THE ICman- Brand senatorial fraud in
vestigation at Chicago has taken queer
turn. Judge Biodgett, Of the United States
district court decided that the jury might
examine the ballots to see if the congress
sonsl vote had been tamperee with.
The vote for senator was also counted by
the jury against the protest Of the
democratic members. 1t was found, to
the utter surprise of every one, that 495
ballots had been cast for Brand, and but
19S for Lcman, giving the former a gain
of "a and tho latter loss of 81,
ss against tho official returns.
Even the republican judge and
supervisor were recorded as voting for
Brand. Since these facts became known,
however, over 300 cit.zons have sworn
that they voted for Loman in the eigh
toenth precinct. Brands name was found
to be printed on many Of the republican
tickets in the box. Many reputable citi-
zens have sworn that they did not vote
the ballots found in tho box which bear
their number. 1t is clear that the tickets
in the box were nut thero after the oec-
tion, and it will be n gross failure of JUS
ticc if the perpetrators Of the vile fraud
do not speedily land in the psnitentiary,

THE verdict in the Hough case will be
accepted with satisfaction. While the
evidence suaiccd 10 show the absence of
malice, yet the defendant was not free from
guilt in that his o0ausc was the result of
his voluntary act in being in bad COM
pauy. In his casl justice is tempered
with mercy in n WY that docs credit to
the common sense Of the Jury. Next.
