Altgeld Questions Republican Finance Claim on Inheritance Tax
Springfield July 1 Governor Altgeld rebutted GOP assertions of no deficit in state finances for the next two years. He argued inheritance tax revenue is uncertain since law takes effect July 1 and estates may not be resolved for two years. He noted Ohio’s similar ruling could challenge Illinois law. He also doubted clerical revenue from corporate fees, estimating far less than caucus projections, with 1,000 new firms unlikely to yield $100,000 and overall funds needing alternate sources.

Democrats of Colorado Expected to Pack Convention
Denver July 1 Indications are the Democratic state convention in Denver tomorrow will be lively. The drive for unity came from the Denver central committee led by ex Alderman James M Gilvray. Feeling the party is in a hopeless minority under Cleveland the callers urged open convention debate on administration policies. Stormy central committee sessions preceded the call and Frank Arbuckle opposed allowing rank and file expression. Delegates from across the state are expected with likely resolutions denouncing Cleveland and Carlisle sound money views, opposed by older members.
