Frank Grover. Charles O. Neely. and others equally well known are not supporting and are not voting for Mr. Prabody, but are cordially supporting and are voting for Mr.

Pease. What is the significance of the following statement which is taken from the Evans-ton Index of Saturday What is the difference! Mr. Psiee the Republican candidate for sheriff, has been accused of being a politician, but be has never bmi charged with baring attempted to bribe an alderman. If Mr. Pes body la not a politician.

It Is not the fault of some one besides Stuylre. for he has done all that be could to become on 9 for tbe past three years. Mr. Peabodr is indorsed and supported by the Champ on and by Fair Plan (which Is' tbe successor of Mured Orinkt). two Chicago publications issued in the interest of the liqnor traffic.

Mr. Pea body is the special candidate of John P. Hopkins. Tbe mavor wants to control the entire machinerv for the capture and- prosecu tion of law-breaker in Cook County and also the entire election machinery. He owns the city police and the detectives.

He controls tbe Conutv Judge, so far as to keen Scales from opening the ballots cast at the mayoralty election last December. He wants Roger Sullivan elected to the county clerkship becanse that will control the election machinery still farther, and also control the county finances through the county comptroller, whom the county clerk now appoints. And if there Is anvihing else that John P. Hopkins does not want the people of Chicago and Cook County have yet to hear of it. ANOTHER CONTEMPTIBLE LIE.

One of Hopkins' Henchmen Is Arain Showing His Abilities. John M. Maguire, one of Mayor John P. Hopkins' henchman, and street foreman in the Thirty-Fourth Ward, has been doing some vigorous swearing. Yesterday he appended his name to an affidavit, published in the Timet, in which he swore that he knew of his own knowledge, that "Jsmes Pease, Republican candidate for sheriff, never contributed either funds or flour toward the Pullman sufferers." Today Mr.

Maguire. on Mayor Hopkins' stuffed pav roll, will supplement the foregoing affidavit regarding James Pease by one in which be will swear that H. Kocliersperger, Republican candidate for county treasurer, neve contributed either funds or flour toward the Pullman sufferers." Mr. Maguire. Mayor Hopkins' "affidavit man," swears in the Pease affidavit that he knows James Peas "never contributea either flour or funds toward tbe Pullman sufferers." because he, Mamire, "was chairman of tbe Pullman relief committee during the recent strike at Pullman." Now in his affidavit regarding James Pease's contribution of 10.000 pounds of flour to the Pullman sufferers.

Maguire has several times lied. In his Kochersperper affidavit, which will be forthcoming today. Maguire will lie several times more. Or as Joseph Doyle, Democrat, and one of the directors of the Pullman relief committee puts it: "He committed perjury when he said James Pease did not contribute 10.000 pounds of floor to the Pullman sufferers. Mr.

Doyle's opinion of Maguire is confirmed by tbe following affidavits: State of Illinois. County of Cook, L. P. Watson, beiwr first duly sworn under oath, deposes and says that be was chairman of tbe board ot directors who had control of the relief store at tbe time of tbe Pullman strike: that as such chairman reports were made to him every Jay of donations made to tbe Pullman sinkers. And ibis affiant knows of his own knowledge that James Pease contributed to the said relief store of tbe Pullman strikers lO.nnu pounds of flour: affiant further states that Daniel H.

Kocherspeiver also contributed 10.000 pounds of flour and $50 cash to said relief store. Affiant further states thai over tlO.000 cash of said relief fond was paid to tbe Se cord-Hopkins Company, of which John P. Hopkins was a member, out of moneys collected for said relief und Affiant further states that John M. Maguire was never chairman of said relief committee, but at tbe time said contributions were made said Maguire was a stre et foreman of tbe city of Chicago. I P.

SOW LET THIS STOP! Pretty Small Business far Committeeman Hogan and His Friends.

Faskin's Hall, at No. 3012 Archer avenue, was crowded full yesterday afternoon with voters of the Sixth Ward. August Dobler presided. Among those who made speeches were David Shanahan. candidate for the Legislature in the Ninth District, D.

