ELIMINATION FROM A PASTOR.
Preacher WassOn Calls Upon Sena-
tOr-EIect Clark to Retire.

Great Falls, Mon. March 3.-The Rev.
| Edmund A. Wasson, Phi. D.. has sent an
open letter to Senator-elect W. a. Clark
calling upon him not to assume the Office
of United States Senator The letter. the
author says, is written as a citizen, not as
n minister In it he says:
THE grounds of my demand are your
general political character and the un-
lawfulness of the means by which the
legislature was induced to elect you
Being what you do not deny TO yourself
that you are, the letter goes on, lit must
strike even yourself as indecent and alb
surd that in a short time you are to as
sumo the title of Honorable. What honor
able thing have you done to entitle you to
this distinction?
Not content with parting with your own
political virtue. you have ruined the char
actors OF the poor creatures that you
tempted with your gold You have made
them false to their most solemn obliga-
tiOns to their conscience their friends,
their party. and their country.
Though the sentence of the law has not
been pronounced against you, you have
been adjudged and convicted in the mind
oil every honest man-yes, and rogue. too
in the State. You are to be made Senator
OF Montana because you have disgraced
and shamed her in the eyes of the country
and the world. Do you know that the
scourge of another panic would be less
grievous and the plague of smallpox less
disastrous than the political character and
career of our honorable Senator?
There were two classes of men who sup
ported you for Senator. They supported
you. as they put it, as the less of two
evils. Neither of these two classes was
strong enough to elect you by itself To-
gether they managed it. There were rrac-
tically none who thought that, on your own
merits, you deserved the honor II your
candidacy could have been brought before
the people you would have been asked
W tn substantial rnalimity to stay at home
The people did not wish you. The legisIa-
ture did not wish you.
Retire,
"At Washington you will simply be a
standing advertisement of our shame. The
only service that you can now perform for
us is to keep your unclean hands off. Re-
tire,'
The Rev Edmund 4. Wasson is rector
Of the Episcopal Church of Incarnation of
this city, having come hither six years ago
from parish on Long Island. He is a
graduate of Columbia University His con-
gregation is the wealthiest in Great Falls,
and includes William G. Conrad the
strongest opponent of Clark before the
legislature, as well as the strongest sup
porters of Clark in this community. Dr.
Wasson is a Democrat. His brother, the

Observant farmers state that the earth now
