There is q special consideration which
should prompt every Republican voter in
Chicago to cast his ballot for the Republican
nominee for Congress in his district In ad-
dition to the fact that in each of the three
Chicago districts the Republican candidate
is in every way superior and preferable to his
Democratic opponent, it is not impossible
that the election in these three districts NAV
determine whether the majority in the next
Congress shall be Republican or Democratic.
The most careful estimates that have been
made on the political complexion of the next
House of Representatives place the issue as
closely as this, aud conclude that there will
not be q majority Of more than three or four
either way. The three Chicago districts are
unquestionably Republican On full and fair
vote. There are no local issues now which
are detrimental to the Republicans, and the
difference between the candidates is all in
their favor. The National cause, therefore,
is entitled to expect return of three Repub-
ican members from the Chicago districts
and If every Republican votes for the party
candidate [and there is no reason in any case
why he should mott, Chicago will do its full
share in securing Republican majority in
the next National Legislature

We had almost forgotten that Mr.. GEORGE
h Bowen is also candidate for Congress in
the First District (the Greenbackers' candi-
date) until we were reminded of it by an ad-
dress by the Greenback Association Of South
Chicago, which repudiates Mr.. Bowen. We
print this address, which was adopted by a
unanimous vote Of the Association, and
which sets forth the reason why the Repub-
ican Greenbackers should not vote for Bow
EN-. They are in brief that all the Democrat
ic element OF the GreenbRck faction will give
its votes to the regular Democratic candi-
dates, from President to Coroner, thus leav-
ing Bowen merely Democratic foil for the
benefit Of Hoxm. In fact, every vote for
Bowen is vote for HOLE, and, if Mr.. Bowen
were disposed to act as fairly as some of his
Greenback constituents, he would withdraw
from the canvass, as the South Chicago As
sociation requests him to do. We advise
every Republican with Greenback inclina-
tions who lives in the First District to read
this address; its merits and truthfu1ness
cannot fail to be recognized The same ar
gument will apply largely to the Greenback
candidate-we have forgotten his name-in
the Second District.

After looking over the ground, and allow
ing for the greater cost Of supplying the
West Division with street-lamps, We conclud-
ed that the offer made by the BILLINGS
Company may have been fair after all, and
advised the Council to accept it. Their re-
fusal to do SO has sent the West-Side Com
pany into the Courts, and an injunction has
been applied for in the United States Court
to restrain the city from infringing upon the
existing contract with the Gas Company. If
this injunction be granted, and made perma-
nent after an argument on the merits, the
city would have done better to accept Mr..
BILLINGS terms, because it will then be
forced to pay the old contract price Of SO
per 1000 feet, instead Of 50 per 1000 feet,
which was BILLINGS offer. We presume it
is too late to retract, and on some accounts it
will be Of value to have the question tested
whether the rights Of municipal corpora
ton may be bound down for long term of
years through the action Of Council that
had life Of only one year. If they can,
then Chicago must suffer the penalty of an
unwise contract, and the same danger is i'm
minent so long as q new Council is chosen
every year.

The United States Supervisors have been
industriously at work going over and inspect
ing the lists Of registration. We are in
formed that they have found good many
bad nests of fraudulent names, and many
names Of suspicious characters. They have
active detectives out looking up the sus-
picious characters and spotting them. It is
expected that large number of arrests will
be made at the polls Of rascals attempting to
get in fraudulent votes. By Monday night
the officers expect to have perfect list
completed of the repeaters, where they live,
and the different precincts where they in
tend to vote. They have discovered the most
Illegal registration in Bridgeport, the Sixth
Ward, aud the Town Of Lake; but
they also uncovered good deal of villainy
in the precincts of the Eighteenth Ward, and
in parts of the Seventh and Eighth Wards.
The "Reformers" will undoubtedly get in
some fraudulent work on election-day, and
some Of them also will get into jail, but the
amount Of successful repeating and bogus
voting will be vastly less than the engineers
had calculated upon The United States law
is found to be an excellent net for catching
such catfish and eels.