H. Kocher-sperger, James Pease, Alexander Sullivan. Peter Craigmile, candidate for State Senator; H. R. Belknap, Philip Knopf, A.

O. Cooper, and others. Another large meeting was held in Columbia Hall, corner of Halsted and Thirty-Seventh streets. Mr. was in the chair.

Speeches were made by D. H. Korchersperger. James Pease, Alexander Sullivan, M. B.

Madden, E. J. Magerstadt, Philip Knopf, Peter Craig-mlle, and several others. The chairman, Mr. MeCambridge, acting under instructions from County Committee- flotran refused to allow David Shana han to speak, although Mr.

Shanahan is the regular Republican candidate for the Legislature in bis district. This is merely becanse the Hogan people, were not for Mr. Shanaban's nomination, and have never forrriven him for being nominated and then for being officially recognized by tbe VVUUIJ cvuiUlltlCV a USA UG Otw wimiu a wtu and by the State Board of Review. Sneh conduct as refusing to allow a regular Republican nominee to speak at a Republican meeting which is naid for out of the Republican campaign funds is contemptible and should make every reputable Republican in the district see to it that Mr. Sbanahan's name la on his ticket and marked with three votes to morrow.

The county central committee certainly cannot be a ware of this kind of treatment of rerular Republican nominees who are reputable men, or else it would ot allow Committeeman Hogan and his friends to do this kind of thing. AH OCTRAGEOCg CASE. Tm Cttv Han Than Intimidate IL- H. rtaaor. of the Third Ward.

Tbe Democrats of too Third Ward are yetting desperate, and in their effort to overthrow the Igepoblicaji majorjty are re-aortinr to thug methods of the worst order-At o'clock yesterday morning Mr. H. H. Fisher, Republican Judge of e.eetion In the Third Precinct of the Third Ward, living at No. 2719 Calumet avenue, was rudely awakened from his rest by Jerry Riley and two or throe "pals." Mr.

Fisher went to front window of bis residence, and asked Riley and his gang what they wanted. Kiley informed him that he had a warrant lor nis arrest. Mr. Fisher told them that he would not come on of his house at that hour, as he believed it was nothing but an attempt to get him in the station and detain him there. as no bail could be secured at tbat hour.

Riley and his gang left the house, but re turned in a few minutes with a gang of about twenty-fire State street toughs and Democratic ward heelers. They pounded on the front and rear doors or Mr. Flsner residence and awakened everybody in the neighborhood by their noise. The language used was profane and vulgar in the extreme and their actions were shameful. During the excitement one of tbe gang called a patrol wagon, bnt when it arrived the person who called It could not be found.

Tbe officers refused to arrest Mr. Fisher, and the patrol wagon returned to the station. No warrant was shown Mr. Fisher. Yesterday afternoon Mr.

Fisher was served with a warrant to answer in a charge of assault and battery preferred by Jerry Rilev. This is the outcome of a eon-test which occurred at the registration polls of the Third Precinct in the Third Ward Oct 23, in which this fellow Jerry Riley and Frank Solon. two Democratic toughs and city-hall employes, assaulted Judge of Elections H. H. Fisher and Republican Challenger H.

T. Givin. Mr. Fisher had Riley and Solon arrested at the time, and tbeir cases were continued by Justice Underwood until Nov. bonds in each case being fixed at FJ0U.

The outrageous course of Riley is nothing but a weak attempt to intimidate Mr. Fisher and other Republican election officials of the Third Ward, but it will not succeed. Mr. Fisher will push the case against Riley and Solon to the end. NOON A IX WAS BLACKBALLED.

CRHAi.li. Ill, Nov. 4. To th Editor. -I read with ureal pleasure your manly editorial in today's issue on Mr.

