It is perhaps not necessary to remind the av- erage citizen that there will be an election throughout Cook County day aiter tomorrow. Aud yet such was the indifference, for awbile at Jeast, of a number of very well-meaning peo- ple—friends ot guod government, but without a due appreciation of the truth that foresight {3 Detter than fpinusight—that, the election might uve come and gone without making sulflicient impression upon them to urvuse them from thelr apathy und bring them te the polls to aid jn the defeat of men whose election they would be the first to deplore. This inditference to an issue of so much importance to the cause of stood government bus largely disappeared, a3 the Lwo weexs’ campaign hus progressed, until now, on the eve of election, the two sides may lee said to be prepared for the approaching contest atthe ballot-box. That there will be u full vote, in the commoniy-accepted sense of the term, 33 perhups not to be expected, but that the turn- out at the pols will be even something more than fair, ezpecially if the weather be in any way favorable. the lively work and the general interest inauifested during the last few days have rendered reasonabiy certain. "Che candidates to be voted for are a Judge of the Superior Court, Clerk of the Criminal Court, und tive County Commissfoners—two from the chy and three frp the country.

As was only fitting, in view of bis long and ac- eeptable service on the bench, Judge Gary re- ccived the unanimous nomination of both party’ conventions.

Jobu Stephens. the Republican candidate for redlection 2s Clerk of the Criminal Vourt, is of Germun descent, though u native of Albany, N.Y. He was a member of the fumous Elis- worth Zovaves, aud afterwards served for turec years and # half in the Nineteenth ilinois, un- lilseverely wounded atthe Battle of Chicku- muuga.

The itepublican voters ure urged to turn out, and overcome uny possibility of a Democratic victory—a disaster by all means to be avoided.

The notaries are to be Sworn in Monday morning at 10 o'clock, und are requested to be on hand. For a wonder, Con Sullivan, of the Fourth District, did not turn up yesterday Friday evening tne po- st Tweltto Street Police st Fs hm Crean’s tickets when they wentont on their eats, and were ordered to distribute them carefuliy. ..

