In 1 day or 50, Mr. Thomas Lynch, candidate for Connty Treasurer on the Democratic ticket, will be visiting the wards and making speeches to Lis friends. While at these gatberings thé following questions will be probably put to him, and they are given here so that he may be ready with satisfactory answers: Js he after the Trensurership for the sake of the glory or the money? If the Jatter, does he mnced it to takeuna £15,000 incumbrance on his LaSalle strect prop- erty? Is it true that he employs no Irishmen in his distillery, and that he gives as a reason therefor that he could not boss them and order them arouud as be wanted to his employes? 1s it true that be wus a publican in 1874, and supported Charles B. Farwell for Congrees against Le Moyne. standing at the polls for the Fourth Precinct of the old Twentieth Ward, and nobly cheering on the boys who voted for the Republican candidate? Is it true that he isa member of the firm of H. 0. Shufeldt & Co., distillers, H. II. Shu- feldt being one of the stockholders in the Fidel- ity Savings Bank3 ‘What is the indebtedness of that firm to the Fidclity—that is, to the poor depositors in the concern? Why aid nis firm pay an assessment of $1,800 tothe Government in 1§76, and whby was it asked to pay $10,0007 ‘What did Marshall P. Beecher, Gauger at. his distillery, say to ghe Graund Jury regarding operations at that distillery? Were those statements such as to create an imprestion in the minds of the jury favorable to the distillery with which Mr. Lynch is con- neeted? What did Phelps, who was Storekee, r, and Miller, who was Storekecoer, say regarding this Qistillery and the way it was run? What was that story about the quantity of whisky made March3, the day before the tax ‘was raisea from 70 o 90 cents per gallon. UNSATISFACTORY ANSWERS. A reporter of the /’ost vesterday called on Mr. Lyuch, aud put the above questions to him, but Tound that person absclutely uncommunicative, except as tothree—the second, third, and fourtl. Mr. Lynch evasively said that his fnancial af- fairs were nobody’s busivess but his own, and he would say nothing on that subject. That is, he admits there is an incumbrance of 315,000 on his property. Wheu a man_is to be trustea by the people with millions of their hard-earned Thoney it is proper that they should know some- thing about his private affairs, and understand how he administers his own business, o that they may see whether be Is a fit person to trust. The question was 8 proper one. The man who retuses to answer it puts himselt in & bad light Lefore the comuiunity. As to his political action in 1875, Mr. Lvnch sald be failed to sec what figure that cut in the present campaizn. The question asked him was 1ot 50 much with reference to his baving been a Tepublican at that time, for t are other ex- Republicans on the Democr: ticket, but it ‘was to give him a chance to state just what he cid gt the {)011! of the fourth precinct of the Twenticth Ward on the election day of 1874. Wbat did he give the men who voted for the Republican candidate for Congressi Aud why did he give it . 1u reply to the others questions, Afr. Lynch £2id that bie Lad a numnber of Irishmen working 1or him at the present time. He has his ber, but e, althoueh a very good-sized fcllow, hardly be called **a number.” It will be ditti- cult tor him to find any other Irishmen about his distillery. ) The answers to the other questians must be more satisfactory or Mr. Lynch will not get in. LIEB. HOW NE RUNS IS OFFICE. The manner in which Gen. Lieb’s office .is mauipulated during election time can only bo ascurtained from a closeanalysis of the pay-rolls in his office, and then by chasing up the names of the clerks on the rollas they appear in the published reports of ward meetings and politic- al conventions. ‘This work 8 TRIBONE reporter undertook to accomplish yesterday, with the announced result, which is respectfally sub- mitted to Gen.

Of vourse he wouldiy nevertheless there are thuse of the clerks who say they were visited bV a commiteee, and re- quested to come down with 10 per cent of their lard-carned stipeuds,—bard-carued, when it is understood thut they have had to listen to Liel’s specches nud buy beer for the worthless rabble which® congregate around the political headquarters in evers pre- cinet of the city during the excitement of a campaign. How well Licb’s nenchmen, patd by the county, did his political work can 'be wefl understood, when the reader is informed that OUT OF THE EMPLOYES OF TS OFFICE, he had twenty-five delegates in the Jndustrial Counveution, and sixteen in the Democratic.

