A FRW BIMPLE QURATIONS: A few days ago Tum Trinusx put to Me. Lynch, the Democratie eandidate for Cotnty Treasurers some guestions repariding whisky mattes which hie bas as yet declined to an- rwer. They related to certain statements made by Marstiall ¥ Beacher, Georze Phelps, and others. The questions were interesting ones, touching upon matters with which Mr. Lynch Is familiar, and deserved an auwwer. They lave lad nave, lowever, and o, dropping them, Tns ‘Cuisiss will pass on and ask him some more, which, verhaps, Mr. Lynch may be a little more willing to respond to. They are as followa: Did or did not the house of Bhufeldt & Co,, i shifeh Mr. Lynel is partner and iwanager, re- move from the distillery to the rectifslng bouse prlor to February of 1875 Wigiwinea which hod il padd the tag, said bighwines belug remaoved umlcr the pretense that the barrels centalned wstiery water !

CHANLEY GUEELEY was the Orat speaker. He sald they had met to talk upon matters whicls related to the city amd county,—watters ot vitul futerest, The Hre and the death of Senator Morton were public calamltics. God's ways were Inscrutuble, and we submitted. But the Board of County Commls- sloners was also a public calamitv, [Applause.) Wouldthie people submit to It. There were five vacancies to be iled, and it was of linportauce who sbould be sclected, The msjurity of the Board were Democrats, and bad acted_like Democrats,—locked out for themselves.

It was time for the beuple to wake up aud get rid of those men who had robbed even the pausers aud the {nsane by riving then bad lwzf. | Applause, ) ENERY A. WTORNS was then futroduced, sud was received with ap- pisuse. He aelerred to the execeding fwe vortune ot the comims clection. Nothiog trom the outside—no rivairies of ulber citics, no yanks, the ordinary cisualties ul brade—could surlously impede the growth of Chicago, Ouly oue tifug could scriously tutertere with thy Jrresent wrestnees of the oty, and that wus bwl Loveruwent.

Whether we lad lTonest and vigilant officials must depend of ne- cessity almust exclusively upon the character of the ~ County Board, the eounty ollicials were more or less nuder thelr control, To have moml government, there must be a Bosrd above suspicion. ‘Lhis thing had come when the peapte were ealled apon to change the organization of It. A change [n it changed everything for the etter. Some snidy “aro not the men on both tickets goodl What difs fercuca dues it make which we clect!’ Mr. Storrs proceeded to answer this qeestlon. Wo hud passed the point where charges of corrin- tion against the County Board were apochrys phal. They had been sustained beyond all carthly doubt. Mr. Storrs then referred at conshierable length to the proof brought out in the recent trial of McCafTrey et al., and to the Tact that the Rine_controlled the (eand Juries and peilt Juries, Nothing was more atsolutely Indispensnble than honest bailiffa in the Criminal Court. ~ That Board had made repeated efforts Lo remove Ilarsey Merrlll, and bad bedevlled Kern every day {n otder to recure the appointment of thelf creatures, All the bummers Kern turneil out had found shetter and employmient in Lieb's office. That Hoard could starve the best Sherlfl into obedience un- leas the publie put its foot down. ITIb was the deslre to break up that Ring, it conld be done a great deal hetter by atectunt the political adver- enries of the ring, “That ring was made ukv of Demozrats, a8 all knew, It was too much to expect that the gentlemen on the Democratie ticket would not net with themn. Speaking of Lieb, Mr. Storts sald he had been tn sympathy with the plundercrs, A man was needed in tbat oflice who would not only not rteal himseif, but who woulil not lct auy ono clse ateal,—one who_was hostile to ringe, since the County Clerk held the key of the situation, atul conlid” prevent the paymient of money on Irawdulent cunttacts or bills by . refusing to draw an order on the Trensury. Could there he any doubt as to which wonld mnke the best Treasurer—MeCred or Lynch! Mr. Btorra was willing to exchange Huvk for MeCrea—une watch-dog for auother, but not willlng to swap s watcledog for a wolf when muttun was involved, &Apulnusc.] After mlrurunr briefly to the other Repub- 1ieatt canditdates, In conclusion, Mr. Storrs sald 1t was for the people to doelde whether there aliould be an honeat county adininlatration, If they did not do their plaln duty, there wonld be a continuation of the robherics and plunders ings which had disgraced the county, and which would Inyolve it in countleas difflcuitles and troubles fn the future. [(Applause.} THR NEXT TREASUNER, 8. Iy McCrea, belng prescat, was called for, and antd hio hellovial the Republiean ticket had been made up with deliberation and with the object of u\rvlmI the best Intercsts of the people. 1le nsked those pres- ent to take that ticket and compare it with the one presented Ly the Democrats, aud they would find that ft contained the most Integrity and the larrest guarantes that tne counts affairs should ba pm&mrly eontlucted. 8houll he be chosen the watchdog of the Troas- ury, he would exercise n slecplesa vizilance over nn%nnd all moneys that came fnto his hands, andl at theend of his term rcturn every cent. [Applause.) An attempt was being made to perpetuate the Ring thut had fastencd itselt upon the county, If It was allowed to grow and (nerease—if, through the neelect of tho voters tu wto {0 the polis Tucsday, the Ring shonid retain its power, he believed that a cone dition of thinzs woid ensue that would be Hhe tho city’s aflairs at the close ot the Colvin regime. [Applause. Id, Carv then sald a few words and the mecting broke up, —— MINOR MEETINGS. SECOXD WaRD. The Republicans of the Second Ward held o mecting at Bennet!
