Mr. Carter Harrison returned from Europe a few days ago, and wa-i weicom ed home by 30,000 Clncagonesc. A cotemporary gives a sample of the material of the makeup of this princeIv Democrat, as follows: “In the last Presidential election he off-ctu,-illy thwarted a well prepare i scheme of Republican ballot-box stuffing as follows: The number of voting pre cincts in Chicago had been increased in proportion to the rapid increase in the city's voting population, and the Republican dedge was to keep a full force of strikers, re eaters,Ballot-box stutters, and the usual tough /ontingeut around the polling places and thus prevent, thousands of Democratic citizens, by hustling them out of line and by intimidation, from being able to deposit their ballots within the, regulation time, from sunrise un til sunset. Mayor Harrison was duly notified, and immediately issue I a proclamation that every citizen would be accorded the divine right of stiff rage if It took all night, and ordered that the noils remain open so as *to give the woikingmen a chance who coulda’t be on hand during the dayl There was a great Republican how about overturning the governing;,t.