Tye TrpeNe bus been “tothe trouble of looking up the record this mock reformer mude in the City Council, for the purpose of judging by the company he there ‘kept what sort of u record he fs hikely to make in the County Bourd if he suould happen to be elected. ‘Tue record which Fred Sommer made dur- ing the Colvin régimé is not one calculated to rally to his support the business men of Chi- cagu. Tn the Councit whieh beld sway from De- eember, 13+4, until d 18i6, Mr. Sommer rep- resented the Sixth Ward (now Fifth), the city: being then divided into twenty wards. That Council was not an. especially satubrious one, ‘und probably contained a-farzer percentage ot men who were “on the muke” than bad been known since the days of the original and ouly “nineteen.” It was a tine when the “boys” run the City-Hull, and easy-going Mr. Colvin was powerless either to restrain or to guide them. Very few of Chicago's merchants or proverty-owners have yet Torgotten bow near the city was tu bankrupicy in those days, when the luborers on the street were compeiied in April, 1836, to petition for the puyment of their wages due since the previous November, and city warrants went for groceries at 6) cents on the dollar. «in this unreformed and unreformabie body which prulonzed its own -reign until swept out of existence by un exasperated people, and which denied the citizens the rizht to elect their own officers, there were a few choice spirits who formed the power behind the throne and ran things to suit themselves, Uselessand unne sury Ollicials with hich snluries and po were multiplied and flourished at the expense of the taxpayers. The “ sang" was livelier and more puwertul thun ever before. There ts no need to name the Individuals here, for with but one or two exceptions they have been relegated to their native obscurity, and uny-one curious to read over the list can find iti the old records or the fites of the papers. Mr. Sommer gave bis vote, as these records show, with Hildreth, and. ‘Yom Stout, Corcoran, aud ‘Sweeney on about every occusion that the yews and nays were called, : In those days there was 2 good deal of legisla- tion pertaining tw street railroads, very neces- sury and desirable things in a great’ city. But at every turn and twist with regard to street- railroad franchises or levistation, * somehow or otber, whether it was 2 motion to pass or a mo- tion to reject an ordinance. to defer or to expe- dite, the namie of Sommer uppeured in the same column with those of the “gang.” Lt was all the sume to him whether the crowd were in the mit- jority, as they too often were, or in the minuri- ty, 4S occasionally bappened, Sommer stu withthem. There were two things be could al- ways be depended upon for—to vote with tho “gang” and to move to adjourn, or support a motion for that purpose. He supported on Jan. 4, 1875, the scheme fpr a charter clection ‘hich foisted Colvin on the community. election wus curried by ferce and traud, and ted te endless litigation, difficulty, and loss. When it came to # considerntion of the esti- mittes of the City Controller for tho fiscal year ending March 31,1576, when Mr. Hayes was com pelled to recomend the scaling of suluries, the substitution of smmuller burners on the street- lawps, und the nbandonment of ‘all street im- provements, and the cutting down of the school system, a few members of the Council made a gallant effort to retrench expenditures and resture the credit of the city. But, during the daily discussions oa the appropriation bill after it.came from the hunas of the Committee of the Whole, while u handful of cconomists were fighting for the reduction of expenses, tho Aldernian from the (then) Sixth Wurd was not on band, nor did be get around in time to vote on the final pussuze of the bill. But be turned vp at the uext meeting, and thereafter could be found dn ulmust every ocea- sion when a horse-railroad bilt or anything re- Juting to gas was under discussion, voting steadily with the old crowd. ~ When, in Mareh, 1816, the appropriation’ bill for the next year was beme considered, Mr. Sommer was in bis Place ‘and Voted constuntiy with the un-ecouo- inists. lis record further shows that he always per- sistenuy and steadfastiy cast his lot voted with the “gang "—on 36S roll-calls from May, 18i6, to May, 187, be -and Hildreth were always logether—und against the interests of the tax- rs on every question which reluted to the enditures of un office or the retention of rince and corruption in otfive. - ed Sommer was ¢lected as un“ unreform- inember of the Keform Council, which was. called into existence by an“ outraged people in ring of 1s Itz iirst meets was held May Sot that year. and the first question Umut eame up for consideration was the canvass of the votes cast for Mayor. It will be remembered that by ballot-box stulling and jugeling in sev- eral of the wards it wus placed in the power ot the Culvin régiine to declure that the peopie 8, had ‘resolved to -exchange tho old city charter for the “general law relating to municipalities,”" which tad been adopted by the Legislature fu pursuance of the provis- iyns of tho Constitution of 1 ‘The Colvin régime proposed to take advant of the new law and protons itself in power for ‘another |. year, and to clingh tbis determination the outgo- ing Council refused to order an election for Mayor, which it was their moral duty to bavi done. The people took the matter in their own hands, and at the election held April 15 el ‘Thomas Moyne Mayur by u vote of 33,004 to 61 Ou the modon of Ald.

Derickson. Sommer voted with the cronies uzainst the chanze, and insisted as far as be and they could that the *Holdover” tiscat poliey should be continued. At the next meeting—May 2+—there came up a report from the Finance Comtuittee on those nartinoa af Mayor Hovna's eae relative to the fiscaf interests of. the city.. The committee presented resoiutions pledging the uncollected taxes of 187.73, and ‘74, and the tax levy for 1875, except 50 much as might be required to pay the interest on: the funded debt and all arrexrs of sularies aud wages, to the retiring of out- starting city certiticates. Sommer, Hildreth, and the “san; except White, voted axninst. the report and resolutions. They preferred spending the money in “improvements” for the*} benefit of contractors, and ulso a further issue of curtiticntes. ‘About June 1 the Cireult Court decided that Mayor Coivin's claim to hold over was a lesal oné, and that Mr. Hoyne bad no valid claim to the office because no election hud been ordered. by the Council. At the Council meeting June 5 Mayor Coivin vetoed tho resolution fixing (ho hand of R. P. Derickson “as Controller. The Council pussed the resolution over the veto, though Sommer, as usual, voted io the nezative. At # Special meeting df the Council June 7 a resolution was offered and ordered published providing for the election of Mayor on the 37th. At 2 subsequent meeting the date was chunged to July 12, Sommer and the rang voting fa. the negative. June 21 Ald.

