STATE ASYLUMS
ARE WROUGHT UP
RepOrts of Wholesale Beheadings
and Influx OF Strangers
NOT MANY REMOVALS
ARE TO BE MADE-GOVERNoR TO
MAKE BUT FEW CHANGES
IN PLACES COVERED BY
CIVIL SERVICE.


Political organizations in localities
where state charitable institutions are
located have been greatly wrought up
the last few days by the disappear
ance of old heads and the appearance
of new ones about the premises, says
the Springfield News Of yesterday. The
report has been current that the gov
eminent has insisted on placing a
number Of Chicago men IN The Facan
cies which have been created. From
Jacksonville and Kankakee comes the
same report Naturally this has arous
"a The local political organization and
there has been q scufryng 70 make
objections. II is reported from Jack
sonyille that practically all the clerical
positions in the state institutions there
viii be filed from Cook county, there
by displacing a large number Of Nor
gan county republicans A number
of designations among the clerical
forces Of the various institutions have
been asked for by the governor. it is
learned, but the story that the yacan
cies are to be filled entirely from Chi.
cago lacks confirmation
Mr. c. Il. Vandergrift of this county
who has been chief clerk at the Kan
kakee hospital. has ben asked for his
res .gnation and it is understood that
the place is not to be filled from this
county. Mr. Vandegrift has been one
of the cogs in the local Yates-Wheeler
Juneman organization and his retire
ment Is variously viewed by Sangamon
republicans
While there is considerable excite
ment among paliticiane and especially
at the institutions affected, there is no
evidence of great upheayal among
the employees who come under the pro
visions of the civil service. There are
some 2,l00 or 2,200 of these. From
the best information obtainable, it Is
understood thar the vacancies created
BY removal of incumbents will not
aggregate more than 200 or 300 il that
many In some of the institutions adj
uitional help Is to be put on under the
terms Of the last general assembly so
that the governor win probably name
300 or 400 This appears to be a CON

be made before midnight tonight, At