LIEW'S MARRIAGE LICENSES, ‘The falschood of Licl’s stories about his Diring men for their elliciency_and not for their political usetulness is best “shown by the dis- gracerul_coudition of the marriage-icense bouks. These records, which are of vital im- portance,—of more value in many respects than auy others i the custody ol the Clerk,—are in a condition which would” be diseraceful in the buoks of a tenth-class grogaery. They are kent bya set of illiterate fellows who are upac- quainted with the English language, who can- 1ot read, or write, or spell. A specinen of the iterary accomolishments of one of them will be found in the following lette frend Wan. Seipp: 1would to like to ask you Recomment My friend Tho. Loeser for the Dossis- ion us Baar Keeper be “is worthy of any Pieas hop- ing You wili help him and Oblige Yoars P. Ilaxp. The haud-writing of this communication is awfol and indescribable. 1t was not long ago that Father Themas Levdon. pastor ot St. Ann’s Roman Catholic Church down on Wentworth avenue, took occasion to speak to bis congrega- tion of the frightful incapacity of the persons who had. charge of the Cook County marriaze licenses. He held up before bis tiock a couple of them whieh were <o badly written that he 412d been unabie to decipher tiem, and he had aueto the Clerks oflice for the purvose of tinding out the real names. In mauy cases rames on the licenses are misselled, and In luany more are utterly unrecognizable, even by the parties for whom ihey are intended. The man who is partly intrusted with this business is Peter Haud, whio wvas at _one time the Jailer of Cook County, who was indicted for seliing liquor to prisoners in jail in violation of law, and who was also brouzzht before Commissioner Hoyne on a charge of violating the Rey Jaw by selling liguor without the necescs:‘.\:; n license. A ‘person with a record like thisis hardly the maa to put in a place requiring sach care and excellent penmauship as are demauded in a marriage-license clerk. In spite of the ex- postulations of pricsts ond laymen, Gen. Lieb will make no changes, but for some reason un- known prefers to retain Mr, Hand and his beastly system of bookkeeping. COMMISSIONER SENNE, of the Special Committee to whom was referred the question of the e xpenditures of the office of the County Clerk, submitted a report recently showing that salarics could be cut down some $§15.000per_year—allowing the Clerk's pay to remain as fifed by law—without in the least de- priving the émployes of a good living wages This réport was unfortunately submitted for the consideration of the Ring while the cam- peign was in fufl blast, and of course the In- iquitous mejority, who had hopes of re-clection, would not make encmies of the employes by voting to reduce expenses.

NO IRISH NEED APPLY. To the Editor of The Tribune. Cr1cAGO, Oct. 27.—Being a looker-on at the late Democratic County Convention and behold- ing the fine style in which my countrymen Were sold out and delivered by the bonest and eco- nomical Hermann Lich and his gang, 1 desire Inited space in your excellent paper to give a word of counsel toall honest Irishmen as to our duty in this campaign, and at the same time Idestre to propound to Mr. Lieb just a few questions, which, if truthfully answered by him, would settle bis clait to either an *-honest” or #economical ”’ administration of the duties of Counts Clerk. Beliéving that with our nationality, as with all others, a free and fair declaration of the re- sult of any ballot will be demanded, 1 desire to counsel my countrymen to Insist upon the removal of Hermann Lieb’s decree that one Ketchel was nomiuated for Probate Clerk, andthat he who of all others was the cholee of the toilinz_thousauds of Chicago (honest, upright Tom Kavenaugh) shall be” placed upon the ticket. Let this be the rallyinwery for our campaign, and let not the hirelings of Mr. Lieb silence our demand until both he and the tools bich do_his bidding ehall be buricd in 4 poli erave so deep that even Gabriel's trump will niot disturb their slumbers. This s the ‘most lagraut insult which you, my countrymen, have reccived at the hand of suy person or party within the history of Chicazo. To you I -] and hundreds of others, look for assistance in ridding the politicsl arena of this goggle-eved monster. i Now for the benefit of all voters! without re- ard