Personscl si Publlt foe Demoeralie Candidates Opltion Retarding Ticket, THE CONVENTION. BIBCS-EYS VIEW. The County Democratic Convention held yesterday over the river In TJblleh's Hail, on North ark street. It wu a lively body that want to the Catherine spot, and tared all day. The hoar of assembling wu 10 o'clock in the moraine When the eon ventlon adjourned it wee exactly twenty minutes of 6 in the evening.

The eonvention in Far well Bail on Tuesday very badly de moralised the wheel-horses of the Demo cratic tern-eat. Its nominations broke them all an, so to speak. A rest amount ef Intro- dcetory work was tried before the Demoe-raer had the courage to faee one another, and when ther did it was to make nominations that were at a discount with the delegates even while they were filing oat ol the ball. It la not an unusual eyent here or anywhere else to have noisy, confusing, bitter conventions. Yesterday's was all that, and more too.

Hike Corcoran or soma other public-spirited lndlridnal raa a bar in one of the rooms adjoining the main assembly room, and there kindred spirits mingled, before, daring, and after the nominations of the several candidate. Another feature of the oeeaslon was the posse of police that had been sent over by Chief of Police Austin Doyle and his assistant Simon O'DonnolL The patrolmen were In charge of the hall, and the hall was mnder the care of flynes W. J. Hvnes. who is said to have onee ran for office In Chicago.

There were two chairmen to the convention. It "kept open" from 10 e'eloek till nearly 8 o'clock, and they took spells to keep the machine moving. Barvey D. Oolvln's friends were boasting at 9:30 o'clock that they would have a walkaway on the County Treasurers hip; at o'clock a committee waa on the road to civUT ran iva to ovkkix. who carried off the prize None cf the golng-out County Commis sioners were named bat Mr.

Bradley, anl he withdrew gracefully. Fitzgerald was busy, bat not in that linn. Hoffmann waent mentioned. either waa Lenzeo, although the latter has repeatedly said he was not in the field. One of the hardest hits that Carter Barrlaon and his crowd received was over the head of Judge Moore The Judge was a candidate for re-election, and developed some strength.

but the delegates dropped him when Harri- soa was called to their minds. Judge Moore is a Kentaeklan: so Is Harrison; they are sup posed to be partial to each other. Hmicc the opposition to the present Incumbent of the Sifperior Oonrt There were a few respectable citizens who were In the crowd, and who looked in and took in the fan. Some of these were John Forsythe, Michael Eeeley, A. Btorey.

J. Hynes rapped the crowd to order; that is, as fair order as the "convention" observed daring the session. Messrs. Colvin. Bynn, and McDonald were appointed a committee to "see that the del agates took their seats," and Senator Bobin son went oat into the hallway and called the "b'yea" in from the beer-bar.

that ran ia brisk opposition to the other convention. Alter half an hoar's delay, swapping, elec tioneering, trading, and noise generally. Mr. Hynes called the body again to order. The meat of the delegates seemed to be ashamed of their badges, and the Chairman had re peatedly to teach his class where and how to expose the bine calico that had been given them ia the star chamber meeting of the en Sincere.

Mr. Hynes then made some more remark as follows: tastily beating on the table wua tae gavel, gentleman, I ssy (more beating for about a minute), it has devolved upon me as Chairman of the County Central Committee Of Cook Oountv to call thia convention to order.

I warn you that if anybody violates these In junctions hie name will be called before the convention.

I "In now calling yoa to begin bustoees. I simply want to refresh your recollection of our experience in the past. Whenever we have had an jtrderly. deliberate convention, we have succeeded in selecting a good ticket. sad elected It at tne polls.

Whenever we cave bad a disorderly and turbulent convention the public hae undertaken to teach as a lesson that tbe party which eould not conduct themselves should not be trusted to conduct the public affairs. So tbe first daty of every delegate here to-day will be In assisting the Chair in preserving absolute order and perfect decorum. Applause. Any delegate that comes here in the Interest of the Democratic party will reeognise the value of thia adviee. and est upon the suggestion.

Any delegate who cornea here making the interests of the Democratic party sas-servientto the interests of sny individual Is unworthy to be trusted with the custody of the Interest of the party. Applause. i "The success of the ticket this fall pat forward by the Demeeiatie Convention will depend upon your judgment and patriotism today. It is in your power to nominate a ticket that will receive the Indorsement of the majority of tbe votes of Cook County. It is equally In your power to put forward a ticket that will not receive a majority.

Tour candidates must possess two kinds of qaelitlee I speak to all candidates what ths party demands; he must have integrity, he must have capacity for discharging the duty of the office for which he shall be nominated, he must hsve in him the elements that will draw to bis support the enure Democratic party, and be must have In him also the elements to draw to his support a majority of the neutral voters of Cook County. Each party to-day In Cook Coanly, In my opinion, is In a minority, and the majorities are made up of the great neutral party of voters that lies between the two parties, and whoae votes are scoured by the best ticket. If you keep this consideration in view to-day. gentlemen, yoa can nominate a ticket which will UMNO SDCCBSS TO THE PUTT. and you can.

by suoeoss this leil. make Illinois tbe great battle-lleld of the Presidential campaign in 1H80. Loud applause. Make every consideration subservient to that. This is but a skiimi.b on the eve of the great Presidential battle next year.

