasing and tastetul portion separated from what is ultra or too bizarre. The races this year have beer no exception but rather a shining illustra- tion of this. There is not the gorgeous di play that Ascot presents, mor the striking couspieuousncss seen at the wretehed little at- tempts known as races amoug the French, but there is much clegant dressing and many su- perb and novel effects. One handsome toilette this week was a Marie Louise silk and satin of the new shade koown as * vieil or.” The skirt of the former has the back trimmed after a new and clegant desigm with plaitings of silk and satin. The overskirt was a rick brocade of “ old gold " on a zround of blue. The tablier front wus edged by a deep fringe combining both colors. " The sides of the rdress were taid in perpendicular side-plaits, and orname ed with bows of double-faced ribbon. This ¢ 1ume, like so many now, hiad the charnung it~ tle coat basque. ‘This was of plain blue silk, while the vointed vest of brocade, and was fastencd with handsome buttons of real gold The bonuet of blue eilk was_exquisitely dec rated by blue aund gold plumes and shaded teasros Long streamers of double-fuced rib- vou, blue and *old «old,” fell wrom the back and similar ones were fastened beneath the chin with a cluster of natural tea-ro: ‘Tne wife of a gentleman who is almost as uoted for his beautifui wife as for his wonderful norses, be- tween which two points of interest his thoughts and beart are pretty equally divided, was GORGEOUS 1N THE FOLLOWING TOILETTH. A prineess robe of maroon velvet had the back tritnmed by a deep, box-vleated flounce, g0 ar- ranged as to show the lining at frequent inter- vals. This liviug was of salmon-colored satin, The front breadth and the side-bodies In the back were of brocade, a ground of salmon satin under velvet firures of maroon eolor. The clbow sleeves of velvet were finished by a pleat- ing of brocade, and under these were close coat- sleeves of satin edeed with a frill of rare lace. The Dbobumet was at once the admiration and envy of all the fair ladies who saw it. It was a sal- mon-colored fclt of exquisite finish, the oniy one of s volor in Amers think of the enviable distincti only thing of its kind! Folds of mossy plush of a rich maroon color were drawn about the crown and arranged ina novel bow directiy in front. At the side were two beautiful pluies of maroon shading iuto the most delicate sal- mon, and se nestled a tiny humiming bird, £o on wires that with every motion of the boninet its brilliant wings fluttered, and it seemed to throw a shower of jewels from breast and neck.

The trim- Inine comprised a rouleau of velvet, Tich bronze- green about the crown, und 8 wreath of gera- nium red r with bronze and &ilver leaves. From the lelt side, curling over the crown,were two lovely ostrich feathers, one bronze and the other shaded from_geranium red to its palest, Tuintest stadow. The lady wearmi the toileite carried with her a charuiing wrap that was comething yuite new. It wis a cloth fabric, of a soft *cafe-au-init 7 tint, and was to be worn nsacape. It reached slightiv Dbelow the waist, ind whs cut more than half-way up in deep glashes, thus forming sezments about a quarter of u yard wide. one of tliese was cup at the bottom in a mitre-shaped poiot.

Below this fell a frince some seven inches deep of rich Roman colors mingled with clair-de-lunc b ds. A decp col- lar 6f velvet was cut to correspond with the Tower edge of the garment, and was corded witht itself. It wasa vers peeuliar lttle wrap, but ywas evidently much admired.

The n]crdrcss isa polonaise of bourette, of gray shot! with brown, white, and gold color, this latter ndmixture be- ing in gatin threads. The right side of the polo- naise is caught up with gold-colored cords, and 80 shows a facine of rich seal brown velvet. The other side falls low in a point. The bacl is disposed in three pufls slushed with velv folds, which are lined with gold-colored satin. In front a jacket is outlined by satin- faced revers of vet. The sleeves of velvet have claborate cuffs of that material, bourette and eatin. The richuess of the materials, the pleasing blending ot the colors, and the beauty of the whole desien, tend to make this one of the most elegunt toilettes T have seen for some time. A morning-lress ordered for the same lady is of chamoisolored French merino.