A little too much Importance has been
given, perhaps, to the money and influence
Of the man HOLE, who is the "Reform -
candidate for Congress in the First District
The fact is, that he is simply local "boss "
in the employ of the Michigan Southern
Railroad. He is superintendent Of loading
freight -cars on the Stock-Y Yards section Of the
Michigan Southern, draws pay in proportion
to the irresponsibi1ity Of the place and per-
quisites in proportion to his own notions Of
honesty, and has never risen above the dig
nifty Of section-boss" Of small number
Of day-laborers. He has been put forward
as the Congressional candidate by certain
railroad interests, and it is said that the
money that has been and is being used to i'm
port and buy votes for him which he could
not get honestly has been furnished by those
who are interested in having tool in Con-
gress. He is opposed by the most inanen-
tial men engaged in business at the Stock
Yards, because they know his personal un-
fitness and are familiar with the disreputable
means BY which it is proposed to elect him.
It is not probable, under the circumstances,
that enough fraudulent votes can be polled
to elect him.

Col MosBr splits the last stale lie Of the
Democracy squarely in half. He has been
held up by the TnDES gang as an Office
holder under GRANTS Administration, and
the Rebel papers from Maine to Georgia
have dwelt with JUNCTION upon his supposed
elevation to emolument nnd influence by the
Republican party. The letter Of the ex-
Confederate, which We print this morning,
is smashing blow in the eyes Of the nn-
reconstructed Tildenites~ It stamps the
story as lie, and attributes its
invention to the bonght-up organs
Of the TRANSFORMATIONS party,
which it contends have pursued MossY be-
cause Of the claims their candidate has upon
him for the messages of sympathy that can-
didate sent to him during the unhappy
period when he was fighting to overthrow
the Government Of the Union. It is unfor-
tunate that the messages of sympathy"
are not given in the letter, but they can be
supplied by any student Of TnDES's career,
or they may yet appear in some speech,
prepared for the public, but never de-
1ivered

At q meeting Of the Bar Association yes
terday afternoon, resolution was introduced
providing for the appointment Of Com
naittee Of Thirteen to Investigate the
charges preferred by the press and
great number of citizens against Judge
McA111srEa, consequent upon his rul-
ings in the case Of ALEXANDER SULLIVAN,
indicted for the murder Of FRANCIS HASFoRD.
The attendance YVES very large, and the mat
ter was discussed at great length for several
hours It YVES urged by many that i'm
mediate action might have an undue weight
on the pending second trial Of SULLIVAN, and
for that reason it Was finally resolved to
postpone the question indefinitely. A full

of Commissioners. we invite attention to
the names:
FITZGERALD, HoPPMAN,
BRADLEY, LINEN.
F. We regret that the people Of this city have
not a personal acquaintance with these per-
sons. We have too much respect TOR the
mass of Democratic voters to believe that
these candidates would have the remotest
chance Of election, if they were known, even
by sight, to the general public. Their
strength is in their obscurity, which also
hides their personal undtness, their total
want Of intellectual qualification, and their
want of experience and knowledge Of public
matters. It is enough to say that the cleo
ton Of these four men will place the public
hopelessly and helplessly in the hands of the
present ruling faction in the Board
These are the Reform" candidates. Ex-
Alderman FITZGERALD is to "reform the
County Board, and HICKEY, and KEARSEY,
and SEXTON, and EszESBAoHER, and DELANEY
are to reform the General Assembly Of the
State of Illinois!
The Municipal Reform Association have
afforded the people nh opportunity to escape
bad government in this County Board, by
naming as candidates Messrs. PIKE, Nor
TIMER, NEwcoMB, and HAwKNsoN. The
majority Of these are also Republican candi-
dates, but We do not understand that any
citizen cares button as to the politics Of
the Commissioners. What is wanted in that
Board is personal integrity, and these four
gentlemen have that to recommend them.
# the general voter will remember that this
Board of fifteen members have the absolute
disposal of all the money they can raise BY
taxation or by the sale Of county bonds, he
will understand the great importance there
is Of electing competent men Of integrity to
that Board No man Of any party should
hesitate to scratch the county ticket vigor-
ously to defeat corrupt or incompetent
candidate.

credit, and through that upon all CON-
mercial and industrial enterprise. It
was q demonstration that the work

ing the debt, and thereby steadily
strengthening the public credit, is fully ap-
preciated by our business men. It demon
strated also that the disastrous impairment