to nationality or regard to party, I desire t present_the following list of questions to Iermann Lieb, and trust that they will each and all demand ap unequivocal answer before cast- ing a vote for the shain reformer. First—Do_you believe the employment of D. A. Stitt as DeFut)‘*C]crlt. and paid by you out of the public funds (to do your dirty political work), to be either honest or economical? Second—Do vou believe the cmployment of Mans Houting by you tor the same purpose, and paid out of public money, to be either Lonest or economical? Third—Do you belicve it to be Lonest or cco- nomical to pay Thomas Gaugh the wages of a Deputy-Clerk out of the public funds for ser- vices as a detective to wateh “the rest of the bovs,” lest they ‘‘mive something away” to “either Kern or the 1lesiug gapg "7 Fourth—Do you believe that during the entire time for which the above-named winen have been paid out of public funds within the past four. mouths, that they have either individually or collectively done forty-eight hours of legitimate deputy clerks’ work for the County of Cook? ifth—Do vou believe that the voters of this Connty are fools, or _do you think the soft-soap of your henchmen will 1éad them into believing a lie that they may be defeated? Ax Inrzn DEMOCRAT. PARSIMONIOUS LIEB. IS RIGID DOMESTIC ECONOMY. Gen. Licb's claim that he has mannged the affairs of the County Clerk’s office with econo- my bas been looked on generally with great distrust. It is truc that he has made the asser- tion day in und day out; but the tigures, twist them how you will, did not seem to bear out his assertion. An examination into Licd's private affairs, however, goes to show that, as far as he himself is concerned, he keows what cconomy is and practices it. So it is possible, atter all, that there is something in bis claim that he is running his office economically, and that it is only the scupidity of the rest of man- kind which prevents their sceing it. Licb turncd ap here along in 1567, a shabbily- dressed, loug-legeed soldler of fortume. He started an evening German paper, known as the dbend Zeitung, 1t is believed to have been started upon credit, and was pub- lished as long as that article was 'to bo found. When his stock of that man out, the pewspaper stopped also. During the 1369 campaign he made specches on behalf of the Citizens' ticket, and the shabby old cloak, and the rusty old liat, and the dilapidated old shoes, are vividly remembered by the frequenters of the ward club meetings. of that year. Though he had worked for the successful ticket he got nothing by it, and soon after left the city for the pur- pose of headinyr a German colony which was to settle near Memphis. Tle colony was a tailure, and Licb returned with the same old cloak, bat, and shoes, a little rustier and = little shabbier, but still the same. He started an- other evening paper, but his stock of credit was soslight that it soon died. Subsequently, WITIL MONEY BORROWED FROM VARIOUS IN- DIVIDUALS, he bought into the Union, the German Demo- cratic paper. In18i3he joined the Irish-Dem- ocratic conlition, contributing his paper, his ora- torical power, and some pretended influence over the Germans. He was nominated and elected County Clerk by the People’s party in the {all of 1873, and went into the office in De- cember of that year. AL that time be bad noth- ing but debts and old clothes, He owed from $6,000 to $10,000, money borrowed from gen- tlemen who had befriended him'in his hour of veed, who had stood by lim whea he was rageed and forlorn,and whom he surely never would de- sert after be came tobe fat and saucy. Gen. Lich is, of course, an_honorable map. We bave his word for it, and that of all the clerks in his cmnlo?’. Those debts, therefore, have unques- tiouably been paid. He has not gone into bank- ruptey, for the Democracy wauld put no bank- rupt upon their ticket. The Workingmen would nominate nobody but an honest, hard-working fellow, with_horny hands wid sweaty Lace, who had paid off all his honest debts to the utter- most dollar. By Deecmber of this year he will have received the last of his pay for 1877 He ets §3.000a year. That makes $12,000 which e has received since he went into office. , NOW, TO LOOK AT THAT ECONOMY which makes Lieb a model for imitation by youne men.—that economy which should ra- place Poor Richard by Hermann Lieb.