William Lorimer. Republican candidate in tbe Second Congressional District. You do yourself honor in correcting the differences of the past. "To err is human, to correct is divine Men may differ in policies and still be pood citizens: but today, when free trade attacks the happiness ot our homes, attacks the welfare of our Nation, attacks our Industries, tbe corner stone of the Republic, hence the perpetuity of our government, the Republican that seeks to break the unified ranks of the party, particularly tbe candidates for Congress, is assuming a responsibility tbat is far beyond the intelligence of oue man to Justify. I have known Mr.

Lorimer for many years. He is a more than an average good citizen. He is good natured and philanthropic to a fault, considering bis own welfare. He is a self-made man and rose from the ranks of labor. He is a stanch Republican, yet believes in having every man judee for himself on politics and if he was more selfish and less active In the interest of the principles of our party be would be surrounded with vastly more of the '-root of all evlL" Today it he errry anarchist the muttlrf is vorktfj for free tradr at the most point instrument todrttrou our Seyib.ic: tr ttery rrbel ot the foulh 11 vorking for Jrrt trade, uith the hop' of getxng irrttuje throuqhit; irhen ereru one of oar commercial entmi it seeking to destroy our home market through frre trade.

I believe that every patriotic citizen, regardless of partisan lines, should be found shoulder to shoulder as Democrats and Republicans were thirty years ago. ftzhtmg for liberty and union. So we should now fight for the results of iioerty and union, namely, happiness, particularly for the candidates for Congress. I wish I could reach every personal friend of mine who lives in Mr. irimer district.

I would deem it an honor to ask them, regardless of politics, to vote for blm on next Tuesday. I would willingly place myself under personal obligation to return a like favor to them on some other occasion. He will make a good people Cong ressman. When I say bis reputation stands best wish those who know blm best I say all that is necessary, and the voters of bis district can be fully assured that when they knock at Congressman Loruner's door they will be kindly received by a good man, a good neighbor, and a genial, whole-souled citizen. Mr.

Lorimer knows nothing about my writing this letter. Again I request, vote for him: Jobs Scajilar. River Forest Club. The following were adopted Saturday evening at the meeting of the River Forest Republican Club o' Proviso: Whereat. Mr.

Lorimer has been nominated by tbe Republican party for Representative In Congress Ib the Second Congressional District at tbe ensuing election. Tuesday. Nov. 6: therefore, Kstotred, Tbat the River Forest Republican Club of Proviso, believing tbat it is of tbe utmost importance tbat every man on tbe Republican ticket should this fall receive the fall Indorsement of bis party, and that as a club we urge every man holding the convictions of the Republican party to vote for every candidate named upon tbat ticket. Resolved.

Tbat we believe the principles of the Republican party, protection and prosperity, are the issue in this canvass, and that every loyal Republican should vote tor every nominee ot that party. FRENCH REPUBLICANS. Great Gathering Yesterday Afternoon at Taylor and Miller Streets. An enthusiastic meeting was held yesterday afternoon at Temperance Hall, corner Taylor and Miller streets, under the auspices of the French Republican Club. About 350 voters listened to a splendid speech from Hon.

George R. Letonrneau, State Senator from Kankakee, in euolgy of the Republican party, and to an arraignment of the Democratic party by the great French orator, Elie Vrzina, and great expounder of Republican doctrines. They were followed by Candidates A. O. Cooper, D.

H. Kochersperger. James Pease, John N. Cunning. Charles Woodman, W.

F. McCarty. and John Meyer. L. Compondu and Theodore Saindon followed In French.

Mr. J. L. Lavoy, president of the clnb and chairman of the meeting, ended by a call for a unanimous rote for the entire Republican ticket, and it was there and then decreed that 90 per cent of tbe entire Freneh vote, which amounts to about 25,000 in the State of Illinois, would be cast In favor of the Republican party. SWEDISH-AMERICA REPUBLICANS.

Their Central Clnb Cordially Supports All Our Candidates. At a meeting of the Swedish American Central Republican Club held yesterday, representing nineteen clubs In Cook County, there was some indignation and much laughter over the action of the Pop-ulisttc editor, F. A. Undstrand, of the Swtasrk America, In sending out an extra Issneof his paper denouncing some of tbe candidates on the Republican ticket It was resolved to send the following letter to Tn fcrraa Oca Chicago. I1L.

