A Card

W. Wadsworth editor of the PlqcegiUe A0aerican has
lately been endeavorng through the medium of his paper
to create the impression that the County Clerk and his
Deputy, altered the election returns connected with the
late County Seat election" Whenever he states any
thing of this kind directly by implication, he is an
infamous Har.
In the last issue of his paper, Wodsworth employs a
column, whining like puppy with "A sore car, about his
treatment by the Central Committe of the American party,
and saws that Talmadge Secretary and Treasurer of the
County Central Committee had the handling of the money
raised by the several Councils in the County for deayng
the expenses of the campaign"
To this reply that the several Councils" never raised
a dollar for The use of the Committee No funds were
employed in the campaign except arising from
ment upon the Candidates whose appeared the
ticket.
In relation to Wadsworths printing bill, the work
never ordered by the Commme, TO my knowledge The
nominating convention held its sessions with closed doors,
and Wadsworh was admitted to a seat on my motion.
The proceedings ordered published yet Wads-
worth printed a synopsis Of tlem little than
half column and rendered bill the Committee of So
for doing it, This together with other charges made for
prntn which the Aecs and 1rgus performed gratuitous
~, rejec ed by the Committee and provision made
for the payment of the balance.
The Hon. s. Y. Gag, requested my mail to pay his
assessment of $25 to the Amercan, printing account
His reply has been received. E. b. Carson, sheriff.
was requested 10 pay son to the Office which Mr.
Carson says he did but Wadsworh, with characteristic
reg g,rd for truth fails to acknowledge its receipt
Wadsworh says The Demt party in 1858 paid his
entire printing BILL and that for the service Tall
madge refuses TO pay dollar. This is lie. You printed
the regular ticket for the Democratic party in 1873 The
Ge0PgOpn Mems printed the regular ticket for the Amer
lean party last fall, while You printed splits in vain en-
deavor to defeat some of the candidates.
Wadsworth importuned each Of The candidates for s15
for inserting their three weeks and threat
ened to take down the ticket if they did not ray Other
American papers made charge of the kind This same
system prac'is ed by Wadsworh in 1873 and by
nobody else The mercenary dog requires to be paid for
his barking.
D. p. Talmadge does not now and never did, arrogate
any control of the American party whatever and does
fig whether the Aneiicun ever "hods up on County
Seat matters or not
The speculation of Wadsworh about the election of SUI
pervsors, simply ridcuous especially when they
were candidates. | did not know one Of them in either
party excepting John Kirk. The assertion that have
"bargan and copartnershp in the County Clerks Office
of this County, is unqualified lie. | have not and
had any interest directly or indirectly in that office
in any form whatever.
Too much space has already been devoted the ninny
hammer of the Americao, and calling him thf would
add nothing to his present notorety
