They count for success upon the Ro- publican strongholds, and nothing retmatne to secure ft but to Uring ant the voters. ‘They also ¢alcntate upon making heavy luroads in Demo- cratic wards, and tho: assurances and pledzes coming to headquarters every day would seem _to justify thelr expectations, Yesterday, for tn- * which failed to secure a two-thirds yots in the stance, a Democrat, who’ hos oa large number .- of mon in’ hiss employ, sent wort to the Executive Committea that he had advised his men that {t was to his Interest bt taxpayer und business man that they should gupport the Republican ticket, und ho'belleved they would doit. Another Demo- erat camo in person, and not only rledged hie support to the ticket, but told the Committes that they might draw upon him for $100 to as- sist {n defraving the Icaltimate election ex- venses.

Baydeof music will bo in attendance at each of the Meetings, ‘There was yery little change In Democratic elreles, ‘The old party ‘necks wero uLoyerlng around ARTER THE TARRED, as usnal, and fodustriously circulating silly re- ports, which sofar seem to have been thelr stock in trade, The attendance at headquarters was larger und dirtice than ever, and the quict. dissatistaction anditnaunaton, pt AUG. Ja days had ripened {ito open ‘expresalons. | Mr. Harrison. was among the motley group,and tried to appease his supplicanta with tall, but it was to no ayall, for they were bout upon eomethinr more substantial. “He disposed of the most of them, however, by referring them to the Ward Committeeinen, whom, he sald, he had scen and left the necessary adjunct to Democratic en- thuslasm, Others he referred to hls partner, IT. Weeks, who was also distributing prizes, and M1 others to Dave Thornton, who lias been ting the part of cashier. for the Clark street polley-shop or Democratic slue- show. But it could not be learned that any of the persons so referred and develved got any- thing for’ their paing, and the result was that they were .angry, ‘hey were given to under- stnid, however, tint the stamps would be dis- tributed election-days su nt nightfall they were Avis on hope, but, having been so shabbily treated, thelr emthustasm had about oozed out, and it would not be astonlshing to flud them casting an ,honest vote clectlon-day for Mr, Wright. Some of those, however, who dealt alrectly with the Executive Comwmittes mot with better luck, and WENT OFF IADPY, leavingythe othera to wonder how {t was that certaln persons and wands wero belng diserin- iuuted ngulnust. Mr. Seipp, the other wealthy candidate, nade himself scarvo the most of the day, but it wos understood that ho wos los- fue neither tlme nor opportunlty to bolster himself up at tw. expense of the reat of the tleket. It ts generally conceded that he is making war privately. on the only Irishmau on the tickbt among his German frlends, ami whon he cota ready to deny it ome of Howard's friends atund ready to prove {ton him. So the facts are that, while everyt! hing apuears smooth on the surface, there 4s underneath the greatust strife, and the indlen- ons arc thut cutting and slasning will be tho rute election-day, eapecially between Toward and Selpp, and in tho end, if Howard should find bhnsele geveral thousand votes behlnd Mr. Relpp, he need not be astonlahed. Mr. Selpp, or hia friends, are not unly underatood to be cut- ting Howard, but also Urinnell, wherever a yote can be gained au Col, Rleaby’s popularity, and, on the whole, to be maklug war on everyting und everybody that fa Democratic that he may push himself ahead of the ticker.

EMERY A, STORTS then addressed the vast crowd. Ho enid that Mr, Harrison liad deelded that the canvass was ty be conducted without the slightest discusstion of national or muntelpal politica, but with sole reference to his personal flineas for the place. Mr, Storre repudiated any such method. The thne had gone by when men wero selected merely because they wero pleasant gentlemen. He objected to Mr. Harrison toro variety of Teusons,--Lecatise he wus on earnest aud honest member of 8 party which comblued and centercd within itself all that was dangerous, demagog- teal, and demoralizing fy pulitics,—national, State, or municipal [applause]; because, for te last twenty-tive years there had been no public measureof which the Republican party was the advocate that he bad pot opposed; because he bad not advocated a single measure which the Repubtiean purty lind not opposed.

