have been watchtully cognizant Of the move
ments, set on foot By the Mayor Of Chicago,
to defeat the reelection of judge Trlmbull
The first scheme was to get himself nominated
for the Stats Senate. It will be remembered
that while making his battle for the nomina-
ton he said that certain persons expected the
city police force to protect the polls on election
day, and ho inquired in that connection: ado
these people see anything green7" But his
threats ava1ed no more than his applications;
and Nj. 09den was nominated without dis.
senting yote.
Foiled in his first plot, he set himself indus
triously to work to shoulder the Irish ticket
through in the seth Representative district,
and to secure the election Of two pro-slayery
members Of the Legislature. Our readers re-
member the CAUCUS which took place in The
Mayors Office On the morning before the late
Democratic County Convention, between
Wentworth. McComae. Myers l. Co. They
remember the plan agreed upon, to nominate
two sound Douglasltes for the Legislature in
the southern District With Republican for
Senator, apother Republican for Sheriff, and
another for Representative in tho 57th Dis
trict They remember that G. s. Cameron
stated in the Convention that he had assur-
ances from high quarter that # the hybrid
ticket was nominated, the number Of roting
places should be multiplied to suit tie exigencies
Of the tinsesl They remember that the Con-
yention adjourned without making nomina-
tions, to meet again on Monday the 18th inst
Since tho Convention broke up Wentworth
has been in daily consultation with the lead
ers Of the Irish Democracy. Cnder his aus
pices Alderman Myers has been t1aversing
the streets with call Tor mixed ticket Of
"Peoples' Candidates displaying the hoofs
and horna as usual by the presence Of two
unimpeachable Democrats On the list for Re-
presentatires in the Seth District But Went
worths part in the programme is the creation
Of IN additional number Of polls to facilitate
double voting On the part Of the Irish Demo-
crazy. For this purpose he called special
meeting Of the Council few evenings since,
notifying the Democratic members and only
such Republicans as be supposed he could
uss to accomplish the vil}ainy. 1t il said the
measure WAS introduced and referred to the
Judiciary Committee with instructions to re-
port al the ne1 regular or <pecial meeting Of
Tie Council This is ono report Of the secret
couclave. Another il, That a Republican mem-
ber Of the Council, who had not been notified,
suspect'ng some such chicanery, happened to
drop in among the conspirators and inquired
what was going on-shat the Mayor told him
there WIS considerable complaint about The
insufficient number Of voting places, and ho
was trying to ascertain exactly what the De-
mocracy wanted-and t,at the Republican
member aforesaid succeeded in getting the
meeting to adjourn. As sort Of cover for
the fraud, Wentwo1 th stated in his paper yes
terday that inasmuch as the days were grow
ing shorter, it would be necessary to keep the
polls open longer time than at the spring
elections-as though there were mora hours
between A H. and G P II. at some seasons
than at others.
The names Of the Republican Aldermen Of
Chicago, are as follows:
FlRsr WARp.-J. Z. Dotsford,

Attention, Wide Awakesi Your Mayor
has publicly threatened to withdraw his po-
Ice force from the polls on els. ton day. VIII
you not I'll their places7 Your Mayor is now
conspiring with the foes Of his party to ac-
complish gigantic fraud on the ballot box.
Will you not prevent it? .Ne notify all par
ties to this precious swindle that the h4ing
cannot Ie done. The voting places may be
multiplied-we know not what means may
DO 1esorted to, 10 jugglo the scheme through
the Council-but the voting itself shall not t,o
| multiplied. There never has been time when
the honest vote Of the city could not be taken in
the ten wards between A. II. and F. NJ 1t
is especially true that there never has been a
time when tbs vote Of the 1st, I'd, Sd, and 41h
Wards could not be fully polled within
these limits. This every nan knows who
has been accustomed to stand at the polls on
e;ectioH day. 1a the exciting contest last
sor;ug almost the entire yota in these wards
YVES cast before o'clock. What then is tbs
object Of having nsorr voting places? The
answer is plain. But ne happen to hare 4
Republican organization this year, strong and
well disciplined sufficiently 80 to guard t5e
ballo.-bo1 and put qu;etus on double voting
as soon as it is attempted. Every legal vote
will exercise bis right to deposit the ba1lo
which expresses his political sentamenta, bu
those who try to do 50 moro than once on tn
same day, whether tho voting places b ten O.
fifty, will get themselves into m ugly trap.
