The Owosso City Republican caucus

full attendance of the Republican electors
of the city. All should remember this is
a Republican caucus.
The Cadillac News is responsible for
the following THE Detroit Free Press
says that Blaine is supported by the dis
honest part Of his party. and Cleveland is
supported by the honest part Of his. II
this were true, each of the men would
have but small following"
We learn by telegram that ex.Govern-
or Walter Hartman, Of New Hampshire,
died on Friday. Mr.. Hartman was one
of the ablest of the many war Democrats
of New Hampshire, and since the war has
been an active Republican, and was one
of the most eloquent men on the stump
in the state.
To the mechanics and working men of
Shiawassee county we most earnestly
commend the following extract from
Blaine's letter accepting the Republican
nomination for observation-disclosures are
unjustly reduced when an industrious
man is not able by his earnings to live in
comfort, educate his children and lay by
a sufficient amount for the necessities of
age"
On Monday morning. Mr.. H. b. Game,
of Owosss township, died aged 90 years.
Mr.. Caine had been for about thirty years
one of the prominent men of the township,
and was universally respected. His death
resulted from cancer under the left arm.
His funeral was attended on Tuesday from
his late residence, Rev. Mr.. Robinson, of
officiating, and his remains
deposited in Oakhill cemetery, followed
by long concourse of loving friends and
including several relatives from
Jackson county.
The Hastings Banner says the Vernon
vile Hawk is respectfully informed that
in Barry county are many Republicans
the peers of James O'Donnell. Well,

they have moved in since we moved out.
We think it is true that Barry county is
to the nominee for Congress in that
district, but it has no man that comes
within thousand rows OF apple trees of
being the peer of James ODonnell. The
best man there for Representative in Cen
gress is Hon. Daniel Striker. and he is a
good man.
AT the oil house the son of Mr.. A. Cal.
lard, late foreman at the Estey shops, was
hit and blue mark left across the abdo-
men. He was severly shocked but not
otherwise injured. II is said that the
lightning struck in at least eleven places
within mile and half in either direc.
ton from the National hotel. and what is
most singular of all, the buildings and
trees hit by the bolts were all low, while
all the high buildings escaped uninjured.
During the storm the rain fell in torrents,
the like of which the oldest Inhabitants
never saw before.
In the following little sqiiib telegraph to
the Evening Journal from Corunna, the

tifully illustrated: 1.-The U. d. Camp,
No. IS, is to be instituted here to-day.

ton in the following wise and truthful
words:-"The whole management of the
convention was tremendous step back
ward in American politics, and the nom.
ination of Cleveland rested solely upon
the enforcement of the gag or unit rule
