The man awaiting the approach of a

coils Of an octopus, have lost all hope offree-

the victim is yet reveling in that glorious
state of exhilaration which follows the first

the disease has progressed SO far that the
sufferer notices weakness of the hearts ac-

JACOB WORTH'S POSITION.

Said to BE Complete.

was the triumph OF the Republican cause in
nation. State and county. that he had no such
thing In his mind as the prospect of flght with
Senator Plat or the state organization and that
he was involved In no quarrel with Lieut.. Gov.
Woodruff for whom he had great admiration.
This gentleman also declared that Mr.. Worth
had thrown ex-Sherifr william J. Buttling over
board and had completely exricated himself
from his influence. He said.
-Buttling is politically dead and will never
be heard Of politically or otherwise 80 far IA
Jacob Worth Ia concerned. No man now un-
derstands better than Mr. Worth tho harm that
Buttling did him and the Republican party in
this county.
This announcement cannot fail TO strengthen
Mr. Worth in case he determines to become a
candidate for the nomination for Congress In
the Fifth district In earnest. as his supposed
friendship for Buttling was the chief obstacle
