LOCAL POLITICS. Dangers Ahead for the Repub- lican Party in Cook County. The “Third-Termers” Will Sacrifice Everything to @ain Their Point. . AGeneral Wreck Liable to Follow the Despera- tion of Political Gamblers. The Eighteenth Ward Solid for Washburne and Op- posed to the Third Term. ‘The local political situation is somewhat of an anomalous one. It is very largely a one-sided affair. The Republicans have all the excite- ment and perhups al] the tun. The Democrats are doing nothing, though here and there & sporadic Bourbon, with a hardiness that Bearcely does credit to his udgment, has con- ditionally announced himself as a too willing Patriot to do the State some service for a reasonable stipend. For the preseut almost everything is centered on THE CHOICE FOR PRESIDENT. The officeholders, who have been driven in by the Logan whip, hold daily cessions at the Palmer House, and indulge in complex calculations as to how they may be saved—or rather how they may save the Federal! offices—to a life lease of which they think themselves entitled. With ali the machinery at their command, and with paid agents—the pay comes from the United States ‘Treasury, as * Long” Jones, the Collector of the Sterling District, can truthfully tesuty—travel- ing around the country, the managers of the “boom” are icss sanguine than they werea week ago; and to bolster up the cduse have re- sorted to the plan once adopted by that prince of showmen, P. T. Barnum, to save his show from going into utter bankruptey. Begging letters of the most humiliating char- acter are sent out by the bundred from the headquarters In the Paliner House. The recip- fents are implored by all that is great, good, and holy touse their iofluence to the securing of Grant delegates to their respective County Con- ventions. Great stress is laid upon the fact that it would never to do to have an organized oppo- sition to the candidate from the glorious State of Ilinols; and this tune is ground out with such wearisome monotony as to inspire the opinion that after all the State-rights doctrine 4syet one of the cardinal elements, and the na- ‘ton is ultimately but a amail affair with a small p" At the Blaine headquarters there is being transacted a quiet but legitimute business. ‘Qnere are no frantic appeals to prejudice. The circulars sent forth state the situation dispas- sionately, and point to the history of the past as being sufficient testimony against the innova- tion of the third term. The candidates for the different State offices, it would seem, have transferred their battle- toCook County, and great efforts are ing made by the friends of each to secure a majority of the king. pins" who work tho primaries, Congressmun Fort and State Treis- urer Smith, both candidates for Governor, were ja the city yesterday, and put in a word wher- ever they got a chance. The i candiddtes on the Republican side of the hoyse ure not bolding back on account of the slow oppmace of spring. A few of them have given in their adhesion to the “boom,” while others with more independence are play- ing tle game on their individual merits. THE CONGRESSIONAL RACE finds an additional number of entries during the week. The roster is now about as follows: First District—Abner Taylor, D. N. Bash, Lrus Coy, William Aldrich, the present incumbent, her James White, of the Railway Mail Service, end County Commissioner Stewart. Second District—George R. Davis, present in- cuinbent; W. E. Mason, a8 member of the Legis- lawre; Gen. Martin Beem, County Commis- sioner petra. and Willard Woodard. Third District—Hiram Barber, Jr., and Eliott Anthony. Several of Mr.C. B. Furwell’s friends are desirous that be should make the race, but, @0 far, he shows no disposition todo so. ‘The only Democratic candidates 6o far heard from are Perry H. Smith, Jr., and A. C: Storey, both residents of the Third District. ‘There isa gradual looming up of legislative candidates, very many of whom Were members of the last Genera! Assembly. In the First Dis- trict there are on the Republican side Messrs, ‘W. H. Thompson, Simeon W. King, and.H. L. Ei Only two have been mentioned on the Democratic slate,—Moses Wentworth and Rob- ert Bruce. W. H. Condee, of Hyde Park, would like to go ‘to the Lower House, and Sol Hopkins is a stand- ing candidate for the Senate. Both parties hail trom the Second District. J. B. Taylor, who has already represented Bridgeport for two terms, is not averse tothe “third term,” provided it strikes in the right Pl In the Fourth District there are two candi- dates for the Senate. Thomas Parker and Chris Mamer,—the first named being abundantly ualified for the office,—and D. L. Hough wants to the Lower House. 