He didn’t want any of them to come out with a. card in the newspapers and say that he was. not for. Blaine. ? ‘3Mr. Hough said that great pains had been taken in selecting the names so that no mis- takes were made. The Chairman said the object of the Club. was to promote the nomination of 2 man’ who commended himself to the hearts of the: American people, and’ who, they believed,’ would awaken more enthusiasm as a stand- ard-bearer than anyother man. {Applause.] They had ¢ NO FAULT TO FIND with any other candidate, but they said that in their, opinion James G. Blaine stood at the ‘hed of American statesmen. [Ap- plause.| And the people of America might - feel grateful that when the time came there would be at the head -of this Government a statesman of his ability—a man upon whom they could rely on all ocea-. sions. [Applause.] There was much work to be done. They had no machine. From the best information that he could ob- tain, and from a half a dozen letters that he received daily from, different portions of the State, he was satisfied that three-fourths of, the Republicans of Ulinois were for James G. Blaine. [Applause.] If the people of Illi- nois were to be put down,—if they were not to have an opportunity .to express their wishes,—they might as well surrender the party. At the meeting neld the other day at the Grand Pacific no effort was made by the friends of Blaine to crowd their views for- ward. Being modest, they didn’t think that that was the place to do it. If the meeting had been called for the purpose of nominating a. President a very lively lot of young men would have been seen there. He could not say that some oi the friends of the other candidates were equally modest. One of them was sometimes a Republican and sometimes not,—was like the State of Kentucky durin; the Rebellion, which tilled her quota in both armies; who was President of a Bristow Club four years ago, and was now 2 friend of Grant, and admitted that he was not a Repub- lican all the time. It looked as if some were afraid that gentlemen who might say some- thing for Blaine would be crowded out. He was grateful to the Chairman (Long Jones) who. for the first time in the: histo of the party, assuined the responsibil- ity of being Chairman without the! consent of. the people, contrary to the precedent ot fourteen years. But the speaker didn’t care about triffes. He was very grateful, after the West Side representa- tive (Dick Tuthill) had exhausted all the time that the Chairman of the State Central Committee so graciously donated, that the Chairman was willing to give friend Wood- ard three minutes. He was very glad that the invitatio was declined. He thought the names reported by the Committee were those of excellent, earnest men, embracing some of the best businessmen of the city. If he kuew anything of the character and standing of men and their views and wishes, the best business-men of this city were in favor of James G. Blaine. [Applause.] CHARLES J, SUSDELL, . being called on, said that, as an independent citizen entirely untramweled by shackles of political partisanship, and -machines, and machinations, but imbued with the motives and prineiples which called the Republican party. into existence, having taken some ‘in- terest in its welfare and progress, he desired very much to see the Republicans put for- ward their very best man for President. In his humble opinion the most acceptable one, so far as he could find out, was the Senator from Maine,—the man of the people,— James G. Blaine [applause], whom he had Jearned to admire very much. He had great respect for Gen. Grant asa_military leader, but was entirely opposed to a third term, an a repetition of his second term in many par- ticulars. {a plause.] For the silver-haired diplomat in Paris during the Commune, he entertained the highest regards, but could not, likeso many of_his German friends, inake him an object of adoration for having aulfilled his duty while in Congress by watch- ing attempted steals from the Treasury, or sehtle st lis post, in France basked, as he ~vas, in instances, especi in_ the I by the powerful Government and rian people of the United States. ‘fhe speaker wanted no idols, put a man of_ real ability, and he “found him in Blaine, As Presidential’ timber Blaine should be taken up and used. The speaker had been toeniy seven years in Chi- cago, and, as a Swedish ublican, he spoke the sentiments of more than four-fifths of his countrymen when_ he, in their name and his own, declared for James G. Blaine. [Ap- plause.] : : ‘WILLARD WOODARD spoke next. He understood that it was said by the gentleman who represented the Sec- ond District [Tuthill] at the Central Commit- tee meee, t all of the intelligent Repub- licans of the West Side were for Gen: Grant. [A voice, “ Didn’t know what he was talkin: about.” Laughter.]. The speaker had lived. in that section for twenty-four years, and had some acquaintance with its people and its leading men, and he was afraid that, ‘¥ the gentleman’had denounced as men in- yapable of dudeing all those. who were for Blaine, he denounced the bone-and sinew of she Republican party of the West.Side. [Ap- plause, and cries of “True.”] He did not know that they were represented at all in the ational offices, but he did know that there was an abundance of men on the West.

