Sunday Morning, November q, 1873.
THE ELECTION ON TUESDAY,

THE ELECTION ON TUESDAY.
More than ordinary interests aro at stake III
the election OF Tuesday next. Thora is hardly
mau in tho city who lives by honest labor who
has not q personal interest in the defeat Of tho
saIoon-koepors' tichet md tho horde Of adyen-
turers who nro Beoking through itB election the
possession Of tho City and County Governments.
It was proposed by 1Iesars. Ashton, Milfor, Craw-
ford, aud others, Of tho County Commissioners,
20 submit to tho pooploat the present election tho
question Of issuing auftioient amount Of county
oonds to build tho
NEW COURTHOUSE AND OTHER BUILDINGS.
This waa required undor the Constitution, which
prohibits any levy OF taxes in excess
Of 75 cents on each 800 Of taxable prop
arty for current expenditure. The assosgment
for Cook County, however, having been iu-
croaaed from s100 600, 900 to $500. 100000, levy
Of 75 cents por S180 will produce Ill the money
That the most corrupt officials can desire to
spend in ono year. Under thia assessmont,
bonds arc not now needed, as tho County Com
missionors can (by vote Of q to y levy d Tux Of
S2,250 600 year, in addition to what is needed
to pay interest on the old debt. This oxtra levy
OF couple Of millions annually will furnish
magnificent picRings to Building Committees,
County Commissioners, contractors, and a1l 9th
ers who live upon public plumber.
The Common Council is not restrained at all
In ite power 10 foyy taxos; it may, and II
Heaing's party got control Of Tho City Gororn-
mont, probably will, levy tax Of s8,00o,ooo
year to build the Court~Houso and other
public buildings, thus furnishing to indicted
Aldermen, Building Committees, contractors,
and the army Of dependents large pecuniary
dividends. Putting tho County and City Govern
nents together, tho annua1 levy of taxes under
this new dynasty will be possibly from nine to
eleven millions annually, and is capable Of being
made even lareer.
Ono Of tie firat measures will be to appolnt
250 or 300 additional policemen, selected by AIr.
Heaing from bis German aud IriHh cohorts, to
Keep tho "puritanica1 Yankees in subjection.
In no way con tho triumph over plritauical
Yankoeiam be more ofrensive1y shown than by
Sunday demonstrations. Tho election of tho
Heaiog ticket will therefore probably bo celo-
jbrated by grand procession next Sunday, with
ali tho music, and liquor, and noise that fanatl-
eism and malignity can auggeBt.
Who Is to pay for all this? Where is the
money to come from that will be necessary to
pay these taxes, and to meet these extraordinary
axpenditures7 This is matter which appeals to
'very person who follows an honest occupation.
~*ts directly affects every man who owns
! FOOT OF REAL ESTATE
in Chicago. It affects particularly that very
large claas of persona who own O. siugla lot In
proved by dwelling. The olection OF tho
aesipg ticket, and the complete revolution of
he municipal governments, aud their ahandou-
aent to the contractors aud jobbers who are in-
ent upon plumber, will be equivalent to tha exc
ution Of . mortgage upon all these lots and
; .wo1lingH. Tho interest on these mortgages will
collected arbitrarily every ycar by forced
ale. Onco in possession Of the two local gov
rnments. those men will bo vastly liberal in
aair expenditure. Tor several years they have
trugglod to got control. They are crazy to
terciae the power Of taxation, aud to landlo
10 money Of other people. Their destructive
'duonce will reach ovory man. 1t will strike