In'view of such cconomy, it is nossible that Lieb’s claim that ~ he administers the County , Clerk’s _office economically s 3. justifiable one. Still, it would'be desiravle if he could set it out 4 little more plafnly, just as plainly, for instance, as THE TRIBUNE has set forth his economy in the management of his private affairs. COUNTY CLERK’S OFFICE OR, LIEB’S MATCHLESS CIVIL-SERVICE. A good many facts and figures about the ad- ministration of the Counanty Clerk’s office, which is under the charge of Lieb, the Swiss soldier of fortune, have been given in these columns, and there are more to come. It has l@en shown that the money expended by Lieb has gone on incrensing in amount until it has become nn important element in the politics of Iis party. It has also appeared that the Swiss has been maintaining at the public expense a gang of mercenaries compared with whom he himself rises almost into loveliness, and that he has nsed these men to run meetings and cau- cuses in his interest and those of other men whom he has had good reason for wishine to advauce. This payment of fat wages to iliiterate bum- mers bas wonderfully endeared the Swiss to the lazy classes, and has been one of their reasous | for supporting him. “Sure, doesn’t he pay #ood wages to the poor man,” is ome of his chief recoimendations among the “poor men ™ who are poor because they will ot work. These men do not think that, while Lich is so eucrous, i pays lars wagcs apprently for 1o other purpose than that the recipients may nobty donate half of them to Democratic friends of his. % TO EXPLAIN THIS MATTER FULLY, and to give an idea of the method of cxtracting money from Licb’s clerks (as it is not for hini- sclf, then of course It is for his fricnds and the party), it is only necessa- ry to relate the esperience of onc of the clerks who was in his oflice nearly three mouths last summer. The clerk’s name is T. B. King, and_he 18 at present bookkeeper for L. H. Rice & Co., No. 163 Washington street. He s an old and was a pros- perous busiuess wan_anil the Board of Trade ot him down aud sat upon him. Thus thrown out of business Mr. Kinr was sceking employ- ment, when Dirty-Shirt Daviels, 2 low-down Democratic politician, and the bosom friend of Lieb, approached him and asked him if it were true that he wanted work badly. King replied that he d d; that he was very anxious to get work at almost any price. anicls then asked him bow much he would work for per day, and, after some further par- ley, offered him' $2 ver dav. After King had agreed to these terms Daniels wrote an order on Lieb, and gave it to King to_carry to the Swiss. On presenting it to _Lied, King was at once set to work, as £0on as Dirty-Shirt's order was seen by the County Clerk of Cook County. Befure e had been in place a month Daniels came around and gave him to understand that he would HAVE TO SIGN A VOUCHER FOR “MORE THAN $2 A DAY and that the differcnce would have to be hana- ed over to him, adding, of course, by sbrug, wink, and hiut that it was O. K., and that King could keep his place so long as e divided fair. The prescribed course was {ollowed out by King, who accordingly kept his situation, us the books show, throurh June, July, and part of August, at $ per day, which, be di- Yided, gave the laborer §2 for for the gang, represented by Dauiels, or, for himsell and S5 to be divided up between the crowd represented by Danicls. — The reader is not ut _liberty to infer that Lieb was one of the heneficiarics of the bounty bestowed by King. Such conduct on Licb's part would beimpossible. ~In conuection with this subject it may be added, as a matter of common report, that Daniels is known to be the familiar spirit of the Ring for the luwer and dirtier class of work. It is alleged with the mosz perfect freedom by clerks and others that Dirty-Shirt’s orders on Licb for positions are always houored, and that when Daniels recom- mends a man he always goes to see him_just after his pay-day, aud, further, that he is likely to happen in and see somebody else just after- ward. - It is also atleged that it is a com- mon sight to sce Danicls around amonz the clerks, especially in the lower part of the build- ing, and that envelopes pass into lis hands from such clerks as bave been appointed on his order. ABOUT THE WORST FEATURE OF TILIS BUSINESS is the fact, that when Mr. King wanted to co away into the country to look after some busi- ness be was granted a * farlouh,” and bis name remained on the books all the same for u days,—which, being rendered mto Enelish, mennt that the county had to pay $14 without receiving anything therefor. When Mr. King lett the office for good, he was waited upon by old Dirty-Shirt, who wanted him to o over and re- ceipt for that $44 aud brine it away, so that the Ring could get it. Danicls added that King might_keep whatever sum he thought was right, based on the fact that no work bad been done’ for this money. Tnx TrisUNE dovsn’t know whether Mr. Ring has paia over auy of this money, but it sces no reason why he should. ~ Let him tell old Dirty-Shirt to zo where the worn dicth not and the fire is not uenchied and hunt for the Ring's $22 there. 