Va- cant lots, manufacturing establishments, sailor boarding-houses, and lodging-houses have been drawn on to an exteat that in the aggregate 18 alarmng. The Clark strect gambling dens, the vile saloons on State’ street, and the under- ground dives bave &lso been called upon to stand sponsors for the legal residence. of the frauds who will be used on Tuesday to 2dd to ‘Harrison’s vote.

A GRAND OLD MEETING AT SIEADQUARTERS. The Campaign Comrittee representing the Irish Republic=cs und the Irish ludependents held a largely-attended and very enthusmsne meeting yesterday afternoon at thoir headquar- ters in the Farwell Building. Maj. bioore oc- cupled the chair. There were present by invita- tion Ald. John M. Clark, W. T. Underwocd. ‘Thomas Senuott, and A. C. Hesing. ' After some routine business connected with the ward and precinct organizations, Mr. Clark was loudly calied for. After the applause evoked by his presence had subsided, he made & very brief speech, in which hie thanked his bearers for the honor they‘ had cobferred * on i, and stated that he was giad to mect €0 many Irish Nationalists who had cast their political fate with his. He knew that the organization was busily engaged in closing up the details of the campaign, and he felt sut- jstied’ trom what ho had scen and heard that, on election-day, they would leave no stone in- turned 1o secure the end for which they aimed. He bad 1o _adrice to give other than 10 perse- vere in the work they had undertaken, and he feit assured that, with their help, o unsclfishly extended to him, the Republican ticket would prove triumphant. Loud and prolonied cheering greeted the con- clusion of Mr.Clark's remarks, and many of Those Dresent ombraced the opportunity of yarmly grosplng the hand of their standard- arer. Messrs. Sennott and Tnderwood werc celled on, und in response to the general request they ‘briefly addressed the meetingivery much to the same clfect. £ Michnel ¥ :Auley, £ . A VLIERAN IRISH DEMOCRAT, ‘was the next speaker, and he explained bis rea- sons for departing from thofold. Harrison had willfully and maliciously heaped insults on the Irish race. He had retused as Magistrate of the city to preside at a public meeting cailed in the intcrest of the suffering miltions of Irish people. He had refused as Mayor to telegraph the 8ym- patby of Chicaco to Parneil and the other Irish leaders un the occasion of their trial for an al- leeed sedition. He refused to vote for thaf gallant Irish-American Gen, Shields, the bero of Two wars and a United States Senator from two States. Under tbe circumstances the speaker cnuld ‘mo longer countenance Democracy, He would never vote for Harrlson, and he believed that no Irishman with a drop of loyal, patriotic blood in his veins would have the cowardice to cast his vote for the man who cmbraced every opportanity within_his reach to heap insult and contumely on the Irish people. There were loud calls for A. C. Hesing, and in Tespotise to the persistent demands of his hear- ers for a brief ‘1alk. ho mounted the rostram, mmfl that the time had gone by for speech- ACTION, NOT WORDS, WAS WANTED, If his hearers were determined to defeat Car- ter Harrison they must take off thelr conts and ‘work, the work must be done at the polls, and the labor to Le performed was not of the kind hat could be bought for a few dollars. It must e volunteer labor, having for its stimulus the principles underlying the ornization of the Assoclntion. Harrison had the most of the no- lice athis beek and call. He bad the appoint- muent of all the specicl police,—and thoy wero an uporganized mob, subject 1o noither law nor control. . The Republicans bad nelther mar- shals, polive, nor constables. They Were power- less except in so far as ench Republican would do his'duty at the polls, and see that the fuil vote was broughtout. Tho- Suuday” morning after Harrison was elected Chairman of the Democratic Campaign Committee last fall. the-speaker had vecasion to ¥isit him ut bis Ashland avenuc residence. Af- ter they had discussed the subjees which caused tho visit, the speaker told Harrison that be had made n mistake, which if persisted in would heavily recoll upon him. He was Mayor of the entire vity and tor all citizens, Democrats and Jtepublicans alike. Rarrison replied that it made no difference, a8 b was BOLND-TO CARRY THE XLECTION. | Mr. Hesing then remarked that he had under- stood that the Democrats had threatened to .eapture the polis, and he asked Harrlson if it ‘were true. The Mayor replied that such was his intendon, and be bad determined todoso. He would instruct the police to keep the Democrats in tine, and the Republicans must go to the rear. Subsequent events proved that he had en- deavored to carrs out his threats, and when one of. his policcmen got into ditticulty and was urought before Judge Drummond, it took the pleadings of the entirc City Law Department to et tho poor fellow diséba Harrison was desperate. He kpew that his defeat mow wus_a_ political funeral for which . ho would furnish the corpse, and he would £iicx at nothing to carry hispoint. He was sup- ported by all the gumblers. plckpockets, thieves, and pimps in town, by all the dangerous classes of ‘socicty, and 10 enjoy a continuance of tho Ppast two years' iminunity they would giadly ©Obey any mandato that might emanate from him or his campalgn commiitee. He aad his hench- men were endeavoring to set the saloonkecpers Ly the ears. The respecuble saloonkeepers Xknew that it wouid be to their benefit to bave the dives and disreputable drinking-bouses suppressed. They wanted no connection with saloons that were used as a cover for the most infamous practices, and i would do everything fn thewr power to ki them wiped from the face of the earth, and sll good cltizens would gladly cojperate with therm. the meeting. arenot a unit in favor of Harrison. 