Tho custoin in Cook County hus been to bold primary meetings after ao week or ten, days’ notice, and the Convention n few days before the meeting of ‘the Stute Con- vention, In tho present ease, howover, 2 major ity of tho County Ceutral Committee, twelve of the twenty-three, wore Grunt men, and, velicv> Ingitto tho interest of their candidate, called the primaries, ayninst the enrnest protest of tho elevon anti-Grant members of the Comittee, giving only three days’ notivoof the snine. This uction of the Grant part of the Cam- mittee wag regarded by tho antl-third-term party ag a “gouge” game to bent them at thu ‘primaries, as they wore not go wellor Rralzed as their opponents, ‘Tho Blalne and Wushburno men “pooled” thoir issnres and united in battle agalnst the Grant party, and tho fight was o straight out battle between “third torm" and “antl-third term,” and, as tho result showed whon tho voto of the primarics was counted, the “ants” were more than two toonointhe mujority, counting tho dolegates elected, There was bot work nt the primurics, and each aldo charged tho other with practices of fraud.

Corresponstence Milwaukes tViaconain. Citroago, May 12—Wo brave just pnssed through the most extrnordinary and exciting polltical canvass aver Known in Chicago, The warfure of the Inst twodays—Saturday and SMon- day—between tho Grant and unti-Grant men was ns flerco and bitter as between political enemies. What made tho strife so hot was tho fret that {t was belloved that this was the de clalve batticfeld of tho Presidentin! canvass, and that Ifthe Grant forces were defeated here and Cook County elected anti-Grant delegates to Springtteld, Illinois would send an anti-Grant delegation ta the Chieago Convention. Gen. Logan hid pledged a solid delegation trom this Btate forGrant, He left hia seat in the United States Senate to inaugurate tho Grant campaign, at the mass-mecting in Central Hall, and spent some time in yolng through the State and mar- shuling bls cantains for the fight, He was on Hand again ot this canyass, through all the con- test, and inet hia Waterlou yesterda: whatever may done at Springte cannot now be nominated without tbe Ulinois, And should the Btate Convention, which may have a Grunt minjority outside of Cook County, reject the regular delegutes chosen by the regular County Convention: which comprised three-fourths of the certited and reg- ularly elected delegates, and admit the delu- fates: of the bolting convention, composed of ut one-fourth of tho deleyates—forty-soven out of 102—the outrage would result in the overs whelming dofeut of tho candidates, State and Presidentinl, who should bo parties to ft, Tho primary clectiona wers scones of xreater frauda thun Dbave ever eeen practiced, even at Democratic caucuses. In the ward in which [ Uve-tho Thirteenth—one of the Judges pro- posed at the outset to take all votes offered, whothor by Republicans or Democrats. ‘This ‘was u little too cheeky for a beginning, but after Y first hundred votes were polled, two-thirds of which wore antt-Grant, the Democratic thirds. tern: allies appeared in foree, and large num- bers of them, despite our challenges und pro- tests, wore received, The Grant men had a mae Jority of tho Judges of election and the clerks atall the polls, so that the whole inachinery of tho election was !n their hands. ‘This qave them ittremendous advantage, As one of the Com- mittee on Credentiuls in the County Convention, Texumined tho aifidaylts of fcad{ng business men in reward ta the frauds | practiced at different polls. At one pull over 20 Demo- erats yoted, many of them repenting their votes under various alfases. All the employés of tho West Bide rullways, comprising cight or ning different Mnes, were drafted Into the Grunt bu rades tho President of the Company, J. Rus- sell Jones, baying been kept in office eithor as Minister to Belgium or in the Revenue Depart- ment, during Grant's two terms. Superintend- ent