UNITED IN THE COUNTY THAT GAVE THE CANDI-
DATE FOR CONTROLLER.

DATE FOR CONTROLLER
jamestown, oct. (speciab.-Ihe Republicans Of
Western NewYork not allowing the grass 10 grow
under their feet. They awake and alive 10 the
TACT that every Republican vote is poiled this TALL
Senator Fassett will be elected Governor by hand
some majority. Chautauqua County always has been
looked upon as OF strongest Miller counties in
the STATE and the feeling Of friendship for The ex-
Senator here is as strong as it is at his own home
But the Chautauqua Republicans have not been led
away by the CRY raised in the Democratic papers, and
nv the Democratic orators that the nomination Of
Senator Fassett, John W. Vrooman and the other Re
publican candidates dictated by ex-senator Platt
Their delegates 10 the state Convention returned home
and told them that the nomination of MIR, EasSett was
an inspiration, aud there is no section OF the state
outside Of Elnlils perhaps, where there Is more en-
thusiasm for the entire Republican ticket than right
here. Immediately after the nominations were made
ratification meetings held in various psrLs Of the
county, and they attended by an unusually
large and enthusiastic crowd of voters. Among those
who attended some Of the meetings were men who
have been lifelong Democrats. Many of them were
soldiers during the war. and they have concluded to
have nothing more TO do with party that says NO
soldier need apply" The headquarters Of the County
Committee are in this city, and they have been open
for several days Assemblyman f. E Woodbury. Is in
charge of them, and he is conducting the campaign
with great skill and ability. lie is young man, and
the young men of the county have taken hold with
him. and they are pushing things vigorously. This
IA the home of Arthur c. Wade, the Republican candi
date for Controller. Every man, woman and child In
jamestown knows him, and admres and eseems
him. Few have been compelled to cope
with rs many disadvantages he has. The
Democratic press asks Che farmers on the State to vote
for the Wall Street stock jobber simply because
small boy he ran around barefooted. Mr. Wade began
equally as low in the scale OF life as did Mr. Flower,
but the that he has achieved has been through
brains entirely. not by becoming The executor of a
rich estate. Until he was sixteen years old he was
q common day laborer at work in sawmill His pay
was small and his only recreation was reading BY
an accident in the mill he lost one of his arms and
of course could no longer continue at that employment
In one way the accident was for him fortunate one,
for changed the entire course OF his life. When he
had recovered he began the study Of law and now
he is one of the most successful lawyers "a western
Yew-York Few men stand higher among those who
know him than he does About him there Is not the
least ostentaton and his home Is delightful to
visit. The house In East FOurth-st where he
lives is a plain and ordinary affair Of the
kind commonly in small cities. jamestown Is
extremely proud Of her candidate for Controller and
he will receive here rousing big vote. All of the
young men, at least, will vote for Art" Wade. Mr..
woodbury. already has received promises from enough
young men to stump the county thoroughly between
now and election day The cd war horses, too, are
equally as enthusiastic They have caught the fire
of enthusiasm from the young men, and they work
Ing hard 10 keep pace with them.