8 mutual understanding exist © [Prolonged applanse.] Mr. Hesing again urged the Campalgn Com- mittee o sec o it that the best obtainable ma- cbinery-for work at the polls was on hund bright and early Tuesduy morning, and If they ouly did their duty, John M. Clark would be elected the next Masor of Chicago by : majority of 7,000, A. L. Morrison then made a stiring appeni to . and urged thom not to’ forget the insults which had been ueaped on the Irish race by Carter Harrison. . VOLUNTEER TICKET-PEDDLERS were then called for, and over 300 names were reported. After the transaction of some minor routine business, the Committce adjourned. to meet Monday afternoon at 8 o'clock. The Executive Collxlmkfflee will meet this afternoon at 2: o'cloc! GOOD READING. THE POLICE They fear the possible efect of the passage of Senator ‘White's bill for taking the control of thé Police and Tire Departments from the Mayor and wrning itover to a Bourd of Potice and Fire Comumissioners to be_appointed by the Gov- cruor. +As the State Executive is Republican, the Republicuns will have a majority in the Board, und the police tear the Commissioners will not forget to properly recompense any policeman or fireman who steps out of the strict linc of his officiul duty to give ald or comfort 1o the Harrisou ticket. - The judges of election, 1he Republican challengers, and ali Joversof a squarc and talr clecton are invited to keep close wateh of the actions of the police, and whenever they find one who is too officlous, take his numbver and name and carefully file it ‘away for future reference. The police officer who re- stricts bis duties to the preservation of the peace need have no fears for tenure of his of- tice, but ho who interferes on bebalf of any can- didate might better take immediate steps to se- cure another situation. THEY KNOW THEY'RE GONE. Very little remaius 1o bo done to close up the campaign, and manyof the managers will to-duy tuke a rest after theirarduous [abors of tne past two weeks. A very marked incrense of cnthu- sinsm was noticed at Repubfican headquarters, zrowing out of the greatly-improved returns of the outlying wards,” The Irish dcfection from tho Democratie ranks, Is growing like u prairie tire, and the movemeut bus now reached such a proportion as to strike terror_to the hearts of the Harrisonian munagers. Many of them were yesterduy engaged in patroling the Irish wards, With the hope of stemming the tide herc and there, and resculng 2 Democratic voter from the tlood. Their etforts were not productive of much success, and the reports they brought to the Democratic headquarters and secretly con- vesed to the junta 'In Room 46 Palmer House were far from reassuring. The printing and other bills contracted by thio “ Great Unknown ™ poured inta the headquartersin a perfectstream, and at 2 O'clock there wus a Macedonian_cry for pecuniary assistance. Wordwas passed along. the line 1o the City-Hall, and the edict went forth that tho cify empioy6s must stand an as- sessment. “This will be cheering news to the men of the Police and Fire Departments, and also to the clerks and ‘Inborers employed in the Board of Public Works. TUE WEST TOWN BOARD met last evening and passed the following: WHEREAS, "A question has arisen ns t0 the au- thority of the West Town to pny the judges and clerks of election; therefore, be it Resolved, That it be the sense of the West Town Board that such judges and clerks of clection as may act as such April 5 for the West Town in such election be puid, and that the matter of appropriation for samo be referred to the annual town meeting April 5, and the Supervisor and Town Clerk be hereby authorized to communicate the same to the anpuai town mecting, and nsk {ts concur- rence in the same, and request that such appro- priaton be made. Jt is conceded that the clerks and judges de- servs compensution, and there is littic doubt but what the town meeting wlll make provision for it, 5 THE WEST TOWN CANDIDATES met yesterday at 221 West Madison Street.

Most of the Republican notaries were sworn In yesterduy. Those who were not are requested Tocall at beadquarters to-morrow merning at 10 o'clock and receive their commissions. Ald.

Justice Morrison's rerp)y to Carter Harrlgon, in the matter of Bailiff Whalen (one of the Mayor's appointees), hus been prepared, and will appear in THE TRIBUNE Of to-morrew. The pressure of advertismg and telegraphic news prevents its ‘publication in this issue. Harrison's personal organ took some .pains yesterday to announce with a great flourish of trumpets that B. P. Hutchinson will vote for Carter Harrison. | Mr. Hutchinsou has generally been & Democrat? he voted for Carter two years #g0, but will not do 0 this time, 08 his residence isin Hyde Park, and that entcrprising suburb bas not yet been absorbed by the city, The 'artistic monument to.the memory of Carter Harrison, erected under the auspices of tho Irisk Nationalists, and on which ig eograved in lurge lotters tha record of his insults to the Irish _race, ornaments every dead wall in town. It is a source of sore grievance to _tho bruuuli: disposed retainers of the “ Best Mayor.” Friday cven- 1ng as Thomas Walsh, 4 young mau living on the corner of Wells and White streets, was circulat- some of the “monuments” as dodgers, he wasuttacked by & mob of street-cleaners and so badly pounded and bruised that he was unable to leave his home yeste: ‘The character of Harrladn's adherents is best stown by a littic epfsode which occurred last cvening at the eust cnd of the Madison_street bridge. A youhg . man named - Charies Huck ™~ was enzuged in _distributing _circu- lars showlng up Hariison, when he wns appronched by one of Carter's employ6s Who resides in tho Eightn Ward. The Harrison buliy tirst cndeavored to buy Huck out, but he wouldu't sell. A minute or two later two other roughs came up, and then violently assaulted the poor fetlow. Huck called for assistance, and quite o crowd gathered, Ofiicer Hickey soon came upon the scene, but the scoundreis mad left suddenly. Huck' was pretty badly bunged .up, and tic says thut he will prosceute bis