Grinnell. - Charley Cameron was called on, and, being an appointee of Mayor Iiarrison, of course spoke eulozistically,of the present adminis- tration, referring incidentally to the Demio- cratic party. Vietorv was certain. [Cheers.} W. J. Hynes followed, saying that some- thues the unanimity of a convention simply evidenced the hopelesness of the cause, but, in this instance, it showed perfect confidence in success. He; ton, had much to say about Carter, who had reflected credit on the party, and Jifted it from the “‘slough of despond,” and given it hope for the future; and he would receive the united support of all the elements in the party. The speaker. how- ever, did not seein to believe what he bad ust said, as he took occarion fo speak of the % elnousness of showing ill-will_on account of disappuintment in getting positions. s At tuis juncture Mayor Harrison came Inio the room, and was srected with cheers. introduced. a delegated shouted, ‘. “LET THE EAGLE LOOSE,” 4 his Honor did.

Adverting to the charge that the cit; was full of gamblers and prostitutes, he ad-, witted its truth, saying that neither sambling’ nor prostitution could be stopved, but elaim- ing that he held buth in check—all that could be done. In conclusion, he nsked all Demo- crats to do their duty and he wonld be re- elected. Tie advised all who were offered monev to take it. and then to vote the Demo- cratic ticket. This would be the only speech he should make during the campaign. * The Convention then adjourned with cheers for Harrison. 4 THIRTEENTH WARD. A SPEECH BY ALD. CLARK. The Republican meeting held last Might in Benz’s Hall, under the auspices of the Z'hir- teenth Ward Republican Club, was marked by a very crowded attendance and a display, of the greatest good feeling and enthusiasm, Mr. Fred S. Baird, President of the Club, presided. . The early part of the evening was taken up in tho transuction of routine business of no outside importance. When Ald. Clark appeared he was grected with cheer after cheer, it being fully a minute before the uproar subsided. Ile was accompanied by Mr. Thomas A. Sennott, the Reyublican candidate for City Clerk. R AMr. Clark was introdueéd as “the next JMayor of Chicago.” and again the hearty cheering was Indulged in. Mr. Clark spoke very briefly, but few as his remarks were they were repeatedly interrupted by the en- thusiastic 2pplause of his listeners. He as- sumed that the gatiering was one of Repub- licans, and he was more than pleased tc see so large a one. He wanted tp urge ngon them, however, the necessity ot using their influence with fellow Republicans to bring out the full vote of the party. If that party turned ont as it should—was true to itself—the Republican candidates would be elected without the slixhtest diffieulty, and a glorious victory would be gained. As for himself, he had no promlses or vléedzes to make further than to say that, if elected, he would do his utmost to enforce the laws and to give the city an honest and satisfactory administration. ‘The nomination had come 10 im unsought, und he could- truthfully say that he had no private objects to gain,— only the object of securing to the citizens of Chicago a gavernment of whicl they could feel prond. ‘Lnuz contigued applau: Mr. Sennott, * the next City Clerk,” was loudly_ called for and resvonded bifef- ly.

As to_the other Republican eandi- dates, he would say that they.were all inen eminently fitted to occupy the positions in which their supporters were endeavoring to place them. Ald. B. . Thombson, candidate for West Town Coliector, in a pointed speech called attention’to that portion of dayor Harrison’s speech at yesterday’s Demacratic Conven- tion wherein Carter claimed the credit of re- ducing the water tax. Mr. Thombpson said that the first and principal reduction was made by a Republizan Councii under the Administration of Mayor Heath. lun order to see the effectiveness of Harrison’s police force it was only necessary to walk down Statestreet, where viceineveryform held forth in open defiance to law. The speaker could say for Ald. Clark that he'was a gen- tleman in every respect implied by the word, and also a gentleman of miore than ordinary ability. 1f elected Mayor, as he surely would ‘be, hie would do . credit to himself and to the city. Mr. J. M. Wanzer, Republican candidate for Alderman in the Thirteenth Ward, addressed the mevting in a few well-timed remarks, setting forth the necessity for active work and promising that, if elected, his constitu ents woula never be ashamed of him. .He fully appreciated the responsibility that was attached to the position of Alderman. Entertaining speeches were also delivered by Messrs. J. L. Bennett, Henry Decker, James Frake, and others. ~Between the speeches the Crosby Glee Club rendered in excellent style a number of campaign songs. Resolutions were adopted heartily indors- ing the nomination of Ald. Clark-for Mayor, and also Indorsing all the Republican,candi- dates oh the city. fwn, and ward tickets. A communication to the Club from Ar. James Burke denounced William Headlam asa * political trickster and a fraud,” for using his (Barke’s) name unauthorizedly in connection with a circular against Republic- an candidates in the ward. After appointing a Campaign Committee of ten from each precinct of the ward the meet- mind]unrned‘ ext Wednesday 2 Republican mass-meet- ing will be held at the same hall under the musmlces of the Young Men’s Club of the ward. i AT HEADQUARTERS,: ATPOINTMENT OF WARD COMMITTEES, The Republican Campaign Committee took possession of their new quarters at 121 Fifth avenue yesterday forenoon, and were in ses- sion at odd intervals during the day. "The business was confined to the routine matters inseparably connected with potitical organi- zations abont election time, and nothing of an exciting or interesting nature was trans- acted. A resolution was adopted recogniz ing the lrish-Awerican Club as an inde-- vendent organization, and asking its active codperation In the conduct of the campaign. 1t was resolvéd to enguge a glee club for: furnishing the vocal inspiration at ward meetings, and a committce was appointed to select thesingers.” Reports from the commit- teemen of most of the wards were received rezarding ward organizations, and the fol- lowing list of committees was spread upen the records: k First Ward—James P.

