with her parents at an apartment house at

promising her mother that for a weak
she would make no attempt to communi-
cate with Wilkinson. The week was up
yesterday when she read in a Philadelphia
paper that Wilkinson was at thc Imperial
Hotel, this city. Half an hour later she
was On a trolley car bound fer PhnadeI-
phia. Eleven o'clock yesterday morning

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-Ex-Gov. John r.
Altgeid wants the Democratic National
Committee 10 organize a vigilance COM
mittee TO watch the count of ballots next
November He declares that The Republic
ans are depending on fraud and crime at
the polls 10 carry the election and for the
purpose have raised 5000. 600 from the
trusts. Democratic managers say they will
keep better watch this year than they
did in 1896.
Mr.. Altgeld made in part the following
statement: In 1892 Cleveland carried
Kentucky by about $4,000 majority. In
1886 M Bryan got about $4,000 more
votes than had been cast for Cleveland, so
he evidently carried the State by about
$4,000 votes, yet it was counted for Nc
Kinley. This was accomplished by means
of false returns and wholesale frauds COM
mitted in Louisville and in mountain dis
tricts which were Republican.
Careful examination of the returns
from Ohio in 1856 showed there were from
$4,000 10 10000 fraudulent votes counted.
In Indiana there were between so GOO and
10000 n.ore votes returned than were leg
any cast III I4IlLOls every InSIlQ1
fraud was practiced that was known 10
man.
In Chicago. a careful comparison of the
vote returned in 1886 with the votes of
prior years, shows that il the neighbor-
hood Of 72000 more votes were returned
than were honestly cast at that election
ana for the entire State upward. of 100,G GOO
fraudulent votes were returned. / do rot
believe the Republicans can practice
frauds this year on such wholesale D an
as they did il 1896.
We feel that these crimes can be pre-
vented. I believe that if our people will
form vigilance committees in every pre-
cinct of this country make careful list
OF all legal voters and then take posi-
tion inside the booths when the counting is
in progress and see that there is no false
count made and that the votes cast for the
Democratie~Hicket are not counted for the
Republican candidates and that there is
an honest return. then we will sweep the
country from one end TO the other and the
Republicans will rot be able to carry eight
States in the Union"