Lake and Overseer McDevitt had Worf them in solid phalanx, irrespective of party or resl- donee, at the Twelfth Ward poll when It opened, and sixty inmates of tho County Hospital wero mustered in at the same poll on the Grant roll, Yot this did not save them. The names of prom- inentand activo Democrats are given {n the afidayits who voted and peddied tickets for Grant, Affidavits, too, are fled from wen who vere fired to’ bring Democratic voters from other wards to yote at this poll, one mun muking outh that ho brought twenty-tive Demo- erats from another ward to tho polis, saw thom volo thy Grant Heket, and that tho Grunt lend- ers bired and paid him for this work. In tho Thirtconth Ward we publicly procinimed that we wished no Democrat to yote tho antl-Grant tieket, and none, as far ns 1 could learn,—and £ wus at the poll from tho opening to the close of tho election—seemed disposed tu vote it. One aetlve Democrat was frank enough to say that he wished Grant nominated because bo could be most easily defoated. Tho truth fs, tho Grant londers sought and obtained tho ald of lary number of Democrats to carry tho primurtes for the Grant delegates, and witbout their ald the: would hayo scarcely sccured 4 Corporal’s guard, With the belp of Democrats and repeaters thoy elected fifty-eight Grant delegates, and the Blaine and Washburne monelected 1LSdelegates, One would suppose that a purty dofeated 60 overwhelmingly ut the polla, in such circum- atances, would huve sense cnough beaten into Uiem to accept tholr defent yracetull and not ‘buck against tho inovitable. Not so. Tho Chalr- man of the County Cammittec, whose busincss is to cull the meeting to order, ufter be had per- formed that duty, and the call bad. been ready proposed to organize the Convontion bimecit,, though ho was noteven a delegate, by appoint- ing the Chairman, who would appoint the Com- mitteo on Credentials, who might convert m1 antl-Grantinto a Grant majority. This bare- faced attempt ut usurpuration met with iodig- nant protests from the entire Blaine and Wash- burne defcgation. Such an act bud never before bean attempted in it Cook County Con- vention since the organization ot the Republican party. In the miast of the con- fusion, no one Beemed to know just what to do, and, nucle that precious timo \ was bolng wasted, and believing that, tho supreme moment hud come for the Convention to decide its charactor, I rose in my place, and iu clear, full yolco, nominated Elliott Anthony as Chair- minn of the Convention, and the nuininution be- {ng promptly and numerously seconded, 1 put tho question, and it wus carried with nn over- whelming “aye,” tho Grant men belng go sur. pred that fow of thom voted no. I declured tr. Anthony elected and he immediately took the chatr. The Committeoman kept trying to presto, ‘nd was culled to order for not siddress- Ing the Chair, The row was kept up for hulf an bour or more, parties rushing on to the plat- form to sustain tholr respective sides, and seve eral times a fight scemed imminent. Finally the police interterea to preserve order. Cons mitteeman Singer retired, on belng assured by Judge Couch and othors, who held his position in previous years, that hia courso waa agilist all precedent in this county, and the Chuire man, the Hon. Eliott Anthony, ns order was restored, appolnte mittee on Credentials, aud, all the cortitl- cates except those from tho Fifth Ward and tho Town of tHydo Park wero handed up to tho Chair, and the ‘Committee retired for delibera- tion, ‘At this stagoof the proceedings the Grint men called on tholr mento bolt,—to leavo the huoll.—a thing they hud resolved upon Saturday: night, eenecyiay at, if thoy met separately aud appointed ninety-two Grint, delegates, which they did, they would bo admitted to the State Jouvention. ° a The ltump Convention that bolted was com- posed of the delegates from tive wards and three townships out of elghteen wards and thirty-one townships.

