He must also produce and affix to
each and every package the proper
tax-paid stamp, and cancel the same
by stenciling or drawing five fine
waved lines across the face of the
stamps, such lines to extend over on
the wood above and below the stamp.
AS soon after October 81, 1886, as
it can be done, the revenue officers
will travel over the district, inspect
the stock on hand and seize all that is
not found duly marked, branded and

ferred to must be mt once delivered or

The law relating to ordinary special

the special taxes imposed on the man
ufacture and sale of olcomargarine.
The law is substantially as follows:
Every person or firm liable to special
tax must, before commencing business
file, and thereafter, while thus liable,
not later than the 30th of April of
each year, again file with the Collector
or Deputy Collector sworn return,
and pay to such officer the amount of
the tax. For failure to make this
return penalty of fifty centum of the
amount Of the special tax incurred
and must be collected as the law gives
no discretion to the Collector rs to the
collection of such penalty,

Alpena township-Thomas Beryo.
Maple Ridge-Oliver Fitzpatrick.

Wilson-Chas. Emerson.
Ossineke-Jerimiah Patnod.
Remarks were made by A. w. Com
stock, and Mcssrs. Simmons, O'Brien
and Owens returned thanks for the
nominations.
The ticket nominated is one that
will be elected if supported by the
Democrats and Greenbackers. The
candidates are all we'll known. All
of them, except one, have already
served the people acceptably, and
given satisfaction. Mr.. Lynch, the
candidate for sheriff, shas served as
Alderman for the Second ward, and
has acted rs under sheriff for the past
four years. He is therefore well
qualified for the office, and will, we
believe, make Il good sheriff. AS
regards Messrs. Simmons and O'Brien
all we have to say in that we have 10
doubt as to their being elected. They
are two good officials, competent,
reliable and universally
respected. The record made by Mr..
Mcnamara, when he ran for State
Senator two years ago, is well known
by the citizens, and we predict he will
poll large vote and be elected The
rest of the candidates OH the tickets
arc already holding the Offices for
which they have been nominated for
4 second term, and we believe they
will be again elected.
IF the ticket receives the warm sup
port of the Fusionists of this county
It ought to have majority of at least
POO.

DR.. ii. A. Reynolds.

The Prohibition Party, at this city
opened their political campaign, fol
this fall, at the Opera House, las
Thursday cvening-the speaker being
the well known DIR. II. A. Reynolds
Il once stalwart Republican. The
attendance of citizens was the largest
we have ever seen at a Prohibition
meeting in this city, and shows plainly
that the Prohibition cause is growing
and more interest taken therein.
The meeting was commenced by
Rev. Mcintosh, of the NJ. e. church,
who delivered prayer, and then, in
a few well chosen words, introduced
DIR. Reynolds, who spoke for about
an hour and half.
DIR. Reynolds is very forcible
speaker and made Il strong argument
for his party. In speaking of the two
old parties, he defined the Democrats
as honest on the temperance question
as they were openly for license. The
speaker denominated them as the
Rum party. "The Republican party"
said the speaker, claimed to be "a
temperance party, and it was not"
According to DIR. Reynolds, the
Republican party were party of
hypocrites on the temperance question.
Regarding liquor men, he said he was
not there to abuse them. Their
business was legal-made so by. the
Republican party, who having con-
trolled this State for the last twenty
six years, and were responsible for all
laws passed. He read an extract from
Judge Cooly's decisions in regard to
legality Of the liquor traffic in the
eyes of the law, and declared if he
was a liquor man he would pay no
license. He expressed his contempt
for those Christians who prayed every
day Of the year for the suppression Of
the liquor traffic, and then went and
cast their votes to maintain the liquor
business. He expressed his belief
that the Prohibition party would cast
n million and half Of votes at the
next Presidential election, and related
his experiences during n lecturing
trip, in the Southern States, and said
It was just as free to talk there
Is it was in the Northern States, and
here was stronger Prohibition feel
ng in the Southern States than in
Inc States north. In conclusion he
lsked those ladies present who were
n favor of Prohibition to stand up,
md the great majority stood up. The
men who were going to vote the Prohi-
)ition ticket were then asked to stand
Up, and quite Il number respon-
led. The speaker made the assertion
han if temperance news were wanted,
/ person would have to read the
Democratic papers to find such, and
he Republicans had declared they
lad no further use for prohibitionists.