Nor. re fW tditor. Would you kindly permit na to put In a plea for the Intelligence of the Swedish-American votem of Cook County? oat on the eve of taa election a eertaia Swedish-A mertcaa paper has seen to send out to said votsrs a special tasne containing ad vice as to how ike vote should be east next Tuesday. The paper in question has a perfect right to send out as many extra copies as it pleases, and the Swedish-Americas voters hafw aa equal right to judge as they please as regards tbe motives and propriety of the action of said paper the intentloa being to out out eertaia candidates who have incurred the disfavor of tbe editor. We are fully convinced tbat the Swedish-American voters to a man had made np their minds how to vote when a few days ago they registered, and we are aa lis tied that the treacherous action on tbe part of the editor in question will have no effect whatsoever la changing tbe vote.

But what we deetre hereby espeetaHy to express is our disgust at the insult thus offered the Swedish-American voters by one man who has stultlned himself to the extent of actually thinking tbat bv a trick in the eleventh hour be eould rule tbe Swedish-American vote. If next Tuesday per cent of the Swedisa-Amerlcan vote in Cook County is east -for the straight Republican ticket it Is not tbe fault of a scheming editor, but it Is tbe natural outcome of the good Judgment of the voters themselves. A certain circular sent out from tbe same source for the purpose ef misleading Swedish-American voters la hereby equally condemned by our organization. We are organised to support clean politics and good government, and after having fully Investigated tbe character of the nominees on tbe Republican ticket, we heartily recommend to the Swedish-American voters and to all at them te vote tbe whole ticket straight ram lop to bottom. respectfully.

The Swedish-American Central Republican Club of Cook County. Chakum E. BABqciHT. President E. S.

JoHnsos, Secretary. A BARREL-HOUSE COLO NT. Sixty-Three Names Registered from Frank saloon. Tbat the-Democrats are leaving no stone unturned to capture the election is becoming more patent every hour, and the most barefaced attempts to stuff the register lists are being unearthed. A most effort of this kind was disclosed vesterdey by J.

T. Reynolds, a Republican in tbe Eighteenth Ward. He savs that be knows of a colony of illegal voters at No. 17 South Halsted street in the saloon of Frank Bros. These persons have rented two small rooms over the saloon, which is one of the barrel-house order, and have registered from the place no less than sixty-three names.

By actual count Mr. Reynolds says there are Just thirty-one men l.ving in the den, who are fed and given free drinks in the saloon all day to keep them together, and at night they sleep In tbe rooms above. It is suspected tbat it is tbe intention to vote these bummer lodgers twice or oftener each at tbe election, each man being furnished with two names for the occasion. It is likely that unless the Republicans use tbe utmost vigilance this colony will vote. No.

17 South Halsted street Is in the Ninth Precinct of the Eighteenth Ward. EIGHTEENTH WARD HEELERS. tood Material for the Civic Federation to Work On. For several elections past the respectable voters of the Eighteenth Ward have been obliged to put up with a disreputable gang of Democratic ward "heelers and election bribers, who go about almost openly on election day and buy up votes and hire re peaters to assist in stuffing tbe ballots for the Citv Hall crowd. Nearly all of these en have been "spotted." and the Repub licans have arranged to have them closely watched tomorrow.

Amone- those in the Democratic gang which works east of Green and Halsted street in the Eighteenth Ward, may be mentioned the following: Patsey King. Bryne Ward, Al Lemons, Mickev Con loo. Alex McKcndree, Brock O'Hara. "Bip Jack" Flaherty, Bob McCsrl. Bob Collins, John Hoey, "tine Leg Jack," Horace Banyon, P.

Hickey, Jack O'Neill, Tommv Ryan. Jiramie Murry. Four or five of these fellows are city employes. Among these men will be found good material for the Civic Federation, and it is not unlikely that some of them mav come to grief tomorrow in case they attempt any crooked work. TO WOMEN VOTERS.