In fact, the Council undertook to administer the City Government on exnetly the same comimerciil privelples us the bumblest snopkeeper or tue most opulent merebant. It was run for busi- and not tor bleeding the taxpayers.

On the pussaze of the ordinance abolishing the useless office of Fisb Inspector Sept. UM, 1806, Sommer voted with the “gang” to retain it; and he incessintly worked aguinst the passage of the ordinance abolishing the costly Bourd of Public Works. Mr. Sommmer’s political. career ‘seems to have been decidediy uainteresting. tor the reason that nothing turned ‘up on which ke could use bis peculiar talents until the con~ sideration of the 187s appropriation bill, when he stood solid with the yung" in advocacy of needicss expenditure in the way of bigh sa ries und increased appropriations for the bene- tlt of the cuntractors, He afso vored to pay himself a salary of Sala year tor being Alder- man, April Yhe Voted. against the passnge of the amended fire ordinan the amendments being.to make it more rigid.

On the cull for the previous question Sommer voted with the gang in the negative, but on the passage af che resolution be “ shook bis pards und dodged. Such is the unsavory record of an alleged “‘ re~ former” who was elected a3 an “unreformed member of an unreturmed und uureformable Council, and afterwards served in a similar capacity in the Keform Council of 18ié—a record which is consistent with own unreformed and unreformabie character us a public. servant from the first vote he cast down to the very lust. THE St. 1I DISTRICT. There isa very interesting fight for County Commissioner going o2.in the Sixth District— composed of the towns of Bloom, -Rich, Palos, Bremen, Orland, and Lemont—and it becomes the duty of every taxpayer of the district to luok well to the ‘candidates that are running for that position, and the parties that are supporting them, The Demo- crats have nominated Mr. William Skeil, of Lemont, for the position. If the voters ot the district will only look back at the acts of the County Bourd of this county, when the Dem- oerats bad the majority, they will not support Mr. Skelly or any of that sort of men. They will remember the ring that was then formed to de- fraud the county and enrich theinselyes at the expense of the taxpayers, and by such dishonest Inedos defrauded the county out of thousands of dollars per year for a numberof years by having a middleman to whom any contractor hadiogo and pay money before a contract would le awarded to bit, and the middleman would divide up the same with the Commission- ers, and they lad for 4 middleman a pers the name of Periotut, who wis called the * Six- teenth Counmissioner,” and wis the bead of a ring under that Democratic rule, and a personel friend of Jon C x the Democratic Commissioner from thisdistriet. ‘The taxpayers who Will look xt the record that was mide at the time will uot yote fur a Demu- crit for that position. fi Another cundidate fs Mr. ‘Richard®S.

Having been fairly defeated in suid convention, without uny cause to com- plain, he now comes forward us au“ Independ- ent” candidate for the position, He hus ‘per- fidivusly bolted trom the pufty, and xs a sure- heud asks the electors to vote for him after he bad bound himself by -ull the obli- gations that a mun is .capuble of; after huving. made a tight ut, the primaries to elect delegutes to the’ convention; after. buving asked all his friends to come to said primuries und vote fur bis delegates, binding them by that means to stand by the nominee of that convention, und now asks the same men to boit und go aguinst the rerular Republican can- didute.and yote tor him. As he-wcts in w dis- honuranie manner, being lost to all shame, to all political honor, and to all respect of honest uicn, baving broken his word to the convention —how cun any Republican wortby of the name support him?

He was brought out by Mr. John Conley, ex-County Commissioner from the Sixth District (Demu- crat), Andrew McCord and Ira McCord, all of tho town of Palos. Their object cau be readily un- derstood, ‘Mr. Justus Weber, of the town of Bremen, is the rerulur Republican candidate, having fairly and honorably received the nomination in tho Republican Convention at New Bremen, Oct. 3, ayainst. several competitors.