It also said that the Detmuerats had nothing to offer but the * purity of their principtes ?— was there over aconstituency that worked for smaller payt—" and the certainty of a pure and economical administration.” Should wo not dee the future by the past? Referring to ‘ungreas, Mr. Storrs sali the Southern Confed- eracy was to-aoy uot only the victor, but was rullng the conquerors, Was such a thing wit- neesed in the history of the world before?

DR. LORIMER. POSSINLE PASTOR OF THE PINST CHURCH. The regular'Friday evening prayer-meeting of the Firet Baptist Church attracted a large au- dence ast ovening, In consequence of the Presence of the Hey. George C. Lorimer, of Boston, who has received a call fram the church, and who will fo al! probability be its next pastor, Dr. Haigh presided, and the ordl- nury exercises wero bad. Dr. Lorimer then made a brief address, taking o# his subject the first nine verses of the first chapter of Joahun. Hesatd that ft often happened that when a great inan was called away, those who were left failed to sco how the position which he adorned could be fied. When such o man as Moses, an Shakspeare, or Goethe died, men wondered how their place could be supplied. They had a habit of locating a reat many of their most precious things in the past, and were apt to dwell ten- derly on the days gone by and to think with someting approaching despair of the present. Joshua wes a rough soldicr as comprred with the gifted law-glver Moses, nnd yet $t was possl- blo that the ordinary men of turable standing inightaccomplishmorethao those ofmorebrilliagt aud showy characteriatica, Gud chosedosbua, tur Hie always found Instruments for Hiswork. The lesson to be learnt was that they should not be puffed up with pride, Melanclithon begged of Luther not to expose hilmeeif te danger, but the great teformer answered that God could ralee up many Martin Luthera {fhe should fall. Jo ‘this case the time of teaislation had passed, and that for action had come, God sald to Joshua, “Now therefore arise.”” THe was not to sit mmourning over the dead Moses, but to arise nnd cross over Jordan to fulflll God's work, Gud proteiseat Jostius that as He was with Muses fe would be with Joslua and the Children of Jerael. ‘Their work in Canaan was constantly wgeressive—one long record of warfare. t owas the sume with o church, ‘They must work all the time, and not be satisfied with coming together holding. nice meetings, singing beautiful hymns, and baving a good time generally. God ‘would be with them if they did their duty and strove earnestly for His “blessing. [ie had given His promise, As L was with Moses so willl bo with thee.” Again God chose His instruments. Every man got an opportunity tn life, nud Just in pro- portion tothe way In which he did bis duty in humivle station would he prosper. God laid His hand on those who tnd learned to serve, and advanced them to bieh place, A ereat man puased away, but God would always raise up a man to fill the vacancy, ‘The lesson to be taken to heart was, tut they should strive to do their duty In the elght of God and to work for the advancement of His Kingdom, In coucluston, Dr. Lorimer expressed fn a few well-chogen words his sense of the honor con- ferred upon him by the call with which he had been favored. He did not make any formal ac- ceptance of offer, but it fs believed that be wii, [immediately upon his return to Boston and cotference with his friends there, close with the proposition made to him. ‘The leading memberg of the First Church congregation aro mast favorably impressed by the reverend gente tnou’s gopesrance,‘tnanner, and echolarship, and it Is understoad thut be ‘also is greatly pleased with Chicago, He will preach in the church Sunday morning and evenins, and Monday even ing o ‘sociable wil be held tn the lecture-room, at which Dr. Lorimer will make the acquaint- auce of the church-membera. PENTECOST. REVIVAL SERVICE LAST RVENING. Despite the unpleasantness of the weather Moody's Church was filted again last night at the revival services conducted by the Revs, Pen- tecost and Stebbins. ‘The attendance of a large number of pastors and thelr appearance on the platform was noticeable, The scrvices opened with the singing of the bymn commencing “Dye reached the land of corn and wine.’