OAuLFIELD ON THE HEB1NG-UHAR COM.
BINATI0N.
Tho mooting Of tho HoBing @ IInra Combina-
tton at Kingsbury Hall Oil Saturday night was
arco was urge enough, but nothing remarkable,
considering the time a11d money spent in drum
ming 1t up. Tho n,eoting was moro remarkable
for tho abBontees than for tho number present.
Amoug the $50, 900 people Of this city tlloro was
not really prominent citizen who could
be induced to preside. For tho long
advertised assomblago Of tho "Unitcd
Nationalities," 1t was found noccs-
aary, in order to hayc President at
al 10 tako "Duffolo" Miller. In tho
matter Of orators tho "pooplo" woro
oven moro unfortunate. Tho only gcntlo-
man not personally interested in tho proposed
raid on tho City and County Troasury, who WIS
present to spenls, was Mr. D. d. Caulfiold, and ho
tO44 LuEA1 III tAo 1uu6t '0lAtuU hA4S I'LL AcGs toAo
that thoir attempt to t,nito all the foroign-born
citizons Of Chicago in political antagonism to
tho rcBt Of the community was blunacr and m
indocorum III which ho would tako no part.
Having thus uomo]iHhod tho whole guporstruc-
turo upon which tho combination has boon
formed. Lo told tho meeting that this WAS not
a time to get up isBuos in reference
to Sunday laws, saloon liconsos, or
regulations as to the amount, time, place, for
day whom mon should drink. Ho insisted that
respect for Sunday by the maintenance Of pub
lie ordor and doconcy should bo observed and
maintained, and tint it was useless to talk upon
that point. Tho great question Of tho day was
| not Sunday drink, nor appointments to tho po-
lice. but how to pay taxes, and how to carry tho
| city through itB financial ombarraBBmentB without
inl1ic.ing1o loss andsufforing upon those dependent
upon wages for thoir daily subsistence. That
| WIS 4 mattor in which oyory man was Interested.
| Finally ho urged tho "combination to aban.
! don its distinct organization, and to appoint q
committee to consult with ali tho various bodies
Of citizens for harmonious action in tho selection
OF ticket composed Of Mon Of ability md i'll
togrity, competent to doal with tho practical
question Of financial embarrassment, and tc
safely loft. Illie speech, which WAS plain
common-sonao recital OF obvious truth, was not
rclished by tho managers. Tho cheers which
had grooted 1lr. Caulleld in tho beginning
gradually died away. Tho mooting had no
boon called for my such purpose it hat
been callol to demonstrate tho power o.
tho combination" aud to scaro tho public
Yet, with anazing Inconsistency, tho mootins
Immediately adopted resolutions addrossod tt
tho very questions which llr. CaulActl Ind sug
geatod OF paramount importance, declaring thu
they wero In favor Of tho issue OF gsconbacks
city ecrip, mills-tickots, and other shinplassora
Tho roBt Of tho proceedings Of the meotinl
amounted to nothing. Alr. Caultiold had owl
IDENTIFY given it cold bath, and Mother Buffalo
Miller nor l1r. 1Iosing himself, nidod by tho r
rcprossibo Reynolds, could arouse euthuaiasr
among mon who Ind boon told thoy woro actin
stupidity, and who evidently believed tho Htatc
mont to To moro than half truo. Atr. Hosin
closed with the desperate assoyoration tint h
would vote tho ticket ii nobody else did.
Tho meeting was failure. It was intonao
to display tho strength of tho Hoaing- 0 '1Ias
combination to tho s' lbera1-mindod Americans.
But tho latter did not show themselves. III til
list Of over 100 names Of tho Campaign Com
mitteo, there ia no mention OF these libora
minded Americans, with tho exception Of MosHr
Thomas Hoync, Ohauncoy r. Bowen, ". i. Goo
baugh, Clinton Briggn, John @. lIainee, aud
few other gontlomon, who probably have nj
consented to such uso of tholr nan.eB, aud wilt
II thoy have not personal business requiring u
their time and attention, certainly viii agrt
that tic time has not yet como for Foroig
Know-Nothing party, and will further agrce th'
wo want City Government at t4is timo eloote
. upon somo other issue than tho marrow QUO
Sunday Observance.
