The Controversy Attracting Gen­ eral Attention . Support of th© Original Charges from Another Democratic Author­ ity--Xhe Governor's Weak Defease. The controversy between Mr. Form&n and Gov. Altgeld continues to attract a large share of public attention in Illi­ nois, and interest, in it has extended,be­ yond the borders of the state. Mr. For- man's charges against the governor were, so explicit and damaging that the .state executive was compelled by public sentiment to make answer. ~ It is to be remembered that this is not a partisan fight On Gov. Altgeld. . Republicans had nothing to do with originating . the charges. The governor was placed on the rack by a prominent democrat; who has since asserted his ability to prove more than he alleges. William S. Fpr- man, of St. Clair .county, a man whose word has never been disputed among democrats, accuses Gov. Altgeld of bor­ rowing money of the late treasurer, Ramsay, without interest at a time when the state was heavily involved. He also says that Altgeld owed Mr. Ramsay at the time of his death from $50,000 to $60,000 of state funds, and that it became necessary to secretly open the state vault and replace the evidence of private debt with money. To al3! said by Mr. Forman Gov. Alt­ geld entered a general denial, but was not specific in replying to questions asked as to his connection with the Ramsay matter; and he indulged in a castigation of Mr. Forman, using epi- thets and denunciation.

Sold by all local dealers. the governor was not accepted as a suffi­ cient answer to the charges. Prominent democra ts of Chicago and the state gen­ erally pronounced it equivocation and evasion. Judge William A. Vincent and/? others of equal prominence in demo­ cratic party councils in .Chicago were prompjfc to say the governor had failed to give a satisfactory answer to the Forman arraignment. G. Van Hoore- beke, of Carlyle, ex-United States at­ torney for the southern district of Illinois, under' President Cleveland, came to the support of Mr. Forman after F. P. Ramsay, who succeeded his fa­ ther as state treasurer, had declared in an interview that Forman's statements were false. Mr. Van Hoorebeke says he was reluctant to enter into the con­ troversy in any way, but the declara­ tions of Mr. "Ramsay compelled him to give the public a few facts. Mr. Van Hoorebelce is a stanch democrat, and his personal veracity is not assailed. He quotes at length from the testimony of E. P. Ramsay and Gov. Altgeld in the case of Witbeck et al. vs. the estate of R. N. Ramsay, and draws deductions from what they said under oath and compares them with their utterances at this time. Having given the court record as to what the witnesses said in respect +o moneys due the estate^, and the closing of the treasury vault, Mr. Van Hoorebeke adds: "E. P. Rarnsay was appointed to succeed his father, as the appointment shows. No vomber 14, 1894, and the bond bears rfate November 15, 1894, and was Signed and acknowledged at Chicago on the same day by E. P. Ramsay and by the same ten bondsmen who signed his father's bond, before F. M. Blount, notary: and the oath of office was taken by Ramsay on Novem­ ber 22, 1894, at Springfield, and filed In the office of the secretary of state on the same day. It will thus be seen that E. P. Ram­ say did not qualify until November 22. and had no right in the treasury until after such qualification. Yet he says in his in­ terview he was in there on the 14th with the governor, Blount and Moll. The governor swears that as soon as he learned of the death of Ramsay he locked and sealed the treasury 'right away.' "Ramsay died early on the morning of November 11. He was at Ramsay's funeral, w hich took place on Tuesday, the ISth of No­ vember. That he knew of Ramsay's death on Sunday there is no question, and he swears that he locked and sealed the treasury right away. It Is fair to presume that he did this no later than Monday morning. If this is true, how did Ramsay get into the treasury on the 14th to inves­ tigate its condition; except In violation of law; for to open it before the appointment and qualification of E. P. Ramsay was a violation of Section 16, R. S., and E. P. Ramsay did not qualify, as already shown, until November 22. "If the governor tells the truth in his tes­ timony, then Ramsay, In his Interview, does not, and if Ramsay is correct then the governor is not. There is no escape from this conclusion. That the treasury was opened before it should have been I think the evidence proves beyond a doubt not­ withstanding the governor's unequivocal assertion of his want of recollection, etc. It seems to me a matter of much Im­ portance, and especially in this case should be recollected." Gov. Altgeld is also getting criticised for