? ‘The fol- Jowing requests for prayer wero read by Mr. Pentecost: For pawer to work, by a Chriettan; for a husband, by o wife; for a Chris- flan, by himself; for a young man dylng of consumption, by a friend; for four brothers and two afsters; fora young man out of Christ; for a son, by afather; for abusband, by a wife; for o father-in-law, bya son-In-law. ‘The Rey. John Peddie then prayed for all for whom revival of spirit had been asked. , ‘The hymn beghuning, “Precious promise God hath given,” was then sung by the cholr and the congregation, and Mr. Stebbing followed with the song, Rocked to the cradte of the deep.” In culling upon Mr. Stebbins to sing that song, Mr. Pontecust took occasion to re- mark that it was originally commonly sung iu invetings far worship, but had of late been heard almost entirely upon the concert-stage. ‘Tho Rey, Mr. Pentecost announced after the song that ot 8 o'clock Sabbath morning, at Grace M. E. Church, there would be servicu, aud service at 7:30 p.m. Sunday evening at the Chicago Avenue Chureh. Nightty meetings will be held next week at the Chicayo Avenuc Church, ‘The Biblio readings of the caming week will be held in the New England Concregatlon- al Church every afternoon at 3:80 o'clock, No- tice was also given of the dally morning prayer meetings at from 8 to 8:45, at the New Eugiind Conuerieationay Church, commencing Monday morning. ‘Tho Rey, and Mra. Stebbins then anng in & touching manver the beauti(ul hymn, * Sweev- ing through the gale? ‘he Rey, Mr, Pentecost then announced bis text as the clehtcenth and nineteenth vorses of the drat chapter of the First Epistle of Peter. “The Precious Hlood of Jesus” was the central thought. ‘The speaker had been told not Jong ago thata * Blouily religiun™ bad long since ceased to be acceptable, and the man who sald that had also sald thut ho did not want to go to Heaven washed in thesblood of the Lamb. He would never wel there in any other way. The apeaker suid that the doctrine of cleansing by blood filled the Bible. Jf a person took a pen aud marked in blood cach passage that referred to cleansing by biood, he would have a very bloody looking Bible. If ho would cut those passares out he would have a very disconnected aud uninteresting and uneatisfactory Bible, Jesus portrayed the character of a slain lamb. ‘The dovtrine of the atonement by the precious blood of Jesus was the underlying omuipotont doc tring of the Christian faith, deaue’ blood was precious, Why was it procious? How was it precious? It was precious, in the first place, Aeeause It waa the blood of Christ, Bl was symbolic of life. ‘Tha slaht of it was always startling. ‘The blood of an antinal shed by the wayslde wus uot startllig, but human blood shed there would causo a shudder, What, then, should bo the feeling over the shedding of the blood of the Lamb—the blood of God Himself, It was precious, too, because of what it had cout the Father, Many people thought God could have no feclings or affection. Ile fliowelf spoke of fecling grieved, and pleased, and angered, Could ony suppose that the giving up of the Son did not cause a feeling of sorrow, even of auffer- fay, fu the Godhead?” A mother giving up her son to the army felt wrief under which she per- haps swooned and fell down, And that mother did not know to what she was giving bim up, God knew when Ee gave up Tfiy Son juat to what Ie was ulving Him. Ie knew it oll—all the sufferings of the Lamb, When the Father raised the sword and atruck the Son, there was shown & wealth of Jove which humanity could nover feel. Jesus’ bloud was azalu precious, becsuse It wus tho only nivans of man's sulyation. There wore, aot half-a-dozen ways to Ileaven, ‘There was" but one way, and no man reached Heaven but hy that way, oud thut way wus the, precious vlood shed by Jesus. How was tlic blood reclous} Rucause in Him we have redemp- Hon through Hie Pood. Because of thut blood God bud declared. Peace" to thla world of rebela, ‘Ihe loud of Jesus cleanseth frou all win. ‘The Rey. Mr. Stcbblos then sang: “Ono by One." ‘Au Invitatlon was extended to all to stay for prayer aud counsol, sod the services were closed with prayor and benediction by the Rey, Arthur Liste, — THE REVIVAL CHICAGO NUEDS “A SVINISUAL CL¥ANING OUT. Tt was announced that a mecting of laymen and pastora would be