Judge Altgeld Seen as Likely Illinois Governor Candidate
The Democratic standard bearer in Illinois politics is Judge John F. Altgeld of Chicago. He rose from poverty to wealth, served in the Union Army, and moved to Chicago in 1875. Opposed by supporters of “Private Joe” Fifer, Altgeld is viewed as a self made figure capable of overcoming obstacles. The piece cites contemporaneous editorials and political commentary from the Columbus Post and St. Paul Pioneer-Press about the 1890s gubernatorial race and national figures.