assail- ‘ants. The ubove incident shows to what des- peration the Harrison faction is brought. CLARK STREET DENS. NO DMPROVEMENT. Although the detectives, acting underinstruc- tons of his Honor the Mayor, have succeeded in ipducing the kecpers of the State street saloon-brothels to run at Jow pressurc for a fow dnys, so that the edge may be taken frum the public fndignation which recent events upon State street have aroused, there has been but littlo if any jmprovement upon Clark street. A visit mado o that thoroughtare yesterduy éven- ing showed that the attentions of tho police officers had been purely local in their applica- ton; they had visited State strect because of tho cxcitement whica had been aroused concerning its disgraceful con- dition; thoy left Clark street alone because the ‘public attention had not been specially drawn to its almost equally immoral status. _All that wus_necessary to have Clark street pluced under police surveillance was for some oflicer to ** blunder,” as Oticer Bold did, and, by arresting some of the cnild-prostitutes Wwho occupy its low places, to attract public at- tentlon to the street’s condition. There was very little fear of this happening, however, ns long ns the strect was being patrolled by such d iscreet representatives of tho city's police force as onc who came under a TIIBUNE re- porter's notice vesterduy evening. The re- porter, after visiting u aozen of the concert- rooms, which he found crowded with younyg men and prostitutes, maay of the latter ‘mere chil- dren in years, walked down the street n_short distance behind a policeman, The sidewalk was lined with street-walkers, who solicited passers- by right under the nose of the officer, who paid 1o attention” whatever to the breaches of [publie decency which were constantly occurring. Wuen between Vun Buren and Harrison strects the officer suddenly disappeared into one of the vilest dives on the east sidc of the strect. Tho reporter watched bis movements after be hod entered the pluce, not without the hope that ho had 1mude up his mind to emulate the example of Officer Bold #nd arrest some of its female fne mates. The officer walked boldiy up to the bar and looked sternly at the barkeeper, who litted a bir whisky-bottle from under the counter, and ilipped 2 tumbler beforo tho officer, who poured vutabout three finwers of the lquorand tossed itolr with great relish, after which he sinlled pleasautly at the proprietor and walked out upon the street wurain. He had not paid for his drink, and, thougb tbe reporter listened for the remark, the barkeeper falled to remind the ‘ofti- cerot the little omission. It was apparent that between brothrel-keeper and officer in which free drinks on the one_hand and immunity from interfer- ¢nco on tho other formed tho basls of thelr friendly relations. "Tho £pecial bane of Clurk streat fs Its street- whlkers. They last night plied their indecen? vocation without any let or hindrance whatever. A pussenger walking from Adams street to Polk Tecofved by actual count not less than thirty~ three invitudons from as many street-walkers, ‘while from_open windows above vile creaturcs snluted him with solicitations, and, when- be passed by unbeeding, threw after him obscene and profanc indications of thelr disgust at his apathy. Officers were on kand, but they too, probably, bad thoir little understanding wit tho law-breakers; at any rate thoy took ot the slightest notice of what was gofog on. There isno doubt that it would be politic in Mayor Hurrison to have Clark street instructed to bebave itself between now and next Tucs~ duy. He has demonstrated his ability to sup- press the much-complained-of nuisance, and it only a couple of days' respite, is, for political purposes, granted them, the public wil be grateful BORROWED FEATHERS. ‘WXO REDUCED THE WATER RATES. If Carter Harrison wero an nuthor there s scarcely 2 doubt but what he would indulgo i plagiarism, His memory plays fantastlc freaks. Angthing he cace read or heard, and considered very good, he would afipropriate to himself, and subscquently pass out as the product ot his own fertile brain. He, of course, would not do so intentionally, but tho organ of *legitimate as- simllation™ is so largely developéd that.to him “illegitimate appropriation” dogs not exist. Ho and his henchmen for himure takmg great credit foru reduction in the water rates, which has been in force for nearly two yenrs. -Ho says that * my Adininistration did it, and hence I um und always will be tho people’s friend. It Carter had_examined the record, he wouid not have made the bomstful claim: What are the facts? In February of 1879, whilo Monroc Heath was Masor, Ald. Glibert introduced an ordi- nance making a_reduction of 2 per cent In the water tarltf which had been in force since May, 1576. the reduction to tuke effect May I, 16i0. {fho ordinanca wus roferged to tho Judlolur Committee, which, on Mdrch 3, 181, reported it favorubly, and on Apeil 45 was ndopted, thero cing only tive dissenting votos. Ciftar arrison was ot Inucted fntd office until April 23,1870, twenty-four days after the pussage of the ordinance; and when it was first proposed by Ald. Gilbert Mr. Huarrison' was not even-thouwcht of ash Mavorl candidute. 