Who Worked The Sku duggery.

The Republican, from all it had previously heard of Eben H. Wolcott, of Wolcott, fully endorses the Remington Press in its belief in his personal honor and rectitude. We freely believe he had no share nor even knowledge of the schemes by which the nomination for state senator was stolen for him, at Goodland, last. Tuesday. The scheme was undoubtedly the work of a little band of corrupt, pie-hunting politicians from Kentland, who have become past-masters in the art’of trickery through long years of “flim-flemmirfg” the of northern, and central Newton, on the county seat relocation question. And- of which, work in that line the rascally law passed by the last legislature to settle the county seat matter (soley in Kentland’s favor) was their masterpiece, their crowning triumph oftrickery and dishonesty.
