THE CHICAGO BALLOT FRAUD.


CHICAGO, Dec. 16.-The parties charged with
participation in the Eighteenth ward election
frauds were before Judge BlodSett, in the fed
eral court, this morning. In the cases of all of
them except Gleason, motions were made to
quash the indictments, and Friday was set for
argument on this motion. In the case of Glea-
son, he was allowed until Thursday to plead.
Another arrest was made tonight, the per-
son arrested being w. J.. Gallagher. The com-
plant was made before a United States com-
missioner this afternoon, and charges Gallagher
with making a forged tally-sheet for the Second
precinct of the Eighteenth ward, by which
Brand, Democrat, was made to appear
to have a majority of ten votes in the
Sixth legislative district over Leman,
Republican, for State senator. The charge was
preferred by Melville Il. Stoner, editor of the
Daily News. 1t appears that Photographic cop
les of the forged tally sheet, in Gallagher's hand
writing. and in that of several other persons
under suspicion, were submitted to experts, who
pronounced the writing in the bogus tally sheet
the same as Gallaghers. The prisoner, it was
attempted to be shown during the federal
grand jury's investigation, took a mystic
rious ride in a hack, in company with
j. Z. Mackin and another man, on the night of
Nov. q, when, it is understood, the false ballots
were put into the ballot box Of the precinct men
toned. Gallagher was summoned before the
grand jury, but was not called on TO testify. He
gave bond tonight in $40, 900 to appear next
Saturday. Warden McGorigle, of the Cook
County Hospital, and Dennis Cavanaugh, a
saloon-keeper, became his s%ureties.