Cmrcago, March 2.—Itis & very common mistake to praise the Administration of Mr.* Harrison as superior in all respects to that of his predecessors. It is only great in its ‘passive laissaz faire qualities, not inits cre- ative or positive oues. ‘When Mayor Heath was elected, on July 12, 1878, the bonded debt of the clty was.. il - $13,457,000 On the 28th pril, 1879, les a three years thereafter, It was.. 13,043,000 Reduotion .$ 404,00 On July 12, 137¢ 8 illegal certificates lssued by a Dewmocratic Coatroller wa3.......... 3,011,323 On_ April 28, 1879, the day Mayor Heath's lust term oxpired, there hud been pafd ..eeeesseenens veeaces RT623%9 Balance, ceesorennasteniiesanns® RIBEN If the legality of the mew levies to pay bdek taxe$ was sustalued in the Suprewms Court (as it was) there was certain to be col- Jected within a short time from the taxes of former years upon real estate alone when Harrison took control, to-wit: Cash on doposit witk.County T reasurer 250 Ofl BPPRIIS. .eeiaesvvansionecriorsseance 45,469 On forfeitures to State-drawing ioter- estat 10 per cont .......... 991,000 On forfeitures from taxes o! . 231,000 Tétal uricollécted but good assets and taxes legalized during eath's Ad- ministration:, . $ 1,230,388 Deduct from thi; outstand g certiloates..........oare 240,000 Restore the vutstendiug overdrafts on certain funds drawn by a Democratic Controlier .. ceestesasenraes 900,000 $ 1,148,000 . -Balance... &) In addition 1o this we city, on April 28, 187, held tax-deeds and certiti- cates of 1671 and 1372 smounting to.. 11602 In forfeltures of 18i6 162,814 1In forteitures of 1877 215,198 Add former Smnos...