2. ‘he Fifth District seems to be well supplied,— there being four Republican candidates for the House of Representatives. They are Messrs, Poche P. Sundelius, T. S. Bond, and W. A. elps. Jn the Sixth District, which 1s compnsed of the;Fifteenth, Sixteenth, and Eighteenth Wards, there are: H. H. Thomas on the Republican and Austin Seaton on the Democratside. The lat- ter's campuign depends very much on the result of the Nutional Republican Convention. Should Gen. Grant prove to be the Presidential nom- inee, Mr. Seaton will make the race on the Dem- ocratic side as a “ professional”: in other words, he will go for the Senate. Should the June Con- Yention nominate anybody but Grant, be will ‘be satisfied to make the run for the Lower House. Senator W..A. Delaney is a candidate for reflection. ‘The only candidates from the Seventh Dis- triotsofar as heard from dre Messrs. Collins and Struckman, both members of the last As- sembly. FOR THE VACANT COUNTY OFFICES tobe filled in November there are many cand!- dates. TheShrievalty bas attracted Louis Hutt, Canute Matson, O. L. Mann, and J. T. Rawleigh, Republicans, and Walter Macdonald ant DeWitt C. Leach, Democrats. The Coroner- shipis yearned for by Carl Prewel.” Henry Hertz, and C. W. Smith, of the Second Ward. For the Hecordership there are mentioned Maj. Brockway, present incumbent, E. A. Filkins, Otto Peltzer, James Hamilton, Julius Peterson, and Col. W.S. Scribner. The Stutes'-Atiorneyship seems to have at- Facted no one the present incumbent, L.L. The same can be said of the Circuit Court Clerkship, for which it would seem that Jecod Gross would secure the third term with- Out opposition. Five County Commissioners retire this fall, fro from the North and two from the South Side and onefrom the country. ‘The candidates iy named are A.C. Knopf, H. P. Thompson, 1. Martin, August Steinhuus, and C. H. Plautz from the West Side; Commissioners Boese and Burling and John C. Enders trom the North ide.—all Republicans. The unty Central Committee will meet Tuesday afternoon ut 2 o'clock ut the Pucific Hotel to deterznine when the County Convention ¥ill be held.

These arithmetical and polit ‘acts nre dawning upon their minds, and are causing them a it deal of alarm and per- Sonal upprehension. Patriotisra generally be- gins at home, and these patrivts feel that the axim is trne in their case also, and are, there- fore, anxious to avert this impending calamity, but don’t know very well bow to set about it, e best advice that czn be given these gen- tlemen is for those who feel that their political safety isendangered by the third-term move- ment to unite and clect a Blaine or Wash- burne ticket for Cvok County, 80 28 to keep the delegation from here out of the bands of the third-termers. If thar fs done, that dangerous — organization will lose the control of the State, and, probably, of the National Convention, and thus the peril which threatens the would-be ofliceholders will be averted. SOME OTUER NOMINEE THAN GRANT will be selected. who will unify the Republican Voters and contribute greatly to the general success of the ticket this fall. When these things—that is, this possible loss of the majority of the local offices in case of Grant's pomination—are spoken of to the third- term men.—these ofliccholders, these members of a Federal clique,—they say that they are not specially interested one way or the other in the loss of 2 few otlices in Cook County; they do not care particularly whether they are lost or won. They suy that they can afford to do with- out Cook County; that they depend on the vote in the Republican counties outside of Cvok to pull them through, and to give them the State. They say that, four years ago, when Hayes bad to bear the brunt of Gen. Grant's then unpopulari- ty, he lost Cook Coun ya decided majority, and still the State was saved by the Republican countics outside of this one; and they sre look- ing at things now from the same Standpoint. ‘They say it is of very much more importance for them to have control of the Federal offices and of the patronage of the Federal Government, and to elect a man for President whom they can control, so that Logan will have dictatorial powers’ in iinois, rather. than