The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1884-02-22

Committee IN the 9Th district call
district convention for the election of
delegates from it to the national con-
vention. The Editor of THE TINES,
Owosso, who is the chairman of the
committee would be glad to hear the
expressions of the working republi-
cans, outside the members OF the
committee, ON that question, and
wants all Republicans to give an ex-
preston by letter or postal on the
question, yes or no; and asks every
Republican Journal in the district to
copy this item.
The Michigan Central passenger
trains now, run over the Cantilever
bridge at Niagara Falls.
Michigan is to be represented at
Plttsburg by 81 delegates. Just
about one-tenth of the number that,
in November, will vote for the NOM
inee of the convention.
We suggest TO the editor of the
Charlotte Prohibitionist that he has
not been delegated by the Republi'
can party to make for it platform.
When you are, there will DE time
enough for you to say what planks
shall be put therein.
To the lasting disgrace of Mich
igan there are in her poor houses
forty of the brave boys in blue.
1t is said new evening paper, Re-
publican in politics, is soon to be
started in Detroit no need of that,
the Journal is good enough Repub-
lican paper.
1t is said that syndicate of New
York capitalists nave offered TO COM
plete the Canada Pacific without fur
ther government aid, the present
road 10 be given them, and to pay
stipulated tax on the property on and
after completion.
The TIMES is surprised to find in
the Caro- Advertiser and Citizen a
fling at Hon. VIM. Ball of Hamburg,
than whom Michigan has not a trurei
man, or a more unhinching Republi-
can. He may be a candidate for
Congressional honors, that we do not
know, but we do not believe that he
proposes 10 stand between Gen. 0. L.
Spaulding and that nomination in
1884, and in our opinion it is very
certain that neither he or Mr.. How
ard ought to antagonize Mr.. Spauld-
ing.
There is a great deal of force in the
following from the Big Rapids Pio-
neer:-"Now, Jeff Davis be quick,
this is your time. Fitz John Porter
is nearly through, and your turn
comes next"
The Flint Globe say "Owosso is al
ready preparing to place its base ball
terribles in the field again" THE
Times guesses that is new to the boys
in Owosso.
The Milan Journal will soon appear.
A new chair factory at Traverse
City.
Battle Creek claimes $4,000 inhab-
itants.
Fifty fish shantes on St. Ignace bay.
No journal of its class has attracted
so much attention during the past
twelve months as the Turf, Field and
Farm, published weekly at 80 and al
Park Row, New York. 1t has discussed
breeding theories in such way as
to make marked impression upon
the thoughtful public mind and to
draw out the views of many able stud
ents of the problem OF reproduction.
1t has shed great deal of light on an
important question, and its opinions
have been widely quoted. It's reports
of running and irotting meetings have
been models of clearness and accuracy,
and It's Field and Kennel department
has been better than ever. The fist
gun trial and the first field trial in
America were given at the suggestion
and under the direction of the Turf,
Field, and Farm, and so there is a
logical reason for the paper being re-
cognized as an authority upon dogs
and guns as well as horses. The
athletic and aquatic champions have
signed in its office, articles of agree.