The back is laid to fall in 2 fluted train from the belt downs is very long, and without trimming. From the neck o the waist is a jabot of Valenclennes lace interspersed with loops of bluesatin ribbon. Made by the same house to accompany this tte are slippers of chamois-cloth with slen- der square blue bheels and elaborate bows of white Valenciennes and blue satin ribbon. Some other equally goreeous costumes are to be pre- pared for this self-same lady, but they are yet in embryo. Matrie S, THE RAILROADS. NEW LINE TO THE PACIFIC. The people of the United States arc now ina fair to secure snother through line to ‘the Tacific Coast, independent of the Union Pacific, without being taxed to death to assist Col. ‘Thomas Scott in retricving his fortunes by pay- ing for the completion of the Southern Pacitic Railroad. The Atehison, Topeka & Santa Ie Railroud, which is now running from Kansas City and Atchison to Pueblo, hus just com- pleted arrangements for the extension of its line to the Pacific Coast without asking any more assistance from the country than is usual- Iy wranted to cnterprises of such vast im- portance. This road is principally owned by Boston capitalists. who have long been sching 10 spoil the plans of Jay Gould and Thomas Scott. The former has héen charg- orbitant tolls on the traflic to and from ic Coast beeause bis is the only line now leading there, and the latter is askit the prople to build a line of which he alone will de- rive all the beuetits., These Boston gentlemen have already com- menced the work of extending their line, and they have tendered the managcment of the road o a gentleman whose reputation is suflicient to sruarantee a successful carrving out of the en- terprise. Surveying parties are now in the field from Pueblo west. to lay out aline to conuect with the Utah Southern, wiich will bring it to Salt Lake City and Ogden, where it will ‘councet with the Central Pacific, The distance is less than 40 imles, aud there are no particular obstacles in This live will be superior in some re £pects to Jay Gould’s Union Pacific, and has much le: m rirorous winters. But Dbesides this, it 1s contemplated to push the road southwest via Santa Fe, and connect it with the completed portion of the Southern ¢, which is now running to Fort Yuma, aud is heing rap- ed castward. This will spoil Col. arzument tnat no one else than himself ive an Eastern outlet to the” Southorn Pa- nd that it will have to be done with the auce ot the pation. an whoin all probability will take charge of the gigantic enterprise is Mr. W. B, Genceral Superintendent of the Chicigo, on & Quiney Raiiroad. The position was offered 2o Mr. Strong eeveral wecks ago with such inducements as to lead him to consider the offer favorably, sud he hus finally made up ‘his mind to accept. provided the Directors of the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe will unani- mously consent l‘ml be shall have full control withont interference from any ove. Al the Directors but one have already “acceded to Mr. Strong's demand, and this one, who is alsoa Director of the Chicazo, Burlinrton & Quiney Railread, will undoubtedly follow the sume se, having witbhield his ature thus far v on account of his reluctance to see Mr. Teave the Chicago, Burlington & Quincy, of which he has managed with such sigrnal abitity. Mr. Strong’s trausfer to more useful and im- portant fields of labor leaves a vacancy in_the General Superintendency of the Chicigo. Bur- lington & Quiney Railroad, and it has not yet been definitely decided who is to fill his chau Were it not for the fact that Mr. C. E. Perkin the present Viee-President of the road, is an: jfous 10 sever his connection with the Chicaro, Burlington & Quincy, he