POLITICS AT HOME. A Comparison of the Tickets that Should Be Read by Voters. Harrison’s Proposed Reorganiza- tion of the Police and Fire Departments, Sonsible Words to the Irish Voters by .. “The Pilot,” of This City. Wows and Gossip of Headquarters Yesterday—Announcdments, Declinations, Hto, TOWN TICKETS. YHPORTANCH OF ELECTING THE NRPUBLICAN NOMINEES. The Intcreat and the excitement of the present political contest, which closes to-morrow even- ing, bave bees centered to such an extent on the clty ticket, Mayorand Treasurer, that people have Jost sight gonerally of the coutest fur town olflcera,—-a strife whicn isin some respects of almost equal importance, sinco upon the cle ion of competent individuals to perform the Gutles of these minor offices deponds the asecas- mont upon which the levy of city and other taxes is made. It tsa matter of prime impor- tanco that the persons who are olected Asscasors in the three towns ombraced within the Hmits of this city should be qualified for the positions, and {t Is almost equally mportant that those clected for Collectors should possess the sterling honesty nnd cavacity which hare Aistineulshed thoso elected In late yegrs by the Republican party. The difference between $00,- 000, which the administration of mon Uke Evans cost, und that of $10,000, Ike that which the ad- ministration of mon like Ayers cost, {s certatnl worth saving, The Asscesor chosen {n the Sout! Town last year was a Democrat, His asscesmont. was 80 cnormously high that it met with the disapproval of every taxpayer und of every real- estate oxocrt. It had to be cut down a half ina great part of the South Town, and over a halfin aome sections. One of the Deouty Asneasors ‘Was arrested for attempting to blackmail mer- chants, and it was strongly intimated that others were cogaged in the samo busines: thongh, being lesa clumsy in it, they succeeder in covaping detection, ‘The assesement on tha North Side, mado by a Republican officer, was unobjectionable. Againat that on the West Blue, made bya Democrat, there were com- plaints. Since a legitimate asacss:nent les at ‘the basis of our entire tinanclal system, it {s cs- sential that the men chosen to male ib shoutd be honest and competent,—such men aa the Ro- publican party has thls time put in the field. On the South Side they have nominated Mr, Frank ‘Drake for Asacaeor, & man of integrity and abil- ity, who has associated with bim on the ticket such men ns J, 11. Rees for Collector, who will lend his experience to Mr. Drake; Mr. W. R. Page, a well-known lawyer, for Supervisor; and Mr. Charles Schoreck, the present ineumbent,for Town Clerk. On the West Side Pleasant Amick has been put up for Assessor, He has ‘been in tie business for early twenty years, is thoroughly acquainted with avery plece of prop- erty on the West Bide and sith most of the realdents, and is one of the best men thatcould have been selected for that fuportant position, Tits agsucintes, Messra, Olesen, Jolin Meyer, and ‘Thomns Parker, aro well known, und will give ene¢ral satisfaction. On the North Side, Arthur eason, the candidate for Aasessor, has been in the County Clerk’s office for mony years, and has been Chief Deputy Assessor in the North Town Asscasor’s oftice,—positions which hayo familiarized him thoroughly with the duties which he will have to perform if clected, Mr. Battcerman, the candidate for Collector, has been inthe County Collector's office for years, and understands his business, All of these men are compotent, are honest, aud are pledged to pursue the economical policy which the Republicans have inaugurated in the man- Rgement of town atfaira, ‘he anuual town meetings will be held at 9 o'clock Tucsday afternoon,—the North Side one at Turner-Hall, the South Side one at Wabash avenuo and Twenty-second street, ond the West Sido one at Mudison and Elizabeth streote, It 4s to be hoped that thero will bea Jarge attend- auco of electors, and that they will be unani- mously in favor of low appropriations. On the “South Side there {fs aufilcient money in band fromthe per cent on city collectlons, to_saye the necessity of appropriating an: thing. On the West Side, af) that really is to be done js to vote what fs nec- essary for the payment of the interest on the park boude, and provide for the expenses of the Collector's and Asacssor’s officcs, On the North Side, a small appropriation for the cur- rent exporacs fg all that 's needed, CARTER’S PROGRAMME, WUAT IT 18 SAID TO DE. The statement mado in Tu ‘Trmune fio other day to tho effect that, in case of Mr. Mar. rison’s succcas, Frank Agnew would becomo Chief of Polico before July, bas received addi- tional confirmation from many sources. There {sno quostion of {ts truth. A gentleman thor- oughly ‘familiar with tho subject stated yea- terday that, while ic could not bo sald that Mr. Harrison had mado o direct pledge that ho would appoint Agnow, yet the equivalent of a pledge had been made, and that it was definitely acttlcd that Agnew was to co in, fhe people surrounding aud running Mr, Harrison, the peoplo whose mouthpiece and cata-paw he was, had made this and other promises, and they would bo sulfilied if oppor- tunity offered. ‘The police forca was to be re- organized In cage of Mr. Harrison's success, and tobo turned into s polltical machina for the benefit of the Democrats this fall, and at next year’s Presidential election, Of that there was ho question, It might ho that Supt, Seavey would bo retained in bis position, but, if so, then the ofllee of City Marshal, once create for» Mr. Dunlap, would be re-created, and Frank Agnew, would bo ulyen that position, which would carry with it the control of the police force, It Mr. Seavoy proved abstinat, and unwilling to obey the political orders of his superior officer, then he would be removed, ‘The Fire Department 1s also, {o cage of Afr. Harrleon’s success, to undergo the samo process of reorganization, Marshal Benner will bo re- tained on the force, but no longer in the posi- ton which ho now occuples, He will bo dropped from the head, and some politician will be uinped over him. fo will be expected, as ‘irst Agsistant Marshal, to do the work of the Deportmout, while an ornamental snperior will ve thut the flremon aro zealous in their duty at ward mectinys, that they voto the Democratic ticket as often as possiblo, and are zealous bum- mers for thw benellt of the Democratic faith. ‘These Inevitable results of a Democratic vic tory, this tampering with the Police and Fire DojArtments, the two most Important branches of the City Government, ought to open the eyes Of business-men to the gravity of the present crisis. Indeud, if¢Mr. Harrison were to como Into ofica utterly unpledged, if he were not in the hands of other men, abler than himself, who bave objects which they wish to accomplish fu the future by Democratiatny the City Govern- ment, he would still bo unable to resist the enormous and intolerable pressure of the hun- sry Domocratic mob which would pour in upon him from olf quarters the moment he was ine Stulled in otllce, A little converaation which took place yes- erday not very tor from thw Damoeratic Headquarters fiustrates the feellng of the Democratic masses. “I seo tt stated,” sald one Democrat tonnother, “that Harrison feu" going to remove tho heads of departmouts in case ho gets in.” “If he don’t,” said the other—" if ho don’t clean out every man around the City-ffall lean down to janitor, then I shall never yoto for Carter Harrison again. 1 vote for him with the understanding that, If be gets electud, he is going to clean out the entire Republican gang fron top to bottom, down to janitor, If hu don't do that, then no more votes for lim from me.” ‘These words expross the unanimous feal- ing of the Clticayo Democratic party, and are fodicative of a pressure which would bo brought. to bear, and which Afr, Harrison could not reslat, YESTENDAY’S DOINGS, ‘THY HAADQUARTBUS. ‘There was alull alter tho storm yesterday in political circles, and many of the workers suemed to bo taking a rest for to-day.
