REPLIES TO ALTGELD.
Judge Carter of Chicago Denies the EN-
Governors Allegations of Fraud.

Chicago. Jan. 29.-Judge q. y. Carter.
head of the Chicago election commission,
in an open address to cX-Govcrnor Alt
gid of Illinois. denies his sweeping
charges of fraud in the recent election.
and especially as regards Chicago. and
calls upon him to produce his proof.
The charges referred to were made by
Mr. Altgeld at n reception given to him
mt the Palmer House last week. He
stated that the increased vote given ut the
recent election was greatly in excess of
what the increase in population justified,
and said that the 100000 increased vote
meant an increase in population of 1,12O.-
600 in the state from 1892 to 1896. which
was totally untrue.
Judge Garter. in his address. says the
governor referred to Chicago particular
ly, inasmuch as 100000 of the increase
occurred in that city, and it is to be as
sumed that he charged fraud in that city.
as well as in other parts of the state.
The judge says he compared the votes
of 1892 and 1894. and of 1896. and that
the increase of 1896 over 1894 is more
easily accounted for than the increase
of 1894 over 1892. during both of which
years the county judge and two of three
election commissioners we're democrats.
In 1896 he says that in 400 of the cleo
ton precincts one judge of election was
n democrat and one was populist, and in
22j, two were democrats and one repub-
lican. If there were any frauds, Judge
Carter writes, they were in position to
prevent them, and he never heard any
specific charges of frauds from any of

the mother, was first taken violently i'll,
vomiting great deal after eating supper.
The next day the father and four chill
dren were taken sick with the same symp-

took of the fruit except one, who was not
taken i'll, which led to the belief that they
were poisoned from eating the fruit.