We must be ready to make sacrifices to win the high prize. Let as win this victory this fall in this skirmish and it places Illinois where she used to stscd when Douglas represented her in the National Congress again tne battlefield of tne two great political parties. ILoud applause. If yoa have the good sense and the patriotism to keep these considerations in view, and be controlled in your votes for the candidates by them, ws will have a ticket to present to the Duolia at the elose of this convention to day that will be assured of undoubted success. Hoping that that wiil be the result of oar deliberations, I now place before you In nomination for temporary Chairman of this convention the Hon.

L. B. Otis. (Applause. The nomination ol edge L.

a. uus was de clared unanimous, and the receiver of tbe State Savings Institution Spencer's broken bank came to the fore. In taking the chair. Judge Otis said: "Gentlemen of the eonvention: 1 thank yoa heartily for the honor involved in the sslee- tiun of my name as temporary Chairman of this large and splendid convention ol tne ue- moeraey ot the city of Chicago and the county of Cook.

Prendergast. and Thomas Dwyer were chosen temporary Secretaries. Joe Chesterfield Mackin moved that a com mittee on credentials be appointed, to consist of nine members. Carried after some lively wrangling: The committee waa aa follows South Side Joe Maekin (First Ward). H.

T. Barry, of itake, Wm, Bkellv. of Liemont. Before the oonventien had moved out ot the trouble whieh came with the appointment of tbe Committee on Credentials, they planged into another sea ot strife. That wss tbe selection ot a Committee on Permanent Organization, which was finally decided upon amid mush confusion.

The Permanent Or ganisation Committee was appointed by the Chair, as luuowa: jseivuie w. runer, Fourth Ward: ri. M. Bnetldeu. rilth Ward: O.

Kelly. Eighth Ward; Frank Agnew. Eigh teenth ard: ueorge u. riant, of lake. An attempt was made to have the convention take a recess for three-quarters of an boar, bat there was tbe usual Democratic speech-making and noise, co one being able to tell what waa going on- Then the convention had nothing to do for a while, and aa they didn want to throw away the time altogether, they listened to Charley Cameron, wbe made a speech.

Be thought the convention vu tne most impor tant to be held here before the great fight of 18S0; this campaign was a skirmish, and he wss sure if they would get votes enough they would be successful, lie talked to tnem like a pedagogue, and told them tbey should be have themselves and act Use men, even it they didn feel very stalwart, tie believed that if they put op good men they would make a lively fight. The old talk about the great cipher dispatches was renewed tor tbe other side bat It failed to call out enthusiasm. The people had selected their man at the last Presidential election said Charier. and tbelr man had been Chosen ana had re ceived 250.000 oi a i MUOKITT or TUB POPtTLAX TOT. The delegates didn't seem to take much stock in Cameron speech, and started asm au convention by themselves at the rear of the hall, and had their own speaker.

There were sev eral ehu-ces made against ths Bepubliean party by both speakers whe talked, but they were listened to by but few In tbe hall, i Tbey did not want to hear Charley Cameron, and told him so plainly that nc soon stepped ao wn and out. I Jim ji. Jjooiimo, was caiiea tor oy sev eral persons, and. as he never loses a ebanec to make a speech, he came forward. He allied attention, be said, to a fact that bad not yet been noticed oy any speaxeroroy the press.

That was. that Ohio, in 1878. had only 150.000 of a population larger than Illinois then bad. -Ohio was then the third HUM in the ITnlOB and Illinois was the fourth. In 1876 Ohio had votes, and Illinois tbe same year polled 660.000 votes.

He claimed that there were now from 650. OOO te 700.000 voters now In Illinois, and or these be afErmed 80 per cent were Democrats, i The tronhle with ths Democratic party SIB oe I860. whan Donclaa ws at the head of it. was. that there had never been any organisation to be ailed organization, lie predicted that In 18S0.

with fine organization, the Democratic party would roll no a majority of 40,000 In Illinois. Light applause. This waa given the delegates as eomethinarto build on. but it didn't saeeeed in mskiug them feel that tne rounaatioa was very firm. He began to talk himself hoarse, and m.

nitrhnr welL water. WSS breuffht to cool him down a little, lie then remarked that he bad not much more to ssy. Ap tianse.i He would add that tbe most ef the Democrats were laboring men, and these men workad with their bands (or their dally bread: they could not give much time to polities, but would do alt they eould for the suceese ef tbe Democratic Then -he called attention te the fact that la Cook County the Democracy I HAD WO ULUtU TkTW TO BTKAX for tbem to the public There waa tbe further fact that all tbe Soeialiats, the Greenbackers, the Independents, and ail other soeh organizations were composed of Democrats and laboring men. The -cry of this campaign should be the cry ot Andrew Jackson, but what that waa the son of the senator aid not suggest, and the delegates didn't guess. He knew they could pat ap a ticket that eould be defeated and he believed tbey could put I up ticket that eould carry the eounty by 10,000 majority.