Cnicaco, Nov. 5.—This being an **off-year" election, there seems to be very-little interest imunifested in Republican circles, and, as usual in such cuses, the Democrats are awuke to tho opportunity, and will succeed, unless prevented by a general rally of Repubticaus to the pulls, in electing enough men uow to make ft an easy matter to get control of the borrd in a year from now. Wedo noi blame the Demoerats for capturing ajl official positions possivie, but we do blume the unthinking, careless Republicans who propose on Various pretexts to aid them in these enterprises. These reformers, who ure su perpendicular that they lean townrd the enemy, tellus that no barm can come-trom electing 0 few Democrats in this otf-year. Right here hes the mistake. If uny argdment’cin be mude now for electing a tew Demverats to the buard, the same line of argument will apply tor wak- ing the bourd entirely Democratic. - If tive will improve the board, ten will inake it better, aud fifteen best of all. 2 principle there are no Tox Republican from “oll-year" contests and no “ upimportant"’ NBRET, elections. “ The off-;ear” foolish bereand there, mixed up with ‘side-show" perform- ances, and: gotten up for the benefit of the Democrats, nearly cost us tho Presidency on two occasions since the War, and did cost us control of the House and Senate—losses not yet made good.

P. MORE ‘* CHARGES?’ EXPLODED. Since the renomination of Commissioner Co- burn the columns of the Lines bave. been free to nis enemies und have teemed with all manner. of charges against him. At frst bis great sins were his connection with the dome and the “extra” brick-work of the new Cotirt-House, but these were explained xt once, since which time there bus been an ominous silence on the subject. and ubuse the geutleman, other charges have been preferred trom day to diy intended to in- Sure bim.

No specitieadons were offered us, aud our understanding, u5 well ag that of all other competitors, was that the designs for the fixtures were first to be adopted, und then tbe quitity of the: materiui ana the price, Our desizus were unammously approved us the best, and subsequently, after the sired bud been ere found to be the and we wer the contract. ‘This is all there was to it.” ‘Tey approved our designs, adupted the quality of gouds we presented, und, finally, the prices we oliercd to furnish thet at. We could bave furnished the sume designs in chenper materialat half the money we were paid, but were not called upon todo it, and “aay of our competitors could bave done the same. ‘Nhe bids ranged from § to Slu,sH, and we Were given the Work at 310,035, whieo ouzht to explain the point, ‘There ‘was no favoritism shown of “any kind by anyvody in the transaction, aud the unswer to the charge, that we were unfairly given the di of. an: other competitor, us Well as his_ pri iu the fact that our orisinil desizns were adopt- ed and were “entirely dissimilue to any oth- ers presented. The fact. that we presented the most attractive designs, therefore, which were udopted before any prices were nated, and the further fact that our Mzures were the lowest for what was wanted, is ‘the reasoi the only reason, we were given the work.

Ayars, Clark, Coburn, lutt, Miller, Rheinwald, Seane, Stewart, Wood, and Purington.

Comment is unnecessary, especially since the ficm is one of the oldest and most reputable in the city.. ‘They set forth the frets concisely, and us thoy are, and if ere was any mistake made in lerLing the contract fur the gas-itting it was very phiinly in’ determining their quality and not their price. They could bave been put in for balf the money, just us ove corner lot can be bought for half the price that two can; but, the quality bemz considered, the best terms Were mude that could be, : Another question the same paper has harped upon is the conduet of MeSsrs. Wood and Coburn in the mutter of letting the contract for: the furniture for the building. In this they Churge that A. H. Andrews & Co. were favored to the detriment of the public interest. This is on 4° par with all the ozher charges, and is quite ns easily disposed of. The bids for the work ranged from $34,000 to $31,000, and in opening the bids, the bid of Mr. Andrews was throwa out because” it wag in- formal. In the examination of the otber bids, however, it was found that the lowest bidder was an individual without.a shop, money. or bucking ef any kind: and, falling back upon the next bidder, it was found tbat ne had just promised to ‘settle with his creditors “for 3 cents on the dullar, and was to- uuly unprepared. to take any new" con- tructs. The other bidders were thought to be bigh, and, after considering the bids, it was determited to readvertise. .The second lat of bids wero of about tho samo relative character, but this time Andrews & Co. were in order, und their bid was considered, ‘ne lowest bidder was one Oszaod, whi name could ‘not be found in the directory, and whoso shop could not be located. He came betore the board, of. the 1 upon, our pris however, but utterly fwiled to sutisfy that body: of bis responsibility, and at onee dropped out of sight. The next lowest bidder was Andrews & Co. (343,750), and, upon. their complying with the requirements ut the speeiticatians, giving bond, ete., the award was nade thea. ‘This is the history of the letting of the “fur- niture contract” in brief, fram which it will be seon that the lowest responsible bidder. xut the £ tho Commissioners had been “on the as is charged, they could havo tet the contragt to Sexton, the Gid-tine favorit, for $60,000, or to sume of the other bidders for 340,- 000, but they wero not “on the make,” to all appearances, for they let the work to the lowest responsible bidder, The reader cun scun the facts and draw his own couclustons, WARD WHISPERINGS. A meeting of the regular Republican Club of the Fourth Ward was held last eventag in Armory Hall, Indian avenue, neur Thirty-tirst street,the President, D. E.

