A NEW DEAL,

A BETTER LEGISLATIVE AND COMMISSION Ell
TICKET PROPOSED.
Yesterday now movement ih 1ocn1 politics
was talked Of aud discussed III regard to the
County Commissioner, and Legislative ticket.
1t ia proposed By a number Of respectable gen
tlemen, Irrespective Of party, to put au entirely
new ticket In the field. 1t Is claimed by them
that neither party has put up the right sort OF
men. Tho Democratic Legislative and County
Commissioner nominations arc especially OBJ
noxious to tho respectable element Of that
purity. Tho men chosen TO contest for the con-
troll OF tho County Boartl are looked upon as
Disgrace and insult to the people Of Cook Coun-
ty; and, lie to the Legislative candidates, tho
Dcmocrats ure satisfied With but ono or two OF
them.
1t WIS ru1norcd yesterday TINT ags. Charles
Reed would make an Independent run fur the
States AttornuSshfp, but IN Intimate friend OF
Mr.. Recl's dcnfel tlfa, nnl further stated that
Mr.. Reed was no boltar, and that ho would only
citizens OF m independent ticket. This Ecntlc-
mnn claimed further thnt Mr.. Heed wns unlike
either Jam!eeun or Mills; he Was woll known to
tho criminal claases who dreaded lin greatly as

nnd fcarleesnGss.
rhs nominations Of Mcssrs. Mills md Jnmtc.
son Rro Bail by these people not u bc sat'sfae'
tory to mnny Of both parties.
is claimcd that Smith, on tic Democratic ticket,
is tho only man WHO should ba supported, tho
balance butng too low In the scale. Somu norn-
inatlons Of tho Republican party are said by
these soreheads to DO unsatisfactory.
The movement, Us far as could be learned,
lna taken no tangible shape whatever, and ns
yet Is merely talk md doubtlcss will renlaln so.
a number of gentlemen met in ono Of the par
lors Of tho Palmer House yesterday and
talked tho thing over. It was proposed
to run a!r. Charles Reed for Status Attorney,
Charley Kern for Sheriff, Emil Diotszch for Cor
oner, hln). Brnckway for Recorder, and Jacob
Gross for Clerk OF the Circuit Court. It was
proposed to select County Commissioners only
from our best~1lnown business 1nen Rhd Mlnko
rCformA In tho Board somewhat similar TO those
inauguratcd BY the present Council, aud TO cur
tnil on oil expenditures, und to snyo as much Of
tho luog appropriations ms possible. II Ia pru-
posed to put J. N. Jewett, 4. s. Thompson,
Tom Hoyne, md s1ch men on the Legislative
low tho ,,so Of tllcLr naincs. Mar
shall Field, Alurry Nelson, Julian 8. Ilumscy,
anu d number Of other prominent citizens wcru
suggested for County Commissioners. What
strength there Is in thu movement has not yet
been developed. Thus faf, 1t Is only talk
nothing morc. Tu-tlny some decision ,nny bo
arrived at, and probably q call for meeting ut
Mccormick Hull, Of citizens Interested III local
reform, Issued. Tho Municipal Reform Club Ia
also expected TO take tlis matter IN hand. 1t Is
not likely tint 1t will amount to anything.