extravagance in connection with the management of the hospital for the in­ sane at Kankakee. - The quarterly report of the state board of charities has been printed and shows that at the three leading insane institutions of Illinois the quarterly net per capita cost is as follows: At Anna, $25.78; at Elgin, $34.60; at Kan­ kakee, $3S.45. This shows that Dr. Gapen, at Kankakee, requires to keep one patient for three months S12.67 more than is required at Anna and $3.85 more than at Elgin. A citizen of Kankakee occupies a column and a half In a local silver paper, in which he charges glaring extravagances and al­ ludes to the governor's superintendent as "a_ stool-pigeon to raise campaign funds." The same paper .editorially roasts the management to a turn. There is now circulating a petition to have Dr. Gapen removed. Mr. Forman Also, This Week, Comes Back wi th the Fo l l owing Rep ly t o GOT . Altgeld's Letter: - East St. Louis, 111., Sept. 2.--Ex-Con- gressman W. S. Forman to-day issued his rejoinder to the recent reply to a former open letter to Gov. John P. Alt­ geld as follows j Efist St. Louis, 111., Aug. 31.--Hon. John P. Altgeld, Governor of the State of Illinois, Springfield, 111.--Dear Sir: I hav^ noticed In the papers what has been styled a reply to my open Jetter which I mailed to you a few days ago. When I wrote you I felt that I was con­ fining myself to a discussion of your con­ duct as governor of the state of Illinois and desired to' say no.thing about your personal character, except In BO far as It might Involve your official acts. In this so-called reply you ask me the Question why I wrote that letter and why I wrote it at this time. I answer that you and yoxir friends had claimed for ybu the highest personal honesty, as well as a high standard of ability in managing the°state institutions. That was to be your strong1 reason for reelection. I wished to show what a fraud and hollow sham you are. The public had a right to expect a reply explaining every charge which I made, but instead of that we are met with personal abuse, mean insinuations as to me persbn- • ally, and hypocritical cant as to my hav­ ing said something about, two. dead men. There is nothing In your letter worthy of my notice; yet, for the purpose of ex­ plaining some tilings you have said, I shall write you a'few lines. The only thing of importance is your assertion that I am actuated' with rnalici°us motives and you give two facts In corroboration. That in -a"*'private interview you told me that you bad no confidence in me. 2. That I asked you for an Office, and. smart- lng under your refusal, I wrote the letter recently published. '• The conversation to which you alludte,'in which you claimed-to have made the awful announcement to me that yotr had, no con­ fidence in me politically, occurred in Jan­ uary, 1S95. -I- had» been spoken of as chair­ man of the. state central committee several weeks prior to that time. Other candidates withdrew and declared themselves for me. I repeatedly stated to friends that I would not accept this position if there was the least opposition to me; that the elections of 1894 had made it exceedingly • difficult to reorganize the democratic party. X heard through a friend that you were op- Xtosfng me. I at once telegraphed him that I would not allow the use of my nam® further. When I came to Springfield to attend the meeting of the committee I did go to 3rour office and tell you that I was not surprised at your opposition; that you had gotten your information as to south­ ern Illinois largely from R. N. Ram­ say and James D. Baker. These were th© only names mentioned. I said to you that Ramsay was dead and I did not care to discuss our political relations, but that you were now better acquainted with Mr. Baker than when you appointed him warden of the southern Illinois peniten­ tiary. and that you would know»him better still before you were through with him. You psneoinllv professed thnt ynu Y,art personal feeling against me, and had every confidence in my ability as a politician. In fact, you were very much more inclined to flatter me than you ever had been before. You said that the only reason you had ob­ jected td mp was that some of your friends who were not friendly with me felt that the power ofvthe chairmanship placed in my hands might be used to oppress them; that you preferred Hinrichsen. I told you that your explanation of it was satisfac­ tory, and that I would be for Hinrichsen: and do what I could to have him elected unanimously. You followed me to the door, professing friendship, and assured- me that I must feel at liberty to call upon- you whenever I wanted anything. I went direct to Ilinrichsen's office, told him part­ ly what had occurred, and that I was for