After the Battle Was Over.
Many sore spots have been left and
the cry of stuffed ballot boxes, Doodle.
tTedchery and the like was heard in
dozen districts. The turning down Of
Bishop Z. ". Wade was an act that
will rankle among his friends and
cause trouble There were immense
crowds at all the primaries and two
distinct tickets in almost every district.
One feature of the Wade-Kuchler
fight that causes deep Telling is the
charge of treschery made By Bishop
Wade's friends. The bishop is sick
and went away after making arrange
mepts by which he understood he
would have no opposition for delegate
His defeat under these circumstances
causes bitterness

felt that Wells is in much the better
position to gain strength.
