TICKET STEALING. ANOTHER OF BILL BARNUM'S CAMPAIGN TRICKS. ‘The Democratic Campaign Committees tried to Play a little game Tucsday, which, if the cards bad not beentaken from them, might at least have reduced tho Republican majority in the city, Ordinarily, the local’schemers are able to concoct pinns to rob their opponents of votes. ) ‘This time, however, being deg; and having resolved to leave nothing und since Mayor Harrison, it 1s sald, was unde: ledye.to carry the Second Congressional District, they called in outside assistance. Tho Democrats of Indian- apolis imported from Baltimore Billy Mills, the foventor of the “fan-tail” ticket, by which one voter, with the assistance ofa Democratic Judge, can put three, four, five or more ballots imto the box. And’ the Chicago Democrats brought here from Muine a “sharp, shrewd fel- Jow.” who was en expert in counterfeiting tickets. The contract for printing the Republican tickets was let to Mr. Gindele, who had the plateselenty-four of | them—made at Jung- lut's, No. 156 Clark street. Two of Mr. Gindele's ‘Most trusted “hands—the foreman of the press- men and the foreman of the cofnpositors—stood by while the electroplaters were at work. ‘hen a plate was spoiled it wasat onceremelted, $0 as to avoid the chance of its being seen by a Democrat, or one in the employ of the Dem- ocratic Committee: and when the number re- quired was finished, tare were carefully packed up, taken over to Mr. Gindele’s office, and Jocked up in his vault. Sunduy the tickets there were 1,200.00 of them—were printed. Ali the doors were locked, and no one Went in or our of the press-room, and every impression Was acvounted for. .,, Early Monday morning a story was in cireula- aun. Uat the tickets were “out.” This report. was’ Lou upon as one which is abroad campaign; nevertheless, an investigation was mude to see what truth there was in it.

Tho Republican State Central Committee de- serves all the congratulations it has tecelved tor the careful. vigorous, and successful con- duct of the late campaign in this State from be- ginning to end. and especially for one of the last strokes of good work it put in near the wind-up. ‘The lesson taught the Republicans by the des- Perate Democratic tactics of four years ago was onetong tobe remembered, and “the critter’s eyes were sot" this time with a determination that the fruits of whut promised tovea clear vic- tory should not be lost through any carelesncss in the matter of running Presidential Electors who + XN THE CHICAGC TRIBUNE: SUNDAY, NOVEMBER .7,' 1880—SIXTEEN PAGES.

Equal care bas been taken in other States to Avoid falling into. a trap where the Democracy would be certain to take the advantage of thom -ifit promised to lead to anything, but in no other State. perhaps, was the work of “ purz- ing" the Electoral ticket curried on more quietly and at the same time right under the nose of the adversary than it was here in Ill- nois. ‘The fact that it was done did not get out untila day or two ago, and, as several of the Electos who went through the * purging ” proc- ess might,under # Rebel Brigadier Congress,bave otherwise been declured ineligible, thero is no telling how many fond Democratic schemes were quietly nipped in the bud, and the last resort of a beaten party dismissed from the range of pos- sibilities, Some ten days before the election A. M. Jones, Chairman of the State Central Committee, very quietly summoned _to this city every last one of the twenty-one Electors, for the purpose, of catechising them as to their eligibility, and of tuking the necessary steps in the matter in case any of them vccupied positions which might afford the smallest pretext for the game of throwing-out, All responded in person gave one—Mr. Ethelbort Callahan, of Crawfard County, who was unable to be present, but who gent in the most convincing proof of his entire fitness wo be voted for as a Garfield and Arthur Elector, and to bave his vote tell fo the Electoral | Collere. Like another meeting during the Inte campaign, when the Western branch of the Na- tional Committee interviewed the Republican Jeaders in every school district in Indiana, and nobody ever dreamed of what they were doing, this convocation of the Presidential Electors was one of the MOST SECRET GATHERINGS ever beld in this Ore any other city. Tho lace of meeting was Room 4!’ of the Grand cific Hotel, a large room {minediately south of the Ixdies’ ordinary. ;How twenty-one men, to, say nothing of tha towering form of “Long” Jones and two or three others who have been oconspjcuous xbout the hotel for months, ever got into that room, remained there for three solid hours, and got out.acain without being trapped by the udiquiteds journalist in search of a stray item is caplainwbic only on the ‘theory tbat they resorted w such znusunl modes of ingress and egress us are afforded by windows and possibie holes in_ the ceilings or traps in the door. The full particulars, of course, bayen't got out yet, ana probably never will, but enough was icarned yesterd: y a TRIBUNE explorer to show that this very quict and very seufet ses- sion was about as intercsting ns it could well be made. The systea: of ox techising was thorough and searching. Each Elector’ was, put on the rack and asked nut only whetber he now held auy oltice of any eort, but whether be hud ever held any, and had failed w dissolve the ofliec- holding relation. The inguiry was not directed towards offices of protit ouly, but embraced those of trust and honor, and every other conceivable sort. The ‘upahot of it’ alt was that two or three of the Elect- ors “purged” themselves of the office of ‘Town Supervisors by resigning on the spot, and tive or six.others lost no time in unmaking themseives notary publics. “he resignations were all drawn up in proper form, mailed to the Governor, and the meeting adsournedt. But the’ overtopping piece of caution was yet to be displayed. A day or two after the meet~ ing a telegram was received by the Chairman of