Probable Adoption: of the Consti+ tutional Amendments. in Indiana. The Result All, Around in Favor of the Republicans as a Rule. CHICAGO. YESTERDAY'S ELECTION. THE RESULT. The election held yesterday for town of- ficers and Alderinen was decidedly favorable to the Republicans, though not as sweeping- ly.so, or by as large majorities, as it would have been with 8 warmer canvass ando fuller vote. In some ofthe wards, like the Eleventh, there was nothing to bring out the Republicans, while in many the Democrats had a number of candidates for Aldermanic honors, ‘which served to swell thelr voto on- the town tickets, Of the Alderinen, ten were elected by the Republicans, five by the Democrats, two by the Communists, and one as un Independent. The Republicans carried the South Town outand out, electing their entire excellent tleket—Farwell for Collector, Drake for Assessor, Bacon for Supervisor,-and Moore for Town Clerk. On the North -Side the Demoernts won by a small majority, electing Niesen Collector, Chase Assessor, Stanton Supervisor, and Smith Clerk, On the West. Side, Amick, Republican, was elected Agses- sor bya lures nujority. Schitlo, Republican, is elected Collectors, there being one Demo- cratic precinct which will not be counted until this morning, but which willnot change the result, and Nordhem and Graves, Re- pubileans, arochosen Supervisor and Clerk by good round majorities, THE VOTING. THE TOWN AND ALDERMANIO ELECTIONS passed off yesterday very quietly. . ‘The day was by no means such a one as was Inspiring to the voter to induco him to pass a couple of hours standing In line awaiting his turn for the opportunity to cast his ballot. The weather was decidedly uncheerful. In the early morning the sun shed its mellow rays, but by the thne that the polls opened —8 o’clock—the sky had become over east = «owith dark and threatening clouds, which were * oceastonally broken by rifts of sunshine, Tho air was decidedly damp and chilly, and if was weather much more suitable to March than April, In the afternoon it threatened rain, and several times old J. P, made an attempt to open the clouds, but the drops of rain that fell wero few Indeed, Then cane a storin of wind and dust, followed by a little more rain and some snow, and thon there came an earnest and honest hailstorm, which only lasted a short time, however, Notwithstandlug this, thoro was a fair yote polled. ‘There was BUT LITILE DISTURNANCE OM EXCITEMENT anywhere. Inthe First and Second Wards there was 9 large amount of Illegal voting done, Especially was this the casein the Second Preelnet of the First Ward, where, it Is alleged, 189 legal ballots were cast for De. Wickersham, Mike McDonald and Joe Mackin engineered this poll, and thoy ran it witha high hand, They vouched for auy and every oman = who expressed on desire, toyota the omocratic Ucket. "Every obstacle was thrown in the way of Republican voters. ‘Che two Democratic Judges acted as such Demo- eratle satellites “usually do, In the Seequid Ward, Mike Sanders acted as the Captaln- General for lils brother Pat, who was elected: Alderman, Here the election judges mado blank aitidavits “ond deputized clurks to swear thom, und thoy themselves were not sworn in until ofter the polls closed. ‘The dofeat of Mr. Billings in tho Second Ward is largely due to the apathy of the Ropublicnns and Hexpayers of tho ward, in the Fourth Ward, Watkins, the Independ- ent Republican candidate, takes the Aldor- munis cake as ogaingt Ald.

