viewing the history of the labor agitation and
the part borne in it by Kalloch, finding be has

ment, giving advice 10 them to parade the

disposition and temperament as to commit an
outbreak whenever it should suit his purpose;
that he has impeacbed the honesty of the whole

Tractno 1t to Bill. Ksng.

That the GLOBE may not be accused of parti-
sanship in the matter we quote from the mean
est Republican paper in the world the charge
that Bill King wrote the anonymous letter to
Springer. 1t is Washington telegram to the
Pioneer Press and is as follows:
There will be sensation in the Springer in
vestigating committee when E. B. Hay, the ex-
pert in penmanship, will give testimony. Mr..
Hay is a professional expert and his services are
engaged in all cases in the courts here involv-
ing the genuineness of handwritings. He has
been consulted by both Springer and Donnelly,
and had before him the anonymous letter and
three letters written by King and Finley
respectively, about the same number of words
in penmanship of each, Mr.. Hay compared the
a nonymous letter with the Others with
a microscope taking the same letter that ap-
pears in both. He will testify that in his opin.
ion ey Congressman William 8. King is the au-
thor of the anonymous letter. Your corres-
pondent sought Mr.. Hay to-day to ascertain
the ground of his opinion. He says that Fin
ley and King write the same style of penman-
ship. he never saw two men whose
writing compared as closely as theirs, even
in the formation of minute and
unusual letters. In the comparison of the an
onymous letter with ten pages of Finley's
handwriting he found ten resemblances. Com
pairing it with the same number of pages of
Kings eandwring he found fifty resemblanoes,
and will testify that it was either written by
King or is very remarkable imitation of his
handwriting. In comparing the letters of
Finley and King Hay found hundreds of resem-
blances. The anonymous letter may of course
be forgery, but if it is they consider it a very

CHICAGO, May 4. - The influence in our
wheat market to-day was, first, the
large buying of both options, June
and July, by the gang opening at sL09B

this point trading was very liberal, and the
brokers representing the unholy crowd were
evidently not anxious to advance until they
got their load. but the boys who opened 1t mp
made them pay the advance, however nnwil-
lingly they did it, selling up lively to Sl.ll1s.
The other was the premium of 3Ic per bushel
at times, and the difficulty in executing orders.
The traders have at last come to realizing
sense of the magnitude and strength of the
gang and would not trade in this option only in
direct settlement, aud whenever the trade gets
in this fix good bye commission business, as the
margins called on purchases or sales are
frightful. Actually freeze-out. Later Pri-
vate advices say, English and French markets
are much better at the close. The quick rally
of the morning has made the unholy mad, and
they have endeavored to force down the price
this afternoon with partial success. closing

There was 80 small portion Of the city In
which contesting tickets were run that the vote
yesterday was extremely light. In but three
precincts was there any contest and In each Of
those the Democrats won splendid victory.
THIRD pRECNcT-FouRTH WARD.
The contest here, or at any rate the election,
for there wasn't much of a contest, was lively
all day. And was one way all day for Mr..
Griggs as alderman, with the outcome Of 3ll
for Griggs and 80 for johnson, or about beat
of four to one. A good deal of interest centered
on the election for school inspector,
and the votes were pretty evenly
At that time Mr.. McCardy started in boom Of
his own in bringing out the ladies' to vote.
Athey, his opponent, wasn't backward in meet
ing the McCardy tactics and brought ont three
more female supporters than McCardy. There
were fifty-nlne female votes cast. The hrst one
exercising the privilege was Aunt Julia"
wife of Chsrles Edwards, the colored jenitor
in the United States custom house. She put
in her and her husbands vote for McCsrdy bat
it didn't save his bacon. MoOardy was defeat
ed by twenty majority. There was . large
crowd around the polls all day but the best or
der and good feeling was preserved, and the
utmost satisfaction expressed when the result
was announced.
FIRST PRECINCT OF THE FIFTH WARD.
In this precinct the contest between VIM.
Rhodes and Adam Gotzian made things lively.
1t was very evident Il. the start that Adam
was doomed The crowd was In favor of
Rhodes, and the voters who came and went
without delay were for Rhodes. Everything
was orderly and good-natnred. The Rhodes
men could afford to be good-natured, and. IL
being Gotzian's first introduction to political
lite, he was not aware aow badly he was being
beaten, and he was good-natured also. When
the count showed Rhodes 291 to 164 for Got
zian, he was nor quite as happy as he appeared
to be on the evening of the Republican pri-
mary.
FIRST PRECINCT, FOURTH WARD.
There was triangular fight in this precinct,
Chas. Ringwald carrying the Democratic ban
ner, Werner the Republican and Stillwell the
independent flag. Ringwald won handsomely,
having 1S1 votes ont of 332 cast.
The only ether contest was for justice of the
peace, and as Wood (Dem.) walked of with
over 700 majority in three watds it can scarcely
be styled contest.
