CHICAGO. April 1.-The object Of this note IL to
withdraw my naro candidate for Mayor, and
TO state sotne Of the rehenna which have governed
mY courtc Of action. To understand thcte rca-
sons, II ia necessary 10 conaider how nominations
arc made, and what retults ther produce.
The nsst public net leading to nomination II
what II known IN modern politics a. "pttnnfy."
These meetings the propcssY. holding business Gle.
ment - a rule do not attend. Tho wortt poilt-
clans, the tdie and criminal ciasses, ali, horcyer.
do. The leaders Of tens. tweutioe, snd Gfties
trade for and dclivcr their followers for pay, and
thus many Of the delegates to the Conventions arc
ehoscn
In theory, Republican PRIMARIES arc attended BY
Republican,, nnd Democratic primaries by Demo-
esat. but Is matter Of fact tho dangerous classes
double up. attend both primaries, and ret twee
paid.
The delegate ticket thus chosen 10 ]arge1y bad,
sad when the Conventions arc held, there Are many
dangerous md notostona1y bad characters {who'
have no interest IN the city except to prey upon
tho ta1-psyluz community found In consplcuous
posttlont.
At ths primaries snd tho Conventions theso ars
d few good men stsn2gi!ng for better state Of
things hut except In csttaiu localities they go
der In tho contest.
After tho nominations are made tho better class
Of votcfs adhere 10 thes politics In order to maft
tasn standing and influence With the 1eadcrs; bns
tho bad Of both parties, having no standing In so-
cety or In their pstty, unite upon tho worst men
snd elect them, snd tins whsn the election Is o5er,
In tho Council and other rlatca tho had unite and
outour,ber tho good, and hence comes tho larceny
and corruption. which brought our city to tho
verge Of bankruptcy, and taxation substantially
conascat1on.
When tho better class Of peop,c 70 to the polls
they and very few. II any. names on eithor ticket
they want to vote or but they are told thst to soto
for any one else IL to throw array tue vote, and
thus their ross controlled by tho bad, contrary
to and in spite Of their Wishes.
This has been the political history OF the city for
tne last twenty yeerf.. and tho sitnnt3on, IA \