would undoubtedly come here and fill the place himsclf, but as it is, it is hardly probable that he will accept. The reason that Mr. Perkins that he is also the General Ma lington & Missouri River Railroad in Nebras This road, as is well known, has been tryin: some years past to compel the Union Paditic to pro-rite with it as far as Kearn The matter is mow before Congress for adjudication, and vill probably come up during the comg ses- jon. On account of Mr. Perkins’ conucction h the Chicaco, Burlington & Quincy, Mr. Jay Gould has been discriminating against the latter road, believing thereby he would be able to force Mr. Perkins to terms. Mr. Robert Har- ris, the President, and several other gentlemen prominently connected with the 120, Bur- Tinzton & Quiney Railroad, do not like.to have their Hne made the seabegoat for other peop! and Mr. Perkins. in order to have his nands Tree and be usle to_fizhi Gould to the bitter end without hindrance, has _sent in his resignation as Vice-President of the Burlinzton, which, however, has not - beeu ac- cepted, As the matter now stand. the probabilities are that,in tlfé event of Mr. Strong eaving the Burlington Road. President Robert Harris will resume the management himself, and if it becomes nece ry to fill the position of aperintendent Mre. W C. Swmith, at P cneral Freight Agent of the road, has the best show forit. — No better or abler ma for this position could be fourd, as Mr. Smith is well posted on all the duties sppertaini this responsible position, having formerly filled the oflice of General Man: of tne Indian anolis, Bloomington & Western Ruilroad with ood judgment and abi AN IMPORTA RAILROAD R WIEEL Newr York Bulletin, An interesting test by hydranlic pressure was recently made at the Harleia Ruilroad machine shops, in the presence of a large number of railroad men, upon two of the Atwood stecl tire railway wheels, the peculiarity of which is that the tire s ield tolts place upon the centre Dy a packing of hemp, dispensing entirelv with bolts or rivete. ror the purposes of experi- ment, & wheel which had tun 40.000 miles, the tire of which showed signs of being slizhtly Toose, was first_selected. The experiment was to show - that :although a tire may work it cannot. come off, the hemp pac of plicd, the tire was scen 10 €tart at « pressur three tons, The pressure being increased un to 241§ tons, caused the wrought iron ving, whith is simply used to cover the opening through which the pack- ing is iuserted, to spring off. When ihe pressure was further carried up t 5 tons, it caused the tire to move off 23{ inches (about half way off), but still Teft it firmly nised to the centre. . As asccond experiment, a wheel was stlected which had also run 40,000 milvs, m gound condition. To this a pre 374 tons was applied. when the tire showed indica- tions of moving less than one-sixteenth of an ineh. It was mot thourht necessary to carry the experiments any further, the demonstratio: Deing perfect that fires secured in this way are safe beyond all contin <. A set of these wheels, which have during the past winter and summer run 180,000 miles. under a slecping-car weighing thirty tons, ave fully demonstrated what is claimed for this wheel, the perfect tastening of a steel tire to 2 iron centre, decreasing the noise and jar, d also the wear and tear upon rails and Jjournals. THE MICHIGAN ATR LINE. A Detroit_dispatch in yesterdav's TRIBTNE stated that Rufus Osborn & Co. of the oririnal Michi pany, hzd brought suit in the United States Circuit Court Friday to fmpeach the foreclos- ure and sale by J. Youug Scammon of that part of the road running from Rideway to Romeo, claiming that the morteage under which thesale was ade was fraudulent.

