CHARGES ARE ALL FALSE
Forman Must Have Known So at
the Time.
'If L Cannot Look with Respect Upon
the Commission Which Hold, If
Cannot Look Honest Men in the
Face, Then Do Not Want to Be
Governor of Illinois,"

SPRINGFIELD, H., Aug. 27.-Gov-
ernor Altgeld tonight gave to the press
his answer to the open letter recently
published by William S. Forman, at
lacking his administration and charg-
ing him with converting state money
to his own use.
Among other things he says:
My attention has been called to the
fact that while [ was away from home
you emerged from the brush and made
some insinuations against me, and also
made an attack upon two dead men.
While your entire article is made up
of malicious, false and slanderous
trash that has been repeatedly pub
lished in partisan newspapers, and
while all of it that any living man may
know anything about has by them
been branded false and malicious and
does not call for my further notice, it
is urged by prominent Democrats that
as you are trying to pose before the
people of this state. you should be
asked to step out of the shadow into
the sunlight and experience a new SEN
sation.
Why did you write that letter at
this time? Everything in it was old,
and you simply rehasaed SANDER.
Every insinuation and allegation you
made is false. and if you knew any
thing about the facts then, you knew
that you were making false insinua
tons If you knew anything about
the facts, and simply allowed your
political appointments to lead you
into this step, then you did thing
that was coWardly."
The governor goes on to show that
Forman had been turned down by his
neighbors in town and county conven-
tons, and that he was sore against
the administration because he believed
them to be instrumental in his discom-
future.
He closes by saying: eff you want
to destroy the party which once hon
ored you, would it not be more manly
to get out in front and join the Repub-
leans rather than to slap it while pro-
Tossing to still love it?
you say at the beginning of your
letter that you suppose it makes no
difference to me what you do in the
coming election in regard to my candi-
dacy. There you are mistaken. If I
cannot look with respect on the COM
mission by virtue of which I exercise
the functions of Office, then I do not
want to hold it; and If I cannot look
honest men in the face, then [ do not
want to be governor of Illinois, and,
therefore, repeat what I have said on
number of previous occasions: that
if my election depends upon your vote
then | do not want it,