the State Cehtral Committee from one of the wisest of the * wise men of the Bust,” advising him that the Demoecratie throwing-vut scheme, if it was ever resorted -to, coutemplated a move on Electors who held even so much as the oftice of Bunk President or Bank Director, and warning him to see that none of that class'stood on guard. Now, it so huppened that the Presidential Elector ‘in tie First Congressional District was Mr. George Schneider, President of the Nutioust Bank of Illinois, and very little time was lost in acguaint- ing bim with the contents of the aforesaid tele- gram. Mr. Schneider nppreeiuted the position, and in the twinkling of an eye made out tho proper paper informing the Bink Directors that their President he could uo longer be. One of the rather amusing incidents of the meeting grew out of the cutcchising to which one of the Electors from this city was subjected. He bad held but one public office in his life, and relinquished that two or three years ago; but, leat any pussibie point should be made on him by a far-reaching and bair-splittiag convoca~ uon of Rebel Brigadiers, he boldly made a clean breast of the awful secret that, in trath and in deed, he actually beld at that very moment the office of church-trustee! What is more, be of- fered to resizn then und there if the rest should consider {t necessary. It goes without saying that they didn’t, und the church in question is to be congratulated on his sticking. ELECTION BETS. THE HUMOKOUS SIDE OF THE RESULT. During the heat of the recent campaign Mr. George Edwards, a hardware merchant at South Chicago, and Mr. Thomas Doyle, a real-estate dealer residing in the saine town, made x novel bet on the result of the election. Mr. Edwards isastalwart Republican, while Mr. Doyle is, or was, a stalwart Democrat. The agreement was that in the event of Gen. Garticid's election Mr. Doyle should treat Mr. Edwards to a wheelbar- row ride through the main strect, and should Hancock be elected Mr. Edwurds wus to supply the propelling: power. It- was stipulated Unut in the event of either party backing down he should forfeit $100. It is unuecessary to say that Mr. Doyle lost his bet, and he stood itlixe a man. The circus, for that it cortainiy ‘was, took place yesterduy afternoon. The en- ure town turned out, despite the blinding snow- storm, and the affair provoked great :nerriment, ‘The route was from the hotel to the Govern- ment pier and return, a distance of ubout ture quarters of a mile... Nevins & Denn’s band had been secured, und’ headed the procession, tol- juwed by Mr. Doyle with bis one-whceled car- riage, in which was seated Mr. Edwards, cov- ered with smiles and surrounded by # crowd of equally pleased Republicans. The band during the journey played the “Rocky roid to Dublin,” Here we go and there we go,” ~ We'll never miss the Jager till the keg runs an bat refrained from playing the “ Rogue's Dei s Mr. Doyle became winded at frequent inter- vals, when the procession was halted, and liquid restoratives were indulged in at_ the expense of the man who was doing the work. The hotel was finally reached, where the exercises closed with tbree cheers for both parties. Mr. wards bas the satisfaction of buving won his bet, while Mr. Doyle's sutisfaction consists in the Knowledge that a poor man's plaster will re- store his uching spine to its normul state, after which he proposes to get oa the winning side, and forever cut the Democratic party, if such © party can be said to exist." STILL ANOTHER. Another wheelbarrow bet was paid last night. Mr. McCarty, who is employed by Garrity, the tobacconist, and Richard Brown, of the United States Express Company, made a bet on the Presidential election that whoever lost should wheel the other in a barrow from the headquar- ters of the Eighth Ward Republican Club, at the corner of Huisted and Harrison, to the West Madison street police station, and back again. Mr. SMecCarty was unlucky enough’ to pin his faith w Hancock, and, consequently, lost, and last night aid his bet like «Tite ue man, The procession formed at tho corner of Halsted and Harrison. headed by a fife and drum, followed by Mr. McCarty with a wheelbarrow containing Mr. Brown, and a targe and miscellanouus crowd of excited citizens and enthusiastic boys, The procession moved on Halsted street to Madigon, eust on Madison to Union, where there was a momentary halt in tront of the police-station, and then back again tothe place of beginning, where it dispersed amid loud and enthusiastic cheers. WARD MEETINGS, IN THE F1HST. ‘The First Ward Republican Club met at the Pacific last evening with a large attendance, and Col. Taylor in the chair. Several new members were elected. The following resolunons were unanimously adopted: Wuereas, The Mayor of this clty, by bi course in the late clection in tmalcing iweendiaey speeches calculated to create riot und blood. shed, and by bis appointing Democratic ward bummers as special police to overawe the lexal voters, thereby trying to inaugurate the South- ern mode of curryiny elections, has shown him- self unfit for the Position he holds, and should rece! je condemnation of honest m parties; {hecrefore, best a eno ell wited, That it is the duty of al) honest lovers of god eovernment to see tot thurs they snull plice in nomination next spring for the of- tice of Mayor a well known, honest, and capable min, who understands the Wants of all the peu ple, and whose name upon the ticket will be & xuarantee of success; and for this place we rec- ommend the name of Jesse Spalding. After the passage of a vote of thunks to D. W. Nickerson, Chairman of the Ward Campaign Committee, F. A. Brokoski, the Secretary; and his ten assistants, who made a canvass of the ward, and to Cal. Abner Tuylor, the President of tne clas for theif active labors during the cam- on election-« a ~ Res n-day, the meeting ad- eae ‘SXHIURTEESTH. ie irteenth Ward Central Repubil Club met last evening in Schmidt's Hale's Oo. ‘8 West Lake street, with Ald.

