THE statement of the republican press
that Judge Alleged was nominated by the
Cook county delegation, and had no sup
port in the interior of the state. is as gross
fabrication as many other unfounded
claims of his enemies. Judge Altgeld
received total of sci votes in the con-
vention. to which number his own cour-
ty only contributed ell, showing that $50
votes or 165 more than those cast for
Gen. Black, his closest competitor, came
from the country districts. If Cook
county had been eliminated from the con-
test entirely. Judge Altgeld would have
been successful just the same. This cry
of the democratic gubernatorisl nominee
being weak in the country is all bosh, and
the republicans will find it out to
their sorrow next November. They are
merely shouting to keep up their courage
which is sadly affected at the presen,
time.
