One of the most decided stands OF the

augurate a system which would do
away with the department rottenness

This is the clause which has caused
the pronounced Ill telling. In 1T, the
republicans consider that Wade has is
sued a sweeping condemnation Of the
republicans in power which Is not JUS

init that there has been rottenness

are as many democrats mixed UP in the

elected by nearly 1900 votes. 1t Is con-
ceeded even by the democratic party
managers that over 1000 OF these votes
were given to Wade by republicans who
were personal friends of his. II Wade
should lose these votes, as 1t now seems
probable he will since this letter was
published, and the republicans would
.put up man who was well and favor
ably known in the district. Wade would
have a hard run for reelection.
