FIOW THINGS LOOK. s In the Second District it has not yet been de- cided when the Convention will be held. The Campaign Committee meets to-morrow evening in Justice Matson’s office, and will then proba- bly fix upou a time, which cannot be far distant. The absolute refusal of Mr. Leonard Swett to accept 8 uomination n this district, which was published during the week in Toe TriBUNE, bhaj intensified the efforts of the various candidates, none of whow felt that he had much of a chanee as agaiust Mr. Swett, but cach of whom felt confident of beating his other rivals. From present appearances Gen. Beem seems to be a little abead. - Gen, Davis has dropped guite behind, seeming to have more active fricnds among the Democracy than auodg the Repuolicans. The ability of Mr. Woodard, who probably stands sccoid -best at present, is undisputed, and it is admitted that ne would make a superb canvass if nominated; but it is claimed that his availabi ty is notaswreat as that of Gen. Beem, wh tms antavouized no interest during his fiere. The following tavle of the vote in shuws plainly that the district is a Republican one, and also that Gen. Davis is not the man to carry it These firures tell their own story, sud indicate the necessity for uomnating 2 man who can bring out the full Republican voie, and even make inroads into that of the Democrats: AaNNOLLY 6,aLv18 uAx0N0d ‘The proceedings of the different aity vol ling- 5, which wereé remarkably uncveutful, ngess follows: 3 THE FIFTEESTH WAR was beld at O'Brien’s, on Larrabee siret, just north of North avenue, and resuited inthe election of the rezular Clab ticket nomi- naed Friday evening: Peter Buschwa, W.

REED'S POSITION. In the First District everytuing still appears to indicato the success of Mr. Aldrich. Last Sunoay mention was made of the fact that. in certain contingencies, Mr. Charles H.. Reed might be considered as in the field. Mr. Reed retarned from the East yesterday morning, and"a veporter calizd on him to learn the truth of the rumors rezarding his Con- wressional aspirations. « Are yon a candidate?” asked the reporter. N0, sir,” said Mr. Reed. “lave you said to uny one that you would accept the nomination provided at least $1,000 of your campaien expenses were paidy” + No, sir; or a0y oiher sum.” “Would you accept the nomination if it were tendered to you?” < “If the nominstion were tendered to me unanimously, I miglit not feel at liberty to de- cline it, althougn I do not waut the otfice.” And this closed the interview. Since a unanimous nomination is hardly likely to bappen, tnis leaves Messrs. Aldrich and Havwes as the chief candidates, and of the two tue former scems to be abead, alihoush the lat- fer has been making b vigorous fight during the . Who will have the delegates from Du- Page is uncertain, but they are claimed by Mr. and it he siartsoif on the first ballot swith 2 majority from the wards ther will most ¥ vore for him on the second. y THE FOURTH WARD Republican Clab held a regular meeting last evemng at tlic rooms of the Sixth Batialion Ar- mory. Ex-Ald. Stewart, the President of the Club. occupied the chair. . The attendance was large and enthusiastic, several new members coming forward and signing tocir names to the roll of the Club, which now contains upward of 330 names. Gen. O. L. Meon addressed the Club ofter the usunl nmouut of routine business had been travsacted. Mr. Benjamin M. Wilzon then spoke on the political guestious involved in the coming cam- palgn. He spoke vigorously in favor of hard money, drawing a brief butline of the history of paper ‘moncy irom the assiguats of France to- the present psper carrency. He claimed for the present American curreiicy a great supe- riority over that of any country. The iolly of the fiatists was shown up and vigorously de- pounced. . His remorks were frequently ap- plauded. After him, several members of tue club spoke, among them being Mr. D, Vaughan, who anuou Limself as an old-line Republican, but not a candidate for” Conzress, Carl Prelzels Jieel-y and the Zimes to the contrary DOtwith- standing. “Several prominent candidates were expected, but failed to arrive io time, and the meeting then adjourned. The Club will nold regular meetings every Saturday evenmg at § p. m. during the campaign, at the Armory rooms. MISCELLANEOUS. - SECOND SENATORIAL.