The fact. was developed that a Most thorough ctnvass had been made, and the ward bad given its largest Republican ‘majority at the last election. The Cu will be kept in trim for the spring campaign. It was also de- cided to make a guod showing in the joliitication which was postponed until Tuesday night. Mr. Frake offered the following, which was adopted: WHEREAS, The young men of the Thirt Ward were umong the first of, the city to Ethene izeaGartield and Arthur Club, and from its organization have worked indefatigublv in the interest of, the Kepublicun purty und for the success of Its ticket in a manner worthy of imi- tation by the older Hepublicans of the ward; ai ealved, That thi th the young men ot the Garfleld and Arthur Club of the Thirteenth Ward are en- titled to the sincere thanks of this Club and of the entire Republican party. ‘ Resoleed, That these resolutions be inscribed on the minutes, and a copy of these resolutions be presented by the Secretary to the Young Men's Club. 4 Adjourned. _ \ LAKE VIEW. # grand turnout and follification of the Re- publicans ot Lake View was held last night, which, considering, the short space of time and |. 2,000 feet, which, if they were removed, would be the sparsely-settled districts in which it took place, was indeed agrand spectacle and success, and will long be remembered by the citizens. On the evening previous the officers of the Lake View Republican Club, who are also the Execu- tive of the Gartield and Arthur Club. met and determined to bold a jubilee on Friday. This was Short notice with a large territory to zo over, but they were equal to the emergenoy. The Gartield and Arthur Guards turned out eighty-five strong, in uniform, and bear ing vorches. Thoy were splendidly drilled and disciplined by their Captain, Thomas Cook- son, and, hended by a brass band and a drum corps. marcbed about five miles through some of the principal portions of the town. foilowed by a luge delegation of citizens, a goodly por- tion being Indic, most of whom, after going a short distance, went to the appointed rendez- vous, where several large bontires were built, and a large asgortment of fireworks touched off. Here they all pasemnbicd Stich, gies articipated insinging anda geueral io! - Hou, in which they were joined by a delegation from the Fifteenth Ward with tin horns. * One feuture of the occasion was the presenta- tion of a fine snare drum and set of resolutions to Master Robert Hugan, wno bad served during the campaign. He und the Guards were highly delighted. After the fireworks had given out the crowd dispersed, the Guards marehed to their quarters, and were presented with their uniforms and torehes, and thanked: for their services. They then dispersed. There is some talk of keeping up the orgunization. —————— SUBURBAN. HYDE PARK. The question of the removal of the Union Stock-Yards track on Forty-tirst street, being brought up in the meeting of the Board of Trustees Friday night, President Hobart pre- sented the following: Gentiemcn uf tie Board of Trustees: Beveral months azo, in compliance with tho repeatedly- expressed wish of larze numbers of our constit- ents, this Board voted to commence legni pro- ceedings to test the riht of the Union Stuck- Yards & Transit Company to occupy certain streets of the village with its railway tracks. Our Attorney accordingly commenced suit, and the case is now about to come up for trial. I -conceive that whatever may be the petonat. feclings or interests of any member of this Bourd te ty our duty as representing the people of Hyde Park to require the most vigorous and speedy prosecution of this long-vexed question to its final issue. Noone will deny that the existence of the tracks of the Union Stock-Yurds & Transit Company in their present location ucross the entire breadth cf our village is n serious damage to contiguous property. These tracks extend from the luke shore neat Forty-third street to our western boundary, a distance of nearly one and one-half miles, crossing fifteen thorough~ fares, including the two great boulevards and all the principal avenues leading from the : City of Chicago. ‘hese thoroughfares are a8 j follows: Lake, Ellis avenues, Forty-tirst street, Drexel boulevard, Cottage Grove avenue, Fortioth street, Langley uvenue, Vincennes ay- enue, Grand boulevard, Calumet, Pratrie, In- diana, Michigan, and Wabash avenues and State street. Besides these, we claim that they occu- py wholly one or more regulurly dedicated streets. ‘The strent frontage above occupied by these tracks amounts, it is estimated, to apout worth not far from, $150,00, to say nothing of the large amount of land ‘now taken off from the rear of other lots. Tho depreciation in the value of property immedistely adjucent to the tracks cannot