When so many West Side Repub-- licans supported Greeley afew years aRO they did it under the conviction that Grant wag surrounded at that; time by a body. ‘of men who could not be trusted.

The |. sentimentin the East was changing, too, inhis favor.. The Germans in the West would not talk .about Grant, .A Jaree portion. of the Germans were in favor of Washburne, but they would vote for Blaine,—not for under any circumstances.: Blaine was the style of man the people liked, since he would enforce the Jaw, and see that every man was,protected in, his rights, North and South, East and West, no matter who he was. “MR.

[Applause.] When a candidate possessed these qualities, so Teq- uisite for American Statesmauship and lead- ership, he did not know that he should stand still and not refer to the character and his- tory of a man who, ize believed, had the con- fidence of the party, and whose leadership he would follow e went alone. [Ap- plause.] . COL. A. N. WATERMAN,: being called on,’said he yielded to no man in his respect and admiration for Gen. Grant. Tie had servéd his country nobly and well in the. past,. afjd, if need be, would serve it nobly andf-well in the future in that; field in which the enemies of his country had found him ever victorious. [Applause.] The } peril of the present hour was not the march- | ing pf a mighty host seeking. the Capital. The foe we have to contend with sat en- | throned dominant in the halls of the Na- tional Legislature. By murder, rapine, bloodshed, and_ political assasination the Democracy had obtained control of Con- gress, and sought to-day by means of law- making in Washington, and the utter defi- ance and disregard of law in the Carolinas, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas, to undo all. the work that had been done so well for freedom and for the rights and equality of all men. There was need at the present time not of a great military chieftain, but of a great states- man. [Applause.]_ We wanted a man who had met the foe in the field of their last, choice, who had defied .them. there, and who would understand, when in jhe Presidential chair, how to throttle tre: J and fraud, and corruption, and crime in isiana and“Mis- sissippi as calmly, and as*peacefully, and as completely under the forms of law as James Blaine had in the State of Maine. ‘They wanted fora candidate a man whose course was straight- forward and manly, to oppose to the sagacity of Tilden; a man whose career was like that of the eagle instead of the trail of the ser- pent; aman whose utterances were expressed in open and defiant words, instead of double- dealing and cipher dispatches [applause] ; and a man, the utterances of whose relatives, if they should say anything upon political af- fairs, would atieast be the indignant and fierce Gale of an aunt, ratherthan the double- dealing sutirages of a nephew Pelton. fApplause.] Such aman they found, they lieved, in James G. Blaine. ‘They wanted a strong man,—strong in his knowledge of all that pertains to legislation; strong in his understanding of all the impulses that moved men to action; strong in his acquaint- ance with statecraft; strong in the hearts of the people; andsuch a man was James G. Blaine. Me 3M. KIRK IAWES then addressed the Club. He supposed the object of the organization was to secure the nomination of Mr. Blaine, and apprehended that it was quite unnecessary for him to make a speech in his behalf, or undertake to convince those present that he was the man who ought to be nominated. Up. to within two weeks he had felt that the Grant Loom was pretty strong, and that the chances were against them; buthe had had occasion to change his mind, and he now thought if they seized the opportunities they would be suc- eessful in their undertaking. A fort- unate circumstance was the postponing the State Convention until the 19th of May, thereby giving them ample time to organize. Seventeen or eighteen States would hold. their Conventions before that day, so thatiby the.time Illinois was called upon to act-ine question of candidacy would have been very nearly decided. He doubted very moh whether any arrangement had been made to deliver this State to Grant. From what he had_ read, and. seen, and a James G, Blaine was the strongest man. Washburne, had a great many friends, an the speaker was free to say that he was ac- ceptable to him, though he didn’t see how any friend of Washburne could do anything for him under existing circumstances. He was, therefore, heartily in favor of the nom- |i ination of Mr. Blaine, and it depended upon his friends here whether_he had a solid dele- tion here or not. Work had to be done in ie wards. Speeches wouldn’t do any good. He thought it would be a_ mistake to fon Blaine clubs in the wards. The work should be done inside the clubs already ex- isting. If he understood. the si Blaine and against a third term.