held at tha Fourth Pres- byterian Church last night, for thy purpose of encouraging and uusisting the revivallets, the Revs. Pentecost and stebbius, In the work which they have been progecuting in the North Divis- fon. That mecting took place at Graco M. E. Church instead, and was largely attended. ‘fhe Key, J, Abbott French, of the Fourth Prosby- terlan Churehy the Rev. Arthur Little and the Rev. G, 8. F. Savage, of the New England Con- eregational; the Rey. M. AM. Parkhurst, of the Clark Strect Methodist; tha Rey, E. 0. Taylor, of the Contral Baptist; the’ Rev, R. L. Sheppard, of the Grace Methodist; the Rey, Mr. Pond and the Rev, Mr, Leavitt, of the Lincoln Park Congregational, wore present with delegations of thefr influential members. The Fullerton Avenuc Presbyterian, the Grant Place Methodiet, and the Chicago Avenus Church were aleo ably and largely ropreacnted. here were in all seventy-three gentlemen pres- ent. ‘The meeting was called at 6 o'clock, nnd sup- er was served at that hour,—a'supper prepared the Fourth Preabyterian lodica and served by the Grace Methodist Jadies.—‘'a Presbyterian supper with Methodist service,"—and 5 highly enjoyed and enjoyabte supper It proved to be. After the gastranomie exercises had been aatisfactorily completed, the Rey. Arthur Litttc called the meeting to order, nnd, after a few words fn explanation of the resaun of the meet- ing, introduced the Rev. Mr. Pentecost, ‘The revivalist sald that he was glad of the privilege of meeting the pastors and Inymen, and was thankful that so many were present representing so many different churches, In the work in hand, asin all other work, every- thing depenited on a mutual understanding and common purpose. An organization with o Teadersbip was wanted, Those present were to the work what the Generals of a great host were tothe army of which they were parts and much depended upon the skill and earnestness with which they marshaled their forces, ‘The speaker and his colaborer, the Key, Mr. Stebbins, were not self-appointed evangel- {ste in the work in the North Division; not tree- passers {pn the field; had not made an Invasion of the territory. ‘They hud been invited to do what they were doing. And here the speaker read a tetter, signed by fourt of the cvangel- {eal clergy of the North Divlaion, asking the revivalists to labor in their midst. ‘The end of the second week of the unfon mectinus, the speaker continued, bad buen reached. He could say that they had been union meetings. ‘The work in the West Diviston had been sadly retarded by the Inck of unity and co-op- eration shown by the churcles aml the people there. He prayed that there might be ono such =omistukes fu the = North Division. The average attendance at the nightly meetings had been about 1,400; at the dally Bible- readings about 300; at the inquiry mectines which followed the evening services, ahout 200; and after the youn, men’s meeting of Thursday nieht, at which there were fully young men, 200 had remained for consultation, and fifteen had risen for prayers. Those figures showed the ‘plant which nad “berun to grow, and the speaker regarded tt as ono giving substantial en- vouragement Uint ought to induce the laymen to—in worldly terms—“take stock” in the inovement. ‘The speaker regarded the call of fourtecn pastors as acunclusive answer to the question: “Is arevival uecded!” ‘The history of the Chureh was the history of # fluctuatinir spiritual life, As did physical fe, so did spiritual Hfe sometimes nved a stimulant. That atinulant the sevivallats were attempting to administer to the spiritual life of the North Division wnere the speaker was forced to say, that life was In a most unsatisfactory condition. ‘This he sald without anything of ccusonousuess. ‘Therefore, special cifort should be made. This clty was ove of the great battie-srounds of the warfare between the Lord and the Devil. The theatres were open every uit in the week; the lights of saloons blazed from one end of the city Lo the other, and everywhere were visible Juring traps for unwary souls. Information bad been Imparted to the speaker which enabied bin to say that the wealthy aud religions fathers and mothers would stmost he realy to drop into thelr gravea did they but know where their sons spent thelr nights. ‘There was no force for the