PARWELL HALL JAMMED.‘ Any one who had casually dropped into Fare well Hall last evening would bave come to the conclusion that the Republican party in the City of Chicago was never less dead or sleeping than it is at present, or more wide-awake and conti- dent of the victory that lies within its grasp. In numbers, in intelligence, in the array of ora- torical talent presented, in enthusiasm, and, in short, in everything that goes to make up 2 suc- cessful maass-meeting, ff was ahead of anything: of the kind during the present campaign. ‘Among the prominent people on the platform were Leonard Swett, Emery A. Storrs, EWiott Anthony, A. M. Jones, Charles H. Reed, Rich- ara S. Tuthill, E. #. Allen, Col. Abnes Taylor, ‘William E. Mason, R. W. Dyball, Willard Wood- ard, and others. ‘The meeting was called to order shortly after Bo'clock by Elliott Anthony, who briefly, an- nounced that the first’ speaker of the evening would be the next Siayor of Chicago, . Ae M. WRIGHT, whom he had the pleasure of introducing. Mr. Wright was received with enthusiasm, and plunged at once and briefly into the main points of the local situation. It had beenasked, with good reason, he said, why there was a de- sire to taro, over this City Government toa Democratic Administration? New York had had its experience with Democratic Administra tions,—an experience more costly to her than the fire was to Chicago., Did the latter city wish to follow in the footéteps of New York? it was one of the greatest glories of the tate Republican Administration here that taxation had been kept within the constitutional Nmit, and the city bas prospered. The advent ‘of Democracy mesnt a recurrence of the old Col- yin regime of beavy taxation, for n0 man, how- ever good, could rise above the average of the crowd of Democratic hangers-on who were so anxious for a change in tne City Government. ‘Then there was auotherissue,—the national one. ‘The people were asked to indorse Mr. Harrizon’s. course in the incipient rebellion against this Government in refusing it supplies, and the question was, Were the people of Chicago pre- pared to surrender the City Administration to the control of the Democracy, atid at the same time to indorse the course ol its standard-bearer in Congress? [Applause and cries of * No.”} Owing to Mr. Wright’s other engagements he was necesgarily briefin what ne had to say, althongb he managed to cover the ground most thoroughly and to the very evident satisfaction of his hearers. ‘After an inspiriting sone by the Lombard Glee Club, the Chairman introduced as the next speaker the man who had been the friend and adviser of Abraham Lincoln, the man to whom he had always turned for counsel,—the Hon, Leonard Swett. [Applause.] LEONARD SWETT. A REVIBW OF THE ELECTION LAWS. ‘Mr. Swett then spoke as follows: Mr. PRESIDENT AND GENTLEMEN: Every 006 concedes the last Presidential election to have been a political disgrace. Whatever doubtsmay be entertained as to the title of President Hayes, whatever may be thought as to the pro- priety of counting out the bulldozed precincts of Louisiana, or’ whatever may be’ said of the cipher dispatcbes, I have never heard any one question but that the state of-facts presented was disgraceful and ought not to be repeated. "Therefore, if there is any subject upon which which all'good citizens should agree, it should be upon the preservation and thorough enforce- ment of all such laws as will prevent intimida- tion and frauds at the polls, and give us in 1880 a quiet ‘and fair election. Our Government is based upon the theory of the choice of the in- telligent majority in reference to issucs and principles presented at the polls, and the mo- ment force or fraud is substituted for such choice, that moment our form of govern- ment, instead of the best, becomes the worst. Notwithstanding these facts and conclusions, we find that the last House of Representatives, which was Democratic, insisted upon attaching to the Appropriation bills, without which the Gov- ernmentcannot becarried on, arepeal of the only Jaw now in force for the prevention of frauds at the elections, and because the Senate, which was then Kepublican, would not assent to such repeal, no appropriations were passed, and the new Congress now in sesston was c1nvened. ‘This new Congress is Democratic, both in the Senate und in the Hause, and by dispatches from Washington we are informed that the Democrats in both pranches have determined to attach again the repeal of the Election laws to the Appropriation laws, and the Republicans bave determined in every manner in their power to oppose such repeal, and it the act is passed fn that form the President has de- termined to veto it. Therefore, the Gov- ernment scems to have come to a dead lock, and the Election law fs the pivot on which the Keeping up of the army und navy, the courts, the mail-service, and all the other ma- chinery, depends. The sharp turn this question. has taken, and the momentous issues itinvolves, ought tostimulate the most rigid inquiry into the real truth of this matter, and 1 therefore propose to give youa history of the Election Jaw, together with a plain statement of its pro- yislons, and, applying the history’ of our own