The foreclosure also took place some years ago, and he thinks it ratber late to rake up the matter now. LOCAL POLITICS. A General View of the Field in Which the Candidates Are Arrayed. The Greenbackers Hold a Pow-~ wow and Decline Publicity. . An Anti-Hesing Feeling in the Third and Eighteenth Wards, The pohitical field during the week just closed has not been cleared of much of its debris. The candidates are so numerous that about an aver- age of ten can be found for every office. For the most part those who arcofferlng themselves are not men over whom the public will grow frantic with enthusissm.. A great many men are secking office who have never been known as anything elsc than ward bummers and pot- house politicians. This is true of all the parties now in the field. The amented death of - Dau O'flara has ‘broken up the Lich combination with which he was allied. In order for Licb to succeed It is nceessary, according to Democratic teaching, that an Irishman should bead the ticket. Ilence bas beeu tuken up to vorking Torce, Which he brings at ouce into the contest. The friends of Judge Wallace think that Mr. O'[ara’s death has increased bhis cliances, but this seems hardly to be borne out by thefacts. MilesKeho.anotherchronicofliccholder, thinks he sces 4 show for getting hold of the money-bags of Cook County. Lieb’s dragoons are working with an enthusiasm prompted by a forlorn hope. Think of such hard y sons of toil s Pat Raflerty, Stitt, Gleason, Johuny Craw- ford, and others whose hands have become brawny and blistered by milking the public teat at 34 a day and who are doing Lieb's clection- cering by trying to control workingmer’s meet. ings, It scems that the Democracy are stri ing hard to get control of the Industriuls the Commuui little confidence futt in then bolstering up, Hence their great anxiety for {.l e welfare of the workingmen and their fami- i ad ‘They know that there is but and they wanta 8. H. McCrea has loomed up as a very strong candidate for the County Treasurcrship on the Republican ticket, aud his friends are doing much to advance his cause. Mr, McCrea is from the Twelfth Ward, where, also, Mr. Kob lives, who is a candidate for Probate Jud who has_for partners Park-Commissioner Star ford and ex-Congressman Ward. Mr. McCrea is well known, and hi izht record us an Al- derman will not injure him any in the eyes of the public. The Republicans exhibit a deter- mination to put up only first-cluss men, especially for the County Comti erships. The citizens’ movemeut seems to have fallen through, after the i ch the Committee of Thirteen has ereated. Their action i The Greenbackers at present are the tenants of a house that is 3 1%, The conceited MeNally. the boss bla f the arty, and the loud-mouthed A. C. Cameron have: done much to bring this about. There is liable to be some lively seatping iu that camp at the next meeting. The Communists have a beadqu: , but fio money and but little fol- lowin! trinls are developing more strength then politicins are inclined to credit them Wi and they will work in the pres campaign; hence the anxiety of the Democr: to buy thém out. THE GREENBACKERS. The Cook County Central Exceeutive Commit-~ tee of the Greenback party held a meeting at 4 o'clovk yesterday afternoon at the headquarters, 53 Clark street. Ex-Commissioner W, R. Bur- dick presided. and A. C. Re ted a6 Secre- tary. Mr. Silver, of the Thirteenth.

Mr. Greeley inquired how, if the Committee were not to report until next Saturday evenin, they could be allowed to tell the names all over the'eity in fl:;‘.- meantime. The conundrum was ere Mr, Custer, the Sceretary, offered some reso- Iutions that the Secretary be instructed not to allow the minutes of the Club to go out of his possussion, nor be allowed to sign another name to the roll, and that new names e only recelved in open Club, and each man be required to sizm his own name.

Mr. Hesing, however, declared that he had been attacked in' a_cowardlv mau- ner iu a regular meeting of & club, and would only defend himseif before 2 regular mecting.

Pomeroy. ¢*Brick™. e hurled inveetives at the Demo- cratic and Republiean partics, spoke in favor of &topping the 1ssue of non-taxable bonds in place of greenbacks: areued that the Government had the power to_issue the greenback and put it upon a par with €old; maintained that such a poliey would stert the paralvzed industries of the country, and re-establish times as prosper- ous as were the vears immediately succceding the War, und closed his speech with deal of persomality, acknowledging be had wasted fifteen years in working tor what he had thought to be and wisu- ing that he may have lifteen more cess of the principles ¢nunciated by the Greenback platform, and said that the boadholder who paid 1o taXes and lived on the bouc and musele of the workine classes was the bird he was aiming to bring down. FIPTIL WARD. TLast evening the Republican Club of the Fifth Ward met at the corner of Arnold and iriy-first streets.