This does not include delinquent personal tax, nor the the appropriation of 1678, " Nor t include several hundred thousand dollars pawt in settlement of obll- gations against the clty for condemnation and other special proceedings. Muyor Heath’s Administration reduced . the bonded debt $414,000, and paid off a loating debt of $2,762,- 3829, leaving only- $219,000 of certificates, an to restore the overdrawn funds $600,000. T'o pay. this he left assets amountmg to nearly ,000,000. y When Heath took control everything was apparently chaotic. The city credit ruined, The bonds not quotable. Certifticates were selling at 60 centson the dollar, and great un- certainty as to rizhts of the city to borrow money or even pludge its eredit fur.mu:lxo{n- ry accommodation. The Democratic Admin- istration from 1873 to 18i6 had left this lega- ey.and had carried on the city in every braneh with reckless extravagance and I the interest of the taxeater, not the taxpayer. Under Heath the cost of lighting streets was Teduced from S$38+005 in 1575 to 3249,771 in 878. The annual appropriation reduced from §5,466,692 to 33,776,430 in 1879, MMr. Heath retired from office leaving tho city cradit restored, her bonds at a premium, and capitalists eager to lend her money. He left it comparatively free from gambling,” "~ open licentiousness, bunko steerers, and known resorts for thieves and thugs. Ile had found a city rulned by Democratic misrule. = Ile left it on a firmer basis than ever before, and enabled his successor simply by clerical work to further ca ut his program, der Heath’s Administration the water rates were reduced. (See ordinance passed April 14, 1899.) r. larrison has, out of the moneys left him by Heath, paid off the floating debt and reduced the $12,752,000, Iis first appropria- tion was §4,627,135, or $5%0,000 more than the highest appropriation under Heath. The 2 per cent limit_has a salutary eifect on ap- propriations, and the careful work of our Assessors durbiyg the last few years, and the remarkable collections of our Collectors, liave cnabled Mr. arrison to -avoid all breakers. JMr. Harrison has had very plain _safling,—made so by . the care- ful, faithtul, and systematic Administration of Mayor Heath. Everything had to becreated under Heath. Everything was ready under Ilarrison. Gasconude and finesse sometimes delude people. Harrison and his fr.ends made great capital out of the fact that he pitid some of the employés in gold. Any man could have done sv in 1850,—no man in 1877 or 1878. - Another tallscy s current that it takes so muceh more to run a city of 500,000 thanone ot -350,000 population. . Any one ac- quainted with the facts know this to be un- true. 1In 1873, under Democratic rufe, it cost nearly double to conduct the altairs that it did under Republican rule in 1878, Mr. Harrison -stmply, 1n_ financial af- fairs, allowed the. city to run the same as un- der Mr: Heath,—namely': -in striving to econ- omise..-In all otherways he has sadly di- gressedi—by allowing State street, from -amns to Twelfth;, Third and Fourth aivenues, and Clark steeet from Vau Buren to Twelfth -strget, and. a great many. localities on the West Side, to be literally sluk-holes of licen- tiousness, rendezvous -for thieves, and. the .undjsputed realn of the gambler and cour- tesan, and brmlght .the. morality of the city to the lowest ebb. ; By'sinking the Mayoral office into the par- stisan: elifef, he lowered the dignity of tite .office,"and Yost “the respect of citizens.

It was not a Democratic Convention that did the cut and dried work. In it were not to.be found the time-nonored and fossilized Bour- bons, who contributed old, fogyism and re- spectability to the party. Its members were very largely saloonists -and * rounders” from the levee, brothers, cousins, =and fathers of firemen, brothers-in-law of | policemen, ana near nelghbors of clerks and laborers in the employ of the various depart~ ments around the City-Hall. The people, for whose welfare Carter is always ready to offer himself as a willing sacrifice, had nothing to say about the selection of the delegates, and consequently had no more representation in the Convention than in the Russian Parlia~ ment. “The ownersof the dives and coneert- halls along State street, the gamblers ann-l 3 blacklegs of Clark street, the proprietors of the low-down lodging-houses, and th wdlves in every shupe who prey on gociety, were represented by their semi- respectable retainers, and the combined assemblage made o melange of humanily that reflected not the slightest creaif upon popular sotereignty or “thé majestic vox quull. : 'he nominations falled to arouse any en-~ thusiasm outside of the connected circles, in- terested therein cither by an enjoyment of license to do as they please, or in the offices under the Administration enjoyed by their to exhibit any of that spontaneity which usually results from thé doing of a good tlung.” The nominations failed to exclte any emotion, becauss they were the result’ of sordidness.

