The platform set forth that the desirable object of tem- perance could only be accomplished by elevating the moral standard of the people throughi enlightened education, and not by sumptuary or special legislation. The right of any one or class of individuals to prescribe how Sunday or any day shall be enjoyed by a free people in a free republic was denied; licenses should be refused to persons of bad repute; inspectors of beverages should be appointed; arbitrary ar- rests by thic police should be stopped; law and order should be observed, but not at the expense of personal liberty.
The nominating convention met at 205 East Randolph street October 24. Henry Greenebaum presided; T. M. Halpin was secretary.

referred to the fact that there was a proscriptive and intol- erant spirit abroad, he urged the nomination of candidates for their personal fitness, honesty and ability. Mr. Hesing offered resolutions indorsing the platform adopted at Kings- bury Hall October 4, and fixing but one term for City Treasurer and recommending S. S. Hayes as City Comp- troller. The resolutions were adopted. The following nominations werc then made: For Mayor, H. D. Colvin; for City Treasurer, Daniel O'Hara; for City Collector, George Von Hollen; for City Assessor, Charles Dennehy; for Superior Court Judge, S. M. Moore; for County Court Judge, M. R. M. Wallace; for County Clerk, Hermann Lieb; for Clerk of the Criminal Court, Austin J. Doyle; for County Superintendent of Schools, George D. Plant; for County Commissioners, Christian Busse, John Herting, William P. Burdick, Thomas Lonergan and A. B. Johnson. Mark Sheridan named C. A. Reno as. Police Commissioner for the West Side and he was nominated. Egbert Jamieson was subsequently selected for City Attorncy and Martin Scully for Police Court Clerk.
On Saturday, October 18, 1873, in the Grand Pacific the opposition put up the following ticket : For Mayor, L. L. Bond ; for City Treasurer, David A. Gage ; for City Col- lector, A. L. Morrison ; for City Assessor, W. H. P. Gray; for City Attorney, I. H. Stiles ; for Police Court Clerk, C. R. Matson ; for Judge of Superior Court, Wm. H. Porter ; for Judge of County Court, M. R. M. Wallace ; for Coun- ty Clerk, J. W. Brockway ; for Clerk of Criminal Court, W. K. Sullivan ; for County Treasurer, Phillip Wadsworth; for Superintendent of Schools, A. G. Lane ; for County Commissioners, S. Olin, A. J. Galloway, William M. Laughlin, W. B. Bateham, and S. W. Kingsley ; for Police Commissioner, Reuben Cleveland.
The Peoples' Party ticket was elected by about ten thou- sand majority.
A MEMORABLE EVENT.
In the Sixth Senatorial District, of which the Eight- eenth Ward is a part, Henry W. Leman, republican, seemed to have been elected senator in 1884 over Rudolph Brand, democrat, by a few hundred votes, according to unofficial returns. The fact that the two parties were so close that a single vote in cither the Senate or House might control the election of a United States Senator made both parties very careful. The official canvass showed that the tally sheets and certificate from the Second Precinct of the Eighteenth Ward had been altered and forgcd, and made to show a decreased vote for Leman and an increased vote for Brand, sufficient to elect the latter by a majority of about ten votes. From the sworn returns of the Uni- ted States Supervisors, as well as from other collateral evi- dence, it was so evident a fraud that the Federal grand jury at Chicago, then in session, took jurisdiction of and investigated the matter. Meantime the County Canvass- ing Board, being powerless to go behind the returns, abstractcd the vote as it appeared and returned the same to the State Canvassing Board. This body heard such ev- idence as was available and proper, and following their action the Governor decided to issue the certificate of elec- tion to Leman, as being the actually elected senator. The Federal grand jury found several indictments, but after that body had adjourned new and important additional proofs of the fraud were discovered, and Joseph C. Mackin, William J. Gallagher, and Arthur Gleason were tried and convicted of conspiracy on a charge brought by information instead

