at the fremont.


Chicago. Jan. 23.-The public non-
partisan reception to be rendered this
evening at the fremont house to ex-
Governor John p. Altgeld, as a tribute

ship Of those participating towards the
man who, during his term as governor,
was made the target Of more denuncia-
ton and abuse than has probably ever

shown toward the ex-governor at the
recen Inauguration exercises, when he
was refused an opportunity Of reading
his farewell speech, has also given an
impetus to the affair. A large number
Of democratic. republican and populist
