It IL nncaBsary. In order to duo appreciation
Of the ahamefu! scenes Of Inst Friday evening,
to advert briefly to Tho general state Of corrnp-
tion Of tho Chicago CITY doyetpment and poll
tirangor Legislation ut Springfield. Every large
city in tho country. except ours. in inaspendvnt
Of tho county IN which u Ia hi!tiated- This State

pepdenco OF county interforonce, anu thls Bpn-

| l}oaton could nnver havo e1istcd. Chicago. on
tho other hand, is sadafcd with a double Govern
ment ono ct the county aud ono OF tho citr,
aud both Of them prescribed by the Legislature
at Springfield. composed Of inon wiio arc as
ignorant OF tho neela OF great city ID horao
is Of nesronomy. Tako TWO or tl4see samplea
OF tho OWL reaulta OF this unnatural legislation.

country to serving writs br roadlns them In
tho country every man knows the Constable and
Sheriff, tln magistrate aud tho courts every ono
Eno~s ovorF one else, apd knows all that COOS

meana, 11,osmeEs has noeh ;aven aa1lnst as sou pY
our country couaius to allow Us to make our
"rits aerrable by copy bafo proved unavAiiing.
Again. in country plAcos trial BY. jury before
magistrates is oil excellent institution, BECAUSE
Sons. Therefore tho farmers at Springfield In,
Sist that tnrios may 10 called IN nlasistratcb'
courts IN Chicago also, n!thplRh here 1u!oIn arc
unknown and irresponsible rorhous and there,

than Instruments or snnoyanco aud oppression,
without ono single FedeeMlpR advantage.
Again. one Judge Ia enough for one county
ont IN tho country with population Or l9,0Go
therefore tho Legislature thinks that aove'I or
| olEht Juagoh arc enough lof ktl1A county,, Wltn 3
population Of 3co0 0oo OF 4o0,o The conso.
quercc III that i you wish to sue d man for $500
you havo to watt year bofore your cause eau bo

nppaal to your country Legislator for rollst, llo
IL determined that the city shall llvo like tho
country.
Again. and tht8 tn moro to the point, thore Ia
no uso IN ordering repatriation OF votes Out IN
tle country eYory time County Clork or =
BherH is to bo oiooto1. There IL nat much at
ntAko in such &n election, tl1ere Ia not
much excitement, tho votors ara all well
known, aud tAero arc few temptations to corr1,p-
ton. Therefore our country Legislature l1aa
partially Ecpoalcd our wholesome Registration
act, and tnade II unnecessary that lhoro should
10 a registration III tlia city either when ouly
county o1tlcara are to DO alected. The result oi
this Ia that an honest election In this city 10 al
most ali impossblty.
Once moro the country Legislature las cn-
acted genera! chartor for atl she cities of fill
