A LIVELY FALL CAMPAIGN.
The voters of Cook county will have reason to remem- ber the fall campaign of 1886. The judges of election who count the votes will have more reason to remember it. No less than four tickets have been placed in the field.
THE REPUBLICAN TICKET.
The Republican County Convention met at Battery D on August 28. J. L. Woodward called the convention to order. Ex-Governor John M. Hamilton was made chair- man and John J. Healy secretary. After considerable fig- uring the following ticket was nominated: County Treas- urer, George R. Davis; Sheriff, Canute R. Matson; County Clerk, Henry Wulff; County Judge, Mason B. Loomis ; Probate Judge, Joshua C. Knickerbocker ; Judges of the Superior Court, Rollin S. Williamson, Elliot Anthony, Kirk Hawes, Richard S. Tuthill; Clerk of Criminal Court, James H. Gilbert ; Clerk of Probate Court, Thomas W. Sennott ; County Commissioners, Henry Englehardt, Murray Nelson, William Williams, Frank Schubert, J. Frank Aldrich.
George R. Davis, for County Treasurer, is forty-six years of age and is a native of Massachusetts. Enlisting as a private in a Massachusetts regiment, he became a captain, and, his regiment disbanding, he organized a cavalry regi- ment in Rhode Island and commanded it during the Rebel- lion. In 1868 he entered the insurance business with Robert H. Walker. In 1878 he was elected congressman from the second district, was reelected in 1880, and in 1882 represented the third district. Some people say that
69

THE POLITICAL HISTORY OF CHICAGO.
his nomination proclaims a truce between the factions of Davis and of Mason in the third district ; Mason having been selected for congress in Davis' old place.
Henry Wulff, for County Clerk, was born in Germany in 1848. He was at one time the president of the board of trustees of the Town of Jefferson.
James H. Gilbert, for Clerk of the Ciminal Court, was born in Toronto, Ont., in 1844. He was admitted to the bar in 1867, when he formed a real estate partnership with Robert C. Givins. Elected to the reform council in 1875, he was acting mayor of the city in 1878. In 1883 he was appointed Deputy Collector of Customs.
Mason B. Loomis, for County Judge, was born in Ohio in 1838. He was admitted to the bar in 1861. During his stay in Kankakee, in 1868, he was elected District Attor- ney. In 1877 he was elected County Judge of Cook County, served five years and has since been a member of the law firm of Needham & Loomis.
For County Commissioners: Murray Nelson, the well- known board of trade man, declined to run; Henry Engel- hardt is a cigarmaker; Frank Schubert is forty-one years old and was Collector for the West Town.
Sketches of others on the ticket will be found elsewhere.
The prominent feature of the convention was the utter depression of the friends of "Jack" Stephens, who not only was beaten by Mr. Matson for Sheriff, but lost the Criminal Court clerkship which he and his friends con- sidered it safe to fall back on. The following circular extensively distributed created quite a sensation in political circles:
HEADQUARTERS REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE, SEPT. 16, 1886.
TO THE TAX PAYERS OF COOK COUNTY:
Gentlemen,-The Republican party appeals to you this fall for support.
71
A LIVELY FALL CAMPAIGN.
It bases its appeal upon the grand record it has made in the past for honesty and efficiency, and upon the failure of the Democratic party to assume responsibility for public trusts confided to it.
Every public office of consequence in this County has been administered by faithful Republicans, while corrupt or incompetent Democrats claim the credit.
Democrats claim credit for maintaining the efficiency of the police force, but the Chief of Police, Inspector of Police and half of the Captains are Republicans. Democrats claim credit for administering the postoffice properly.
· Everybody knows that the office is really run by the Republican Assistant Postmaster and his efficient Republi- can subordinates. The alleged Postmaster although a Denocrat dare not turn out the Assistant Postmaster, for the falsity of Democratic claims would then be too apparent.
The Chief Deputies of the customs and internal revenue offices, and of the county offices are Republicans, and are still retained on account of their efficiency.
Why not give credit there where it is due?
Vote against the pretentious frauds who gain credit for the work of Republicans by false pretenses!
Support the Republican party and its nominees. It is not ashamed of its responsibility to the people, and needs no aid from Democrats to administer public trusts.
REPUBLICAN CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
The Democratic County Convention met at the North Side Turner Hall on September 15. John Colvin, chair- man of the Democratic county central committee, called the convention to order. Moses J. Wentworth was elected chairman and Henry J. Murray secretary. A recess was taker to 1:55 o'clock. County Commissioners were first

nominated as follows: St. Clair Sutherland, John A. King, John Dowdle, Bernhard Niebling and Ernst Hum- mel. For Superior Court Judges: Egbert Jamieson, Frank Baker, John P. Altgelt and Jeremiah Leaming were nominated. Richard Prendergast was nominated County Court Judge and J. C. Knickerbocker, whose name was suggested by Judge Prendergast to the convention, and who had been already nominated by the Republicans, was nominated for Probate Court Judge. It was considered a graceful act on the part of Mr. Prendergast, who was snubbed by the Republican convention. Then followed the nomination of County Superintendent of Schools, Charles Parker. The great fight occurred over the Shrievalty nomination. When the name of John M. Dunphy was mentioned the hall trembled with enthu- siasm. The gallery especially was wild. In the midst of the uproar Alderman Cullerton arose and nominated William Best. Michael McInerney was also nominated from the Town of Lake. Best was declared the nominee of the convention, polling 188 votes ; Dunphy 93, and McInerney 28. Michael Schwcisthal was named for Treas- urer, James M. Doyle for Clerk of the Criminal, John W. Kleckner for Probate Court Clerk, and Michael McInerney for County Clerk. Mr. Best declined, and John Mattocks was substituted.
John Mattocks is an attorney and ex-county com- missioner.
For County Commissioners: Mr. Sutherland was born in Baltimore in 1819, and is an old-time Democrat. He is interested in the stone business on the Illinois & Michigan Canal. He is above reproach.
John Dowdle is thirty-two years old, and a native of Chicago. He is of the stone firin of Robinson, Dowdle & Mc Wirter, and is president of the Young Men's Tenper- ance Society on the North Side.

The United Labor Convention met in the North Side Turner Hall, September 25. At 2:30 P. M., C. F. Seib, secretary of the committee of twenty-one, called the con- vention to order. After some confusion, C. G. Dixon was elected chairman by a vote of 209. The friends of Mr. McAbee, who polled 155 votes, and Sawyer, who polled 20

WHEREAS, We deem it advisable at this time to more clearly define our position and give expression to our views of the needs of the wage-workers of the city of Chicago and Cook County; and
WHEREAS, The duly accredited delegates chosen by regularly convened caucuses of fellow-workmen of their several organized trades and assemblics of the Knights of Labor were denied the right to participate in the late so-called Labor Convention; therefore:
Resolved, That it be the first duty of this convention to repudiate and denounce the action of the self-constituted committee of twenty- one, acting as a committee on credentials, in falsely assuming to represent the sentiments of the organized labor in Chicago and Cook County, and ostracising and disfranchising a large portion of the regularly chosen delegates to the convention called for September 23.
Resolved, That we are here assembled to vindicate our rights as the untrammeled representatives of honest labor to rebuke the in- solence and presumption of said committee, and set the seal of popu- lar condemnation upon their high-handed and unprecedented arrogance.
Resolved, That the congressional and legislative nominees of this convention of the Cook County Labor League be required to pledge themselves to use their honest endeavors to obtain laws for the protection of labor and the repeal of those detrimental to it; to favor the proposed amendment to the state constitution for the aboli-
