Some Pioneer Politics.

A story in the Oregonian of recent
date. written by Ex.Sherif Fisk. the
first sheriff Of Nez Perce county, suggests
"reminiscences of pioneer politics To some
Of the old-timers.
John Silcott says Fisk was appointed
sheriff by Governor Wallace. fIe was
afterwards a candidate for the Office, but
got left at the polls by good round ma.
jority. Wallace, however, declared him
elected because his opponent was rebel.
This brings to mind the fact that Gov.
ernor Wallece, who ran for congress,
came out 900 votes behind man by
the name of Kennedy, who was also
democrat. United States Marshal Payne
was then general manager of the affairs
of government and he acted as man ger
TO bring in the election returns. When
| Wallace found out his shortage Marshal
| Payne started to bring in the poll books
from the outly ing precincts. Idaho was
then supposed to extend to the Missis-
sippi river. Laramie was then supposed
to be precinct Of Idaho. Marshal Payne
started out with show Of authority and
a pretensc of earnestness to bring III this
vote. He crossed the Clearwater, climbed
the mountains to the Palouse country
and within few DAYS returned with a
safe 600 majority for Governor Wallace
for congress. This was duly counted
with solemn ceremony and Wallace wa
lduly declared elec'cd.
This vote was counted in the ldah,