1t would now be very becomtng for Mr. Harri- son to give the credit for the reduction of the water rates to whom it of right belongs, and not appropriate 10 himself gonds to which he hus no ownership either in law, equity, or xood morals. He may after election. . THE SOUTH SIDE. i FIFTH WARD. The Democrats tried to get up a meeting Fri- ‘day night at Finucan's hall, in the Fifth Ward, —heretofore their stronghold,—and tailed. . Last night the Republicans beld one there, and over 300 voters were present, most of them Irishmen and Democrats, but supporters of Mr. Clark: George Holt presided. and Jumes Hogan, 2 Dem- ocrat, acted as Secretary. Speeches were made Dby Ald. Clark, who was very warmly recolved; Charles E. Piper, A. L. Morrison, State's-Attor- ney Mills, John ttaber, Michael Healey (a Demo- criut), Gen. Mann, aud John Forsythe. N ‘When Mr. Forsythe, who is well known in the ward, was introduced, there wus much clapping of hands and stumping of feet, and what he suid bad great cffect. as his sentiments wero cn- thusiastically received. He Leguu by saying” thut he simply wanted justice done to Mr. Har- rison Tuesday, aud then .procceded to answer the question Why shall a change be made in the Muyorulty? It could safely be sald that they hoped to do better; they could not do wolse. [Applause.] He had known Mr. Harrison ever since he bad b in Chicago, and kuew himn to be u shrewd politician, baving made politics his business. He tried to get the German votes by pretending to be a German, telling them thut he had sent bis wifa abroad in order that her baby might bave a German nurse, .and thus get some German blood into its body. To the Bohemiaus he.was a Bohemian; to the Temperance men he Was & temperance mun, His temperance friends got up & movement and tried to arouse the saloonkeepers against Clark, while other friends told them that Harrisod was their friend, and it they would work for his elec- tlon ho would protect them. When it was fotind out who were back of that movement the bub- ble burst. Harrison also pretended to be a friend of the lrish, and said his boy should marry an Irishgirl. The speaker told about his re- fusal 1o preside at the Parnell meeting, and saiq that be hadn't told the truth at Central Hall the other night when he sald that the Committe who invited bim had set a trap to., catch him. Hurrison lied when he said he didn't koow what the object of tho meeting was. He know be had kilted himself politically and sent some of his employés to the Committeo and asked that he be allowed to apologize. Then he suid he would go to the meeting and make a speech if he had to be carried outon s sbutter. He went wearing a slouch bat, and slunk under tho stairway, but did not say moything. [Ap- plausc.] 3r. Forsytne said Hurrison's stitement that ne(Forsythe) was opposing becnube he rafled to get the Controllership was a falsehood. The minissioner of Public Works was offered to Michael Keeley, but bo couldn’t take it on ac- count of his business affairs. Harrison sald no other Irishman in the city was competent_ to fill it. The - speaker offered to withdraw if John MedManon was appointed, fn order that an Irish- American might have one of the best offices, tho Irish-Americans having elected Hurrison, Mr. Forsythe then read the letter from him puo- lished elsewhere. In conclusion, ho asked if the reasons given in the letter were not sufficient “for his refugal, s an Irishman, to support Mr. Hurrison. In behalf of good government, in be- balf of morality and the welfare of the city, he asked his countrymen to vote Tuesdny tor Jobn M. Clari and the other Republican candidates, Brcdmflnx that the whole ticket would be elected Y 5,000 majority. [Cheers.} Haviog fufled todoanything in the west end of the Fifth Ward, the Democrats tried to get up o mecting in the east cnd last night, but only ebout a dozen people responded to_the call and went 10 No. K6 Archer avenue. Two or three speakers dmpged in, but, seelng no one to talk to, went off. Surely, the Democrats have **lost their grip " in the Fifth Ward, FOURTIL WARD. The Republicaus of the Fourth Ward held n rousing meeting last evening in Armory Hall, on Indinna avenue. Mr. R. W, Dunhum called the meeting to ordor, and Mr. O. D. Wetherell, * the next Alderman 'of the ward,” wos appotnted Chairman. Mr. John M. Clark, Mr. D. V. Purington, and the Hon Stepben A. Douglas, Jr., delivered teli- | Ing and effective speeches. which were necessa~ rily brief, owing to the fact thet the gentlemen had to attena another meeting. ¢ Mr. Joun:Forsythe, formerly a Democrat, rend an open letter to tho Irish voters, which is printed elsewhere. He exp.essed his conviction that, if no fraudulent votes were cast, Mr. Clark would be elected by a majority of 5000, He drew attention to the fact that in the Eighth Ward 3,000 moro votes were registered now than last fall. He ctarged Harrison with beiug the greatest demagog that ever came to Chicago. He (Harrison) was all things to all men, but next Tuesday he would tind his political grave. The spenker predicted the triumphant election of the entirc Republican ticket. Col. Thomus Cratty, being loudly called for, came forward and premised a vers able speech by saying that he was borna Republican. His fither and grandfather kept stations on the Underground Railrond, and he was glad that be belonged to a party that from the moment of its ihception till the prosent had neyer uttered one word In favor of slavery or oppression in any form in any purt of the wide world: a party that hud reseucd the Nution when it was threatened with distupoon; had rescued it again last fall, and In a few days would rescue this city, Every fond parent, Be said, had mear his heart one darliug sentiment, ana that was that vice and imnmorality should not run riot in our streets,— that their children should not be enticed to their ruin. If the present Muyor could not or would (ot enforce tha laws he ought to step down and out and let some unc clse try. Mr. Ceutts's re- marks were very enthusinstically recetved. The mecting wos a 'representative. one in every re- speet. The hall was well filled, a large number ot business-men being present, THE WEST SIDE, DOWY ON ILARRISON. There is an Irish revolution against Carter H. Harrison in the Eighth Ward. There never was such an uprising and seceding from the De- mocracy ns was evidenced by a meeting held last night. The Seventh Precinet of the Eighth Ward is known s one of the Demoeratic strong- Bolds, and its action is Indicative of the whole of that district of tho city. There wasun Irish- American Republican meeting called at P. Gal- lngher’s place, corner of Polk and May streets. Everybody supposed that it would be a suc- cess, but no onc dreamed that it was to be, so tospeak, an enthusiastic outpouring. The hall was too small by one-fourth to hold the people. 