Mr. 8. C. Hayes and Mr. J. L. Bennett were nominated. The Iatter was clected. Several new members were voted into the Club. On motion, it was decided to call the roll and mark all names who were doubtful Eepublicans, and appoint a committce to *“drop around ™ and make a political cxamination. Abouttwenty of these names were thus “sputted.” After the transaction of some further unim- portant business the Club adjourned to next Saturday night. FIFTEENTH WARD. A meeting of the Fifteenth Ward Republicans was held Jast evening at the corner of Webster ana Clybourne avenucs, a few miles south ol Miwaukee. It may have been in great part owing to the loeation of the mecting that the attendunce was quite small. Mr, Peter Bus- chush presided, and specches were made by Messrs, W. P. Underwood, Henry Zimple, W. H. Fuller, and others, A baker's dozen of adherents to the princi- les of the Workingmen’s ast evening at the cornerof Webs port avenues. The only person who could be prevailed upon to make a speech was C. G, Dixon, the renezade Republican, who is secking popuiarity and things by passing himsels off as a workingman, and casting bis fortunes with the Industrial infant. His speech last night to his ignorant learers was a fair sum- ple of - muny others be has made of late. In the course of - his remarks he got in a diz at Chinese cheap labor, which, in his opinion, was wholly wrous, and should not be tolerated, - Somehuw or other the remarks i not set w t least one of the workingmen present. burly Iri with a clay pipe in his mouth and consi stimulants on board. Arousing himsell with an effort, he sturdily maimaiued that if he could g s he termed the Mongolians, v, he would hire And the adverator of the “Chince” went on to cents a d ¥ frthermore that, so hielp him God, the itz bube » who hud just spoken would be the very first mai o etnpiog ¢ eap Tabor ithe could get it. This, of course, brought Dixon to his feet with a denfal of the' base in- sinuation. But bis opponcut was not to ke suuclched, and, in his drunken _vondition, ap- plivd to the sed T after office a whole str_iuz of Dizsphemous numes. which it would bardly be edifying to the rewder to sce in print. It may be doubted, however, whether he said_ansthing morc severe than that 1ixon was “coming it ” over,them for_the purpose of get- ting their votes. Some of the fellow’s compan- jousexged him on, while othiers cried *Shame? The thing might’ have terminated differently, fiad not Dixon_ retired ta the rear of the room, Where e kept bis mouth shut, during the re- ‘mainder of the meeting. EIGHTEENTH WARD. The Eighteenth Ward Republican Club held a rousing thceting at the North_Side Turner-Hall Inst cveninie, Mr. E. C. Larned in the chair, and Mr. W, G. Goodrich acting as Secretary. Ui, McMullin, of the Commwittee on the Or- ganization of the Ward, reported that they had decided to make some one responsible for the canvassing of the various precincts. They had i‘.fi?{fifly“‘é"’“e men for ‘u? T three precincts, erc in hopes of ing ey pes nding good men for Mr. Coliyer moved that a committee of nine, one from cach precinct, be selected by the Chair to take care of thejcanvassing books and see that the work is done properly. An amendment was adopted that the present Committee in charge of the matter sccure the Proper persons. The Secretary read the report of the Treas- urer of the spring campaign, showing that there was the sum of $13 still on hand. Mr. Gregary moved that the bat ibe passed around to replenish the Treasury. . Mr. Corbin moved. as an amendment, that a Finance Committee be sppointed to nominate a comuittee of twenty-five to make a collection to defray the expenses of the Club. The amendment was adopted, and such com- mittee apoointed by the Chair. Mr. E. F. Cragin’ stated that as the Club had no constitution under which 'to work, he would therefore offer a resolution. Before doing so, however, he would say a few words. They had come here to sciect delecates. It was neces sary to have the very best and most unexcep- tionable candidates if they meant earnestly to bring about reform. They must, therefore, see to it that the right kind of men are selected as delegates. He then offered the following reso- lution, which was vociferously cheered and ap- plauded: Resolred, That this Club shall be conducte the beut interests of the public and the l(ennbd\!c?rx; party, and in our future