ruin of souls thut was not fn full tlde of power tn Chicago. A great aud sweep- {a reformation was needed, As the people of Holland turned out en masse to repair threat- ening leakaces in their dykes, so must the peo- ple of Uhicago unite and come out to do batile with the great food of sin that threatened to drown the city in a deluge of iniquity. All the churches nud ol! the people should be with one accord In one place, A hopeful alien of late years was the increasing fecling of unity and fraternity that showed itself when occasion de- tmanded. Did all the Christlan people recognize the great Iinpending ruin? Did they all recognize their responsibility? ‘The inylting of Pentecost to preach for a ecasou ut this church or that, and the preaching of Pentecost and the singing of Stebbins, would not in ttself avail of any- thing. What was wanted was the work ond hearty co-operation of the laymen and the union of pastors nnd peopte. All persons could make these revival-tnectinge subjects of prayer, That, prayer, [f carnestly mnade, could not fail to en- tail an increased ‘interest, Going to meeting was one thing, und gvingto meeting with a prayer upon the Hips nid a purpose in the heart was another, All could talk apout the mectinge to thelr friends and acquaintances, and work to- ward bringin in people to those meetings, ‘The speaker could not preach und Mr, Stebbins could not sing without power from un high und eym- pathy from on earth. ‘The Rey. E. O. ‘Taylor expressed 2 hearty tu- terest in the meetings, and had urged his people toattend. Tie spoke of and urged the impor- tance of co-operation in the inquiry meetings. ‘Tho Rev. d. Abbott French anid that they must recornize the fact that the North Side, lald waste by the fire, was budding up,—was In the formative state, religiously as well as materinl- jy. ‘The people were not thoroughly acquninted with each other. One’s next-loor neighbors might be infidels, and one might be ignorant of thatfact, The side-streets of the great thor. oughfares were flied with boarding-houses, aud those houses with young men growing up, de- veloping with: the city. They were to be the citizens aud voters of the celty. ‘They needed caro and attention, = Thera was not much union between the people of this city, mud the speaker had never before seen Bo much oxclusivencss among the churches, ‘They were so much wrapped up Inthelr own intercats unl heeded go Hetle the welfare of thelr neighbors that they would not even shake hands over the fences which sepn- rated them. They did not even haye enough of feeling to create a jealousy among themselves, “hey never touched each other. He honed that the mnecting of the laymen and pastors would not only tend to advance the present work of revival, Cuvestabtish a feeling of oneness and fraternity botiyeen the churches represented, dudgo E, 8. Willams, of the Fourth Presby- terlan Chucch, pressed the matter of daily union prayer-tacetiuge from 8 to 8:45 a.m. ‘The busi+ ess men could find time to attend and be re- freshed by a draft from Siloam’s weil, He thought that these mectings would be pro- duetive of much individual and collective guad. ‘tho Rev, M. M. Parkburst sald thut the pres- ent opportunity to grapple with the feellug of revival was one that shoutd bo improved. ‘The secd sown by the Muody revival had sprung up, and the harvest depended solely upon the reap: ers. Ho hoped that the pastors and people of the differont churches would gather around Mr, Pentecost, and lend bim the support of thelr presence and their prayers. ‘The mectings were taal meetings, and all should regard them us elr own. The Roy. Mr. Leavitt, of the Lincoln Park Congrevational Church, geld that ‘the present tino wasa good one to battle withthe rising apirlt of Infidelity. Judgo Williams then moved that daily unlon prayer-meotings bo held from 8 to 8:45 a. m.. commencing Monday, at the New England Church. ‘The motion wag carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then tendered to the Jadies of the Fourth Presbyterian and tho (race Methodist. Church for their hospitality and kind- nesa,and the mecting adjourned, after prayer by Mr. B, Dougtoss, with the alnging of the hymn commencing, "Blost bo the tio tut binds our hearts in Christian love,” and the benediction, pronouuced by Mr. Pentecost.