to make a fight specially fur the possession of some offices, leg ive and otherwise, in Cook’ County. hen they are spoken to about the probability of losing a dozen mem- bers of the Legislature in case of Grant’s nomi- nation, they say that that too isa MATTER OF VERY LITILE CONSEQUENCE; that they can pull ‘though and carry 4 majorit of the State Legislature even if they do ue Ie, feated in Cock,and that, under all circum- stances, there is very little of uny congequence to be done in the State Legislature at the ap- rouching session,—that is, there isno Senator to ¢ elected. They ignore, however, the fact that a redistricting of the State for Congress and the State Legislature will huve to take place, and thut that is a matter in many respects of far more importance than the election of a Senator. ‘They also forget that, in case of aheavy defec- tion were Grant nominated, they -might not be able to secure enough members from outside of Covk County: to save the Legislature in case tbiscounty were to go against them. Nor do they care very much, they say, whether there are one or two or three Republican Congress. men elected from this county as cumpared with the great object which they have in view, which is the contrul of tbe Federal offices. These men are, in short, desperate gamblers, who say that they are willing to risk what they consider to bo small stakes in order to win large ones. If the cannot get acandidute for President who will play into the hands of the men who are now con- trolling the distribution of Federal ottices in this locality. they have no interest in the election of a Republican President. Arguuients such as these are especially alarm- ing w the Republican candidates for county of- tices, who have been listening to this sort of talk for the last few weeks with growing amazement and indignation. They do not funcy the idea of their interests and the interests uf the Repub- lican party in general in this part of Hlinois or in the State at hu being made subservient to the interests uf a Senatoriui clique and the Fed- eral officers who rally around it. But the thing they dislike so much is almost certain to take place, if they do not adopt some measures to prevent it, and the best way, probably, TO AVERT THE CALAMITY which is threatening them and the party in gen- eral is to take the advice mven bore, and to make a united front against the third-terin party, and send to Springfield from this county a delegation which shal] make it impossible for me third-termers to secure the control of the tate, ALL FOR WASHBURNE. The Efghteenth Ward Republican Club held a meeting lust evening at Luwer Turner-Hull, Mr. William Flotow in the chuir. A resolution to set aside the old constitution, and substitute a shorter one instead, culled torth a lengthy discussion. It was clined that the old constitution was much two complex, ‘and the xdoption of a sim- pler one would greatly facilitate the work of the Club. The Grant men, headed by Gen. H. H. Thomas, who, however, were but rew in number, strenuously opposed the adoption of the new constitution, claiming that it wus pro- posed simply to prevent the minority frum get- Unga representation in the delegation from this ward. Jt wus easily to be observed during the discussion that those present at the meeting were almost unanimously in favor of Wash- burne, for, whenever bis name was mentioned it culled forth general and prolonged applause, while the mention of the names of the other Presidential candidates burdiy created ripple, and particularly ominous seemed the silence wheu Grant's name was mentioned. Finally the new constitution was adopted, only Gen. ‘Thomus and one or two others voting against it, ‘The old officers of the Club were redlected un- der the new constitution. Mr. Elliott Anthony introduced the following resolutions, the reat of which created im- mense enthusiasm: WHEREAS, The time has arrived for the peo- ple to express their preference fora candidate for the olce of President of the United States for the next four years; therefore, Resolved, By this the Eighteenth Ward Repub- lican Club that we recognize inthe Hon. Elihu B. Washburne a man who wouid be entirely ac- ceptable to allof the elements of the Republican party in this county. Resolved, That we recognize in Mr. Washburne man true to every trust ever committed to his ohare and that in his long and usetul career in the National House of presentatives and as Minister to