To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, Cricaco, May 15,—Viewed from a pariine mentary standpoint tho course of Mr. HL. M. Singer In refusing to put the motion in tho Hepubllcan Convention to make the Hon. Elliott Anthony Temporary Chuirman, and to ine siston nominating a person of his own selec- don, may be justly characterized as unware ranted and an {inpudent attempt at usurpation. “He had been formally notified that n caucus of the majority side uf the Convention (of an admitted and overwhelming majority) had se- lected Mr. Anthony for temporary presiding of- ficer, and that n motion would be mada clecting him tu that position, By three different dele- gates at different times that motion was made, and Singer persisted in his refusal to put tho motion. Ils refusal was on outrage on tho rights of the majority as well as on purliamen- tary law, and {if he had veen forcibly ejected from the stand for his misconduct he deserved it AsChairmnn of the Central Committee, and hot betug a member of the Convention, his posi- tlon required that he should be neutral between the fuctions and obey the will of the majority in putting the motion. Mr. Singer, ua Chairman of the County Central Committee, had by usage and courtesy tho priv- tere torap the Convention to order, hive the enll rend under which It assembled, then to asi the Convention whnt was {ts further pleasure; and whon a nominution wes made torTemporary Chairman to put that motion te vote. Hut be refused to do this, and inslsted Illegally to nomi- nate his own man Such conduct wag scandalous und in gross violation of precedent and partinmentary rule. Beyond what J brave stated bu had no more or furthor rights Init than thadoorkecperor Janitor. Sloger's legitumute function was cven lesa than that perforined by the lust Clerk of 1 legislative assembly In calling the new body to order,—to eall the rull and put and declure votes until it was properly orgauized,—but beyond that he bad no right togo. If Mr. Singer bad been a delegate in that Convention it would even then hive been a little cheeky for him to ba: advantuge of bis position and foisted nn the interest of tho minority upon the Con’ tion, and no fair-minded, ‘modest man would have been guilty of such an uct. As it, wes, bo hus neither god taste, prec- edont, ‘or purliamentary sanction for bis course. hen a public meeting of pro- milacuous citizens Js called to transact certaln business, it is often customary for ono of the signers of thecallto riso and nominate some one as Chairman for the purpose of orgunizing the meeting, because the mover ig na mucha inember of tho assembluye ns anybody clse in it,and has the same rights there us tho rest. Such actton would not be complained elected body bas a higher. and brouder scope, and has rights that cannot bo Infringd upon without ingult to tho constituencies whom they represent. A delegate convention very neurly resembles a legishitive assembly. und tho strict+ est parilamentary etiquet should ulways be ob- served by all who are culled upon to nssist in its temporary organization, The legisintive nse semblics Of tho United States being itl consti- tuted upon the model of the two Houses of Purilament, tho louse of Commons, Mt be useful to refer to the munner of organizing that body. Tho Clerk of the House fs‘ not elected by the House, but is aupolnted by letters: witent from the King, nud holds bis oifice for fe. But oven this high authority of appoint ment gives tho Clerk no privilege, and hoe nssumes nono. Mr. Cushing, in bia Law and Practice of Legistative Agsembltes,""—the recog nized authority on auch subjecta in the United States.—on pige 83, spenks as follows of tho mannor of organizing tho House of Commons: “, . . ‘The Commons thon return to thelr House and proceed at once to the election of 1 Speaker, which Is conducted in the following nianner: Some one of the members, addressing: himself to tha Clerk ut the tuble, who responds totho member by rising and pointing to bim with his fingér, reminds the House of tho King’s command to clect a Spenker,. and, hort complimentury speech, proposes a ice. “If this nomination Is svconded, a8 {t commonty {sin a alinilar apeech, and huppens not to be opposed by any other candidate's being brought forward, the member thus selected is called by the Mouse nt once to the chair, and fs conducted there and placed in it by bls proposer and seconder, without apy other or more formal voto of the House.” Unlike Mr. Singer, tho Clork of tho flouso of Commons does not nominate a member for ker; ho does not even recognize the gentie~ ninn who makes the nominution by calling out his namo and declaring that he has tho Hoor, but bo aimply rises from his seut and “ pulnts to him wi iS iT es Imaglno Singer kesping quict and“ polnting with his finger" to 8.
