A Fraud" Charge smothered.

The colloquy between Senators Foraker
and Allen in the Senate yesterday in refer
ence to the presidential vote cast In Ohio
last year illustrates the ease with which
fraud is cried in the absence of proof
and how readily it is disproved by few
figures. Senator Allen has more than once
since the election pointed the finger Of
suspicion at the election returns of the
pivotal states of the middle west and he
has been answered more less directly,
but not SO effectively to scotch the
charge that he and others have made
against the purity of these elections. Sem
ator Foraker. however, brought such facts
and figures to bear upon the matter that
1t Is difficult to believe that any of the free
silver allies will hereafter seriously indict

dispelled by actual demonstration. The
people of the country evidently place little
credence in them. They are probably put
forth with small faith by their very pro-
genitors- They are more likely launched
