County School Commissioner
He has found a way to get himself before
the public by writing to one Badger, ol
Amboy, who publishes his letter in the
Amboy Journal, and then the Union re-
prints it with puff of Sturgeon. Stur
geon was for Hawley till Hawley got beat
en- here, and now he isfriendly to the othel
side because it is the winning side-here
He says to Badger:
II wish to ascertain what the feeling is
in your place concerning the nomination OF
Judge Lynde, of this city, for Congress,
for as Rock Islander l am deep interest
ed in his success.
The interest Sturgeon has in it is to get
the post office if Lynde shall go to Con-
gress. What will Haverstick say to that
Sturgeon wants the people of Lee to be-
lieve that there were no frauds or cheating
at the Republican primaries down here
still he says
While | have no doubt that some voted
who were not entitled to vote, L do not
think there was any unfairness about it
more than ordinarily and almost neccssa-
rly attends similar political meetings
Procuring Democrats, minors and un-
,naturalized citizens to vote in the primar-
les, Sturgeon probably thinks is common
custom with Republicans.
But the most innocent part of his letter
is at the close
II write this to you, Mr. Badger, of my
own motion, that if you have any inten-
ton of supporting Judge Lynde, or can do
So, etc andsoforth.
Isn't that rather "thin?" Maybe it is
true, though The post Office is worth a
little effort.