The-Bourd of County Commis- sioners bore the same relauion to the county: thut the Legistature ‘did to tho State, and it was by putting good men in the minor offices that the high status of the Republican party In its National relations was sustuned..

Clark in the chair, Senator Joba A. Logan was called for, and suid that business meetings were of more linportance than speeches. He was willing enough to talk, but could sce no good end to be subserv thereby. The only thing he could sugrest to bis auditors was that they should vote the Repub- lican ticket. [Applanse.] Senator Login went on to say that thore were 2 good many Republicans who thought it might be wellto chavse Demucratic members of the County Board this. time. He could not agree with thom, andas be bad always stuck to bis party he wanted them to do the same. [Ap- plause.] The officers tobe chusen this were unimportant in -themselves, but next year a much bigger contest would ‘arise, and he wanted the michine to remain in the bands of te Republican party. No party. could be suc— Sere without machinery or organization, und when that organization should brent down that purty would go to pieces. In his view the only danger coufronting the Republican party was the possibic apathy of the voters. fle thought the elecuon of next Tuesday important enough to cull out tho suttrages of all good citizens, und he boped that there would be a xeneral rally in support of the ticket. [Apphuuse.] Cousressman Aldrich, referring to the Repub- lican candidates, said be had exuinined the rec- ord of Mr. Coburn und wns satistied that, in all his County Board business, he had acted as a business-toan would do. He bad declined toaward a contract to a boy, and he had been blamed for that, ‘The speaker belleved he bad done right all through. The prestige of this election would go fur to determine the result of the tight next full, and was therefore important to Republicans. John Stephens.was too goud a Clerk to lose, and Coburn and Gilpert were good enough County Commissioners for every tax- payer to vote for. [Applause.] Ou motion of Ar. J, H. Wright, the meeting thes proceeded to nominate and elect noturie: and Ucket-peddlers. This business occupied a long tine, but was finally settied satisfactorily. TOWN OF LAKE, To the Exiitor of The Chicago Tribune, Cnricaco, Nov. 5.—The opposition to Mr. Wood in the ‘Town of Lake is based upon the ract that the ring in that town, controlled by the Stock- ‘Yards iniluence, could not .use him to continue thé various ‘combinations entered into by his predecessor, Mr. Tabor. As Tue TRIBUNE has already shown, Mr. Wood has preferred to rep- resent the people than the Town of Luke ring, and his votes upon all important measures jus- ify the people in reilecting a faithful pubjie servant. Hunareds of the best Democrats wilt vote for Mr. Wood, because of his independence in the Bourd of Commissicners_ and of his refu- sal to be. owned by a “ring.” ‘The Republicans of the county have un interest in this fignt, and will not fail to notige the influences at work try- ing to defeat the recleétion of nn honorable rep- resentative who has faithfully subserved the in- terests of the peuple. HEPUBLIVAS. CLERICAL POLITICIANS IN LAKE, To the Editor of The Chicago Tribune.