3r. John MeGinniss, a life-long Democrat, was'’| called to preside. Col. Theedore H. Stemming was the first speaker. As a German Republican be felt that the Germans had a great jnterest in the commg election: They wanted & éhange and reform in tho Administration from that under Carter H. Harrison, who erroneously styled himself the best Muyor Chicago ever had. The Germans ue with him upon that point. He 00} had done his best to make snloonkeeping dishonorable. He had licensed the lowest and most degraded places, rerardless of - tko conse- uences. Col. Stemming brietly went over Har- rlsou's incousistent course, and. showed hin: up in anything but u favorable light. : John F. Seanian next enlightened the people upon Harrison’s course in connection with Irish voters. He stigmatized Carter_usa liar, and showed'how he had Insuited Irishmen upon every oceaslou, and concluded by _sayl that every Irish' vote glven jor Carter H. Hurrison was g “dircet fnsult 1o the great ana holy cause .represented and led by Jobn Stuart Parnell, A. 3. Sullivan. and other Irisl patriots now ' advocating the cause of poor, downtrodden Jreland. = % ir. John . Clark, when bo came into the hall, was loud!y cheered and called for, and he made a brief and interesting speech, promising to do bis best for the people of this city if elected. D. V. Purington, Jumes_H. Gilbert, Tom Sen- nott, and W. T. Underwood followed. The meet~ g broke up with three hearty, rousing cheers forClark and the entire Republicamrticket. THE 'SCANDINAVIANS. y A large and eothusiastic meeting-of the Scandinavian vaters of the northwestern por- tlon of the city was held last evening, under the auspices of the Fourteenth Ward Republican Ciub, at Aurora Turner Hull. The speakers ud- dressed those present in thelr native tongue, and therz were frequeut bursts of hearty applause, ns some foreible point was brought out.” Coro- ner C. R. Matson made o telling speech, In which hediscussed the merits of the varions candl- dates and pointed out reusons why the Scandi- navians _should cast their ballots for | Ald. John M. Clark Tor Mayor next Tuesday. Col.© Jacobson and the well-known ‘Scandinavian Republican, John R. Boysen, nlso addressed the meeting. Later In the evening the candldates were !gresemcd. and a hearty recoption was accorded them. THE FRENCH REPUBLICANS OF THE FOUR- TEENTII WARD beld a large meeting last evening in Gustav's Hall, No. 663 Milwaukeo avenue. -fustice Gustav Demars set the ball rolling with an clewant speech {n the French danguare, polnting out the fgsues_of the present cumpaign and showing that the election of a Republican Mayor this spring was a necessity to all law-abiding and peace-loving citizens. He was frequently fater- rupted by bursts of applause, and considerable enthusiasm was manitested. Victor Gerardin and August Fauré also nddressed tke meeting. | OTHER MEETINGS. i A largely attended Republican mecting was beld last night in tho Fifth Preciuct of the Eighth Ward, at Henry Koh!'s place, 815 Halsted streer, and it was the first epublfcan meeting ever held in the precinct.

The attendance was not only very large, but the eutbussm displayed was wholly in accord with the size of the gathering. Mr. A, C. Arck was chosen as Chalrjan. Mr. Peter Buschwah was the first speaker, and fodowing him came Mr.. John C. Barker, both gentlemon advancing uranswerable arguments to show how the defeat of Harrison meant the overthrow in_ Chicago of the immorality, crime, ‘and vice = which now hold sway here, and also to show that Mr. Clark was a gentletoan who would administer to be wants of the respectable people, and not court favor with the blacklegs. Just as Mr. Barker concluded his specch Mr. ARC. Fesing appearcd, and was greeted with lodd cheers and applause. There were loud calls for ** Hesing,"” und the gentleman promptly responded. He spoke for over half an hour (in German, us the sathering was Jargely made up of Germans), aftd wns repeatedly sccorded en- thusiastic bursts of applause.

HARRISON NEARLY AT THE LAST GASP. The Democrats of the city, under the lender- ship of Mayor Harrison, made a desperato effort last evening to endalifeless campaign with seeming glory, and to enthuse the rank and tile of the:party and prepare thom for work at the polls Tuesday. . McCormick Hall had been se- cured for the occasion, and 8 band-wagon had paraded the stréets all duy ndvertising that Mr. Harrison would' speak his last plece, which served to draw,,forth an audlence of fulr size, composed largaly, howover, of city cwployés, and persons who expeet to be employés in the remote event of **Our Carter’s™ reclection. ‘The affair yns purcly Hurrisonian, for his Honor wus not only Chairman of the gathering, but bad to intrcduce himself. Chairs bud been arrunged on the platform for * distinguished guests,” but when Mr. Harrison emerged from a side-door they were empty. He was soon Jolned, bowdver, by Gen. Lict and a few other city employés, and. us a restraining intluence over the orator of the evening, und to prevent, if possible, the repetition of the vulgarism with ‘which his specches buve abounded of late, cm:‘lu.dlcs had been invited, and were seats, . Mr. Harrison commenced his speech by re- viewing his persoual bistory for twenty-six years, und by denying that he bad ever been o trequenter of gumbling houses or houses of ill- fame. He had determined, be went on to say, 1o close up the gumbling houses, but tnding that he could not he had succecded in foreing them into the heurt of the eity where his police could watch them,—which they do not do. Follow- ing this movement he had driven the prostitutes oft the streets,—which he has not done,—and had threatened to “pull” the_ houses barboring them, but had not done jt. His great ambition had been to suve the puloic money, and whoever 8 thut he was the couwsort of thieves lied. While Ald. Clark was elecHoncering ho