There are few score of German Radio
ais in Chicago, headed by Casper Butts and
German school master named Theodore
Hielscher, who have for many months en-
deaTOred to create dissension in the Union
ranks by persistently sgitsting the claims
Of Fremont for the Presidency, and seek
ing by every means to defeat the expressed
sentiment of this community upon the
question of the succession. Those gentle
men have lately bsen operating through
the Chicsgo Workingmens' Association.
At recent meeting, when but seventy
two members were present they success ded
in passing resolution, by 3 msjOrity OF
two votes, electing delegates to the Cleve-
land Convention. The msjority Of that
organisation object to being thus commit
ted to this fsctiOus proceeding, and have
