STEALING A SENATOR.
Glaring Frauds Discovered in
Chicago.
A GENERAL BELIEF THAT LFMAN
WILL GET HIS SEAT.

NEW YORK, Nov pa special from Chicago to
the Times says that the evidence of fraud commit
ted in the second precinct Of the eighteenth ward q
this city, on the vote of Leman and Brand, candi.
dates for State Senator, is aceumulating day by
day. From evidence heard by the federal grand
jury, 1t would appear that two deliberate manipula-
tions OF The ballot had been made. The first was in
taking the original ballots and sticking Brand
pastors over Leman's name, and fixing up the poll
book and tally sheets to correspond. fhen as there
appeared chance for recount counterfeit Re-
publican tickets bearing Brands name were sub
sututed for those bearing the pastors. 1t Is said
that there is evidence to show that last Friday
tam democrats engaged engraver to counterfeit
the autographed head of the Republican ticket and
then had printer print the split tickets found in
the box. The work was bungled as according 10
the numbers four of Leman's relatives voted for
Bra d. Over 300 voters have made affidavit that
they voted for Leman, while his name appears upon
but 1s2 ballo s. 1t is generally believed here that
Leman Will get bis seat, and the advices from
Springfield also indicate such result. The grand
jury has adjourned until Monday bat it is sao that
by a vote of s to they decided to indiot Dr.
Strasser, S. I. Shields, Peter Hansbrough judges
and Sullivan and Kelly, clerks of election in the
precinct. No arrests have been made and the
parties are said TO have left town. Governor Ham
ilton will give his decision Monday to which one
OF the candidates the certificate of election is to be
issued to.
CHICAGO, Nov 3O.-All doubt as to who printed
the spurious tickets which the grand jury Invests
gated aid discovered substituted for the oIei-
nal baots in the second precinct of the eighteenth
ward, is now dispelled in the minds of those push
ing the case, and the eyideuce at hand indicates
that the wosk was personally performed by W. IL.
Wright, Jr. partner of The firm of p. L. Hanscomb
Co., lO4 Madison street. A witness has been ob-
tanned who will swear that Mr.. Wright printed the
tickets the afternoon of November Il, with type
received in the morning from Farmer. Little & Co.
and it is generally understood that Vandercook s.
Co. engraved the head for the split ticket dis
patch from Springfield states that the State board
of canvassers have been summoned before Judge
Phillips TO show why they should no. be compelled
by writ of Inandamus TO report Brands election to
tne State Senate according to the face of the re-
turns.
LATER.
The Times today Gays: "The evidence of fraud In
the second precinct OF the 18th ward is now posi-
tive and this shown to Brand yesterday after
nooa, whereupon he telegraphed to stop the manda-
mus proceedings anu be will now make no effort to
obtain his seat" The Times also claims that the
Democrats will make no further effort to control
the legislature.

WASHINGTON; Nov. 3o.-Mr. N. j. GARNER,
United States Consul General at Berne, Switzer-
land reports to the Secretary of State that Russian
wheat is now driving American wheat out of the
markets of Switzerland and South Germany. "The
Russian wheat Dealers" he says, "strain every
nerve to supply the markets of Central and South
westerniEuIope and they supported ia their en-
ceayor by the low cost of transportation both by
land and Sea and river steamers, in consequence Of
which Russian wheat is offered at very low figure.
These circumstances cause constant increase in
the export of wheat from Russia into Italy, South
Germany and Switzerland via Genoa. MaIsellles,
Antwerp and Rotterdam. so that this country is
now entirely supplied with Russian wheat" If
American wheat is TO regain command of these
markets both its price and costs of transportat ion
Mr.. Oramer said, must be reduced.
