HE CHICAGO FRAUD.
Conception of the Goldbugs shown In the
Illinois Returns.


Illinois Returns.
The Chicago goldite press is boast
ing that $4,000 more votes were polled
in Chicago than in New York This
is strong evidence of what the State
Register has claimed, that the goldites
carried the election in this state and
in the country by fraud.
Every body knows that Chicago is
hot as large city as New York. and
that the proportion OF votes to the
population should not be as large in
the former as in the latter city. When,
therefore, the returns show that the
smaller city east vote altogether out
OF proportion TO its inhabitants. and
50,C00 more than the larger city, there
must be behind these returns fraud
ulent scheme that has been worked out
successfully.
There IS no doubt in the minds of
those who have studied the returns
that the colonization of voters in Illi-
nois was carried ON by the wholesale.
Every congressional district in the
state where there was a chance to work
the scheme. the Seventeenth not ex-
cepted, was colonized and the vote in
fated by repeaters.
The vote in Sangamon county, for
instance. was over 1900 greater than
in 1892. The total vote OF Sangamon
county was 1912. This would gnify
that this county had over $4,000 popula-
ton. Everybody knows that there is
no such number of people in Sangamon
county. The increase of democratic
votes in this county since 1892 is not
more than normal, the democrats hav-
ing polled T.654 in 1892, and $3.50 in 1896,
or nearly 1900 more than four years
ago. If we add the populst vote of 1892
isl and two-thirds of the prohibition
list fabout 500) to the democratic vote
of 1892 the total is s.346, which is a DEM
ocratic increase of esq. This is fair
conclusion, allowing that the free sill
ver republicans who voted the democrat
ic ticket this year offset the gold demo-
crats who voted for Mckinley If the
republican voters had increased in the
same proportion as the democratic vot-
ers. they would have polled less than
republican voters come from? That
they were furnished either by coloniz-
ing or repeating is becoming more and
more evident as the vote is studied pre-.
cinet by precinct. There was gigantic
fraud perpetrated on the genuine elec-
torate of Illinois at the recent cleo
ton. 1t is shown by the vote in Chi.
cago more clearly than anywhere else,
and is more or less manifest i'm all the
cities of the state
Add the 1000 votes the republicans
might honestly have poIled in Sanga-
mon county to the $500 polled for the
democratic ticket and the total is 49,
E66, indicating population of nearly
10000, which il is probable a census
would show the county really has.
The tens of millions Of dollars oi
corruption fund raised by Hanna and
his associates, il is becoming more and
more evident was used for cole
nizing and repeating purposes. Let
the free-silver forces OF Sangamou
county bear the above facts and figures
in mind. They have s.566 voters
who form a solid phaanx. 1t is
doubtful, if the republicans could
count noses to-day, that they could find
their S,99s. Where did they get them

AS TO AN EXTRA SESSION.
Republican scheme for Agitafing Pr~-
lection.


In an interview predicting and favor-
ing an extra session of congress Senator
Sherman has said: I'VE have plenty Of
money and plenty of gold in the treas
ury and do not think that congress fx
called upon 10 take up the consideration
of any radical change in our present
financial system"
This is a practical admission by tine
Ohio senator, who is the chief counselor
in financial matters of the republican
party, that no necessity exists for an ez-
ira session.
The only substantial reason urged for
the calling of an extra session was the
need of revenue 10 protect the gold re-
serve and prevent the issue of bonds-
II there is plenty OF money in the treas
ury and the gold reserve is in no danger
this reason is removed.
The only object of an extra session,
therefore. would be to pass tariff bill,
not for revenue, but for protection; il,
other words. to keep pledges OF benefits
made to the bounty interests in return
for support in the campaign.
In doing this the republican admins
tration will not only offend the great
body of voters who oppose high protee-
ton and supported Mckinley on ae-
count of his financial policy. but viii
give a color cf proof to the charges that
the Hanna syndicate have a mortgages
on the Mckinley administration.
More than this, an extra session will
again bring a disturbing factor into
business. What the business interests
need more than anything else now il
complete relief from all political agila-
tion and menace. The prosperity of tbs
country depends upon the business neR
getting ample time TO establish renewed
activity without the fear of political
tinkering.
If the republicans care for the good
Will of the country they viii drop tha
subject Of an extra session.-St. Louir
Republic.