10 the Swies mereenary’s. daily ar (edited by adefeated Germag oflice-<eeking bummer) he says that he beficves in paymg a falr price for a fair da work. Without pausing just mow to consider the freedom with which Lieb pays away money not his own, it i3 prover to asi him if ho cousiders the $2 a day paid to King a_“fair price” when the county was paying $41 Does the soldier of fortune consider the 2 a day which his friend, old Dirty Shirt, took from King a price Which was the “tair price” for King's day work] Was it the $2 which he bimself re- ceived, or the $2 which the ring got out of him through its agent : Aud Lurther, wasthe S44which'theoflicecheat- ed the county out of when King was “‘on fur- lough,” a * fair price™ tor elevén days’ work whicli were never done? flow mel, Mr. Licb. do you tiunk ofd Dirty-Shirt ought Lo have oui of that $44 for the wang? A CASE OF TIIIS KIND NEEDS NO MORALIZING. It is quite sullicient for the taxpayer to make up his mind on to know that Lich wakes his clerical appointments by the order of Dirty- Shirt Daniels, aud that Daniels theu borrows of the appointees half their pay. It is not possible for any one to fal - to ¢ the conncction. The Swiss may howl, wriegle, and twist as he chooses, but so lung as Dirty-Shurt apuoints his clerks for bim no decent man will vote for the combination. Wouldu't that make a grand rallying-cry for voters and taxpayers: ‘ Lazy Liel aud Dirty-Shirt Danieis 1 “Hurrah for Honesty and Purity " HOONESTY AND ECONOMY. AS PRACTICED LY BOUM. A fair day’s wages for a fair day’s work,” which Gen. Licb, sometimes called Gen. Boum, says he requires of Lis employes, was sigually illustrated yesterdas. Doc Stitt, Lauge, and half a dozen others were busied in the County Clerk’s oflice addressing circalars purporting to be sigued by a person named Hermaon Licb. They were not attending to the duties of their office, and it is not surprising that the County Clerk, who is supposced to bo onfduty durive the day, did not notice them. Later on, during oflice hours, county empiove Edear and various other county employes were seen distributing circwlars in the street. The attention of the County Clerk is cyled to this matter in order that he may prevent his em- ployes from wasting the county time in sending out cireulars signed by a person named Her- mann Lich.

The Republicans have no dissensions in their ranks. The ticket receives their enthusiastic support, and they are rather more than con: fident of success. The new headquarters, at No. 191 Washington street, were formally opened yesterday morn- ing, and a continnal stream of visitors poured in all day. The rooms are large and airy, and, while a little out of the reneral track as rezards location, are decidedly attractive and well suit- el for the purposes intended. A larze sign marks the Iocatfon of the new headquarters, and he that runs may read.

The condition of local poiitical affairs, outside of the Republican runks, is simply chaotic. As it it were not cnough to have four or five differ- ent tickets in the field, the air is full of talk about defections, resignations, bouncing of ean- didates, and all that sort of thing. The Demo- crutie-Workingmen feud has not yet been set- tled, and ail that has transpired about it so far is talk. The Democrats would not object to having the Workingmen’s support, but to ob- tain 1t at the cost of sacrificiug some of their candidates fs a proposition which finds but little favor among the members of 2 party who are hungry for the spofle. The Workingmen, on the other hanl, are not so anxious now to be represented on thay ticket, They are disgusted as well as maddened “at the way the Democrats scooped up their convention and then went back on them 1n therr own, aud among the better clasees of the new party the dominant feeling 1s that they will have noue of it. THE TALK NOW is of an alliance with tne Greenbackers, and the adoption of a fusion ticket composed of the best men they can et out of the two parties, with Judge Wallace, who is neither a Gree backer nora Workinzman, at its head for Coun- Treasurer. Such a ticket, they foudly be- will be supported by the disuffected classes und the independent voters, and will, it it does mnoth clse, spoil the Democ- racy’s caleulations. ‘The Committee appointed to purze the Workingmen’s ticket will report to-tmorrow evening, and it is the talk among the more prinlepled members of the party that tue whole ticket will be wone over, improper per- sons bounced. nnd 4 new ticket, composed of nothing but good men, adopted. Tom Kava- naugh and several others of the Industrials e expressed a willinguess t it the 1 Commnttee deem it adyis u order to fachitate the adoption of this new ticket. ‘There is one man, however, who is about 5 much m favor of resigning as he is of dying, and no more. That is TUGIL M'LAUGHLIN, ‘Warden of Covk County ilospital, the candi- date ou'the Industriat ticket for Clerk of the Criaival Court. There was a story going about yesterday wornivg to the effect that he had ubandoned the field in favor of Tom Barrett, the Democratic candhlate for the same ollice. It came to the cars of Tom,who rather freely ex- 5 ilication that one rival was out .