CORRESPONDENCE.

CHICAGO, Nov. 3.-Our fcllow-ctizens, who
| have at heart the true interest aud welfare OF

| Germ every man who desires the financial credit
| and good name OF Cook County aud Of Chicago
| to be maintained. In my judgment, an inl-
proycmcnt in the a1fairs OF the county can ne
| secured on Tuesday next, II every citizen Will
20 early to the polls and vote Tor the entire Kc~
| publican ticket, and without further pEem:'-