France he exhibited qualities of the highest statesmunship, and that be commands the universal confideuce of his countrymen, and that there ure no tluws in his record which would embarrass him in the canvass that is to take place for the oflice of President. Mr. Anthony made a strong and able speech in favor of his resulutions, and stated that he had noth against Gen. Grant and the other Presidential candidates; but from careful ob- servation he felt quite confident that with ‘Washburne only the Republican party was as- sured of success. The resolutions were but the personul opinions of himseif, but he should like tosee them made the sense of the Eighteenth Ward Republican Club at this meeting. Mr. J. cm Flower made a very strong speech in favor of Mr. Anthony's resolutions. He wanted the Eighteenth-Ward Republican Club to declure itsel tuna alousyy in favor of Wash- burne first, last, and for all time. [Great ap- plause.] He had uothing to say ayaimst Gen. Grant's fitness for the position, but all thar Grant bad ever been and was he owed to tho friendship of Elihu B. Wasbburne [enthusiastic applause}, and, if Graut has the least gratitude for what his friendship bad done for him, he would gracefully withdraw in favor of Mr. Washburne. [Applause.] Mr. C..A. Gregory also spoke forcibly and earnestly in favorof Mr. Anthony's resolution, and wanted the Club to declare itself an out-and-out Wushburne Club. [Great ap- plause.] The fact that Waspburne was not a candidate should not go against him. On the contrary, it should commend him so much the’ more to the peuple. It made no differenco whether Mr, Washburne indorsed the movement of not, the Republicans had to consider the best interests of the party, regardless of Mr. Wash- burne’s likes or dislikes. After sume further remarks in favor of the resolutions, the motion was put and they were carried unanimousiy amid the greatest enthusi- asm. The meeting then adjourned until Thurs- day evening at the same place. SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT. The Young Men's Republican Club of the Second Congressional District met last evening at No, 22] West Madison street, Jonn L. Manning presiding. -After some preliminary business, the meeting’ wus addressed for something like two hours by Stephen A. Donglus, Jr., on the merits o/ Grant us 1 Presidentin! candidate compared with tbuseof Biaine. The speech was a substantial reproduction of others which the gentleman has mude on the WestSide, garnished with the sort of materin} to be found in the editorials of the third-term organ. Col. A. N. Waterman was to bave replied from the stand- puint of ® Blaine man. but the lateness of the hour cut him off, and an invitation was ex- tended him, and accepted, to make his response next Saturday night, to which time the meeting adjourned. THIRTEENTH WARD. Ameeting of the Thirteenth Ward Club was held yesterday evening at Benz's Halil, West Lake street, Mr. J. M. Wanzer in the chair, and twenty-seven members present. On motion a preamble and resolution and con- stitution and by-laws were adopted ‘The Treasurer reported that between $200 and $300 had been subscribed, and. after speeches by Messrs. R. 8. Tuthill and others, the meeting ad- journed. 4 ‘The sentimentof the great massof Republican voters in the Thirteenth Ward is unmistakably opposed to the nomination of a third-termer, and yet through the manipulations of the office- bolders and officeseekers there is danger that Grant delegates ‘will be-chosen to the State Con- vention. A private meeting to organize the ward for a third term was first heid at.the house of Deputy Sheriff Cleveland, and since then a public meeting has been Meld, to promote the Grant boom. Men who have beén outspoken in oppusition to the third term have been per- suaded to enlist in the Grant movement, and the men who live on the public are industrious in their labors to secure recruits for the election of Grant delegates. They are used to managing the primaries, andiutend to run. the mackine next week so asto secre a Grunt delegation. All who bave the best Interests of the Repub- lican party at heart are urged to bestir them- selves and make their wishes respected at the polls. All Republicans should attend the pri- mary and vote their sentiments in regard to Presidential candidates, and see that the candi- dates they vote for are reliable men. If the real sentiment of the ward is for Grant, let it ‘with the Adams & W