Of Hesiug IS Bridgeport thugs" hullies, prize
Aahters, and cowards. and the performance OF
Friday night as su example Of the manner in
which Kissing would try to further his ends,
viz: by fraud sud force; The speaker closed
with predicting at least L, 600 majority for the
Republican ticket IN the County Ut Cook.
Mr. ". A. Baldwin, from Philadelphia, spoke
in high terms OF the city and peop}s Of Chicago.
aud made briof speech concerning the muntci-
pal affairs Of this and other c!tios. Ho exhorted
all men to 50 TO the polls and protecs the ballot

Mr. S. II. Booth, the gentleman who nosde
euch a Good stand in Farwell Hall, being Loudly
called for, spoke briefly upon tue disgraceful
acenes enacted, and advised I'LL present to give
no their business Tuesday aud see an honest
the Fourteenth Ward, and be volunteered to see
that no stufFng Of his box vent on while be was
around. aud Le should be there, he Eaid, from
7, a. n. till the votes were counted at night.
Short speeches, we're then made BY hessrs:;
Boss. Gill, Goodhue, Quirk. and Dixon, all
tending to the same point, the protection Of the
voters aed the legality Of the votes.
THE SIXTEENTH WARD.
That not all the Germans OF the North Side
blindly follow the lead and dictation OF Hesing
VAS shown by the large and enthusiastic meet
ing held at the corner OF Clybouru avenue and
DAYTON street, in the Sixteenth Ward, laat even
ing.
The meeting was organized by the election Of
Mr.. Charles Greiner as Chairman, and Joseph
JewelI as Secretary.
Mr. Scribner, the first speaksr alluded to the
fact that complete change had come orer the
people of the North Side since the ruf1ianly con-
duct OF Hesing and his mob at the merchants
meeting At Farwell Hall. Hundreds OF those
Who but day or two ago were blind adhe1enta
Of Hesing were now denouncing him, and would
vote for Huck aod the Republican party.
and that was the Republican party. The Oppo-
sition Was organized Tor the purpose OF plunder
merely. At one election it VAS the Peoples
party, at another the Opposition party, and then
the Cosmopolitan, or Unlou, or some other party,
Just Us they thought to catch the votes OF the
people. The object OF the members of the 0p-
position party now Wa9 to enrich themselves BY
the building Of the Court-House. The extra
$4,000 winch Haines got for making the founda-
ton went into the pockets OF the ring. This
thing must be stopped A. once. or else the taxes
which our citizens would be required to pay
would become unbeatable and ruin tho city.
NIB. JOHN J. HEALy,
candidate for the Office OF Clork of the Superior
Court was next introduced, and made a few per-
tinent remarks, saying he was no speaker to
up in the Sixteenth Ward, and hoped his old
comrades would stand by him. [Volces-''We
will."1 He was confident OF carrying the Si1-
teenth Ward. Three hearty cheers we're given
for Ir. Heay.
Judge Woodbridge was next introduced, and
made most able speech, which created i'm
rnepae enthusiasm. He said this WAS not
question of parties The Opposition party was
no party at all. He had seen many such hybridH.
md they we're invariably tracds and hun1bugs.
The regular parties were the only ones thht eoGld
be trusted. Shameful acts we're committed by
the Opposition partly IN tue name OF reform.
The Sixteenth Ward Glee Club was then intro
duced, and resaled the meeting With some
splendid songs.
Messrs. Richard Michaelis, Of the Ne14e Fren
Presse and Alr. Carl Haussner addressed the
meeting in German. Great enthusiasm pre-
vailed throughout the meeting, and there Is
hardly doubt that the Sixteenth Ward will give
good account OF itself on elecsion-day.
TIE NINETEENTH WARD.
There was good turnout and very enthusi-
astic meeting Of Ninetecnth Ward Republicans
at 40 North Clark street last evening. O. ".
Fuller presided.
Col. 4. c. Ellithorpe said he would ta1k tyo
minutes. It was too lsto in tho day for long
speeches. Thore was one issue; it was made
Friday night at Farwell Hall. Was one
man to rule, or we're the whole people
to take hand2 Hesing bcasts that he
carried the Germans in ono pocket the Irish in
another. 1t was to be eeen whether his boast
was true We had had notable experience
with Treasurer Of an expense Of 545e. 200.
Miller, the present County Treasurer, did not
want Huck to count tho money. For that very
reason we should insiss that he should count it.
Hs referred to the scene ct Farwell Hall. 1t
was shame and disgraco to see Hesiug there
leadiug Mike Mcdonald and his bunko gang to
r. {,,&
Capt. J. J. Healy was received with applause.
Ha would merely say that ha was the candidate
the Superior Court. He had received
tho nomination without solicitation. and
ha expected the votes Of honest
North Side for many years. and was known to
Germans aud Irish alike. He did not ask their
votes because he was OF Irish birlh, but because
he VAS an American citizen. Loud cheers.l
= song, Of which the burden was Hesing and hi4
mob, and the Farreil Hall meeting.
Atr. John Atwater said Mr.. Hesin4 WAS :, 600
votes worse OF than he was before the meeting
Friday night. The Opposition were trying to
turn back the Tide that Ind turned so strongly
of free speech WAS denied them. 1t was
not necessary to talk much about that
Hesing had 10 business thare; it was not
bis kind Of meeting. t''That's so."1

claim that free speech had been denied him. No