deliberations we will not tolerate the advice or counsel of any known cor- cuptioniet or criminal. The Chairman stated that there hadbeen sent to him extracts from the Times, Daily News, and Iiree Press commenting upon his conduct unta- voribly becausc be allowed Mr. Heswg to ad- dress the meeting. Any fool, Mr. Larned said. ought to know tbat he had uo power in the mut- ter and could not control the desires of the Club, and he was therefore pleased at the action of the Club. Mr. Hyde offered the following: Recotred, That this Club approve of the conrse of our Prestdent, the Iou. E. C. Larned. fn his efforts in_connection with other patriotic citizens to eccure honest local zovernment, whether within or without the Kepublican varty. MThe reading of this resolution called forth a storm of applause commineled with hisses. Col. Scribuer, candidate for the oflice of Clerk of the Criminal Court, made a strong ap- peal agaiust the adoption of the resolution. There were enough good Repubiicans in the city, and under no circumstances should they go outside of the party ure wood cun- didates for the oflices, ~ He was vociferously ap- plauded throughout his speceh by the radical portion of the Club. Mr. Larned rose for an explanation, and stated that the party conventions had often wade mistakes, and it bas often been necessary to repudiate the party candidate, and cited the case of Clark Lipe, whom the Republicans once vominated for County-Treasurer. He had always found that the candidatesfor offices were the most radical and exacting. Only such men who did not seck oflice were indep cenoush to go outside of the party if the party refuses to make proper nominations. e cared not tor disapproval as long as he knew he was right, and was acting for the best iuterests of the peonle of this city. Mr. Elliott An did not Lelieve in approv- ing private matters to eobauce the popularity of certuin persons. It was not indivuluals hut principles, and he had beeu contending tor principles. [Applat 1M the President bad been ¢ d fn the press as he had been, be would have a hide us thick as a rhiinovero: aughter.] e deprecated the Presiden trylng to get up indepznd- fates for County Commissioners. Ile dent if he would voie for x Demoerat while he was President of a Repub- lican Crub? [Cries of questiontand confusion. | He continued for some length deprecsiing an indorsement of the President who did not re- quire it. and would do 1o one any goud. ‘The resolution was adopted atter voti an amendment by Col. Scribuer to stril the wora without.” The result was vocifer- y applauded. Mr. Wiiling moved that twenty-scven names e selected und | conspicuously’ placed on a blackboard from whom shall be sciceted nine names as delegates to the Republican Conven- tion. On motion, it was dexided’to appoint a com- mittee of nine to see who is” entitled to vote at the pritoaries. Ou motion, the Seeretary was ordered to re- ceive names for delegates until - twenty-seven were on the blackboard. A supplemental motion by Mr. MeMullin was adopted, that as many cavdidates be placed on the blackboard as the meeting should dusire. A communication was received from the Ger- man-Amcrican Club stating that 2 committee ol five had been appointed to aet with a similar one to be appointed by the regular Club to decide upon delegates to the Convention. Mr. Corbin ctated that since thecommunication was written it had been decided that all elibs should work us one club, and_ therefore no action on the communication was to be tuken. Mr., Cragin_ moved that the Committee from the German-Awmerican Club be permitted to namne some of tie candidates. Adopted. Nearly balf of those present were nominated and their names_placed on the blackbourd. When Mr. Julins S. Bumsey was named, he de- clined, because be was a candidate for oflice. [A(S;pluu n motion, it was decided to select the nine candidates for delegates out of those on the black list by ballot. “The Chairman aunounced that the Republican primaries of the ward will be held at the Norih Side Turner Hall a week from Monday, from 2 p.m. to 7D m, The ballot for Club candidates for delegates resulted as_follows: IL J. Willing, Dr. G. Hessert, O. H. Horton, W. D. Houglitaling, ¥. M. Blair, fl. N. Mann, George Atzel, W. I Bradley, and B. iI. Seliziman. The above ticket was handed to Tre Trin- UNE reporter long before the ctection took place, with the information that it had been de- cided’ upon at a conference held at C. R. Cor- bin's Bouse a doy or two ugo, and the fact that it was clected almost unanimonsly goes to prove the correctuess of the information. The gentlemen nominated are, as faras can be as- cerlained, in_favor of S. H. McCrea for County ‘Trensurer, with the exception of about three, who will probably support Mr. Julisa 8. Rum- sey. They are unanimously for Mr. William Fiotow for County Clerk, aud for Judge of the Probate Court they are divided between 1. 