TWELFTI WAND. A mecting of the Auxiliary Republican Clyb of the Twelfth Ward was held. last evening in the Bethel Chapel, on \Western avenue, near Polk strect. George K. Hazlett presided. There was not a very larege audience present, out the meeting was honored by the presence of -geveral ladies.” Col. Dun Muun, who had been “fuyited to make a speech before’ the clube was introduced by the Chair, and he delivered one of the most telliing and eloquent haraugues that have been heard during the campaigu. The meeting then adjourned. & EVANSTON. ‘The yarious lopal candidates have commenced an acrive and vizorous campaizn. ‘The contest is rendered especially interesting by the fact that two of the most prominent caudidates for the State Senatorship in the Seventh District, and two of the candidates for Cuuntfi Commis- sioner, resided in Evanston. The Hoo.d. I Kedzie was early In the field as a Senatorial candidate, and, from all appearances, has bet- ter prospects of carrying Evanston than Capt. W. 'N. Brainard, who bas lately announced himseif as a candidate. The fiht for the Com- missionership is closed, each of the candidates Having beei unusually industrious, each having numerous warm fricnds, and each’ befog con- fident of sucgess. ? THE SOCIALISTS, ‘The Agitation Commit of the Socialistic Labor party held a meeting Jast evenioz at No. 7 Clark street. The oreanization of ward clubs or sections was discussed, and Clptains thereof were in- structed to send in lists of members, officers, etc.. of their respeetjye orzanizations, and also judges and notarics of election. *The Executive Committee appointed at the last meeting was fally orzanized by the appointmentof a Finance and a Printing Committee, etc. Tte Commit- tee apoointed a list of spcakers for the present campaign, and Mr. Morgan filed @ protest sgainst Mr. Parsons acting as one of them. The Committee then adjourned THE FIREMEN. - . Closing Exercises of the Tauinament. Testerday opened clear and pleasant, with o light and cooling breeze from ihe south. Be- fore 10 o’clock the crowd ‘began to arrive ab Dexter Park, and when the first exercisg on the programme was, taken up all the seats o the grand stand weré oceupicd, and a miscellaucous multitude was gathered abgat ‘the centre of at-. traction, the judges’ stand.. The audience Was by far the larzest of any day during the tourna- ment, and therc was plenty of enthusiasm shown by the fair as well os by the baser sex. The number of visitors was variously estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000. 1t was notjceeble that there was a far larger proportion of private carriages than on previous days, acd a glance at _the rows of well-dressed people in the grand “stand proved that Chicago was unusually well represented in the audience. v, If amusement was what the crowd came for, it must have been disappointed; if excitement, nothing more conld be asked. There were two aceidents of a thrilling character, one'fireman falling headlong from the top of a four-story building before the very eyes of the thousands of spectators, ond another mavaging-to get ‘himself badly burned in trying to exhibit his prowess by plunging info a flaming building. These two incidents were not down upon the nrozramme, but they were sufficient to mar the ‘enjoyment, of wany who had come with the'éx- pectation of sceing ouly a_display of -firemen and fire-engines, unattended by violen sickening accidents. g The first contest was between hand en: and hose carts, which were required to be.run forty rods, the companics then throwinz the suction pipe foto the tankand unrecling one sec- tion of hose. For,the contest there entered .the New Peorias, ‘of Peorig, IIL.; the Water- Witeh, of Quine, 111.; 2nd the Winnebagoes, “of Rockford, Ll. 'The time was taken up to the period of gotting water from the hose. and:re- Sulted as follows: New Peorias, 1min, 13 sec.; Water-Witch, 1_min. 164 sec.; the ' Winncba- coes, 1 min, 263 sce. The remarkable eXecu~ tion of the Peoris was generally applauded. - A trial of speed in hitching was then made by ool and Ladder Company No.2, of Chicazo, four truces, two cross lines, and two.pole chaius. Daring this exhibition there was set on firc a small buildine, which was composed of " unin- flammable wood, prepared by fmmnersion in a solution of tunastate of soda, according to Dr. Joues’ method. The structure was filled with shavings and kerosene, and was set on fire and allowed to buru out. The exhibition was not a remarkable suceess, as the roof and sides soon fell in, and the structure was about as complete aruin as it Was possible to make it. B “The trial of hitchinz was wou by the Peorias in 263{ seconds for ¢! trials. ® One of the most interesting incidents ‘of the entire tournament was the of speed of the steam self-propelling engine No. 17, from West Lake street. This engive made the mile track in three mnntes one and three-quarter seconds, and was haudjed in admirable style. The ap- Dearanee of the engine coming down the truck was exciting and {uteresting.” The time, how- ever, was not vonsidered as good as the gngine could ma STEAM ENGIES. The next exhibition was_a competition be- tween steam fire engines. Each apparatus was housed 1n a separate frame building constructed for the purpose. A building was erected for each company participating, and containing a certain quantity of combustible material. When ignited o fire-alarm sigual was telegrapbed from an alarm box to each compauny. Time was taken frotn the first stroke of the rong until the ap- paratus was outside of the house. Tt was originaliy intended that the tirst company should drive aropnd the mile track and then be puc to work upon the burning buildi but this plan waggloyiated from. Toc building was allowed to Surn teuminutes, when the first company in order was put_to work upoun the fire. Sell- propelier No. 17 was given the opportunity to show its capacity, and suceeeded 1 extingulsh- ing the flames in filteen minutes. . - This was followed by two other exbibitions of the same ¢haracter. Engine No. 1, of dolict, aud the J. G. Meacham, of Racine, participated. In this tmal the wind was very strong and carricd the tlames from the burning building to one adjoining.” Tne enginks succeeded in putting out both fires in a short space of time. The smoke and flames were exceedingly deleterious to the crowd of meo and boys who insisted on getting 5o close to the builidings as to he in danger of ignition themselves. It was during_one of these trials that there ‘happened one of the awkward -accidents which took away so much from the enjoyment of ‘this, the final day of the tournament.- Dick Duone, belongine to Engine No, 17, was ordered. ‘to . approach @ burning frame buildinz, for . the..purpose of Dandling the huse more effectivelv. He did so, but getting too near tne flames caught him, and in a moment he was lying inseusible, lus bair combpletelv singed from his head, and his face dreadiuliy burned. He was removed to the Transic House, whenee he” was " taken to' his home. No. 124 West Huron street. This incident happened at a poitt where the to be very ereat, and hience it eseaped general attentiol nd the ex- Lhibition proceeded as ustal. But shortly after- ward there came a second aceident, of a most wrilling waturé, in" foll sieht of the im- mense audience. It happened this W The operations of sthe Pompier Corps. ‘were watched with great interest Dy the Jarge crowd -gssembled at the grandstand and the multi- tude in the viciuity of the central ergine-house.

