The Chicago o Anarchists.

NEW YORK. Nov. 9.-CharIes T. Burg
man. secretary of the California Defense
Fund association, on Oct. 90 addressed a
letter on behalf of that association to Hon.
James A. Whitney, of this city. asking
him to use his best endeavOrs to bring the
case of the condemned Chicago anarchists
before the I'm ted States supreme court
and to assist in their defense in whatever
manner possible. Mr.. Whitney has agreed
to act as counsel. In an interview Mr..
Whitney sa d he regarded the matter
purely from legal standpoint. He ex-
pressed no personal opinion of the cIrcum
stances from which the lamentable affair
arose. Every trial occurring under
conditions of popular excitement, he said,
is liable TO be uncOnsciOusly influenced.
What are sometimes called the technicalities
of the law are frequently the only protec-
tion of substantial rights, and if there has
been any error of law or fact in the trial of
these men. abundant opportunity for its
rectiication should be offered.
CHICAGO, Nov. 9.-Upon being shown
the New York dispatch relative to the case
of the Chicago anarchists being taken up to
the supreme court of the United States,
their counsel, Capt. Black. laughed and
said:

FALSE, As USUAL.
NO Truth in a Reported Rupture
Between Ames and Glenn.

The campaign is ended. The election is
over No amount of lying can now have
any bearing upon the results. 1t is but a
question of who secured the most legiti-
mate votes for governor, Still the DISPOSE
ton of the Journal to oppose and traduce
Mayor Ames on every possible occasion Is
apparent in its columns. Last night. for
no other evident reason than pure cusSed-
neSs,'' it published characteristic screed
under the suggestive caption of ''Cronies
Fall Out, which is utterly without founda-
ton. 1t charges Mayor Ames and Col.
Glenn with having had terrible quarrel,
and the like, and also that Adjt. Ward SAID:
There has been no Misunderstanding only
a little unpleaSantneSS that will be settled
to night" In the first place, the frightful
quarrel reported in the columns of the
evening paper never occurred, and in the
second place, the alleged interview with
Adjt. Ward is a child of the imagination of
some fiighty and theoretical newsgath-
erer. Last evening Mayor Ames and Col.
Glenn took dinner together. and discussed
the political situation with not word that
would give the faintest suspicion Of i'll
feelings, and when they were questioned

CASTIGATED BY CASTLE.
The Late Chairman FeilS Why NC
Gill was knockpd Out.


The average Republican is engaged at
this time in jumping upon this boss or that
as being responsible for the calamity which
has Overtaken the party in the state. Of
all the bosses, however, Loren Fletcher
suffers most and upon his devoted head
every disappointed and disgruntled politician
is pouring the vialS of his wrath. He is
charged with having discovered McGill and
trotted b III out. and brought the party to
to the verge of ruin. Every politician has
some different cause to assign, but Loren
catches the bulk of the blame. He how
ever. in recent interview. charged the dis
astr0us result upon the demOral;zed cond-
ton in which affairs had been left by the
late state comm ttee. This brought out
Capt. IL. A. Castle, who publishes the fol-
lowing retOrt courteous:
Now, every one supposed Loren would find
q small hole to crawl out of, but this one is
almost too mIr roscopic to be credible. The
previous committee carried the state at the
last election by over 41,U00 majority. and
elected five congressman, with total collec-
ton and disbursement of campaign funds
amounting to 1925. The present commits ee
represented b MIR. Newell and Secretary
Heatwole, the active workers. abored zeal
Ously, but the OdOr and the Odium of Pills
buryism and Fletcherism rested on the worthy
head of the ticket, and the contrast is visible
to a disgusted world. The''previouS commit

the Republicans of the Fourth district said to
him two years ago, and as the people of Min

the extent of S5 600. the whole of the ap-
preparation made by congress for their sup
port and in the event that that sum proves
insufficient to subsist them through the
winter months or until they are able to pro-
vide for themselves; that the interior de-

Gen. Flower EXni0sts the Skeleton

bad Odor to heaven. Each prominent mem-
/ ber is snarling at the other and accusing
him of wrecking the party. Gen. Mark d.

