ALTGELD HAS NO REGRETS.
His Reasons for Pardoning Anarchists
Stand ON Their Merits.

Stand Their Merits.
CHICAGO, June 30.--Altgeld is in town.
In reply to n reporter who asked him il he
had anything to say about his pardon of
the anarchists and the criticism which has
been made Of the act since its announce
ment, the governor said: My reasons for
pardoning the anarchists stand, and abuse
of the governor will not knock them down.
In the comments have seen there is only
abuse. There is no argument. They do
not mention the fact that the man who
was chief of police at the time says that
he has investigated the case thoroughly
and that he does not believe that there was
much in it. They do not mention the fact
that the jurymen got up and said that they
could not give the case u fair and i'm
partial trial They do not mention the
fact that the man who threw the bomb
was not brought into court and gave no
evidence whatever at the trial, that it was
not proven in the slightest measure that
the man who threw the bomb had any
connection with the men, was at all in.
cited to the act by the conduct of these
men, Or that he had ever even heard them
make speeches. In word, they leave my
reasons severely alone Mere abuse cannot
knock these reasons down. They are
there, and they must stand or fall on their
merits