of indictment. The two former were senteneed to two years' imprisonment. The ease was then taken by writ of error before Justice Harlan, of the United States Supreme Court, and Circuit Judge Gresham, sitting together.
Upon disagreement between them it was certified to the United States Supreme Court, mainly upon the question of the legality of the prosecution by information. It is still pending, the parties being under heavy bail awaiting decision. The state court took up the matter and in- dieted Mackin and Gallagher for violation of state law. Mackin testified before the state grand jury, and for the testimony given by him he was again indieted for perjury, tried, convicted, and is now serving a five-year sentence. The Illinois legislature, which under ordinary cireum- stances should have elected a United States Senator on January 20, 1885, was unable to do so for the reason that the House had failed to organize. When, however, it finally organized, the first day when it was possible to ballot for Senator was February 10. The House did bal- lot on that day, and an attempt was made in the Senate on February 13, but no quorum answering the two houses then met in joint convention. Day after day the conven- tion met, and ballot after ballot was taken, but the forces were so nearly even that if either side had an absentee the entire side would deeline to vote. Several ballots were taken when the convention was nearly full, yet but one person voted, each side being afraid of making a quorum and eleeting the opposite candidate. The Republican caucus nominee was John A. Logan, and the Democratie nominee was William R. Morrison. On February 26 it was expected an election might oeeur, when just before convening a Republican representative, R. E. Logan, dropped dead in the capitol. This caused a cessation in the active contest until his successor was elected. On March 20 Senator Bridges, a Democrat, died. Further

delay resulted, with occasional attempts at balloting, and on April 12 Representative Shaw, a Democrat, died. De- sultory balloting was had while awaiting the election of a successor, which most unexpectedly to both parties resulted in the election of a Republican. On May 14 the struggle was very exciting. After receiving for two ballots the united strength of his party, 101 votes, Morrison's name was withdrawn and Hon. Lambert Tree received most of his party strength, the Republicans declining to vote. Finally, on the 19th of May, after successors to all the de- ceased members had been seated, Logan was elected.
Hon. John A. Logan was reelected May 19, 1885, for six years, ending March 4, 1891. Upon the final, or 118th ballot, the vote in joint convention was: John A. Logan, 103; Lambert Tree, 96; John C. Black, 1; William R. Mor- rison, 1; John R. Hoxie, 1; John Scholfield, 1. Of these the Senators voted: Logan, 26; Tree, 24; Black, 1. The House members voted: Logan, 77; Tree, 72; Black, 1; Morrison, 1; Hoxie. 1; Scholfield, 1.
Outrages on the elective franchise like that perpetrated in the Eighteenth Ward caused agitation which eventuated in the new election law.
THE NEW ELECTION LAW.
This measure which, so to speak, is apt to revolutionize local politics, is the joint product of the Union League, the Citizen's Association, the Iroquois and the Commercial Clubs. The bill was drafted by a committee consisting of A. M. Pence, L. S. Gregory, and Alderman Thomas C. Clarke. To the Citizens' Association is due, in a great measure, the credit of its enactment by the Thirty-fourth General Assembly. The Citizens' Association presented the petition to the County Court and effected its submis- sion to the suffrages of the people. Mr. Beach was coun- sel for the Citizens' Association and the proceedings before the County Court. The law was carried in the fall election of 1885 by the following vote:

the Supreme Court affirmed it. A. M. Pence, W. C. Goudy, H. O. McDaid, and James W. Beach represented the interests of the bill, and H. P. Hurd and Adolph Moses were the attorneys on the other side. The matter was thoroughly argued, it being the earnest desire of both parties to thoroughly test the constitutionality of the measure.
The new election law revises the entire election law for cities which may, by vote of the people, adopt its provis- ions. Authorizes the County Court to appoint three com- missioners of elections, whose term of office shall be three years. Two of such commissioners shall be selected from the two leading political parties, one from each. Com- mission shall organize by electing one as chairman and one as secretary ; each shall file the oath of office and give bond of $10,000. Board shall provide all ballot- boxes, registry-books, poll-books, tally-sheets, blanks, and stationery for registry and elections, and for all incidental purposes. Board shall employ a chief clerk and addi- tional clerks, as may be necessary ; shall divide city into election precincts containing approximately 300 votes. Sixty days prior to election, board shall choose three judges of election for each precinct, who shall be citizens of the United States and household residents and voters in the precinct, of good repute, who can speak, read, and write the English language, skilled in the four fundamental rules of arithmetic, of good understanding and capable, who hold no office under the United States, the state, county, town, or city, and who are not candidates for office at the election. Also two clerks of election, possess- ing same qualifications as the judges, except that they need not be householders. Holding a position as notary public shall not disqualify either judges or clerks. At least one judge and one clerk shall be selected from each of the two leading political parties. Judges and clerks so