be accurutely computed, but is probably not Jess than $200,000 more, making total of at least $35,000 as the value of the right of way and, adjacent dam- ayes for this short piece of' switching-track. ‘As, however, n very considerable part of the Jaud Secu pled by the road is owned by the Stock-Yurds Company, it is evident that the Company would at once receive, in the libera- ton of this land for other uses, at lenst a partial compensation for removing its tracks. The fn- juries caused by the existence of these trucks are not by any ineans confined to the damage to immediately udjucont lands. Every person who drives to and from the city over our beautiful boulevards aud avenues, and is personully af- fected by the passing of she numerous trains across them, and muny residents within a con- sideruble distance of the tracks, whether prup- erty-owners or not. are more or less disturbed by the srrinding of wheels around the sharp cor- ners, by the odor of the stock-cars, and by tho frequent blocking up of thoruughfares by the ay trains, ‘ Stilt if this railway were part of a great thor- oughfure over which the public were daily trans- ported, and the removal of whick would bea public inconvenience, thore would be leas dispo- sition wv object to it. But it is simply a con- venience, and not a necessity, to any of the parties using it, Indeed, a much shorter route to the Stock- Yurds for incoming trains could be hud by elving. up this roud and building, for in- paratlel to the Pittsburg, Fort Wayne & ks from Grand Crossing as far as the Stock-Yards. Whatever tho legal rights of the owners of this road may be, there ig. a question of moral right which, it sccins to me, thoy ought. not to ignore. Js it right for a mun or a corporation to serious- ly and needles{y injure a community merely for his or its convenience? Ihave a legal right to build a barn on the front of my fot right under my neighbos’s window; but hive I any moral right to soWantonly damage him? I may even have built my burn before any residences were built near, but after the street had become thickly populited, and when the people beseech me lo move back my barn, offering to pay ail the expense of the change, I must admit the justice of the demand. ‘The people do nut ask the Union Stock-Yard &Transit Company to move without compen- sation; they would gladly, if necessary, provide a large bonus to induce the change, und itis set to te hoped that thastock-Yard Company will Jook fairly at the fact, that their tracks ns now focited ure 2 serious and an entirely unnec- essary culamity to the fairest porcon of our village, across its catire breadth, and will con- sent to negotinte for their removal, Meantime, however. our duty us‘Crustees is pininly to obes* the demands of our people, and use every legal meuns to cause the removal of the tracks from the public strects, which they now appear illegully to occupy. It ts from no feeling of hostility to the Union Stock-Yarda &{Transit Company, whose opera- tiong are of so much importance to the com- munity, and from no lack of appreciation of the iminense value to the village of the illinois Central and other railways which flud these tracks a convenience. that we take this action. We would prefer rather to appeal to the public spirit and sense of justice of these grent cor- porations, and to urge them to consider how great is the'injury which the existence ot these trucks Intlict. compared with the advantage which they give, But, as thus far we have re- ceived nd encouragement of voluntary action, it sevms necessary to stand upon our legal rights, ‘Therefore, and as the case will soon require ad- ditional counsel on account of the magnitude of the interests involves, I would recommend * the passnge ot the following: Aesolocd, That the Judiciary Committee and the Attorney be hereby authorized and instruct- ed to retain the Hon. Lyman Trumbull to as- sist the Attorney in’ prosecuting the ponding Buit against the Union Stock-Yards & Transit Compuny. Mr. Foas sald that to prosecute the pro: ad suit would cost $15,000, nnd he did not fecl that it would be wise to charge the whole town for tho benefit of the property-owners in the north end of the villuge. - Mr. Hobart remarked that it would cost $1,500; £0 Judge ‘Trumbull told him; and he thought it the duty of the Board to took after all interests and expunge all nuisances.

The principal charges against them are that thoy *purloined ull the pies and pastry from the Worn- an’s Colleze last Wednesday “night; that they attempted to teur down the old round-house to feed the bon-tire of the same evening; and that they set tire to the remant of a house formerly belonging to Prof. Noyes, and. only called ovt the Fire Department after it was too Inte to put out the fire.
