Northern tribune. [volume] (Cheboygan, Mich.) 1875-1885, 1880-10-30

August Gilner of this place has had
his pension increased from six dollars
to twelve dollars per month. Geo. E.
Frost did the business for him.
Watts S. Humphrey spoke at the Dun
can City school house Wednesday night
to an attentive. audience. Those who
heard him say that it was one of the
best political speeches he ever made.
Some of the Democratic candidates
already wear long faces and have about
given up the battle as a hopeless one.
They will feel worse after next Tuesday
when they find how badly they have been
left.
The difference between Ed. Forsyth of
of the Democrat and w. Chandler pub
Usher of the TRIBUNE, is that the former
cannot find any respectable politician
who will associate with him while he
acknowledges the latter can.
The Ladies of the Episcopal church
gave one of their enjoyable entertain
ments, in the way of an oyster supper
and social at the Grand Central Hotels,
last Tuesday night. The attendance was
large and good time enjoyed by all.
Because few Republicans get crazy
drunk and assault saloon men, and are
kicked out, is it any reason why George
Paquette, the best officer ChebOygan ever
had, will not make good Sheriff.
Democrat. There's richness for YOU
red hot richness.
The Garfield and Arthur club had
rousing meeting at the Town Hall,
Thursday evening. The attendance was
large and every one seemed fully aroused
to the Importance of the coming cleo
ton. Those present enjoyed the speech
of Gen. Granger very much.
A gentleman from Point st. Ignace
says that large quantities of the lard
from the CannisteO were gathered in by
the habitas of that village, but was so
well taken care of that the agents of the
underwriters were unable to get any
trace of it. He says he heard of lard be-
ing offered for sale at ten dollars per
barrel and that one dealer was seen
cutting up several lard barrels for fuel.
Last Wednesday young lad named
W. E. Burt, son of the Superintendent of
the works of the Martel Iron Furnace
company, at Point st. Ignace, got his
leg caught in a line on the Lady May,
running between Mackinac and the
Point, resulting in breaking the leg and
nearly pulling it off. He would have
been more seriously injured had it not
been for the timely assistance of P, w.
HOmbach.
Vote for Frank Shepherd for PrOsecut-
ing Attorney. He will make an efficient
prosecutor and will not be so busy but
that he can find time, when complaints
are made, to make out the necessary
papers. 1t will be remembered that in the
case of Moore, the Jail breaker, James j.
Brown, the present Prosecuting Attorney
and the Democratic candidate for that
Office, was so very busy that he could
not find time to attend to the complaint
until Moore had fled.
A most distressing case of suffering
and want was discovered this week in a
family named Helmer on the east side
of the river. The neighbors had noticed
that the curtains had been down, with
no one stirring around the house for a
day or so and proceeded to investigate,
when they found the man and wife both
sick in bed with fever, with young
child with them. No wood, no food and
suffering for care and treatment. The
case was made known to the Directors of
the Poor, who at once took steps to pro-
vide for their necessities.
The Democrat is much concerned
about who attended to collecting the
tolls of the Sault canal during the few
days Collector Chandler was about. We
would like to have the editor inform the
readers of the Democrat what business
James ]. Brown Prosecuting Attorney
had to leave and 60 canvassing in the
interests of C. A. Gallagher while several
important assault and battery cases
were pending, which it was his duty to
prosecute. Was it because he feared if
he attended to his duty he would offend
those he prosecuted and thus lose some
votes?
Tim Tarsney the Democratic candi-
date for Congress from this district,
after it was known and cOnclusively
prevent hat the Garfield Chinese letter
was forgery, did not hesitate to have
large number printed in English and
German and circulated in the Saginaw
valley, bringing in his opponent the Hon.
Roswell G. Horr as endorsing the senti-
ments therein expressed. Honest and
fair minded Democrats of ChebOygan
county can you place confidence in a
man who will thus endorse a known
forgery and circulate it to injure his
political opponents? Can such man
be trusted to look after your interests?
Think we'll before you vote next Tuesday
and then vote accordingly to your con-
victiOns as to what is best for the inter-
ests of this large district.
The Democrat gives as parallel case
with the Mckay assault and battery case