was at work for the city, and the people ught to keep him in office. They owed it to him to give him un opportunity to satisfy 'his mmbition. He did not want the: office, but it hud been forced upon bim; but in_ the mext breath he said he was anxious for it, and would never be content until he bud whipped the newspapers; and the people arose in their might and called him tho *“Model Mayor.” He was tho best- Abused man in the world, he said, and, to show that ho was, read from o paper o dispatch which he pretended to have sent to Ireland, expressing sympathy for Davitt and Purnell, which was #rected with bisses, it being well known that it was a bid for the votes of the Irish people. Further on ho referred to his refusal to pre- stde at the Parncli mecting, and endenvored to explain ‘his position; but it was the old, old story, and tov trapsparent for credence. = He had refused to preside, he said, becauser he could not as “Mayor.” |A volce—" Didn't you Justsay you telegraphed ns Mayor?”] He did Tot stop to unswer the questiom, which was too much for him, but ftook up the Gen. Shiclds matter, and tried to®xplain that, but with no better success, frow the fact that the records were against him. He closed with a piteous appenl for votes. which he nap- ’andd t0 be sensibly impressed he would need uesdny. His speech was not up 6 the standnrd he hus recently adopted; awing to the presence of a few ladies. He did not defend prostitution with his accustomed vigor, and much that he hus beretofore ‘snid nbout gnmblers and the luw dives was also omitted. In fnct, the specch was scarcely recognizable, except that it wus one of defenso and self-praise throughout. CORRESPONDENCE. A DISGUSTED POLICEMAN. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. CHICAGO, April 2.—As u member of the Police Department I address you. I have been con- nected with the department -efght years past, and duriog that time there "has been some de- cency in the department, but during’ the last two years thore has been nothing in the police but drunkenness and debauchery, tho worst I have ever scen. and the pets of the present Ad- winistration can do as thoy please, while tho de- cent men, who have some respect for themselyves, and wish to do their duty, are not noticed. The man who cun_drink the most whisky and blow for Aarrison s tho mun who ean do as ho pleases. Those men have done no duty for two months} but are out in citizens' clothios around the sa- loons, drinking whisky and electioncering fur Hurrison. The decent men in the force are ashamed of this, and want a change of some kind. Glve us a Board of Police Commissioners it nothing better cun come~nuything for chauge. For the last month our stations stink with the smell of whisky from the breath of those bummer policemen. It is a disgruce to every decent man in the force. Any change ‘will be for the better. A POLICEMAX. THAT BRASTED ECONOMY. To the Edllor of The Chicago Tribune. Cn1cAGo, April 2.—I desire through your pa- per to'call the attentlon of the voters of the city to some of the errors that have crept into the public mind in regard to Mayor Harrison's seemwing cconomy in the administration of the affairs of the city. 3 ® While it I8 trug that he haf cut down theex- penees by withholding the mouney that hrs been appropriated forpumping-works and other pur- Rojes; and has compelled the firomon aud po- icttusubmit to asmall reduction of their meagre sularies, and has hoarded the money which ought to have gune, to purposes of cleanliness and healtb, be bas also allowed tho dens of vice, corruption, and immorulity to open and fiourish all over the city, by means of whick our County Jall, Bridewell, 2nd Poor-House have'been titled 1o overtlowing, and through the means of which Ihe county expenses havabeen largely increased. There pre now two CrimMal Courts running, yet the County Jail has never been Slled asitis now. And, while we mny think therc i3 sume economy. io the affairs of the city, if we look beyond we soe the county exnense is necessarlly largely in- crensed on -gccount of the vast increase of criminal, pauper, and asylum expense entailed upon us by this sume apparent economy of the . clty which will Iast many years, and tho expense 0 the morals of the community will last long after many of us shall bave passed away. 1t secins to me that every voter, and cspecially those with families and relatives, and every tax- payer should cousider well before casting his Yoic to contjnue the present Administration longer in power. Never in the history of Chi- engo has crime stalked forth with such brazen effrontery a8 during the past two years, und [t is continually growing ivorse. Sbould the present Administration be continued two years the city will bo morally bankruf®. By all means letus have o change. It cannot ‘worse,_and we hope it may do much good. VoTeR, OUR CANDIDATE FOR CITY-ATTORNEY. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune. . CnICAGO, April 2.—A few 'years 2go a young lawyer of our city picked up on Wabash avenue o prekage containing n- number of uncut dia- monds of the value of $23,000. The owner, a diamond broker nearly crazed by the loss, ad- vertfsed-it In tte papers offering n largo rewsrd for their return. The young Inwyer, séeing the advertisement, sought out the owner, and upon bélug sntisfied the dinmonds belonged to him, promptly honded them over. The owner thunk- g him, offered him s a reward one of them, but the youygy lawyer courteously declined to aeccept it, Fny% that though the proceeds of the ainmond'thus offercd would indeed prove very acceptibls, yet belioving conscientiously that he had not rendered s service equivalent, and deeming it only honest to place him in posses- slon ot his own. no must decline to accept the proffered reward. 