- In this State, where the people had _a full and fair opportunity to express their views, they.were ungualifiedly opposed to a third term. In New York and . Pennsylvania, where resolu- tions had been- passed in opposition to a man being President a third time, the sentiments of the. people had not changed; some of the machine politicians had stified their voice. The unwritten law of the land was against a third term, and the effort to force any inan upon the people for a third time-was the work of those who wanted the plunder. Therefore he was opposed toa third term and any man who wanted a third term, and proposed _ to be so up to the nomi- nation, but he would vote for Grant if nomi- nated, preferring-a Republican to any man the Democracy could ‘put up. © He ‘didn’t think the recent meeting at the .Grand Pacific indicated anything one way or the other. In conclusion, he urged ‘ work, work for Blaine.” . : , . MR. ANDREW CRAWFORD. said he had heard much noise, and that the “boom” when Gen. Grant returned to this country was not an accident; there was in- telligence behind it,—the same men, some said, that ran him during his Administration. He did not wish to belittle Gen. Grant. He admired him as a genius in his military ca- pacity, but there «were some things abont him he could not admire, re hadn't those, elements which went to make a President: He was — very unfortunate in the selection of men who sur- .| Saturday night at the same place.

F * It is not proposed by the Committee to transfer the control of the Indians to the War Department, but the Dill will largely divest the Interior Department of, discretionary power in regard to the Indians by placing them individually under the control of the country’s, neral laws.

THE PONCAS. é The Special Committee inquiring into the matter of the removal of the Poneas to the Indian Territory, and: into the declarations of the Poncas that they never signed the paper asking to be removed into the Indian Terri- tory, were informed by Bright-Eyes that the Poneas, knowing nothing of the white men’s geography, were at the time of Signing the document utterly ignorant of the location or even the existence of the Indian Territory; that Morgan, the interpreter, was an Omaha Indian, equally ignorant upon that subject; that neither he nor. the Poncas had any word in their language corresponding to the. ‘ word territory, and could only speak of it in their language as “ the Indians’ country” or reservation; that when Morgan asked them as to their willingness to 1emove to the In- dians’ country or reservation they_under- stood him to mean the reservation of Indians with whom for years they had been talking of uniting their fortunes, the Omahas. They therefore signed a document which they supposed to bea petition for. removal to the Omaha Reservation,-,but which was really a petition for removal fo the Indian Territory. Afterwards they made a treaty of peace with the Sioux, and feconsidered that action, de- ciding to remain ‘on.their_own reserve, and did 3 until they were forcibly removed. STAR ROUTES. THE SENATE COMMITTEE'S INVESTIGATION. Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, Wasnineroy, D: C., Feb. 28.—Senators Wallace, Beck, and “Booth, the Sub-Commit- | tee of the Appropriations Potumittes charged with ‘the ‘consideration. of the House bill ap- propriating for the’ star_service deficiency; held. a: meeting to-day. _Postmaster-General Key and Assistant Postmaster-General Brady. appeared before them and argued in behalf of the appropriation made by-thé House, in- sisting that-the: Department, had not recom- mended the appropriation of too.large a. sum. for the proper conduct of the service. ‘They, .ask - now) that,” the appropria-. tion be increased to- $1,700,000, and that the ‘restrictions: on the- expedited routes be removed. The Department -at* first asked for an. appropriation of $2,000,000, but $800,000 of this was'asked for putting on ad~ ditional service during the-remainder of the fiscal year. With: the Postmaster-General was Monroe Salisfury, thé largest Western mail, contractor, who stated that the bill as passed by the House would ae 2 “RUIN Hsp, FINANCIALLY. : He also had a statement showing how. much less thd star servicdnos costa, mile by mile, than it did under Pgstmaster-General Jewell. “All three complained pitterly that they had not been fairly“‘treated. - by the House Committee;. . that, they liad insisted on jthe privilege of furnishing evidence; ithat the case“against thear had ‘been made from - corrupt~ -motives. - They further -charged that the pill had passed the House “by undue influences; - The Sub-Committee is said to be inclined to give the Department and the edntraetors a hearing’ on. the chargers they have made, The statement will be pre-, sented and ‘ready for the full, Committee when it meets to consider the case on Mon- day. As the charges of.corruption in the ex- pediting and extension of routes have been made against Gen. Brady, it is interesting to note that the Fort Worth route, the expe- diting of which was’ largely the cause of the investigation of the: Department, was made by Postmaster-General Key himself. ‘THE SUGAR INTEREST. “ARGUMENT AGAINST .TARIFF REDUCTION. Spectat Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune. Wasmneron, D, O., Feb..28.—The. sugar- men are again hopeful that Congress will speedily decide on reformed tariff measures affecting their business.: The Ways and Means Committee have:the question - under discussion, with the probabilities of a report in favor of lower rates of duty. But this ac- tion does not bind, or searcely influence, the Tlouse of Representatives, much .less the Senate. It will be recollected that the ques- tion came fairly before the House last Feb- ruary, but the ‘prospects of ‘an intermina- ble- discussion were so certain’ that Speaker Randall announced he, would recognize any member who would move to lay the whole subject on the table,.a hint which was promptly taken. The Louisiana sugar interest is a troublesome factor in the movement to reduce the duty, because mem- bers from that State want the tarlff'to re- main as it is. They say sugar is the only Southern interest protected by the present tariff, and if you reduce the duty on the ar- ticles which Planters use in producing it, in- eluding machinery, this would inevitably involve a general revision of the tariff laws, and this, they say, is impracticable because every State nearly has some articles'which it wants protected. 4 PINCHBACK. 1 A GRAVE CHARGE. ° Spectat Dispatch to- The Chicago Tribune, Wasurvorton, D. C., Feb. 28.—The Demo- crats will make a-very bitter contest over the confirmation of Pinchback as Naval Officer, and will probably reject him. The New York World says that it has been charged without denial that. while acting as Lieutenant-Gov- ernor, Pinchback would not sign a bill to fund the city debt until he was paid a bonus. The bill had been passed by both Houses of the Legislature, had been signed by the Speaker of the House, and required the signature: of Pinchback as President of the Senate. Although a ministerial duty, Pinchhack, it is said, refused to per- form it until he bad been paid a price fixed at $2,500, There was necessity for haste in making the bill a law, as a large part of the debt it proposed to fund was‘due to street laborers’and others, who were clamoring for their money. Rather than have any trouble about the matter, the City Council appro- riated the $2,500 \n order to pay that sum for his signature. This barefaced .transac- tion was known to many at the time, and_at least two. Republican officials of Louisiana sver their willingness to swear to the facts upon demand, The records of the City Connci will, it is said, show that the appropriation of $2,500 was‘ regularly made to pay “legal fees necessary to secur- ing the passage of tite Dill.” ~~ : FITZ JOHN PORTER.

The Striking .Fever Is Spreading Throughout the East—Indications of a Strike in All Branches of Manufact- uring. . Svectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune, New Yong, Feb. 28.—The striking fever seems to be spreading throughout this sec- tion of thecountry. From all manufactur- ing cities reports are coming in that the work-- men are organizing to demand higher wages, and -threaten to quit work at onceif their: demands are not acceded to. The spinners, at Cohoes have struck, and no less than 10,000 are now in enforced idleness. At ‘Troy alarge number of iron-workers have’ quit work and are very turbulent. Sevéral “assaults on employers have been made. In Brooklyn the tailors will organize to- morrow to agree, upon the, percent- age to be asked. In this. city a number of newstrikes will probably be added. next week to the already existing ones. . The plasterers and modelmakers wil! make de- mands for higher ‘wages, agreed ‘upon last week, as also the house-painters. It is likely the carpenters will also fall in line, and there 4 are conferences among the cigarmakers: The consequence of all these strikes will evident- ly be agreat advance in prices for all com- modities, Mr. Herrmann yesterday closed all his factories in the country, ‘ Four hun- dred. and seventy-six of _ my. men are “now on the strike,” said he, “and 1,067 had to. discontinue work because I could not allow them to accumulate ma- terial.