Special Dispatch to The Chicago Tribune PHILADELPRIA, March 26.—The Oregon Steam Navigation Compuny, which is now trying to swallow the Northern Pacific, wus before tho panio a creature of the Northern Pacific. Itwas bought by the. Roilrond Company when the scheme was first broached. It falrly jumped 1nto prosperity, and it became one of the pow- erful corporations of the Paciflc Coast, with & line of railroad, a flect of Steamers, &nd a re- munerative business. The Company came into possession of Jay Cooke & Co. for advances mnde by the Northern Pacific. In 1873 Jay Cooke & Co. failed, ood their stock in the Oregon Steam Navigation Company was divided among the creditors. At this time the stock was very ‘valuable, but the depression that became gen- eral throughout the country affected the Com- pany, and the stock fell. Beveral shrewd men gaw that the property of the Company was very valuabie, and they determined to get control of {tatalow cost. A sort of syndicate was formed in which Henry Villard, 8. Y. Reed, J. C. Ains- worth, W. H. 8tarbuck, of New York, and oth- ers, were the moving spirits. 1t is charged that a systematic effort was made to depress the stock and frighten bolders into selling. However this may be, at the-end of two or three years the stock was in possession of the syudicate at prices ranging from $5 to $85 per ebare, and Mr. Villard be- cume Presideat of the Company. The stock, as is shown by the papers filed in a legal proceed- ing In New York on behalf of the injured stock- holders, was mostly purchased by Ainaworth and Reed, Villard standiug in the background. As soon as the ‘control uf the stock was secure Mr. Villard sod his friends formed o new: compauy called the Oregon Railway & Navigaton Company, of which Villard was made President, and 2nend was put to the ex- istonce of tho old Oregon Steam Navigaton Company. To da this it was necessary to ruake an appraisement of the properts of the Com- Flny: ‘The appraisement wus made by parties n Villard's jutereat, who agreed on a vuluadon ot $2,300,00. Meuntime they had turned over thelr stock purchases of the Oregon Steam Navi- gation Company to the Oregon Kailway & Navi- guoon Company at a large advance. 'Thoy beld about §4700,000 in securities, which they turned over to the npew Company for about $7,000,00 In its securities. This dif- ference represented tho clear profit of Mr. Villurd and ois friends In the transaction, for they bad'no soouer formed the new Company than they issued 6,000,000 in stock and 6,000~ 0 ln .bonds; nguinst the capitalof $5,06,000 &tock in the old Oregon Steam Navigation Coui- uny und u concern called the Oreguu Steam- ship Compuny. ‘Thie logul papers in the case nJs0 show that the stockbolders of the latter Compuny woo refused to sell out received but about 46 cents un the dollar under the uppraigement of Mr. Villard, but Messrs. Ains- worth and Heed got par for the full amount of stock which'they held. The stockholders pat- urnlly rebelled against this, but they were told 10 13ke that or nutbing. Itisalso asserted that the books of the Orgzon Steam Navigation Com- piuy show that the earnings of the Company ot 1h6 time it went out of existence were such a3 per share or ‘pany were placed on the New York market, and they rose rapidly in value. Lust week thé . Press made the exclusive announcement that the Company had authorized the issue of 3,000,000 more of stock, so that Mr. Villard and his friends bave increased to $18,830,000 the cap- jtal of the original company, which amounted 1o but $5, . The sppurént success of Mr. . Villard in‘this great scheme has made him one of the most noted speculntors of the day. He has the reputation of making all bis triends rich, and they furnish him mogey blindly whenever he asks it. In the late venture fn Northern Pacifie it s said ne sent word to his rriends that he wanted $8,000,000 cash, out he refused positively to suy what he intended to do with the money. In tbree days he bud checks for $12,000,60v, And he imunedintely set out to buy the controliing interest in the Northern Pa- eific. Its capitul stock of $100,600,000 bad no terrors for him, and If he is now temporarily burrassed in the gizantic enterprise his contl- aential fricnd: do not believe that o will fail. The actual owners of the Northern Pacitio Raii- rosd are, however, of an entirely different oplnion. * Z NEW JERSEY CENTRAL. Bpectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tridune, New YORK, March 26.—* You oan say,” said an insldzr-on Wall strect to-day, ‘‘that the Westora outlet of the Jersey Central Road is de- tormined. The rovto will be by the Jersey Cen- tral, from Jersey City to Tamunend, by the Reading from Tamancad to Willlamsport, and by the Pennsylvanis Low Grade from Wiillams- port to Red Bank. From Red Banka line will be built seventy miles, to connect with the At- iantic & Groat Western Road at Youngstown, O. The Iino will also connect at Emporium, on the Low Grade Road, with the Buffalo, Phil- adelphin & New York Roall, which gives a Ime to DBuffulo, as well as to points West. The establishiment of this route gives the Jersoy Central a road shorter than tha New York Central, and to be compured favor- ably with the Erie and Pennsylvanin Roads. it has the easiest grades of any trunk line crossing tho Alleghenies. Tho Peansylvania Company built ‘the Low-Grade line at an expense of something like §10,000,000. They offered the use of this line to the Jersey Central Roud before the Wabash J)coplu came into the Directory of that road, but coupled -with the offer the demand that the Jursey Ceatral should bar_the Dnltimore & Oblo’ Roud from its line. This the Jersoy Central refused to do, and 80 the negatiations were nbandoned. Now, bow- ever, tho Baltimore & Ohio Road _is d to have a line to New York, and the Pennsylvaala Rond does not stipulate that the Jersey Central shall show the Baltimore & Ogio no favors. 