The Governor Charges That Members Of
That Body Are Respousfble for the Al
legged Political Rottenness Of the Western
Metropolis, and May He Given . Chance
to Prove the Same-The Colored Confer
e1ss 1t Detroit.
CHICAGO, Dec. IA. Lively times arc
ahead Of the Chicago Civic Federation
committee on political action. 1t will
meet today to consider Governor Alt
gcld's illumination in reply to the attack
made upon him for his action in pardon
ing Chapman and McNulty, who were
sent to the penitentiary for alleged crimes
and misdemeanors under the election law.
William A. Giles is the chairman Of the
committee on political action, and in that
capacity he took the governor to task for
his action in the connection mentioned.
Governor Altgeld in his reply to the criti-
cism repeated in great part the arguments
made in his announcement Of the pardons
and then in reply to certain statements in
Giles criticism he made q sensational
charge against an indefinite number Of
the members Of the.C Civic Federation.
She Governor's Grave Charges.
Giles mnde the assertion that in the city
OF Chicago there is rottenness, plundering
and corruption everywhere. Here Is what
Governor Altgeld in his letter says to that:
''You say the conditions in our great city
OF Chicago are deplorable. that there is
spttenness, plundering. corruption, every
where agree with you. This is foreign to
the subject; but as you have introduced it
let me ask who caused this rottenness and
this corruption! Not the poor, not the
great masses of the people; it was the cor
rupting hand Of INSCRIPTIONS wealth,
which, no matter how infamous its work,
always wore the glove of respectability
That is to great extent the source Of the
corruption which is destroying us.
Civic Federation Men Accused.
'In recent years we have witnessed the
remarkable spectacle of men who made
great pretensiOns to respectability bribing
the assessor. bribing city councils, cor
rupting public officers, debauching legis-
latures, all for personal advantage. and
then turning around and contributing
money for the prosecution OF small Offend
ers; and II you will look over the list of
subscribers to the large sum your assOcia-
tion raised you will find there the names
OF some OF the men VINO are seOckhOluerS
in various corporations whichspent money
in Chicago and ut Springfield to secure
legislation, to defeat legislation. which
spent money to corrupt public officials in
order to gain an unjust advantage, and
which then paid to its stockholders the
fruits that were obtained by bribery and
corruption"
May He Asked to "Prove Up"
This is n serious charge, and 1t Is highly
probable the governor will be asked for q
bill OF particulars. Giles said as much.
ut is probable" said he, ''that tho gov
ernor's charges may be taken up by the
committee on political action. and that
the governor may be asked to be more
specific. After that, If the governor goes
into details, it is likely that the commit.
tee may go into an investigation Of the
charges which he has made"

Organised 1t Detroit to Oppose Injustice to
COlOred People.
DETROIT, Dec. 14.-The conference of
colored men which has been in session
here for two days has adopted an address
to the country which says that the status
Of the colOred race in the United States
bears closer analogy to that of denizens
than to the honorable and indefeasible
rights Of native born citizenship, and that
in at least three states of the Union citi-
xenship Is farce, which in default of alb.
solute protection should bo exchanged for
the panoply Of some more paternal form
Of government. The object Of the move
ment il defined to be the assertion of op-
position to every species Of injustice per-
petrated upoS the race; to render more
effective the moral, educational, and social
forces which freemen ought to exercise;
to form . compact national organization; !;
to assume new attitude among the citi-
zens of the nation, not unduly arrogant,
but one which shall resent the assumption
Of inferiority.
This, the address declares, it is necessary
to do after q generation Of selfish indiffer-
ence and un-American and non Christian
contempt. A plan Of permanent organi-
xation was presented and adopted. The
name selected is the National Federation
Of Colored Men. Representation shall be
by sections rather than by states. the
whole country to be divided into four sec
tions, in each Of which there shall be one
vice president and one secretary, who
shall be charged with organizing their re-
spcctive district. The following officers
were elected: President, d. H. Straker,