THE WEST TOWN MEETING was held at the customary hour at the livery stable, No, 462 Madison stgeet, there being about thirty voters present. Clerk Chindek ealled the gathering to or- der, and, on motion of Mr. James Taylor, Judge Rogers was chosen Moderator, Supervisor Ward then rend his report. He congratulated the taxpayers on the con- dition of the finauces of the town. Never before, at least for many years, lad West Chicago been able to. carry on its business without borrowing money. Last year (1878), his predecessor had been obliged to obtain a Joan of $10,000, and the Supervisor before him one of a much larger amount, In order to pay the Interest coupons, due in July, on town, bonds, and to meet the expenses of tho assessment. New life and activity In busIness cfreles had produced marked Influence uvon the taxpayers and property-owners, Prompt payment of taxes for 1878 was the rule, wherens in other years it was the exception. The result was the fill- ing of the Town Treasury, and obviating the necessity for borrowing even a dollar, ‘The interest due in July and January was $4,900, payable, $22,400 on the Ist of each month, The average cost of the assessment was $0,500, Within tho past year the West Chicago Park bonds, bearing 8 per cent interest, had been refunded, and 5 per cent bonds issued, which were sold at par, thus saving an annual interest on $300,000 of $0,000, ‘These bonds ran for twenty years, but were subject tobe called in and canceled at any time when sufleient money was in the hands of the Treasurer of 1] Park Board to take them up. ‘The one-half mill tax imposed un- der the original Park act would be applied to retiring these bonds, so that within the time they mature they will be. provided for. The’ 7 per cent bonds now borne by the town ‘tlrectly, and under the supervision of the authoritles, which expires in 1891, amutint to $640,000, the annual in- terest belng $44,800, He advised that steps be taken at an early day to retire these bonds by Issulng 5 per cents, as In the case of the. 8s. The saving—S12,800 1 year—would be enough to pay the cost of the assessment and all other expenses of the town excepting those of the Collector's office. If this did not seem advisable, he recommended that the Supervisors and town authorities be In- structed to take up outstanding bonds with the funds in the Treasury over und above the amount necessary to meet town expenses. In this way “several hundreds?’ might be retired before the bonds fall due, thus re- quiring a smaller Issue af new bonds in 1891. That thls was practicable appeared to this, fact: The amount in the hands of the Supervisor increases yearly, Ilis _ predecessor turned. over him $18,130,065; and he had now $30,247.82, This course, therefore, would not only be a saving one, but policy demanded that It should be carricl out, The sults against the ex-Collectors for the 3 per cent were still unsettled. During the; lnst term of Court Judge Rogers, in passing | onaquestion upon demurrer, virtually de-+ cided in favor of the town, as far ay the Cir-; cult Bench was concerned, and the Super-: visor had no doubt that tho Supreme Court would do likewise. If #0, there would be a erent anving to the town, as the Collector's office would be self-sustaining, the 3 per cent going te pay the Collector and'his sloput Unter the advice of the Board of: Justl the Town Clerk had compromised the sui against Avery Moore, obtaining $500 cnsh, n secured note for $500 payable in one year, and’ unsecured notes for the balance due,~—$7,000, Nothing could be gained by rosectiting Moore and iis bondmen, and at- ‘ormeys’ fers would have been an additional jogs to the town. Nothing further had been done in the Wall ense. The receipts for the year were $87,263.20, and the disbursements $57,015.67, leaving a balance of $30,217.82. The Deputy Collectors, however, had not been paid, thelr compensa- tlon not having been fixed, ‘Thurs was also still outstanding $430 In January Interest- coupons, which had not been presented for payment, A balance was also due to each of the town officers on account of salary, Hie advised, in ease It was not deemed best to take up the outstanding bonds, that) steh areduction be made in the appropriation for town expenses ned best. ‘Tho rerson. for this was obylous. ‘There was nearly enough in the ‘Treasury at present to carry on work until July 1, 1880, and, the taxes to be collected this year not having yet been turned into the Treasury, by July 1a sufliciont amount will have been guthored fn by tho County Collector to meet all expenses, The report was accepted, and the Super- visor thanked for tho faithful manner in which he had performed his duties, Ir, E. B. Baldwin moved that $3,000 bo appropriated for town expenses for the cur- rent year, Supervisor Ward satd that would bo enough, ‘The motion was unanimously agreed to, Mr, Baldwin moved that $4,800 be appro- priuted to pay the intorest on the park bonds, Agreed to, r. Kuhn moved that {t be the senso of tho meeting that tho 7 per cent bonds be taken Up, and new ones Issued bearing not to ex- ceed 6 per cont Interest. Agreed to, ‘The meeting then adjourned, TNH NoRTA TOWN meeting washeld Justinsidethomatn entrance to North Side “Turnor-Iall, and was but sparsely attended, ‘Town-Clerk Noyes called. it to order, nnd, on motion of Volney C, 'Tur- ner, Mr. 'W. 1D.

B, Mason sald he had a resolution forintroduce, and he did It without consult ing the gentleman whose namo ft mentioned, it was well known, ho continued, that the town oficers had been receiving [legal sala- riesfor several years, The evil had been stopped on the South Side, and it was high time to stop it in tho North ‘Town, ‘To this end hehad prepared the following resolu- lon: Resolved, That the Hon. Eliiutt Anthony bo, and ho hereby ta, rututned and instructed by the North Town of Chlougo to tuke any legul nlons- ures neceasury or proper to be taken, in his Judgment, to provent the payment of illegal sulurles to tho ofticors or Hourd. of this town, or to any member or mouwbers thereof, and also to revover any tmonoys egilly puld to tho ottl- cordor Board of the town, or to “any member or mombors thoreof, Sd the last vy eet Mr, Anthony sald he was perfectly willing to act in conjunction with the citizens af North Chieago tn this imatter, It would tuken great deal of time, however, to go over the records for the past five years, and he would suggest the appointment of a com- inittes to fuvestigate and ascertain the facts, ‘Then, [¢ It required any tegul services, he would by perfectly willing to give them, ag speciiiod. "Mtr, Mason explalued that the resglution jinposed no Investigation of the records on the gentleman, but simply provided for diy: charging legal survices, Mr. Ransher-moved to lay the resolution on the table with the Idea of paving the way for it motion wore In accordance with Me, Anthony's suggestion, with which he was in hearty sympathy, In fuct, he would move aR s aes ag.any S Siment the appointment of ater pulttag us ters if there was any. neneaslty’ for: dite bie business -of bs Aoph Mee for the past fivd years, giving « sthe Cominities the. powor-to appoine an ab. tornoy If It should become necessary, : + Mr. Mason anid the meeting -could.not del-, egate any authority to a commiltee to ap point an attorney, niaking that employment conditional Asto tho Investigation, it was necessary, ‘The fact was notorious that tlle. gal salaries had been ‘paid. The resolution did not direct.

The motion to amend was not seconded, and it accordingly fell through. The reso- lution was then unanimously adopted, P Mr, Mason move that.the mecting recom- mend to the Town Board the appropriation of & town tax not to exceed $4,000, Mr, Anthony asked If. there.was any neces- alty for appropriating: anything, -- fr, Mason replied that there was, Tho fegitlinate expenses of minklng the’ assess~ ment and collection would bo some $6,000 or $7,000, and, an, appropriation -of $4,000, to- gether with what came {nto the Treasury, would not be more than sufficient to pay - hem, 4 The motion to recommend a tax not to exe ceed $4,000 was carried unanimously. The meeting thereupon adjourned. THE ANNUAL MEETING OF THE SOUTH TOWN was held at3 o'clock in Howland’s Ilvery- stable on Twenty-second street.
