er read, write nor spell; that the only
bout he had ever won was beer
drinking contest on bet of fifty cents,
and that If elected he woulu open
a speak-easy in the sheriffs Office and
would allow all who wished to pay
the toll to do the same elsewhere.
Caskey, however, by the support of
to keep smiling countenance, and
after a campaign in which he simply
moved around and exposed himself
to the scrutiny Of the voters, won the
election by majority of fifteen hun
dred votes.
AS extraneous bits of history of the
campaign, Smyser, the god OF the Re-
publicans in Wayne county, was de-
feated by Ashbrook, and little VIII
lie Patterson. Republican candidate
for prosecuting attorney, was forced
(the fact that he had to be forced
being greatly to his credit) 10 make
side issue compact with the Merkle and
Adair men that If elected he wouldn't
seltzer during his term.
The facts which make Caskey's final
victory and his previous efforts of in
terest, are those which deal with his
unbending honesty, his heroic persist
ence and the knowledge that his cleo
tion presaged the muzzling Of every
dangerous mal-content in the county
democracy.
| AS a matter of history, the entire
course of events should be preserved
in the county annals. That all will
forever remain serene upon this
bloody ground can not in the very ma
ture of things be predicted, but that
those who broke through the lines
to crafty their taste for revenge, are
now effectually bound and gagged for
spell, is accepted as token that
peace. at least for a period, is to have
an inning.

Wertz suddenly discovered that he
had mining interests in Wyoming and
went to that region, taking his in
fiuence, which would have perforce,
been for Caskey, entirely out of the
approaching campaign.
To mix matters up, as the cam
paign grew heated, ex-Probate Judge
r. L. Adair, and his brother, John s.
Adair, a once powerful political agi
tator of the county, openly declar-
ed themselves for Casfey's Republic
can opponent. The Adairs were at
torneys and head bill posters for the
Good Citizens League movement, the
same organization that contributed to
Wooster's present dryness; and they
carried with them the entire endorse
ment of the Good Citizens movement
to Caskey's opposers. AS trenchant
interjectory remark, it is fitting to
observe that while the majority OF the
people were in sympathy with the aims
of some of those who composed the
Good Citizens League, yet the past
record of the Adairs made their sud
den turning to the reform side of
politics seem like the grasp of a
drowning man at the proverbial straw,
and that their honesty was sincerely
doubted probably gave Caskey at
least six hundred extra votes at the
election.
Captain Merkle, Of Shreye, was Cas-
keys opponent on the Republican
ticket. Merkle was lauded as a saint
by the good-some leaguers and Cas-
keys record was made to look like the
attenuated career of an ex-prIze fight
er. First, foremost and all the time,
1t was said ~ him that he could neith-

over the so-called cumbersome efforts
of Caskey to be politically decent and
democratically loyal, and served at
the time to create only more merri-
ment
In the meantime, while Caskey
farmed and conducted threshing out
fit and quietly electioneered by turns,
the political wheels were revolving
toward the expiration of Armstrong
Browns second term as sheriff. The
democracy of the county assumed a
forbidding aspect on the verge of the
campaign and unforeseen developments
which might have a bearing on Cas-
keys fortunes were taking the shape
of storm clouds, liable to break and
bring disaster. One of the features
which was bound to make the surface
of the political sea bubble was the
defeat of Hon. II. s. Wertz at the
Seventeenth district congressional
convention, the plumb from that tree
falling into the lap of w. A. Ash
brook, of Johnstown, who according
to well authenticated report spiked the
cannon in a certain quarter of the
camp with a very large wad.

Wooster, Jan. 9.-Never was a gov
ernor inaugurated with more eclat and
good feeling than was yesterday OBJ
served IA this city when William Cas-
key took the oath of office as sheriff
of Wayne county. Although the
ceremony of making q sheriff-elect
the sheriff in fact is q simple matter,
yet in the present instance the event
was sucn triumph Of clean man
and clean politics over party bicker-
ings and unmentionable subterfuge
upon the part of politically dissipated
outcasts from Caskey's party camp,
that not a few evinced their Joy in a
sort of local jubilee at which certain
efigiate characters who made Cas-
keys triumph strenuous one. were
consigned to future oblivion.
Caskey's fight was probably one of
the hardest ever conducted for a
county Office. Beginning with his con-
test for the nomination several years
ago, at which time he was defeateo
by small margin by Armstrong
Brown, Caskey subsidized only long
enough to- put his business affairs in
shape that would allow freedom Of ac-
tion In the carrying out of his polit-
ical plans. Being a staunch Democrat,
he refused to make political alliances
which might have brought MIN the
Office at the expiration of his oppon-
ent's term, though at the cost of his
party honor. At about this time
Caskey gave his supporters slogan
which had something to do with his
final winning of the race.
Caskey's eye had been on the sher-
IFS Office long before he progressed
so far as to become candidate at
the primaries. He had listened to
promises, had observed irksome re-
strtctions and had been subseryient to
the faction that was holding him in
allegiance. But when the party ring
| formed itself into a sort of crack the
whip affair. with Caskey always at
the tail end, the latter yelled Justify
that he was a pretty decent sort of a
man and wanted to be treated as such,
or else he wanted to retire from the
political game altogether.
Then Caskey circumnayigated the
county. The upshot of what he said
to the voters was, 81 want you to
give decent man chance" The
phrase was abbreviated for more con-
venient enunciation and a musing ad-
mirer of the big would-be sheriff in
fused poetic fire into the local vo-
cabulary of the campaign and warbled:
20 can't we give decent man a
chance?
He's waited long while all the 9TH
ers danced,
He's opposed to county graft.
Let US not give him the laugh;
Instead, let's let him wear the sher-
IFS pants"
The melody to which the words of
the above were tuned foated into the
camp of those who were making r~Sry