chosen shall, on notice, appear for examination before the board, and if found qualified, unless excused for old age or ill health, be bound to serve for one year. After service for one year shall not be compelled to serve during follow- ing three years, and shall be exempt from jury duty during and for two years after expiration of term. Failure to ap- pear or refusal to serve render liable to fine.
When list of judges is selected, report of same shall be made to County Court, asking their confirmation. The . County Court shall fix a day for hearing objections to their confirmation, giving public notice thereof by publication, with a list of the names. On hearing, the court may con- firm or reject such as public interest may require. Upon confirmation the court shall issue a commission for each judge and clerk, who shall thereupon become officers of the court and liable for contempt for any misbehavior in office. They shall then appear before the board, take the the oath of office, and receive their commissions. The board shall appoint a place for registry and cause the same to be fitted up- warm, light, and clean. No place of registration or polling place shall be kept where intoxicating liquors are sold. Lists of persons sent to the penitentiary shall be furnished monthly to the board by clerks of courts in the county, and the Governor shall annually furnish names of persons pardoned by him in the county. The proper officer of the city shall furnish, monthly, to the board the names and residences of all males over twenty-one years who have died during the month. The board shall keep record of, and furnish to judges of election the names and former residences of persons convicted of peni- tentiary offenses, and also pardons of same for guidance of judges. Public notice in newspapers of registration and elections shall be given by the board. Election day is made a legal holiday. One year's residence in the state, ninety days in the county, thirty days in the precinct, and

citizenship of the United States shall qualify a person as voter.
The judges of election constitute the board of registry for each precinct. They meet as such on Tuesday four weeks prior to election, and again on each of the two fol- lowing Tuesdays. The first two meetings for registry of applicants, the last for revision of lists. Meantime the clerks are required to canvass the precinct, and the result of their convass is used by the board in revising registry. When that is completed a public registry is hung up at place of registry, and the election commissioners shall cause copies of the same to be printed for use of voters of precinct, and, if deemed necessary, published in news- papers. Provision is made for registering persons omitted or rejected, on order of the election commissioners or of the County Court, after hearing. General registration shall be made prior to each Presidential election, and the applicant must personally appear.
At intermediate elections the general registration is examined and purged of non-residents or non-voters, and new voters are added, on application, and the registry shall be revised after a new canvass by the clerks.

If challenged, he is sworn to answer questions ; and, after hearing, may be allowed to vote or be rejected. If reject- ed, he may afterward produce and deliver his own affi- davit that he is a duly qualified voter, supported by affi- davit of a registered voter, whereupon his vote shall be received. The affidavits and a record of the facts shall be

Each political party may have a challenger at the polls; also at the registry. During canvass of the votes, the ehallengers and watchers of the canvass, consisting of one person designated in writing by each candidate, shall be admitted. The whole number of ballots shall first be counted, and any exeess above the number on the poll-list shall be drawn out and destroyed. The different kinds of ballots shall be placed in separate piles, and then eounted by tens by one judge, then handed to each of the other . judges, who shall also eount the same, when the third judge shall call off the names and the clerks shall tally each ten votes. The ballots shall, as soon as eounted, be strung upon twine in the order read, by tens. When the eanvass is completed, each judge in turn shall proelaim in a loud voice the total vote received by each candidate. Quadruple statements of the result shall be made, one of which shall be written in each of the poll-books used, and one each sent to the county clerk and one to the comp- · troller of the city, after attaching one eopy of each kind of ballot voted at the election to each return.
The tallies shall be sent, under seal, one to the election commissioners and one to the eity elerk. The poll-books which contain two of the statements or returns shall be placed in the ballot-box, and locked and sealed with a strip of paper containing the names of all the judges. One judge shall take the ballot-box, and another, of opposite politics, the key.