The experiment Yas quite suc ful, the building being rescaed by the engine, from which only a small streat ywas discharzed. Two other two-story frame buildin: then fired, and Aurora, No. {, and Prairie Bird, of Bloomington, [, were stt to work to ex- tinguish the flames. 2 plece of hose belonging to the American Fire-Hose Mauufacturing Conipany, of Chelsea, Mass., was tested, and_the lining was ruptured at a pressure of 600 pounds. At this hour, 3:45 p. I, 8- presentation of a stand of colors was made to the Chicawo Firc Department. Thc Committed of Presentation were Acting Mayor Gilbert, }V. K. Sullivan, the Tion. Phil Hoyne, 1. F. Cléavetand, Ald, Wet- terer, E. F. C. Klokke, Dr. Danne, and C. Fel- ton. The colors were an elegant gillc flaz, gold frivged, and a biuc_sill bauner, represcuting the cofors of the Chicazo ‘Tire Department. ‘The speech: of presentationavas made by Ald. Gilbert, and responded to in 4.few fitting words by Marshal Benner. 2 ‘Self-propelling engine No.' 17 mnext went around_the mile track, making the very zood time of 2 min. 58 sce. The members of the Fire Départment present formed in procession, ngithe bauners just presented, pnd, preceded by Hand’s hand, tol- lowed by the Citizens® Committee, marched up and dowh the track In front of the grand stand amid applause [rom the spectators. “An exbibition was given of the Copelund Fire- Escape. It consists of an éndless wire rope and wire-rope ladder attached'to a carrisge run- ning on a track attached to the building under the cornice, and can be moved to any window instantly. A fireman ascended the ladder to the fourth story and attached a person to the endless rope with a strap and, clamp, aud while he was being lowered the escape was moved to another window, about fiftcen feet, and an- other was put on and lowered to the F-onnd, all being donc in one minute and_thirty seconds. This séems to be u very vractical escape, and meets with general approval, especially amone, the firewen. £ z AWARD OF PRIZES.

MiNNzZAPOLIS, Minn., Sept. 7.—President Hyzes and party reached this city at 7:30 this morning on the return from Fargo. A lizht rain was falling at the time, awakening fore- bodings as to the day, but the morning sun brought a break in the clouds, and, despite the mud, the streets were early filled with citizens unxicus to see and welcome the President. A committee of prominent citizens were in walt- ing at the depot to receive the distinguishied guests, who were escorted, amidst cheers of the people who lined the strests, to the Nicollet House, where breakfast was in waiting. After breakfast the President and Mrs. Hayes re- ceived a few personal friends, when carrlages were take, and, under the es- cort of the Mavor aund prominent citizeus, the party started for a drive about the city. They visited the Falls, inspected the great mills und other objects of interest; and at 1 o'clock cn- tered 3 THE FAIB-GROUNDS. Heredbey were received by enthusiastic cheers from.the great multitude which had already assembled in anticipation of the visit of the President. The party were driven to Agricult- ural Hall, aud, after viewing it from the gallery, wandered through it, the grand organ meantime pealing out fis notes, and again took carriages and were driven to the stock and ma- chinery depot. A grand cavaicade of half o willion dgllars’ worth of stock were ranged in the parade. The carriages were then driven ~ to the grand stand. Presi- dent Hayes and wife. Gov. Pillsbury and wife, Mayor Rand, Gen. Washburn, Attor- ney-General Devens, and Gen.. Myers entering the judges' stand.

I zathered together A FEW.FACTS AND A FEW FIGURES, which I intended to use and rcoeat at each of the places in whichTwas called uvon to add: aslmnhlf, leaving it to the moment to other things as might scom proper to suy when called upon on occasions like this. And here let me ey this: that sincercly and heartily I thunk the Governor of Minnesota and the Mayor of the City of Minncapolisand the President and efficera of this Asgoclation for the very friendly way in which they have greeted me, and I thagk this whole audience for the heartiness with which they have received sentiments, some of which, doabtlese, they do not altogether agree with.
