THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION IN NOVEMBER.
Old Mr.. STOREY hns now Oh hand the JOB
Of debating to the several Judges of the Su-
rrc,ne Court how they shall decide in several
cases before them, aud especially in the ap-
peaf by the Mayor and Common Council Of
Chicago from the Judgment Of custer ren-
dered in the recent 7uo.rnaranto case. Old
STonEy undertakes to define not only what
tho law IL, nntl what the Supreme Court
Judges should do, but actually instr11cts them
rs to the loyal effect and operation of any
Judgment they mny render. liaving instruct
cd and dictated to the Courts what Judgment
they should render, tho old person Informs
the people Of this city whnt they shnll and
shall not do in the matter of holding an
election this foll. Tho old gentleman
is considerably befosgcd, and his.legal deflni-
tions and Judgments are tho laughing stock
even Of the wholly IMMERSED in legal techui.
calitics. Tho old IN an has takon tho notion
TINT ho bosses this city, and llo seeks to i'm
press upon all people. md especially tho
Judges Of the courts, that they must decide
rs lie dictatos, or ho will force them to leave
tho Bench thnt he will let lis blackguards
loose upon them, until, to escape annihila-
tion, they will seek obscurity. Still, wo do
not know Of anybody, Judge or my other
person, who has resigned ofiico Or left the
city or State to avoid the blackguardism OF
the old man and his paper.
The latest proclamation issued by tho old
man is TINT there shnll bo no election for mu-
nicipal officers In November next under the
charter in force mp to the so-called election
last spring. Old 31r. STOREY lays it down
TINT, at the special election Inst spring, tho
chartor of 1879 WIS adopted; that, though
two Judges Of this district have unisod in
opinion that there was no legal election held
in April last, md judgment Of custer has
been rendered, TINT, because m appeal has
been taken. TINT judgment has no force until
confirmed by tho Supreme Court. There
fore, any election held under the old charter
prior to the decision by tho Supreme Court
would bo invalid, even il the Supreme Court
should s,1stain tho Judgment of oustor. In
NIL Of this old Alr. SronEx makoa himself
ridiculous; exchpt rs mntter Of attempted
dict0tion to the courts and to tho people, it is
entirely out Of the old gentlolnnn'a Limo, Which
lies in quite another direction.
The fact is, the Judgment Of custer takes
effect from tho date Of its entry. The appeal
simply suspouds its execution until tho Su-
promo Court can hear and determine the MP
peal. II the Supreme Court ovorr11le the
judgment, that se.tlcs the matter in ono why.
II tho Supreme Court affirm the Judgment,
the appeal ia dismissed, and the Judgment of
ouster Htands Of the date it was originally On
tered by Judge FARwuA Of tho Criminal
Court.
In caao the Supreme Court shall, therefore,
not render q decision upon tho appeal before
the time fixed for tho election Of municipal
officers in November by tho old charter, that
charter being in fact the ndjudged chartor Of
tho city, an election hereunder would not
only be wiss precaution, but m absolute
legal necessity and duty, which citizena Of all
parties will readily recognize aud obey, dos-
