that each township of q county and ward of

the proper steps under the plan of organization
for the appointment of delegates from their re-
spective counties, and in case it be thought ex-
pedient to appoint the delegates by townships or
wards, we then recommend to the County SUI
perintendents to call the meetings fof the same

HOW THEY ARE USED FOE PARTY PURPOSES,
From the opening OF tho campaign to the
present timo both partie have fell deep inter
est in the Custom House and Post-Ofiice in this
city. Tho interest of the Republicans has beco
prompted by tho fact thnt they we'll knew the
worth OF such machines about election time, and
from experience knew how their expansive char
acter could be made to either manufacture or
overcome majortiss. The Opposition has felt an
interest mingled With dread. Having little OF
anything to hope for themselves, they hayo
been anxious lest the Republicans should derive
more benefits than the interests of the Govern
ment would justify. As the election il so near
at hand, aud as either party has gained or lost
all it can in reason hope for, some reference
to the workings OF these institutions may not
be devoid OF general interest.
It is well known that Congressman control
the heads Of departments in their
districts just ~ completely "a tile
merchant controls his clerk. or the
master his servant. Whoever Congressman
recommends for appointment, earnestly, re-
ceiges whnt be demands, even at the expense Of
the head Of = superior employe. With thu CON-
mencement Of the campaign, very naturally,
came an increase In tho

SPEECH At THE OPPOSITION MEETING At Tun,

SPEECH At THE OPPOSITION MEETING At TURNER
The Opposition u1ass-meetiug held at the
North Side Turner Hall last evening was not as
we'll attended US the leaders Of the party had ex-
pected. There were not over 300 persons pres
ent, only about half the seats being occupied,
Conspicuous on the platform were Mr. Edmund
Juessen, Adolph Schoeninger, and Gon. Herman
Lieb.
The meeting was called to order at o'clock
By Mr. AdoIph schoeninger, who nominated Mr..
John Rountree Chairman of the meeting. He
Was unanimously elected
Me- nouxTREE,
On taking the chair, thanked them for the honor
conferred upon him He stated that serious in
disposition prevented him from making a long
speech. Still, he went on and spoke for nearly
hait an hour on the political issues OF tho day
claiming that the people were tired Of tho Re-
publican m'sIuie, which vas fully proven By tile
elections in Indiana and Ohio.
MR. EDMUND yUEssEH
Was then introduced and received with loud ar-
planse. He spoke substantially as follows:
There was time when re were proud of o1r
American citizenship. We had ceased to regard
: shls Republic as mere experiment. and believed
mat 1t had practically solved the question Ii to
tne best form Of government. We had given
the world glorious example OF republican, yir-
tue aud heroism, and had furnish
ed lncontroverhblo proof that we were
not only jealous Of our privileges
IN time Of peace but had the will and tho power
TO maintain our Government in time Of civil war,
The whole civilized world had Implicit faith in
the perpetuity Of our institutions. Those were
glorious times, my fellow-citizens, and whoever
shared the honor OF our achievements will not
cease to think Of them with pride and setisfac-
tlon, nor can be refrain from giving vent to his
lndignation when ha remembers that a corrupt
Congress, greedy Administration, and politi-
:al party, once the embodiment Of all that is
Firtuous and heroic, have deprived us of the
best fruits Of our victories.
We stand here 3 shining example to all the
Ko1ld, and

Yesterday was the Ive1iest day OF the cam
paign at the Republican headquarters. Especial
y was it lively in the forenoon at the session ot
the Executive Committee, when Charley Ham
WAS mounted on the table giving advice
to candidates and the Committee at large.
It was subsequently equally ~ lively
when the funds for Sundays work were
distributed. Among tho more important trans-
actions Of the Committee outside tho regular
business was the reception from
ERNST scHMAL1AN's
Own lips Of the announcement that he would no
Mt. schmalian said ho resigned because he did
not think he could be elected, and furthor, be-
cause the Committee WAS not inclined
to treat him right. II the party WAS
ashamed of him because he was q
friends would be found ashamed Of the party at
the polls The announcement was received with
great deal OF pleasure By the Committee but
none smiled louder or longer than Aid. Bailey.
His trick had worked. and he Was conddon: bis
time had come. But 1t appeared after soma
debate that he was mistaken. The Committee
agreed at once upon supplying the vacancy
with the name Of
CAPT. JOHN MURPHY
Bailey rushed from the secret chamber at once,
and. summoning around him knot OF friends,
told the whole tale. It .wa5 sad 10 relate, aud
acted as check upon their ardor. He encour-
aged them, however, by assuring them TINT ali
was not yot lost. Murphy Will not accept; I
know he won't; he must not" Then, buzzing in
friendly car, and placing his whip IN friendly
hand, the scene closed. Bailey returned to the
