ALTGEID'S CHARGES
or Fraud In Iliipos Denied By Judge


CHICAGO. ILL, Jan. 20 Judge o. y.
Carter. head of the Chicago election com
mission. in letter addressed to ex-Gov-
ernor John p. Altgcld. Of Illinois. denies
his sweeping charges OF fraud i'm tho re-
cent election. especially as regards Chi
cago. and calls upon him % produce his
proofs. promising to thoroushly invest-
gate them.
The charges were ui. ll speech de-
livered by Mr.. Nltgold lf t t..rptiOn clv-
en- for him AT the fremont lioueo last sat
urday night lilo asserted that the in-
creased Republican vote In several of the
largest Northern States was greatly in
excess OF what the increase in popula-
fon Justified. and said the increase OF
2i3 900 votes I'm Illinois indicated an in
crease OF 1.2O0.00O In population OF the
State during the four years from nv 20
1896. which he said was clearly untrue.
Judge Carter. after quoting this state
ment. writes that while Mr. Altgcld docs
not particularly refer TO Chicago. mas
much as Jos 0oO OF tho Increased votes IN
the State came from Chicago. 81 IS fair 70
assume that he charged fraudulent voting
in tho city as well as tn other parts of
the state
CAREFUL EXAMINATION.
The Judge writes that he has rad a
careful examination made OF the returns
in the election commissioner office since
reading Mr. Altgeld's speech. and he COM
, parcs the votes Of 1892. 1874 and 1896 and
writes that the increase Of 1896 over 1891
is more easily accounted for than the I'm
crease OF 1894 over 1892 during both OF
which years the County Judge and two OF
the three election commissioners were
Democrats.
In 1896. he writes. there was ono Demo-
cratic. one Republican. and one populist
judge in 40 OF the s2l election precincts
and two Democratic Judges and ono Re
publican Judge in ESQ precincts. and one
Democratic and ono Republican clerk ln
each N the 92l precincts.
II there were any wholesale frauds
against the Democrats. Judge Carter
writes. they were In a position 10 prevent
H. and he asserts he never has heard any
specific charges OF fraud from any OF the
Democratic or Populist election commits
sioners. judges. or clerks.
Regarding the Judges letter eX-Gov.
Altgcld says II did most assurediy in-
cludo Chicago 600 my remarks. Tor I am
firmly persuaded that frauds Of the most
gigantic character were committed in This
city a. tho last election. Judge Carter s.
statements do not meet nv charges. and
neither he nor any other man can OK

increase in the vote and population Doc
