CHICAGO, Nov. 26-The federal grand
jury renewed its Investigations a. to the
alleged frauds in the second precinct OF
the Eighteenth ward OF this city this
morning, according to the face of the re-
turns, from which Brand (Democrat) re-
ceiyed plurality oyer Leman (RepublI-
can for the state senate of over 300
votes. The jury called before it large
number of voters, all of whom declared
positively that they voted Republican
tickets with the name OF Leman printed
upon them, implying that the Repubii-
can tickets found in the box had been
placed there after the closing of the polls.
Nearly three hundred persons have
been summoned, who claim to have voted
the Republican ticket, vile the ballots
shoW that Leman received less than
two hundred votes.
The DAILY News Springfield dispatch
says: The Brand-Lemnn case was
reached by the state board Of canVassers
this morning. The members Of the Cook
county canYassing board arrived early
in the day and corrected the former En-
rors in the returns and they were then
accepted by the state board which
then canYassed the vote on congressman
In Cook county. When this was COM
pleSed the attorney for Leman outlined
the character of the alleged frauds in the
Eighteenth ward, and asked that the
members of the county canvasslDg board
be directed to give testimony as to the
condition of the tally sheets and poll
books canVassed by them. The board
decided o hold this testimony subject
20 the legal rights Of the board to con-
slder this testimony hereafter. The
members of the county board proceeded
to describe the same apparent changes
on the poll book. The members when
questioned stated the friends of Lemon
offered to produce testimony showing
fraud and that the returns were forged,
but they decided thst they had no right
to hear the testimony and were compelled
TO accept the face of the returns as voted.
The attorney for Lemon then
to read the afidavits showing fraud
in the disputed precincts. Mr.. Oberly,
chairman of the Democratic State Gen.
trail committee, demanded what right
they had to hear the testimony, to which
the attorney for Leman replied that the
board had distinctly reserved the right
to pass upon the legal bearing of the tes-

NEW YORK, Nov. 26.-Some days ago
the Journal of Commerce commented
unfavarsbly ON the Associated Press in
connection with the election returns
from New York, and expressed the
opinion that Whitelaw Reid of the Trib-
une had exercised an undue share of in.
fluence in the work. This mornings
Journal of Commerce contains an edi-
torjal on the subject which was written
after David d. Stone, the editor, had
inquired into the facts. It Is as follows:
The joint executive committee of the
western and New York associated press
met yesterday to investigate the COM
plants which have been made from both
parties concerning the reports of the late
political campaign, up to and including
the returns of elections. After g careful
sitting of the evidence, several facts of
public interest were established beyond
controversy, and we refer TO them
briefly in justice to ourselves
and others. The arrangements
for reporting the proceedings of the
conventions, the acceptance of tae nom
nations and the sayings and dOings Of
the several candidates were shown 10 be
as perfect as could well be devised and
wholly without partisan bals. Any
seeming partially TO one or the other
side in dispatches received was correct
ed ct once by Mr.William Henry Smith,
the general agent, and all that human
ingenuity could devise was done to give
reliable intelligence uncol0Ted by par
tlsan prejudice. We stated on the 18th
inst. that as other members of the ex.
ecutive committee had not been active
the recent election returns appeared
to have been collected under the entire
supervision of the editor of the Tribune.
The latter attended q meeting of the
board Just before the election and was
understood, in answer to q question from
the president, to have given sufficient
authority for such q statement. It is
now stated and accepted that he did
not intend by his answer TO give this
impression, and that as matter Of fact,
neither he nor any other of the commit
tee gave any personal attention to
the supervision of the returns.
In regard to the collection
of the New York state returns, the Jour
nal says that so far IS the action of the
action of the general manager Of the
Associated Press or the control of the
machinery Is concerned, there is no cause
for complaint, and continues as follows:
Exactly how the returns from this state
took on the partizan character they as
sumed We need not say. but we are sat
isf1ed that no orders or directions OF the
managers Of the Associated Press had
any share in contributing to that result