a. / rarep warp. The Third Ward Republican Club met last pening at their headquarters on Twenty-second street, President D. L. Shorey inthe chair. Mr. E.G. Keith, by way of a starter, and in order to get at the sense of the Club, moved that a com- mittee of five be appointed to select twenty- seven names from which to choose nine dele- gates to the County Conrention. Mr. Tecny moved to amend this, to the effect that uch delegates be chosen at the primaries, which was carried. Murry Nelson was called upon for a speech, it being said that he had recently re- turned from the Enst, and had some information of interest. He declined tosay anything, however, stating that he was not yet ready fo commence arow. When things became warm and lively he might be constrained 0 Col. Ricaby then addressed the Club. He said in order to attaina victory votes were ncces- sary. There was no denying the truth of the us- sertion that there was a deep-seated prejudice egzinst the idea of athirdterm. The City of Chicago might decide who was to be nominated, —such a thing was possible,—and it was proper for people to weigh the question at issue thoughtfully. He, for one, would sup- port’ the nominee of ‘the Conven- question with him being tion, the only which of the tive uames already proposed was the most desirable under the circumstances, Referring to the feeling in the South, be suid he did not believe that the people of that section were any more pntriotic at this moment than they were four or eight years ago, Gen. Grant to the con withstanding. The Democratic arty would carry the Southern vote solid, and it was folly to say that Gen. Grantor any other Republican could carry a single Southern State. Aman must be nominated who has no personal characteristics which will draw votes from the purty, and in whom the business interests of the country had perfect and entire confidence. He believed the Democrats would attempt to count. out a Republican if elected, and he wanted a man nominated who would take his seat if elected. Mr. G. F. Bissell also addressed the Club. In the course of his remarks he said the Republic- an party had one man who would cement the party, and against whom no one ever dared to make'a charge of any aescription, and that man was Elihu B, Washburne. [Appliuse.] Several attemp's were made to get other gentlemen to spexk, but without success; thero- upon the meeting .adjouried-until Saturday evening. ? - FIFTH WARD. The Fifth Ward Republican Club met tast evening at 135 Archer avenue and selected tif- teen names from whom are to be selected dele- gates to the County Convention, to be voted for at the primary election, when culled. As the majority of the fifteen are in favor of Blaine, itis fair toassume that the ward will send a Blaine delegation to the State Convention. UNION VETERANS. The Union Veteran Club of the Seventh Ward held a meeting last evening at 283 Blue Island avenue. Comrade James Duguid, In the chair, introduced Col. L. W. Pierce, who spoke to the Club for an hour on the coming campaign. The regular business was then gone through, and the Club adjourned uot! the first Saturday in next month. ‘TILE SCANDINAVIANS. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribiine. CatcaGo, May 1—As a Scandinavinn and an old resident of the Seventeenth Ward, I desire to say a few words in regard to the coming Presi- dential campaign. 1 am happy to state that with but very few exceptions the Swedes of this ward are a unit for Biaine. Whise ft is trae that they did not take 8 very active share in the town election last spring, you may rest assured they will show up to 2 man ut the primaries, aud, with the help of the Irish- American epublicans, elect a solid Blaine dele- onl : The Swedes are anti-Grant, and, while they entertain a very high regard tor Mr. Washburne, they consider the great and gifted statesman from Maine to be the only candidate strong enough to lead the great old Republican party to glorious victory. jur ward has been for weeks past thoroughly canvassed Wy two of our prominent countrymen, —two rising young men,.—Messrs. Lundberg and Sundelius, especially the first named. Mr. Ole Lundberg, to his honor be it said. declined the ust of Consul at Stockholm, offered bim by rant’s friends. His unselfish, indefatigable labors for the success of the Blaine ticket are highly praiseworthy, and have secured to him the undivided esteem and regard of his country- men of the Seventeenth Ward.