1. ‘Thomas and Julius ntnal. How they stand on the other candidates could not b¢ ascer- taiued. Bl R MENTION. Mr. Redmond Prindiville is prominent(y men- tioned in Democratic_circles 13 a candidate for the office of County-Treasurer. The Workingmen’s porty. of iyde Park met to the number of thirty in Fritz Busse's saloun, on flyde Park avenue, last evenine. The meet- ing was called to order by the President, D. L. Carmichael, who was clected at a meeting last week. Latrick Garrity, the Sceretary, read the minites. A few speakers then elucidated uoon the Workingmen’s platform, which terminated the proceedings. At last the workingmen have started a paper —the Chicazo Workman—a four-paze affair gotten up in the interest of the Workinamen’s Industrial party, and published by Messrs. John K. Seully & Co. Just who is re i contents is unknown, but the matter has a sort. of Cameronian ring. A larze portion of its space is taken up with the platform of the party and its orzunization, while the rest is devoted to editorial matter, copious scissorings, and a lototsnide * ads,” apparentlysetip from a stray copy of “patent inside.” Nobody necd take it up and expect to find any news fnit. It isn't that kind of n sheet. Itis” only an organ. For appearance’s eake the price is put down st 5cents, but from the way it is judiciously seattered at the workingmen’s mectings the probability is that it is miven away. The first number appeared yesterday, but if_the publisl ersand editors bave the usual good Inck 3 tonching obituary will coyer the first page some- time next month. ELBRIDGE G.

Criicaco, Oct. 13.—It is well kuown and un- derstood by the citizens of Cicago ana Cook County that they will be very svon cailed upon 1o elect certain Judges of the Superior, Probate, and County Courts. ‘The most fmportant part isleft to the delemates elected to the Repul- lean: Convention, and citizeus have a right to claim that the_delegates make nominations of the right kind of material,—learncd members bi%he Bar, men whose past records will bear investization. Iu this remard, [ refer more par- ticularly to the Judgeship of the Superior Court, which s a vers important office fn the gift of the citizens of Cook Cov.mti'; and 1 think I am right in saying it is generally con- ceded, not onlyby the légal profession but by the citizens of this county, that the Hon.John A. Jameson, who has presided as one of the Judges of the Superior Court for about twelve ycars, has performed the judicial functions of his office impartially and I think [ may add satis- factorily to the poblic generally of Cook County. There is an old adage, that a good servact, especially in a place of pubdlic trust, is invalua- ble. This applies especially to our judiciary. In_the courts of Enrland, a Judge once ap- pointed holds his office until his death, his removal seldom or mever occurring unless by his own misconduct, such cases being very rare indeed. < ‘The Hon. John A. Jameson has faithfully dis- chargzed the duties of bis office, and I think the delegates to the Republican Conventlon, in rec- ognition of his long and faithiful service, should certainly give him the nomination.

TUnited States Senator Angus Cameron war in the city Friday on his way from La Crosse, Wis., to Washington, to attend the special ses- slon of Congress. A TRIBUNE reporter cor- raled him, as it were, in the rotunda of the Tremout House last evening, when a briet conversation took place. Of course, matters turned upon politics, and the reporter asked of the prospect in Washington—how the parties stood. The Senator felt hardly inclined to answer. He simply said: * I hope for the hest; the con- test will be close.” ** Will ot the Ohio election have a depressing effect on Wisconsini"” “ Defeats sometimes work that way, but they sometimes react and cause the opposition to muster their forces and rise in their might.