He took another libation, of welt, water, and retired. i Then there wss a pause of ten minutes, which was filled in by eaacustae. trsdins. policemen, noise, and sueb things. Aaward t.

There was still room to Improve the time. the Committee on credentials remaining out. It was an open secret that there were fierce contests in tbe Eighteenth Ward, the Fourteenth Ward, the Eighth War 1, and Archer avenue was much deranged.

Then one Keoua-h arose and wanted a com' mittee sent after the Committee on Creden tials, aa it had evidently lost itself.

There was a meeting of the Yoono- Van's Auxiliary Club of the North Side at Norden Ball, corner ot Chicago avenue and Larrabee street, last evening. Tbe meeting was called to order br the President of tbe club. Bamuel Collysr. who Introduced tbe Hon. Elliot Anthony as the speaker of the evening, jar.

Ao-tnonv said the meeting bad been sailed for the purpose of consultation regarding the course to pursue In the campaign. The importance ot Chicago aa a political center should make voters particularly careful about the character of local elections. The leading of tbe country. Senator Blaine emotguie number. rased Chicago at its -true, Importance when tbey considered It the key to most of the Northwestern States.

If the voters, and especially the young voters, aa represented by the auxiliary club, would bead together and be unanimous unon their candidates, they were certain of success. Their 00-onente, tbe Democrats. North aad South, had combined, and were bringing op the old issues, and nhenever the loyal and true Bepublieans met them on their own gronn i they brought an the er of the 'nloodv shirt. Bill Springer, of Illinois, and Aiske Blsekbarn. of Kentucky, bad staled openly ia public speecnec that A alio at suc cess meant tbe undoing of the war me ares, so obnoxious to tbe tioatn.

Mr. Anthony said he was proud to have been Chairman of tne eon von uon wnicn put soon a ticket In ths field. He had known the Bon. Sidney Smith, tbe nominee tor juageei tne uuperior court, irom hie youth. Be was a man of fine principles, and an able and eminent jurist: earnest and firm la all his actions, and possessing great do wars of comprehension.

There waa not a maa In tha State whe eould grasp a question and see all there was in it quicker than Mr. Smith, and no better or stronger eaadidate for the oaoe could hsve been selected. Of tbe ether ean- dldatea the same might be said. If W. Johnson was elected County Treasurer, voters migb rest assured that when their taxes were paid into the treasury the money would be paid out strictly in accordance with the law.

and wnen he lert every dollar would be honestly accounted for. Mr. Healy, who waa nominated for Clerk ot the Superior Court, was not only an honest and representative man. but waa a veteran soldier. Tbe candidates on tbe ticket for County Commissioners wsre ail good men.

as was also Alex. Woleott. the candidate for county Surveyor. who was educated and accomplisaed. and in every Wav fltieit for tha naeftlon.

Taken altogether, he never knew of a ticket in Cook County that bad so-many elements of strength. It was the best oae in the field for tne past twenty-five years. He hoped the voters and managers would net lea tbe ad. vantage already gained. False registering was aireaay go lag on.

and it wouM not do to neglect the polls. Carter Harrison's crowd naa beaten Harvey u. Colvin out 01 the nomination for Treasurer I tbe Democratic Convention, and tbe Demo crats would not enthuse to any great extent over uuerin. With Johnson be would undertake to beat Guerin out of his boots, ana, with Sidney Smith. "Dolph Moses would be beaten so completely out of bis boots that he would go oareroot for tlx months.

At tbe close ot Mr. Anthony's remarks tbe Chair announced that Zaett Chandler, a maa who bated Jeff Davis aad State rights, and was not afraid to say so. would address the citizens of Chieago upon the issues of the day on-Fnday evening of next week, the place to be announced.

A FETRTLNJUfilT ENQUIRY.

To the Xdliorox Tae later Ons in We are now approaching our county elec tion, and many people are very anxious to kaow whether the nominees of the conven tion are of that class of Bepubilsans who usually bestow a large share of the patronage of the various offices upoa men who habitually fight us at tha polls. I kaow a large number of earnest Bepublieans who declare that they will votev for no man or men who are not determlaed to -bestow whatever favors they possess upoa their owa party trieads. If tbe party whose proudest boast la that it contains within its rants an overwhelming majority of the educated and Intelligent men of the country cannot furnish clerks and other officials to fill the positions under mea ho are elected by Bepunueaa votes, then the sooner we kaow it the better: but my opinion is. tbe party tbat saved tbe nation and has rovcraext it wua wisdom, ssgaeity. and prudence, omrlag and since tbe war.
