HON. ID. l.. WADSWORTH.

Saturday morning, October 7, our citi-
zens entered their places of business all in
their usual good spirits and ready to per-
form the duties of the day, but by s o'clock
the town was shadowed with gloom by
the announcement of the death of Hon.
D. L, Wadsworth,
Friday he was around town and looking
after his business matters, He ate his
supper as usual but within half an hour
began to feel i'll and took to his bed. Dr.
Rust was called and at once informed the
family that the disease was return of
his old trouble and the end wac near, and
if they desired to send for any one it had
better be done at once. The patient raj
lied few times and told the doctor that
be did not think there was any danger, as
he had come out all right number of
times before when he was weaker than at
present, but added that if he had to go he
was ready.
AtO: 80 his son, L. H. Wadsworth, ar
rived from Greenwich, having driven the
distance of twentyseven miles in one hour
and fiftyfive minutes He conversed with
his father few minutes and then stepped
into another room. At that time the pa.
tient had a sinking spell and died at few
minutes after 10 o'clock.
The deceased was 81 years of age. He
was one of the landmarks of Wellington
and had large business interests, which
furnished employment TO a great many
men. Healways stood ready to donate 70
church, benevolent or public improve.
ments. He was always ready TO assist
when misfortune overlook any Of his iel.
low townsmen and was classed as the poor
mans friend. He will be greatly missed
from among our people and all sincerely
regret that we should have to part with
such q useful man.
The funeral took place Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock under the auspices o
the Knights Templars and Free and Ac
cepted Masons, of which he had been al
active member for many years. Rev. "

A NOTICE is given by the board of cleo
ton that hearing will be had October Is,
in Elyria, to decide whether Wellington
township shall be divided into two election
precincts. We do not think that 1t Is nee
essary tn make the division, for the reason
that the present voting room is at no time
during the day crowded. Then again, the
extra expense incurred would be an un-
necessary disbursement of money. We
can see no reason why it should be
changed, and We believe that II it was left
to the people of the township it would be
showed under by large majority.

Tuesday morning, October 4th, a big
business envelope about ten inches long
and very thick, as though charged with
important matters, was brought from the
postofiice and laid upon the desk Of the
editor of the Reflector The superscrip-
tion was, Editor Norwalk Reflector, Nor.
walk, Ohio"
When the editor found time TO examine
the mail 1t was nearly ten O'Clock, and he
proceeded TO open the formidable docu-
ment and examine the contents. There
was lot OF stuff headed editorial mat
ter" containing bitter attacks on johnson
and pufs for Horr, and even sneering
words for the Reflector.
Well, well, here was a go; some crank
evidently anxious to get ino print.
Then followed long screed sufficient
to fill column and half, type written
copy, evidently the work OF better enc
my Of Johnson's.
The idea that anybody should send such
stuff TO the Reflector We were about 10
pitch the whole mess Of lie into the waste
basket when our eye caught the line
"Dear Mr.. Loomis" and the signature &c
w. Horr."
Then, and not till then, did we realize
that the stuff was c. w. Horr's weekly
wad of editorials and orders for his organ
the Norwalk Chronicle. Sticking the
stuff back in the envelope we carried Il
over TO Postmaster Wolverton, showed

AN OPEN LETTER TO THE REFLECTOR.
WELLINGTON, o., Oct. 8, '92.
EditoriNOrwalk Reflector, Norwalk, o.
DEAR SIR-Your briet, but unsigned
letter, directed to me, which you published
in your issue of October 4th, deserves
passing notice,
First, / wish to state that you do me too
much honor when you call me Managing
Editor of the Norwalk Chronicle"
/ would be proud If were entitled to
be thus addressed; but such is not the
case. 1t has been my privilege and pleas
ure, during the past few weeks, 10 furnish
few articles for that excellent paper, at
the request of its editor, and / only regret
that my time and energies have been, and
will be, so taxed with business engage
ments that l have not been permitted, and
fear l shall not be able, to furnish anything
like the amountof matter for the Chroni.
Gle that would very much like to.
AS an explanation of the clerical error
of my stenographer in directing the letter
to the Reflector instead of to the Chroni-
Gle, / will state; She is an estimable lady
with the keenest moral perceptions, and
she has been so amused and entertained
by your crushing defeat in your effort IL
prove that the Hon. NJ. d. Harter entered
a saloon in your city that'her pittying pen
unconsciouSly wrote the word Reflector
instead OF Chronicle.
will not insult you by even intimating
that, after opening the letter and plainly
discovering, as you surely must have done
Immediately, that it was not addressed tc
you, nor intended for you in any manner
you would read the contents Of the envel
ope. But If you were unscrupulous and
unprincipled enough to do this, you simply
had the opportunity of reading some mat
ter, prepared by me for the Chronicle, al
MIR. L0omis request, that did not contain
a single line that was not strictly true, mol
one that could help you 10 either hope
comfort or happiness.
l have just learned from Mr.. Loomli
that he decidedly approved of the articles
and after receiving moderate revision they
would have appeared in this weeks Issue
Of the Chronicle had they moi been held
so long In your Office as to prevent HIN
from properly using them.
That the wise advice with which you
letter closes will be carefully observed by
my stenographer In future correspondence
you may rest assured.
/ Yours very truly,
w. HoRR

L. G. JOHNSON.

The Progress aud Probable Outcome of
his Campaign.
The brag and buster which have been
the chief features OF the canvass of Mr.,
Har:er in this district will no longer suf-
flee to deceive the voters. Continued at
tempts have been made to increase his
vote by the claim that hundreds Of repub.
licans are going to support him, and Mr..
Harter himself in buttonholing even re-
publican officials and those holding posi-.
tions under republican administration
to vote for him, has assured them that he
was sure of election. In his house &c
house canvass OF Morrow county Mr.. Har.
ter has told them of the great things that
would be done for him in the other coun,
ties Of the district. He has had friends
write personal letters to democrats in this
county who are known to be disafiected
soliciting their support, for it Is unqnes
tionably true that there is greater de
gree of disaffection toward Harter among
the democrats of this county than in any
other county Of the district, except Ash
land county, which gives the next largest
democratic plurality, where the friends oI
Judge II. L, McCray, now on the common
pleas bench, in this district, feel sore to-
ward Harter on account Of his opposition
to McCray. In this county the complaint
against Harter is that he never did any
political work, except for his own benefit
and that he was given preferment over az
able or ADLER men and those who had al
ways put their shoulder 10 the wheel