Cast Voar Ballots Tuesday Between 10 A. M. aaf P. M. Republican women are earnestly advised, in voting tomorrow, to observe the following suggestions: The polls in CTiicago and Cicero'will open at 6 o'clock in tbe morning and al 4 o'clock in the afternoon.

Women can select their time for voting much better than men. Let women voters in tbe heavy Republican wards and precincts go to the polls at such hours as will be most convenient to the mass of the voters. The hours, therefore, during which they are advised to vote are 10 a. ni. and 3 p.

m. This will avoid the heovy vote of the morning and of the last two honrs of the afternoon Will women voters in wards like the Third, Fourth, Thirtieth, Thirty-First, Thirty-Second. Thirty-Third. Thirty-Fourth, Eleventh. Twelfth, Thirteenth, Twenty-Fifth, and Twenty-Sixth, and similar wards bear this in mind? It will in many instances facilitate the polling of the vote; it will be a suitable and convenient hour for the women, and it will aid judges and clerks of elections wherever there is a fairly heavy vote of either women or men or both.

SEWER AND CANAL REPEATING. Look Out for the Wentworth Avenue Sewer and Drainage Canal. Information from good authority has been received that the Democrats will attempt to perpetrate frauds in the Thirty-Fourth Ward through a lot of repeaters said to be secured from the forces employed on tbe Wentworth avenue sewer and the drainage canaL The contractors on the sewer. It Is alleged, agreed when tbe contract was let to permit tbe use of tbeir men for Democratic election purposes and to aid, it is charged, by hiring only men who are willing to become Democratic tools. No men, it Is alleged, can get a Job on the sewer nnktss they will work for the Democratic ticket.

It is also charged tbat tbe laborers have been registered In the Thirty-Fourth Ward, as well as In the wards In which they legally reside. The men are to be given a holiday tomorrow, according to advices received, and voted In different precincts of the Twenty-Ninth and Thirty-Fourth wards, as well as at their homes. Thirty-six of the men are said to be registered "from Madden'a boarding-house. One Hundred and Nineteenth and Dearborn streets, althongh only ten or fifteen-are reported as really living there. The force on the drainage canal, it is rumored, is depended upon by the City Hall crowd to actually save the Democratic ticket in the southern districts by repeating and illegal voting generally.

Police Officer Daniel Hanrahan, who is on duty at the canal, has been doing little else but working up votes for the City Hall. Hanrahan boasted the other day tbat he would march tbe entire force of men through the Second District and vote them and that, assisted by tbe gangs sent down by Tom Cary, Billy O'Brien, Sullivan, and Hanrahan. he wonld carry tbe district for the Democrats. Hanrahan, in his boasting, stated that he had been assigned to do the dirty work by Captain Williams and that be would carry out his orders on election day or die in the attempt. Republicans in the district, and especially' in the Twenty-Ninth and Thirty-Fourth wards, are warned to look out for fraudulent voters tomorrow.

The outlying precincts have been selected this time to perpetrate the most flagrant frauds, as the Democrats are becoming alarmed at public sentiment uptown and rely upon no -opposition la sparsely settled and remote precincts.

Candidate Tor fate Treasurer. Mrs. Lillian C. Brown, of No. 1363 West Lake street, has Bled an affidavit testifying; that a former, statement bearing her signature which appeared -in the Tims of.

yesterday upon the solicitation of General Mann is false. Mrs. Brown declares that in tbe statement she Is made to declare Henry Wulff borrowed $1,000 of her In February, 1OT7, in -order to secure his first nomination for county clerk. Mr. Wnlff was elected county elerk in November.

lWti, and took bis seat in December, 1886. Mrs. Brown totsiljr denies tbe truth of tbe charges in the above paper, and said last night tbat sbn signed it on tbe request of General Mann, without reading what it contained. Mrs. Brown declared that she signed tbe paper, being ignorant of political affairs, upon- tbe solicitation of one Henry Buger, a.

friend of hers, who introduced her to General Mann. Ruger, so Mrs. declares, represented that General Mann was a friend of hers, and that she signed the paper in order to assist the General upon Ruger's allegation tbat it would be a benefit She also said she had been promised pay for signing the affidavit, but that she did not know the name of Henry Wulff appeared in it, else she would not have signed it, as Mr. Wulff was an old friend and had materially aided her husband. She was highly indignant at tbe outrage that had been put upon her, espeoiallv as a lawyer bad notified Mr.

