Illinois Legislature seating plot likely to fail in Illinois
The Warren Mail reports the attempted substitution of a Democratic State Senator for a Republican elected official to seize the Illinois Legislature. The governor certifies for the Republican, while a federal grand jury labels the act as a bold, gross crime with over two hundred ballots abstracted and an equal number of spurious ballots. Indictments issued, names not public. Henry W. Leman certified as elected by Gov. Hamilton, creating a tied legislature awaiting potential Logan appointment to serve two years.
