WAUKEGAN,
TIE REPUBLICAN, MOVEMENT.


Special Correspondence of The Tribune.
WAuKEGAN, July 222.-In order to enter upon
something substantial towards the support Of the
Republican ticket, those of our citizens belong
ing to the party hare organized Club, mn ad-
iourncl meeting Of which was held OIL last
Tuesday evening at the Council Chamber. The
objects of the Club, as embraced in the consti-
tuition, are such that no true citizen could have
the least objections but, Oh the contrary, would
simply be doing himself justice to heartily sup
port. At the meeting alluded to, quite num-
bcr of our leading citizens were present, among
whom were tae following: The Hon. c. ". Up
ton, Homer Cook, J. F. Cory, Robert
Douglas, &. 4. Partridge, j.. L. AL
Ian, J. P. Manchester, and others.
The names Of many new members were en-
rolled, also the rropriety OF holding ratifca-
ton meeting at an early date discussed. The
benefits that will be derived as direct result
OF the Hayes and Wheeler local Club will doubt
less be considerably in advance OF what was first
expected. The character Of the leaders in such
a movement is the movement itself, and no bet
ter reference could BE- given in this case than
the men who have connected themselves with
it. Township clubs will be organized at IN ear
IL date, at which time this falls campaign will
be fairly commenced. 4 company Of young

OcoSoMowoc, July y21.-As it rains here about
every third day, VIC have an abundance Of wet
weather, which, in conjunction with the broiling
sun, which usually comes out directly after the
rain, causes rust to accumulate OIL wheat to an
alarming extent, and it is thought that many
fields in this vicinity will be entirely ruined.
Oats, however, arc i'll q f1ourishing condition,
and corn, in I'LL probability, will be fair crop.
Hops, contrary to expectations, are doing re-
markably we'll, showing q large growth in the
vine proper, and corresponding growth in
"ar1n5,'' which arc well laden with thurs"
But those using short polcs-say from u to Is
feet in length-wnl have an abundance Of
"crow-nests,' which, in addition to being
nuisance TO pickers, never contain rs rich aud
firm hops as vines that have had support for
nearly their entire length. Hay, owing to the
frequent wcttings it has received while curing,
will undoubtedly be rcry dusty.

RACINE, July 23.- Brainlcss candidates
for political glory, who have as yet been unablt
to convince either themselves or their friends
that they arc capable Of filing any responsible
position in this hurly-burly world Of ours, are
sanguincly looking forward to positions OF
tickets that will drag them through. The
moneyed ofHce-seeker and his minions are ex-
tremeiy aifab1c to poor devils who laye'bce;l
superciliously snubbel heretofore. They but
ton-liolc him cajolinyly and pander to his vanity
in such manner that the victinl's head is CON-
pletely turIed and bis little influence is tender
Ell ere he knows what lie does. The pot has
commenced boiling with vengeance in our
usually quiet town. a rousing meeting to
further the interests Of Hayes aud Wheeler will
l,c held in the Opera-House tonight, and all
who arc loyal to the party arc expected to al
tend and lend their influence, small though it
be. The parish priest will address the as
sc1nblage in order to arouse his tock. The
dominic will howl hi1:4sclf hoarse to convince
thc Republican members Of the School Duartl
that ne is itlculcating the true political doctrine
into tue minds OF the rising generation, an1 i
thus 'swortlly Of Ills hire.'' The editors Of our

Ladies will be judiciously interspersed among

chiefs 1utter enthusiastically for the good old
cause. In speaking Of political matters, it
might be we'll to mention the fact that the sue
cess Of Republicanism fn our city would bc ma
teria1y furthered if certain dead weights were
ANONYMOUSLY kicked overheard. There are one
or two dead-beats and adlle-headcd fools who
assume the responsibility Of running ward eau
euses and shipping refractory voters into line.
Men Of no more intellectual calibre than Root
Digger Indians afe, for some inscrutable reason,
allowed to hold the reins, when that fact alone
is sufficient to disgust respectable citizens. It
would be well to commence 7tow a thorough
cleaning out Of these disreputable clements,
relegating them, rs it were, to the opposite
party, for which they were assigned by nature.
Let the managers secure assistants who have
the genuine interests Of Republicanism at heart,
and who will not sell out for the purpose Of
gratifying personal malice or petty spleen; then
when the tocsin sounds & to arms traitors will
flourish only in the camp Of the enemy, and
tne cause Will DC glorlously sustained.

their Investigations, will not divulge the actual
amount Of the deficit. The statement in NV

detected, 81, 600 in company stock and $500 in

OF his worldly possessions, since his homestead

The telegraph gives a lengthy re-
port of Bristow's statement before
the Congressional Committee, re-
specting his Attorneyship in Ken
lucky mule contract case before the
Court Of Claims. II does not ap-
pear that the Secretary of the Treas
ury will be particularly damaged
by the proceeding. 1t does begin
to appear, however. that Kentucky
is not going to suffer much through
her neutrality during the war, pro-
yiding the United States Treasury

thousand dollar fees, or contingents,

Of Mrs. Bowers, now Mrs. Belknap;
that q prominent Republican saw
yer said the case was clear one,
and that it would be an easy matter
for Clymer's committee to get at the
facts if they were disposed to. ely

lawyer he alluded to. He declined
to give the name on the ground that
the same information had been Civ.
On to Mr.. Danforth,.' a wember of
the committee, in his presence, and
that Danforth had given it to Bass,

The following dispatcn IS some-
thing definite on the silver question:
WASHINGTON, March 90 The
Treasury Department will receive
during the present week from San
Francisco fourteen tons OF silver
coin ip Anticipation Of the period for
commencing the circulation OF sill
YER. This will amount to 81 500, 900.
The amount of silver in the vaults
of the Treasury here at this time is
less than $4,000. Orders were re-
eeived at the Department to-day
from various points for $4,000 in
fractional currency, and that
amount will be shipped tomorrow.
There are S2,000,00Q in fractional
currency still in the vaults, though
mono has been printed since the
middle of last month. Since that
time the acquisitions on the Treasury
from banks and Government offices
requesting to be supplied with frac-
tional currency have amounted to
about 100000.
