CHICAGO MATTERS
made a Democratic city for ever and ever.
Things are to be fixed that the disgrace Of a |
Republican majority in your city is to be
wiped out most thoroughly. The plan is
being rapidly perfected between the leaders Of
| the Inyireiblc Club, and the committee of the
| Council, the club boys hvaing little the
| upper hand in the arrangements, As many
new Offices as possible are to be created, with
good salaries, while al the salaries Of present
Republican incumbcnts arc to be cut down to
exceedingly low figures, in order to gid the
poison in the pill. Thus the Mayor is to hold
over another year, with an increased salary,
| as ex-o0icio member Of the Board Of Public
Works and Board Of Police Commissioners.
One year from May next the Mayor is to be
elected for two years, the Comptroller, Col
lcctor and Treasurer do; and believe also
the Aldermen. There will be no election this
Spring. The city is also to be rc-diyisioned
as to wards, with the addition Of Bridgeport,
Hulsteiu, &c It is feared that these radical
changes may endanger the success OF. the
Democratic ticket, should an election be held
in the spring, so there will he none. The
present Police Board will have new member
| added from the city Ut large, and also the
Board Of Public Works. Bradley, present
Superintendent Of Police, will lie thrown

retained: Tuttle goes out by expiration Of
term Of Office. Coventry is charged with
being in the new arrangement, and with f1gur-
ing with tue Democrats in order to again ex-
tend the li1uits Of tic city, rs he did here ut
the last session.
Wentworth was called in consultation as to
the new arrangements, but I understand re-
; pudiatcd them. He is still opposed to the ex-
/ tension Of the city limits; some say because
he has a large amount Of valuable property
.
corporation. He claims, however, that this
property is i'll rented for the taxes, and that
, | he is opposed to the extension because it
, | would drive The slaughter houses, tanneries,
d:stilleries, glue factories, etc, entirely away
: river, and tie prospect Of being pcrpetually
charged with committing nuisance would
s. compel them to move perhaps f0rmiles away
: lie may be III favor Of a few Of the new ar
y rangements. ] believe he goes M f9T the aap
