names Of those entitled to vote
Julian c. Rumsey said that, in the absence ~
registry Law, they we're compelled to depend
upon their ow1 exertions to prevent fraudulent
voting.
The books remaining Oh hand were then d,..
tributcd.
The Ward Campaign Committee were IN.
structed to secure campaign headquarters with

Mr.. B. Il. sEL1GAAS
proposed that the resolution passed at n,s-
yious meeting requesting the Club not to alIou
corruptlonists or criminals to participate in ia
affairs 6e cxpunged from the record. The
nominations had been made, and they wapted
the assistance OF every right-minded and honest
citizen.
Mr. Julian $. Rumsey supported the motion.
The reference was to Mr. HcsIng,-there was
no use in beating around the bush about it,
he believed that the resolution vas un-
Mr.. Hesing had shown his willingness to sup-
| port the Republican ticket the, speaker hc1d
] that the resolution should be rescinled. NJ
Hcsing might have been unfortunate, hut as be
hal shown his earnestness in tie cause Of Re-
publicanism he ought to be allowed chance.
The passage Of The resolution was the worst
| thing ever done in the ward. The Democrats
| ticket was an unexceptfoaab'e one, and yery
| strong. Every Catholic in Chicago would vote
for Lynch, and unless the Republicans put firth
every effort they would be defeated.

one lrishman at all events who would not yote
! for r.Lynch, and that he was the man.

Of 500 Republicans and ratified by The Conrea-
ton. IGreat app1ause.1 He did not want
it to go forth to the people that the
Eighteenth Ward invited the assistance
aud corporation Of corruptionists; and such
would be the natural result Of the proposition
offered. He had hoped that the whole question
had been buried. never to be dug up again. He
moved that the resolution be laid on the table.
Mr.. Sellgmaa said he sclt GLAD that Mr. Hes
in@ had been made to suffer for the wrong be
had done, but the resolution struck at his son,
Washington Hesing, and they ought to remove
the stigma from him.
The motion to lay on the table was apparently
carried, but the Clair expressed himself unable
to decide. 4 second vote proved even more
positive, and the motion Was decided in the af-
trmatiye.
