CHICAGO, Nov 22-Tne methods display ed by
the Democratic party leaders prior to the election
in this county exceeded in daring ythng hitherto
known in local political history, but the after -e'eo-
ton schemes to secure control of the Legislature
and the election of Unit d States Senator have
| exceeded all these in point of unblushng ehicane
The official count has shown that the Legislature
is tie on JOINT ballot, but the count in one Of the
city Senatorial Districts was delayed, rs is
now shown to carry out II desperate purpose.
In the With Senatorial District taking the
lowest vote the State Presidential ticket, the
Republicans won by plurality ranging from four
hundred to five hundred. rhe Republican and
Democratic candidates for the State Senate ran
even until the Second Precinct of the Eighteenth
| Ward was reached which disclosed the fact, ac-
cording to the return of the judges that, while
every Republican received an average OF 40 votes
and every Democrat 900 in tho case OF the Senator
alono the figures were exactly reversed. The re-
turns also showed that the original f.-
urcs were erased and new ones substi-
tuted. Notwithstanding this palpabe and clumsy
manipulation. Democratic attorneys have been put
forward to dc end it, and TIM, make a contest III
the Legislature until such time as Senator of the
United States can be chosen With one exec otlon
every newspaper IN the city has condemned the
fraud but the purpose Of the patty to gain control
Of he legislative body by this line of procedure has
been clearly shown. On tho other hand, tle pubic
has apparently dreaded the prospect of IA dea Hook
IN the House and Senate over the Senatorship for
an indefinite period.
