James P. Grove denounces the Peoria Democratic State Convention for indorsing Governor Altgeld and his record amid reports of coal mine strikes, mob violence, and pardons. He attacks calls for military aid against strikers, cites murders in Illinois towns, and accuses Altgeld of tolerating anarchy while contrasting gold rent practices.
Chairman Manley of the state central committee announced a sweeping win in Maine. The message states Republicans carried every county, won the governor’s race by the largest majority, and secured a strong delegation to Congress while McKinley and Hobart were indorsed by 50 000.
G Wilfred Pearce, writing from Boston, accuses Gov. Altgeld of turning Illinois into a prison-made goods producer. He cites convicts earning 28 cents a day and claims hundreds of firms and over 100,000 workers have suffered from competition with prison-made furniture cigars and leather goods. Pearce questions authority and accuses Altgeld of shipping patterns and instructors to spread populism.
The Philadelphia Record says parity is kept by accepting silver dollars for public dues and taxes paid largely with silver certificates.