Wulff tbat 'he had the claim of Mrs. Beown placed in bis hands for collection. Mrs. Brown said Mr. Wulff had never borrowed any money from her, and that she did not know tbe lawyer in qnestion, had never seen him, and hid not authorized blm to use ber name.

GAMBLERS TO DO THEIR Dl'TV. This Is tbe Order Whlrh Has Gone Ont front Hendqaartera, It is known that orders have been issued from the. Democracy calling upon the' gamblers of the First Ward "to do their duty." Tbe meaning of this order is well known. it is the "smooth" people who heve done tbe repeating heretofore in "Hlnky Dink's" wsrd. Tbeir good clothes often pass them for respectable persons, and they are enabled without question to pass from polling place to polling place in the "Democratic precincts without being challenged.

Some of them have voted at previous elections at least thirty times in a day. The names that have been falsely registered are furnished them, and as the gamblers know their livelihood depends upon the will of John P. Honk ins they are making extraordinary exertions in his behalf. However, this plan is well known and the "fraternity" has been spotted. Any of them caught in the wrong precinct attempting to vote' will be summarily dealt with.

riFTY dollars for a ballot. Reward Offered and Can He Made Tomorrow. The Marquette Club has offered a reward of 150 for every official ballot that can be produced 'putside a polling booth or place, which has the name on it of any Judge of election. Here is a chance' for some one who anxious to run 'down crime and at the same time earn tW, to show how (be crooked scheme. of the repeaters are conducted.

Circulars are also out and distributed, signed by tbe Republican executive committee of the Twenty-Foorth Ward, offering a S100 reward for tbe arrest and conviction of certain persons named who are registered from tbe Seventeenth and Eighteenth precincts of the Twenty-Fourth Ward and from the Fifteenth.

Many believe it Impossible to entirely suppress attacks upon the saeredness of tbe ballot, but we submit that this is not the patriotic vtew to take of fhe situation.

We therefore call upon all" citizens, irrespective of party affiliations, to Join with us In an effort to secure an honest election, an honest count, and an honest return of the will of the people aa it may be expressed at the polls. The result of the work of the Lexow committee, a non-partisan body, in Xew York city should offer great encouragement to the people of our city, for it clearly demonstrates that where the law-respecting citizens of a community join In a determined effort to suppress various forms of lawlessness that effor) will prevail. The Influence of the Lexow committee has within a few months resulted In sending thirty-nine criminals to tbe penitentiary aad the good work is still going on. Chicago should not be behind her Eastern rival in matters of this nature, and the undersigned therefore pledge their earnest and most loyal efforts, both now and for the future, to defend our fair city from all attempts which may be made to 'corrupt the ballot box, aad to that end we stand ready to eo-operate with the Civic Federation or any other patriotic organization that will take up the work of purifying our elections and preserving to our people the sanctity ol tbe elective franchise. We furthermore call upon the good citizens of every election preciaet to at once organise aa old-fashioned ballot-box guard forth? protection of the polls on Nov.

next There should he no difficulty in securing volunteer In every corner of the city who will (five one day's time to this great cause. Let ev ry voter remember every candidate for whom he has vated so thst If inany precinct ba will bj prepared ti mtke affidavit to tbat effect and thus make prosecutions for violations of the law easy and effective. Let It bo known that wherever fraud is attempted prosecutions will spaedily follow and the offenders landed in tbe penitentiary. To this work we pledge our earnest and practical support and will give our aid to the Civic Federation and all othsr organizations and persons who favor tbe punishment of frauds upon the ballot box.