~ 1t afterwards turned out. however, £ the rumor was false, whereupon Tom’s joy was turned into wourning. A TRIWUNE re- vorter afterwards saw MeLaughliv, und had abundantconfirmation of the fact Lhat beintends o stick. Like as Mrs. Micawber remained steadfast and devoted to her spouse, so Me- Langlilin will never desert the Workingmen. Nomwated by them,a workinaman_ for years, and desirous of seeing his party’s principles ad: voeated to the utmost, he will not resign, but o right on, defeated or not. But with most of the Industrials the ‘case_is different. They are isappointed with the Convention’s work, and will, if it is deemed advisable by the Committee, resign, and tet the Committee commence over , and il their places with other men. THE TICKET WRICH ¥INDS MOST PAVOK IN THEIR EYES at present is one composed of Judge Wallace for Couuty Treasurer, W. R. ‘Burdick for County Clerk, and Judge Jameson for S perior Judge: but whether they will resolve on the hecessars changes remains to be geen, A meeting of the Central Com- mittee has been called for this afternoon, at 2 o’clotk, When something of a defimite character will possibly be dune. Judge Wallace has formally resiemed as the Workingmen’s candi- date for County Judge for the reason that he has Irequently stated during the lasi three imonths, that he was not working for the oflice, aud, secondly, because his health will not per- mit bim to remain longer o the Bench. He is therefore avuilable s a candidate for Treasurer on the propused Industrial-Greenback ticket, and it is belicved that. 1f he could be gssured of thie suport of both parties, he would accept such 2 nomination and make. the run, FHe 15 reported, in fact, as saving that, under ordinary circamstances, hie could not. bonorably accept, professing, as he did, to be agenuine Democrnt, Under the’ cireumstances, however, feeling s be did that be bad been sold out ' the Demo- eratic Convention. e conld not but think na was absulved from any such feelings of delicacy. ~ THE nzncc;m’rs il i did not congregate yesterday untfl along wards 2 or 30'clock, ‘?rlu.-n the Jobby, halls, and club-rooms of the Palmer House saw the same old crowd of politicians who-figured there when one S. J. Tilden was their candidate for President. The only ones who had any special business there were the candidates and the members of the County Campaign Committee. The rest came to<alk, and to bolster up their ticket_by pufling it to the skies. They profess to be bugely satistied with their nominces. ai- though there is an undercurrent ot feeling against Lieb, who is beginrning to appear in the light of a teizht heavy enough Lo make sad havoe with the success of the ticket. Tnere is no doubt that many of the more decent mem- bers of the party will refuse to stomach him, and that they will quietly draw their * pea- clis throggh. his name oa election day. His coarse circular published sterday, und carcfully disseminated by his own hand, gained him 1o {riends among those wiio were already averse to him, while it lost him quite a number of the more respectable members of the party who would otberwise have swallowed him. The meeting of the candidates and the County Campaizn Committe was a private aifair, but, from all that could be learned, tbe only busi- ness done was to appoint a Ward Campaign Committee, s Working Executive Committee, and to listen to the flattering remarks of Hush McLaughlin and one or two others who formed a sclf-constituted = delegation from the Workingmen's party to arouse the Democracy that they were going to vote the Democratic ticket whether the Workingracn bolted or not. _And they even went as far as to say what was deciacdly the opposite of truth: namely, that the majority of the Industrials felt just as they did in this regard. The Demo- crats of course expressed;themselves as entirely pleased with this evideace of what they were fond of terming returning reason on the part of the Workingmen, without perceiving that Huzh and his brethren represcuted only a small fyction of that organization, and that their rep- resentations simply belied the more respectable, as well as more influential rmembers of the party. THE COMMITTEES APPOINTED were composcd of the following-numed tried and true hangers-on: WAED CAMPAIGN CONMITTEE.