His revelation. which brings out a large

Yes, we lost three congressmeu this time
In the FIRST district there was long contest
before the nominating convention between
Milo White. the present congressman, Mark
ii. d. nnCll and John A. Lovely, who was
finally nominated by majority of one but
not until so much bad BIOL had been in
jected into the fight that w lite, who had
been twice honored by the nomination and
election, bolted and took with him a number
OF his friends to the support of Judge
Wilson. the Democratic nominee.
The Thrl district, in which
Judge Mcdonald defeated Mr.. Herbert, has
been a close district for many years. Mr..
Herbert was strong in his own county where
be was known, but he was not known in the
western part of the district, where every
body knew his opponent, who had been dis
we'll Moreover. Mr.. Herbert was grossly
misrepresented by the Democrats as a cand.-
date of the rings, and all that. The labor
vote generally went TO the Democrats and
elected Edmund Rice l can account for
this only on the ground that the leaders in
the labor organizations of st. Paul and Min
neapoliS are nearly all Democrats and used
their positions in the interest OF their party
Notwithstanding that party had practically
kicked the laboring men out OF its conveu-
tol, while the Republicans lad favored
t1em in theirs. The fight for governor was d
hot one. You see, before the convention A.
Z. McGill, Charles A. Gilman and ex-Speaker
Gibbs were candidates for the gnbernatorial
nomination. Gilman was determined to have
it, but knew that McGil was stronger man
than he in the party. In order to break Nc
Gill down before the convention Gilman and
his friends circulated the most outrageously
false stories that McGill was in with the riuGs
and the bosses and corruptiOnistS generalE,
and especially that he WAS the tool of the
Minneapolis wheat ring which had beared
the market down to 81 cents a buShel. After
the nomination of McGill these villainOus
charges were reiterated by the Democrats,
who turned for the proof OF them to the words
of such Republicans as Charles 4. Gilman, e..
f. Kindred, and others of that ilk. Moreover.
Gilman, even after the nomination, was not
SUPP Jrter OF McGill. though of course he pre-
tended in public 10 be. His actions through
out were in strong contrast with the honor
able conduct of Mr.. Gibbs In addition to the
loss of such votes as Gilman and his friends
could QuIeUly control, the labor vote left us
because, as | have said, their organizations
are in the hands of simon-pure Democrats.

THE ROTTEN B0ROUGHs.
Many of the ii ares Returned DO
NOT Tally With the Poll Lists


nor Tally with the Poll Lists.
A curSOry survey of the northern portion
of the state has developed facts sufficient to
warrant DR.. AmeS in insttuting a contest
In many precincts the figures returned
neither tailed with the poll lists nor the first
reports made, suggesting fraudulent and
falsiied returns. 1t is the firm belief of
those of DR.. Ames' supporters who have
good facilities al their command. and who
have devoted the most careful attention to
securing and compiling the returns. that DR..
AmeS was the choice of the majority, and
that he is entitled to clear or safe plu-
rallty. Should a contest or a series of con-
tests enSue. there seems little doubt that
several precincts must be thrown out and
that DR.. Ames will thereby receive the
office honestly presented to HIN by the peo-
pie OF the state of Minnesota. In many of
the counties. it should be explained to the
credit of the judges of election. the election
and count were conducted strictly in accord
ance with law, although the Democratic
state executive committee feared differ
emily. and in accordance with that fear
placed shrewd men on guard to watch, and
for the detection of expected irregularities.
Yet the Irregularities actually detected, and
the fraudulent vote run down amount to
not little. 1t was found that precincts
supplied the returning boards with major
tiles for McGill amounting to deal more
than there are inhabitants in the precincts,
and that upwards of a thousand voters
were c0lonized from Dakota. These facts
will all come out in the contest which
seems unavoidable in the issue of honesty.
Col. Glenn, chairman of the state executive
committee, will prosecute the contest to
the end. He has in his pOSsessesSiOn facts
that may serve to incleaSe the number of
convicts in the state penitentiary He says
that twenty-one of our best attorneys have
returned from the various counties of the
state, and none have failed to discover
things connected with the vote upon which
no other construction can be placed than
that the Republican party is guilty Of gross
frauds.