him. He then asked me to see certain gen­ tlemen who were opposing him, and asked me to nominate him at the meeting of the committee. I met the gentlemen he named and that evening, or the next evening, the committee met. I nominated Mr. Hinrich­ sen and he was elected chairman without opposition. Now, would I have carried out this Pro­ gramme had I not been thoroughly satis­ fied with your explanation? Since then I have asked you for but two favors- one, the appointment of a friend to office, and the other the pardon of a man con­ victed of murder. Both were readily, granted. Now, as to my wanting an office under you, I knew that Mr. Fithian was to be ap­ pointed a member of the board of railway and warehouse commissioners. I knew that this vfould preclude my appointment had I desired the place. Fithian was my friend, and I had repeatedly talked to him about this. You had nothing else that I could afford to take. Mr. J. M. Browning, of Duquoin, was a member of your state board of mine examiners. He was more your friend than mine, and in his anxiety to strengthen your administration he sug­ gested my appointment, and your state­ ment warrants that conclusion. I never authorized Mr. Browning or any other person to apply to you for a position. I knew nothing about his conversation with you for months after, and you are exceed­ ingly guarded in saying that he did not say that I sent him. You allude to my course in East St. Louis, and in your reply you ask me to come out Into the sunlight. I want to say to you that I was for ten years a candidate for office in the counties composing this* one of the hardest fought districts in the state of Illinois, from '84 to '94, and was un­ der the sunlight and searchlight of publlo opinion, and I need no introduction from you to the people of this locality. I shall be able to take care of myself politically. You say that I was afraid to risk an at­ tempt at reelection to congress. To be frank with you, I did say to many of my' friends, as early as January, 1894, that 1 did not Care to remain longer in congress, and that I thought I detected a political storm. That two years of Altgeldlsni In the state of Illinois had made It Impossible for anybody to be elected. In this I waa not mistaken. In this district, it having been changed to give it 3,000 democratic ma-J Jority, a very excellent gentleman wag nominated upon the democratic ticket, and! was defeated by t,800. So that my predic­ tion proved true, as only one member of congress was elected by the democracy of the state of Illinois. I mention this without a desire to reflect upon any gentle­ men, for our candidates were among thd best men in the state. Now, I shall not attempt to discuss state questions with you in this letter. You) are running away from the issue, and I doi not intend to let you do so. I charged you with being a heavy bor­ rower of state funds. That Hinrichsen and Durfee assisted yoU in taking up your due bills. That between the times of the death oi! the treasurer, November 11, and the quali­ fication of his successor, November 22, you permitted or caused to be opened the vaultsi of the state treasury contrary to law. That ydu appointed E. P. Ramsay, sonofj the late treasurer, after you knew that his father was a defaulter, for the purpose o? . covering up damaging facts. That you attempted to borrow the funds of the Illinois Asylum for Feeble-Mindedj Children at Lincoln; that on the refusal of your request you removed the superin­ tendent of thdt Institution. That you attempted to bori-ow funds oj the Insane hospital at Anna, and whenyoui were refused this loan by the treasurer^ that you asked for his resignation and ordered the funds deposited to be returne to the state treasury. That you have borrowed hundreds oi thousands of dollars and paid interest! thereon at six and seven per cent., contrarM to law. ~ That you have permitted large sums o) money appropriated for the maintenance o: state institutions to be withdrawn from th" treasury before it was needed, to be de-f posited in your pet banks. That your shallow pretense to honesty tat legislative affairs Is a colossal delusion J and cited circumstances to prove it; . i -.Your reply is that the newspapers havai been full of this; that I am howling.oveafl dead men's graves; that I was afraid ta risk my reelection; that I led a bolt in East} St. Louis; that my friends call me "Foxyj Bill;" that you told ine you oouldnt trustf , me. „ ^ • I want to remind you that you cannot this manner of pleading deceive the publi The issue was squarely presented to yoi and vou refused It, and I shall wait-Withf confidence the verdict of the people of the; etate of Illinois to be rendered in Novem* ber, and jwedlet tour overwhelming: defeat.