power, the patronage, the army and navy,

country into the hands of Tammany Hall

Intelligent, honest, and law-abiding people
of the country? Is it not safer to

for the Union, who has in her Gubernator1al
Office practically carried out the Clv1l-serV1ce
reform, who has not been connected with
any rings or corrupt jobs, and who Will 60
into Office with his hands free and unham-
percd by any pledges, than to man who
publicly aud boastfully announced he would
oppose every effort OF the Government to
coerce the South into the Union, who has
been the counselor of Tammany Hall and
engaged as a partner Of TWEED in its corrupt
business, who has been the engineer Of the
Credit Mobiier and other infamous rings,
and who publicly confesses his inability to
Withstand party pressure? If there IS any
man who is gong to vote the Democratic
ticket because he thinks it's success will IN
sure Reform, let him look at home, for what
the Democrats have done here they have
done everywhere. Democratic methods are
the same in all places and times. Bourbons
never learn or change anything. They CON-
menced by nominating coarse, vulgar boor
for Governor. They have followed it up BY
nominating HoxH for Congress from the
4 mUtsFf mUtF important district in the State,-a cor
rupt man, corruptly nominated, and seeking
to secure his election by notoriously corrupt |
means. As we 60 down the List, the nomi- !
nations become worse and worse, and We |!
find the members Of the Legislature, the |
men who are to go to Springfield and make
laws, and the County Commissioners to be |
ward-bummers and scallawags, the mem
bers OF the late Cosmopolitan Club, the very
sweepings Of the gutter. Is there any |
promise Of Reform in Chicago and Cook
County in the nomination of such men? IF
they are elected, it must be by Republican
votes. viii any Republican Of intelligence
be humbugged BY this bowling Of bummers
and scallawags for Reform into betraying his
party and putting the vast interests of this
Republican city, county, and State into
Democratic hands? If there is any Republic
IN who has been deluded by this specious
outcry of Reform, let him look at the real
facts, and aualyze the prospects Of Reform as
between the two candidates, before he votes.

TMpEN, in his speech at New York on
Friday night, was true to his instincts as a
demagogue and a sham. Addressing the
torch bearers, he exclaimed: t*This is not a
compliment to me; it is an expression Of
the popular will in behalf Of Reform At
Now, the character of this declaration may
be judged when it is known that all Demo-
cratic torchlghts in New York City pro-
cessions are borne by men hired at so much
per night per man, and the "pageant which
TuDES greeted as popular outburst for Re-
form he knew was paid for out of his own
money, and was nothing more than pro-
cession Of hired showmen.
He followed this up by declaring that his
"success On Tuesday next means peace,
reconciliation, and fraternity among all our
people Of every class and race" When he
uttered this he knew that his supporters in
the Solid South looked for "peace, recon-
ciiation, and fraternity" through the pay
ment Of their claims, and, failing this, looked
forward to an Independent Confederacy, with
slavery Of the black race restored.
When he spoke of his election rs securing
' q restoration of national credit, a frugal
administration, and an honest and just gov
ernment, II the question must have suggested
itself, When did Tammany Hall provide a
frugal administration or just government?
He had the boldness there at midnight to
declare that his election would enable the
Government to reduce the interest on its
whole bonded debt to 4 per cent, and thus
save the interest proposed to be paid on the
a per cent bonds. This extraordinary state
ment was the most glaring piece of dema-
gogism Of the campaign. 1t was intended
to Offset tho great SUCCESS Of the Repub-
Icans in negotiating the y per cent loan.
He had the hardihood and the etfrontery to
declare that, if he were elected, the Govern
ment would be able to borrow enough money
to refund the whole bonded debt at per
cent. Mr. TnDES was fully aware that he
was stating what was not true, and that the
whole financial and business community are
at this moment dreading his election as fatal
to the public credit. This speech, in which
be declares that, in case he is elected, the
Government credit will be SO advanced as to
borrow $4,000, 100000 at per cent, was
pure bravado, but nevertheless characteristic
Of TnDEN. The mans desperation is evi- /!
1enced by the desperation Of his talk.

We renew the suggestion that all the
stores and manufacturing establishments
where numbers Of men are employed be
either wholly closed, or closed after IL
O'Clock, on elechon-day. This plan will be
general throughout the United States, and
there is no reason why Chicago should be al
exception. It is also proposed that where
builders have large numbers Of mechanics
and 1aborers employed, work be suspended
at noon, 80 that every man entitled to vote
may have an opportunity to do SO.

In the Second Legislative District the Re-
publican candidate for Senntor is Mr.. BASH,
who is opposed by large number of Repub-
icans on personal grounds. The Municipal
Reform Association have nominated Mr..
MuKRY NE1sos. This makes three candi-
dates, and, though the district is largely Re-
publican, it cannot support two Republicans
without making the election Of ADAMS, the
Democratic nominee, pretty certain This
difficulty ought to be settled by the with
drawal Of one of the candidates. IF this is
not possible, then the Republicans should
unite upon single candidate, and waste no
votes On the other.