2 We remember one of our papers in noticing the same, remarked: * If the young lawyer had doue this fn St. Louls he would have been can- onized at once.” This young lawyer was Will- fam T. Underwood, whom the Republicans of Chicago have nominated us their candidate for City-Attorney, and, If elected, there need be no fear of such an one betraying the contldence of his supporters. X Y. Z. A DUSINESS-MAN FOR JMAYOR. To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune, CRICAGO, April 2.~What Chicago wants isa man at the head of her Government who has been raised to business—not to politics. Such an one is John M. Clark, and such an one is not Curter H. Harrison. The latter has not been reaised to business,—nobody advocates his clec- tion for his qualities as a business-man. He is shnply a wily politician, just the kind produced at the South under the old slave régime, where labdr was not considered respectable. Such men are of little value in the progressive nceds of our Northern cirles. It is amazing bow these men from the ex-Slave States can worm themselves {nto office, simply by means of their blurney. Harrison is said 10 be rich. Did ho get it by establisbing factories or any business enterprise? I have never heurd of his doing anythiug of the kind. What has he done toentite him to the gratitude of Chicago? Do we owe n_man anything who comes here and buys {ots, which he dun’t improve, but sits down 1o wait their rise from the building up of others' property ndjoining? This has been the practice of scores from Kentueky, but I fail to call to mind but a few who have done ansthing to bg“d [up enterprises to nugment the business of the city- Harrison {8 nothing more nor less than a poli- * tictan of irrepressible wind. Of all the cities In the realm, this Is the one which hns no use for such u_oncat the head of its affairs. He could huve no support were it not for the political bius of his followers. The men who bear the heavy burdens of taxation, and are meking this city noted for its grand achlevements, aro_not bis supporters. But the same caouot be said of the disreputable class which naturally gravitiges toward the word Democrat, ns a_duclc 1o water. It does not seem possible that this man can b saddled upon us for anorhor term. PROGRESS. BAR ASSOCIATION. It Proposcs to Investizate the Police Methads of Unlawful Arrest and De- tention. . A meeting of the Bar Association was held yesterday at Fairbank Hall, in the Central Music-Hall building. The Association w: 2 long time getting together, and pre® vious to the business meeting an informal discussion was hud amorg the eight or ten who bad gathered as to the best means of arousing some interest on the part of the mem- bers of the Association in its dologs. The ex- Seerctary . of the Association stated that during the cighteen months he served in office there werc only two occa- sions,. outside of the annual mectings, when a quornw had been present, and at several of the meetings only a couple of members bad put in an appearance. He had heard it stated that the apathy of many of the members was duc to the fact that certain lawyers with whom they did not care to associute had been admitted to thoe Associaticn. . Another member thought that the Assoclation ooly needed some comfortable rooms, with mug~ azines und ofther enjoyable features, to insure the attendance.of mewbers. Another suggested that jf the Association would {naugurate proceedings to oust a certain lawyer from tho Bar, the proceedings would be calculated to arouse intercst. The regular eeting organized with Mr. Jew- ett us Chafrman. Mr. Collins offered for membership the name of John W. Huston, who was vouched for by Johu A. High 2nd C. C. Bonney. On motion, Meszrs. Hoyne, Sherman, Bradley and Collins were appointed a committee to ascertain wheu the room to be set ‘aside in tho new Court-House for the Bar Association will be ready for occupation. 5 Mr. Gozgin offered the following resolution: WiEREAS, A practice is sald to_exist to a greater or less extent in the Police Department of Cnicago to arrest without a warraut persons snspected of having commltted crime, to place such persons in prison, aud detain them for sev- eral days without charging ,them with the com~ mission of any crime, or buvng na fnvestigation before u Magistrate as provided by law, Resolved, That the Committeo on Grievances be requested to report to this Association to what exten, If at all, such practices ure carried on, and to report a remedy against the evil, if found to exist. - =7 In presenting the resolution Mr. Goggln said that it was thé duty of the Assoclation to look into the matter. He bud bad occasion lately to visit 2 mup who had been locked up in the Arm- ory. He wus not allowed tosce him,%nd was -informed that he had been locked up without being booked. It wus quite common at present for the police to arrest people on genernl prin- ciples, and boys nnd girls had been actually driven to the commissfon of crime by the po- lice. He knew of one boy who had served a term {n the Bridewell without having commit- ted-uny offense. At present a police oticer appointed to the force on nccount of skill in stufling baliot-boxes. It was as much theduty of the Bar Associntion to protect tho liberty of citizens as to look after the improve- ment of Iaws alfecting property, and he hoped the faw would pgss. The Chalrman of the Committee on Grievances ‘complnined thut the resolutions proposed to place a very onerous duty upon the Committee which it would not care to undertake, Mr. Collyer said that he believed what Mr. Goggin had said was true, and that the resolu- tion ought to pass. Judge Bradwell snid that the evil of which Mr. Gogzin complained bad been in practice in;this community for at least a generation. It was in the interest of justice that cvery man who iwas arrested should have a chance of proving hisin- nocence. He was In fuvor of the resolution. The resolution was adopted and the meeting t adjourned. —— SMALL-POX, Spectal Dispatch to The Chicago Tyibure. MaLWAUKEE, April 2.—The victim of the case of small-pox reportea last evening is a little child, daughter of a family named Hess, residing at 67t Fourth street.

