Il learn that instead Of replying to
the proposal OF Mr.. Chamberlain to re-
fer the franchise controversy to a

ingness to grant a five-year simple
franchise retrospective and unclogged

ed to one-fourth Of the volksraad, thus
exceeding the fifth demand by Sir AL

into the present franchise law unneces-
sary.
Nothing will be demanded in return

will be made that the imperial govern
ment should grant something recipro-

CHARGES AGAINST OFFICIALS.

:, Sensational Petitions Filed In Union
| County Court.
Creston, Aug. 1S.-W. C. Lorimor, of
Alton. through his attorney, j. A. John
son. of Lenox. and L. A. Lee, of Alton,
attempted this morning to file cases
with the county clerk against County
Auditor j. L. Cherry. County Treas
Iurer C. T.. Bagg, Scott Skinner, Frank
dorf and N. w. Clarke, the five MEM
ing them with official misdemeanors.
County Clerk Joseph. acting on the
advice of County Attorney Bull, refused
to file the petitions. holding that no
bond accompanied and that the county
attorney had not been consulted. While
the petitions are in the clerks hands
he does not consider them legally filed,
hence not public property. and your
representative was denied perusal of
the documents.
The action is the outgrowth of a con-
troversy which has been going on for
lseveral months conducted from the east
end of the county relative to charges of
in the conduct of business
by the county officials mentioned. 1t is
said that some of the allegations are
strong, and that the petition would be
interesting reading, if nothing more. is
generally admitted
The petition against Treasurer Bagg
lis said to accuse him of no serious Of
fense. 1t is claimed that In certain
cases he remitted penalties which he
should not have done, and that in other
cases he could have collected penalties
which he failed to do.
The charge is made against County
Auditor Cherry that he is short s1,500 in
his accounts. This is a serious asser-
tion,but Mr.. Cherry does not seem to be
worried as to the outcome of the case.
Scott Skinner, who last year was
chairman of the board of supervisors.
lis accused Of defrauding the county out
Iof money by connivance with one Frank
James, the bridge builder, in that the
county was charged more for material
than it was worth.
The other members of the board are
accused of irregular proceedings in the
business conduct of their offices. Mayor
Skinner was not disturbed when in
formed of the charges made.

Chicago, Aug. 18.-While former gov
ernor John p Altgeld is pleased with
the action of the Iowa convention he
does not express so much satisfaction
at the way the anti-Goebel democrats
nominated their ticket, which they
would have known as the regular
democratic to beat the Goebel faction"
Some time ago Altgeld expressed the
opinion that two tickets in Kentucky
would be the only salvation for the
legislative candidates. He said then
that two sets of candidates would help
elect his friend ex-senator Blackburn
to the United States senate. When the
radical silver men in their convention
at Lexington Wednesday, failed to men
tion Blackburn's name 1t is easy to see
why the ex-governor is not rejoicing
over the outcome. When asked If the
Ianti-Goebel ticket met with his ap-
prevail, Mr.. Altgeld said that he under
stood the men on the ticket were good
men; that he understood they had big
convention. But further than that he
would not discuss the Kentucky situa-
tion
over in Iowa they mounted the sill
Yer horse and are up in good shape"
said Mr.. Altgeld. II am we'll pleased
with the outcome of the convention
and 1 feel that the prospects are bright
for success in that state. 1t will be safe
for silver. They re-affirmed the Chicago
platform in whole and in detail and
Showed they are loyal to party prin-

Former Senator Isaac Miller Hamil-

he will meet Charles G. Dawes, comp

friends of Mr.. Calhoun will go over the

himself a candidate for the nomination.