By invitation, several of the candidates were present.—Dumphy, Cas- selman, and Plant. And, in addition, thére was a delegation from the Industrials, headed by Charley Kinz. The formal registration of Adolph Shocninger, who was nominated for County Commissioner, was received and accepted, -as was that of Ed Shayweross as member {rom the Ninth Ward. No action was taken toward filling the vacan- cies, that being left to the following Executive Committee, who are_to manage the campain: Thomas Lonergan, William Law, dJr., M. W. Ryan, Jobu B. Caitioun, John M. Somers, Will- iam Best, and Otto Schifter. Mr. Smith and J. J. Crowley are members ex-officio. A finauce committee, consisting of John W. Euright, Dave Thornton, aud another, was also appointed. Mr. King was then heard, and he demanded, as did Mr. Laney Friday nieht, tne substitution of Kavanaugh for Reichel. The Industrials also thonght they were entitled to a North Side Commissioner. - After some discussion the matter was refer- red to the Exceutive Committee. They will meet Monday for orzanization, and will then straighten things out, make the assessments on candidates, and set Lieb’s zang of political clerks and other strikers to work. 2 THE GREENBACKERS yesterday held several solemn conclaves and Cancuses, The zang who assembled ai thejBurdick House the night previous wereangry because the ve them away yesterday morn; ‘They pre: ¥ pected to tire out the reporters, bat failed. e the latter -heard all that was said. The only cbject of the crowd was to further Bar- dick’s and Bowen's aspirations for ofiice. Both men want recognition and lucrative office, and with that ead in_view are even willing to ally themselves with the Democracy. The whole game of the few soft-monegites S to make _a coalition. Both factions—that led by Burdick and that led by MeNaliy—are _impecunious and need relief. One set want Wallace for Treasurer, and the other is willing to take Lieb and Lynch. The Workingwen. so far, have snown butlittle svm- pathy towards the Greenbackers. Yesterday many candidates were conferred with, and 1t was understood that Judee Waliace would ac- cept the Greenback nomination for Treasurer, provided the Industrials dropped Lynch and put him in Bis place. Burdick wants the double nom- ination for County Clerk, and will fight for it if necessary. The Convention will be a lively affair to-morrow, if all the factions et 1 their work. There arc some who want to plave an Independent ticket in the field, but the major- ity are in favor of swallowing Lynch, Lieb, and ic ticket. —thiat heded by McNally— t.nignt at 158 Clark street. 10D Was a starchambered one. at D. §. Hammond had always red him that there never would be peace il the Greenbackers were recognized. He pad alwass heard him say that he was o Green- backer. “George Silver, 4 man who wears one of Lich’s brass collars, reiterated this, and stated that Hammond bad asked him to work for him, and Juid stress upon the fact that he was a Creenbacker. Another Intellizeut politiesl aspirant stated thut William Floto was a Green- backer, thoroughbred aud undetiled. The whale thing was merely a mis-bag assemblage, which did nothing exvept talk, and fnally adjourned without doiog anything. MWCREA AND HAMMOND. THE PORMEK. Yesterday ofternoon a TRIBUNE reporter called upon Mr. 8. H. McCrea at his office on Washington street, near Fifth avenue, to find out the truth of vertain statements made, that D. 8. Hamwond had been bouzht off for $3,000, and that, these statements having come to Mr. Hammond’s ears, he had decided to make an in- dependent canvass for ‘The reporter asked: “ Iave you beard that Mr. Hasmmond has de- cided to run indepeudently ¢ “Such armmorbas reached by ears, and T thought it was nothing but 2 rumor.” B 11rse uds b een made that he was bought off tu your futerest for $5,000" “*"That statewient i3 scarcely worthy of notice.

Mr. Sam Collyer called for voluntecrs to dis tribute the books not yet issue . There wag verv little time left, andif they wanted to zaang against fraud, they must getupa list of the names of those cntitled to vote. Julian C. Rumsey said that, in the absence of aregistry law, they were compelled to depend. upon their o3 exertions to prevent frandnlent voting. The books remaining on hand were then dis- tributed.

If they did so they invited every criminal and corruptionist to take part in the proccedings.