1t thinks, wisely, that it bad botter muke a favora- ble arrangement for the use of its line than to compel the building of a new road from-Will- %amsport west. ‘This would certaialy bave beea done had not the Pennsylvaniz Road beea wiiling to maké s permanent tratfic ar- rangementupon favorabloterms, As the matter stands, it i desirable for all partles. Jersey Central gets a Western'autlet, Reading valuable connections, which -are to ba stilt further ex- tended, the Ponnsylvania Road» good customer, the Atluntic & Great Western a large traliic, and the Wabash a dircct Eastern outlet. The exten- sive system of ronds in which Mr. Sency is inter~ ested will, it is sald, start from Youngstown, and they may be idontified with the new trunk line.” THE KANSAS CITY MEETING. .. Tothe Editor of The Chicago Tribune. KaxsAs CITy, Mo., March 20.—A meeting of repregentatives of all lines running east from Kansas City was held at the office of S. K. Hooper, General Passenzer Agentof the Han- nibal & $t. Joseph Road, in this clty to-day, to consider the matter of rates. This was made necessary by the cutting which bas been going on for the past moath, both to Chicago and St Louls, the butk of It being on through tickets to seaboard points. It.was nt lust voted, for the sixth time, to maintain the rates established at the Chicago meeting in January. EAST-B80UND FREIGHTS. There .has been 2 large falling off in the froight shipments to the East during ‘the past week. , The total shipments of flour, grain, and provisions by the_six eastern pool lines were but 29,000 thos. . The week previous the ship- meiits amoiinted to 48,23 tons, a falling off of | Jarge decrease {g in a great 72 tous, This Jar mensure due 1o the snow blockade that pre- valled. 1n .this. section at the beginnimg of tho week and the consequent dilliculties in handling fre.ght. The embargo from snow vn the East- ©ern roads was of small nromeat, and_the snow along the variouslines did :not laterfere thuch ‘witb the free running of the traing butthe jce.around the various treight-bouses blocked un the'entrances to such an extentthat teams found ‘It very troubfesome to tuke away the freight that had ‘accu- malated there, . and nu pew business couid be recelved. This emvargo still exists, and continues to embarrass the roads greatly. Be- sides, the Western roads, or most of them, were unuble to transfer frefght during the first days of the week. to’ the nearness of the opéning of navigation, business will not become beups of snow and asbrisk na it was a.month or_ iwo 8go, but as soon ng the snow blockades and the embargoes at the freight-houses have been removed, the roads will' be aole to make a bettor showing than they have done during’ tno past week. There I3 ‘more business now offering than the roads are able to handle with their present facilities. It is now certain that no luction in rates will be made before tho end of April, a8 the roads expect a late opening of naviga- tion, and thersfore expect to be a%lu to com- mand g guod business until that time at the present rates.

HANNTBAL & ST. JOE. The annual report of the Hannibal &5t. Joe Railroad tor the year ending Dec. 81, 1880, which. has just been issued, is a document of which the managers may werl feel proud. The success achleved during the year has been phenomenal. The road has been greatly improved under its present officers in all respects, its business vast- Iy enlarged, and its profitableness assured. The earnings were §2,561,300.51; the operating ex- ‘penses, $1,509,770.63, leaving the net earnings, ,251,619.88. The income of the Company aside from the earnings of the road was as followa: Recelpts fromsales of free land, §63,610.18; {ater- est, $0,354.24; toral, $69,064.42. The expenditures on construction and equipment were $142,417.78. The road has no loatinz debt. The road owned and opeiuted i3 as follows: Haunibal to St Joscph, malo line, 206 miles; Bt. Joseph to Atchigon, extension of mala line, 19 miles; Cam- eron & Kasas City Brauch, 53 miles; Palmsra & Quincy Branch,13 miles; mAking the total lenwth of main track 291 miles. During the year twenty-cight miles of track have been laid with steel, making an_aggregzate of 205 miles of steel-rail track; T0,112 cross ties have ulso been put in. The 3,000 tons cf steel rails which it is intended to purchase during 1881 will leave no iro1 ratls in the track between Quincy and Kansas City. A large amount of work has been done on the equipment in the way of rebullding and lm- proving it, In addition to keeping the current repairs up,~zll of which bas been charged to operating expenses. ‘The laud Sales show very favorably; an active demund for lunds contitues to exist, and puy- weuts on coutracts now in force are made promptly.