Johnson In the chair, The object of the meeting wns to discuss the matter of unloading con) vessels thisyear, and the price to be paid. The price demanded by the Steve- dores’ Union is 12 cents a-ton for hard coal and 14 cents for soft, which was considered an ad- vance on the prices of last year. It was moved that where steam was used in unloading that nine cents be paid for hard coal and 11 for soft for shoveling the same, as it was last year, except where dumping was neccssary, and thea there should be added two and three cents respectively per ton for hard and soft coal, The proposition was discussed, and amend- ments were offered fixing the price at 10 and 12 cents for shoyeling per ton, two and a half and three ce-ts for dumping, and 50 cents per ton for whee... 3. ‘The above evoked considerable discussion. and there seemed somewhat of a division of opinion between the dealers possessing steam-hoistin, machinery and those who unloaded by the ol system. The question seemed to be whether the Exchange would adopt the scale.as some- thing to stand by, or whether it was merely an expression of views. if it. was the latter, there Was an opposition to the passage of tho resolu- tion. If, however, on the other hand, it was in- tended to be binding upon the members of the Exchange, then many of those present tavored it. The resolution was finally put by the Chairman and passed, but many of the members present did not vote. It was again put before the House, after some further dis- cussion, and carried unanimously. After this some one called for the yeas and nays on the subject, but the motion was not considered. Some of the members did not think this action binding, but there was a deterinination ex- Pressed to pay no more than_ the rates adopted, and to have them made less if possible. A mem- ber stated that be had puid as bigh as 14 cents a ton for unloading bard coal this season, and that be had paid one of bis laborers us high as $12 a day, which he thought wus a pretty high prive for a mere con|-shoveler. It was determined that if the Union men would not work ut this rate Monday morning fn unloading vessels that outside hands should be employe L: ‘The meeting was a private one, and the action taken was considered final and binding. <<a “DE WITT'S” PORTABLE GAS MACHINE is meeting with the great success it deserves.

The Wonderful Properties of a Delightful Remedy---What It Is, and How to Secure It. Pulmonary troubles are astern factin our Ameri- can life. But white they are so disastrous, there is little reason to consider them necessarily fatal. That Consumption can be cured Is now settled beyond a doubt, and there are hundreds to-day in all paris of this land who have been saved from a consumptive's grave by the use of HALE’S HONEY OF HORE- HOUND AND TAR. This great remedy: besides con- taining the properties which {ts name indicates, pos- sesses five other inzredients, all specially destened for Jung aad throat troubles, ‘This combination Is the re- sult of long und careful experiment, and It can bo safely asverted that when taken in time It will cure in every case. The first stages of Consumption cannot betrifted with. They are the advance guard of a most devastating army, and must be checked at once If life isdestrable. It does not help matters to say tt is only alittle cold which wiil be over soon. It will NOT be over soon unless promptly stopped. From the thou- sands who bave been completely cared by HALK'S HONEY OF HOREHOUND AND TAR, many effect- ive testimonials could be given If required, but the truth that it cures all pulmonary troubles 1s so thor- oughly established that no additional evidence is re- quired.

CATARRH CURE. atarr @. Persons suffering from Catarrh, who have become sufficiently disgusted with snuffing, injecting, inhaling, and smoking for that complaint, are respectfully invited to an ac- quaintance with the only treatment yet dis- covered or even attempted that RADICAL- LY CURES the disease. A more stupid as- sumption never came from the lips or pen of the most illiterate empiric than the pretend- ed curability of Catarrh with local means, no matter what, or how applied. Every edu- cated physician well knows that ali morbid secretions come from the blood; to leam what elements are deficient in the blood of the Catarrhal subject, and how to supply those.elements in the relative proportions in which they exist in the blood of the healthy subject, is what constitutes the rational treat- ment, and offers the only chance of cure.
