Checklist Of All.

Wade's checklist effort can now be re.
corded. He has written a letter to
County Superintendent Worst telling
him that he (WorsD was elected as non.
partisan, and that he must not interfere
in polltics-such "politics," of course,
meaning opposition to Wadc's scheme.
All of which shows that the Fool Killer
could secure II prize In Emmons County.
But the following is the bnlldozing let
ter--writtcn by Wade when he was over
here with his petitions
Williamsport Sept 4th 1883
j. H. Worst. Dear Sir. Strecter in.
formcs me that He is gong to send you
down to the south end of the county to
carry the Russian and Holland vote this
fall. l supposed you were out of polli.
TICS ut least have been elected to the
Office you now hold by the entire vote of
the county. Irrespective of all party lines
s. do not think you should meddic with
this matter this fall as the whole county
are friendly with you. s. as for my part
would like to sec them remain so. Ever
very truly yours. WADE.
This letter is very "wadish." 1t seems
incomprchensible to the great man who
wrote it that two citizens of county
should be on the same side of an issue
without one being boss and sending"
the other to do something or other What
the sheriff probably refers to is convcr~
sation we had with him over at his place
| the time he sent for us and wanted US 10
help out his scheme. Wade said he had
the Hollander settlers solid. We told him
that we didn't believe his influence down
there or anywhere else in the county
amounted to much. Why" said the ed
itor. II believe we've got q man over oul
way who has more influence by far N the
southern part of the county than you
have" "You mean Worst1' SAID the
sheriff. Yes" was the reply. This
made Wade hot. and he said. Worst
Worst couldn't hurt us any down there. u
Then, to soothe and quiet the great man
we said, "Yes; but Mr.. Worst coule
down you two to one for any Office IN the
county. You forget that every promi
nent candidate elected on the ticket two
years ago had bigger majority thar
you" All Of which is true. That's al
there is of the sending" matter. w,
believe Mr.. Worst has some influence ii
the Holland Settlement, because he ha
always treated his fellow. settlers there l,
la courteous, obliging and gentleman,
manner, and has never used the insultin,
language concerning them that Wade di,
on the streets of Williamsport on the da,
of the Democratic convention two year
ago. Besides, more than one gentleman
from the Settlement has told US that hi
people have a high regard for Mr.. Worst
That's all there Is to this matter.