A Miniature City Erected by a Great Corporation. Formal Opening of the Immense Car ‘Works Yesterday. The Great Corliss Engine and the Work It Will Perform. Somo Faots Ooncerning the - New Town and Those Who Have Built It. Yesterday afternoon at £ o'clock tho haid of a little girl toucned a wheel, the pent-up power of Stcam was relensed, the mighty machinery of the great Centennial Corliss engine moved inre- sponse to the gentle touch, and Chicago's new- est, .and one of tho greatest munutueturing en- terprises, leaped intolife. Thissimple yet im- pressive ceremony warks the inauguration not only of a creat Industrinl movemeat, adding millions to the productive power of Chicago, but also of a socal and sanitary movement alfecting tho lives and fortunes of thousands. It was not only the putting in operntion of az great Industry, Ibut the birth Lof a new city, designed to Dbe =& model in its arrangements for the welfare of its citizens. As such the event of yesterday descrvesto be chronfcled. ] Thefnauguration of the great Puliman Palace- Car Company's Works at tho new Town of Pull- man was witnessed by » party of zeatlemen, in- cluding the principal ruilroad and financial mag- wates of the Northwest. At 3 o’clock a special train left the Van BurenStreet Station of the Iili- nofs Central Raitroad for the new industrial cen- tro. The train was composed of the private carg of Mr. Ackerman, President of the Illinois Cen- tral Railroud, and Mr. George M. Pullmun. A pleasant rideof half-an-hour’s duration brought the party to the scene, and an fmmediate move was made to the works. Among those who took part in the excursion were the followl: George 3. Pullman, A. B. Pulltan, L. 3. Joba- son, C. . Davie, George F. Brown, George M. Gray, A. S. Weinsheimer, and E. A. Jewett, of the Pullman Palace-Car Company; Poiter Pulmer, Alfred Cowles, J.

THE TOWN OF PULLMAN and the immense works which have been estab- lished there ure located in the Town of Hyde Park, alinost upon tho shore of Lake Culumet. Thirty-five hundred ucres of land have been ne- quired by the ussociadons having these inter- ests in charge, of which 308 ucres are owned by the Pullman Palace Car Company, 3,187 by the Pullman Land Association, und five by the Allen Paper Car-Wheel Manufacturing Company. Work was berun in June last, and, although ob- structed by five months of winter, has been pushed with marvellous rapidity. A year ugo the land was o waste; to-duy it'is covered by immense factories, offices, and _store-rooms, while in immediate contiguity’to the works are the future homes of hundreds of the workmen. The work which has already been completed is of a stupendous character, and yet there re- mains an immense amount to be done. The plaps contemplate the construction of 8hops and factories for tne building and repair- ing of Pullnan palace cars; animmense factory for the accommeodation of the Allen Paper Car- Wheel Company, and the building of stores, oflices, dwellings, schools. hotels, a public library building, a depot, and ull other neccssary con- comitants of u town. In the preparation of the ground for the work, cxcavations and fillings bud to be made for' the purposo of securiug dnl!nnffl and obtaining solid foundations. The labor involved was immense, but the whole work was carefully planned and prepared In advance. Mr.S. S. Beman was emnvloyed as architect and constructor, with the fullest powers. The arrangement of the streets, parks, ‘lifkes, and public grounds was intrusted to o compe- tent'landscape architect; the seweruge and wa- Ler-supply were ull provided for: and the con- struction of the buildings was designed so us to afford at once the perfection of aclommodation for *he industrial necds of the Company and the dowestic and social wunts of the inhabitants of the piuce. Mr. Pullman gave toall these plang the most careful study, arranging details and suggesting” points _of every character, The Wwork i3 yet far from complete, but already ceoough has been done toatford a fulr opportuni- ty of judging Its scope and character, and those who visited Pullman yesterday were n unit in their admiration of what bud beeu done and the ovidences of further improvement, The visiting party proceeded first to THE ENGINE-ROOM, a bullding eighty feet by eighty, sixty feet ia hight, with an {ron truss roof, where the Immenso Corliss englne stood awaiting the toucn which was to set it in motion. This wonderful picee or machinery, built for the Centennial Exposition, formed one of the most interesting feutures of the great Phbiludelphia display, It cost $125,000, and s of 24" orse-power.” The engine is of thestylo of con.. Jction known us the » Corlits beam engine,” and the following will give some Idea of its dimensions anad capucities: . E:!ut.

The crosshend-guides extend rom the cylinder-cover 1o the top gallery, and by the side of each guide 18 a screw, by means of which the top cylinder-cover with the valve boxes zun be readily litted so as to zive access tothe piston. This is a very convenientar- raogement. The beams are cast in one plece, the beurings for the main centres of each beam ure carricd by 4 pair of A irames, which also support the top gallery.” The lews of the A frames are sprend 0 that one forms a Stralght connection between the base of the eylinder. the main centre, and the plumber-block for the Hiywheel shaft, and the strains are thus direet); transmitted, and do nat puss through u bed- plute, as Js very commonly tho case with beam- enzines.

The steam to run this powerful muchinery i3 furnished from two nests ol six boilers each, which are six feet in diameter and cighteen feet long. The engincer, Mr. George Barrott, with half o score of assistants, bad polished and prepared this great engine for the work. The visitors ranged themselves ina semi-ci in front of the machine, waiting devetopments, A dainty lit- tle Indy of thirteen summ Miss Florence, eld- est dnugehter of Mr. George M. Pullman, tripped hightly upthe steps nid grasped the smail serew- valve, the turning of_which was to give life to the great cogine. There was a momentary puuse, thon the young girl turned the wheely connected with the valves, of which there are two. In u moment the pistans were seen to move, gently at first but with gradually ucceler- ating’ moton, the enormous fly'wheel begna to revolve, and the wonderful engine was at work. A round of applause greeted the young lndy a3 she stepped down, the Leroiuc of the occasion. The party lingered a few minutes, inspecting the cnglue from various points of view, and thence proceeded on A PARTIAL TOUR OF TIIE WORKS. Tne wonderful senso-of power given hy the great engine was in no whit diminished by a sight of the boiler-room, where the motive force isgenerated. But the Introductiou was worthy of the works nsa whole, and_the visitors wers prepared to tind everything else upon a Fitanie scale.