The conference committee reported
having conferred with the Green
hackers, who conceded the office of
of sheriff, clerk, treasurer and one
coroner to the Democrats, and were
willing to enter into joint convention
if allowed to have their GO votes.
After some discussion Mr.. Turnbull
moved the adoption of the report
which was carried.
The 4th informal ballot was then
taken which resulted as stated above,
and, on motion of Mr.. Phelps, the
votes was declared formal and Charles
l.. Lynch declared the unanimous
choice Of the convention for sheriff.
Andrew j. Simmons, for county
treasurer, and Michael O'Brien for
county clerk, were then nominated
by reclamation.
The Greenbackers now entered the
convention, being represented by the
chairmen of their different ward and
township delegations, who were
authorized to cast the full vote of
their delegations.
Peter Owens and l.. j. Partridge
received the nomination for coroners
by reclamation, and Wm. Hasset was
appointed teller to represent the
Greenbackers.
Two informal ballots were then
taken for Prosecuting Attorney, with
result as follows:

William g. Beard.

The Fusion candidate for State
Treasurer, was born in the City of
Exeter, Devonshire, England, on the
oath of June, 1S47, and is 80 years
old. He came to Toronto, Can, with
his parents in 1850, and received a
common school education. lie visited
Michigan in 1857 and became so favor
ably impressed with the State and its
people that he determined to become
one of its citizens. He located in Bay
City in 1868, and soon after formed a
partnership with his father, Geo.
Beard, to engage in the building
business, and continued i'll this bust
ness until he was elected Register of
Deeds in Bay County in 1878 on the
National Greenback ticket. He was
reelected to the same Office in 1882,
and was elected Treasurer of Bay City
in April, 1885, aud is now serving his
second year. He took Il very prom
inent part in organizing the National
party in his county, and has done as
much work as any man in the county
to build up the organization, the
result of which is that Bay County
has always polled larger Greenback
vote than any county in the State
proportionately. He never solicited
a nomination to any office, in his case
the office always seeking the man and
not the man the Office, He always
ran ahead of his ticket and his popu-
larity at home is SO great that in the
election of 1882, while his party was
the weakest by large odds, in his own
ward he received majority of votes
over his two opponents. In his cleo
ton for City Treasurer he received
the largest vote of any candidate on
his ticket His nomination for State

WI. Churchill, of Alpena, will be
a prominent candidate before the
Democratic congressional convention
for this district. He has the reputa-
ton of being frst-class business man,
with the most perfect confidence of
the community in which he resides.
His character is above reproach and
his abilities are such rs would make
him peer Of the best in congress,
should he be elected to that important
position. He has a further qualifica-
ton which should weigh heavy in his
favor--he lives outside Of Bay City, 4
place which seems to have undertaken
to pre-empt the right to the representa-
tive at the expense Of the rest Of the
district. Bay City is but small
portion of the Tenth District and
ought to be satisfied with the favors
she has already had.-Clarc Demo-

The official return of all the votes
cast ut the recent Maine election,
excepting a few small towns, places
the Republican majority over all at
only S,96S. Two years ago the Rep
ublican majority over all was 1928.
AT the recent election the Republicans
polled 1850 votes over the Demo
Gratis, and two years ago the Republi-
cans had 20,060 votes more than the
Democrats. The result this year is
not very encouraging for Rcpubli-
cans.

The vote for President Cleveland i

The vote. for President Cleveland IS
that cast by the Democrats and Green
hackers. The Republican majority
was only 276. During the past two
years the Fusionists have gained
largely, and the Republicans have
lost many of their members. 1t is,
therefore, very evident that there is a
good prospect of the Fusion party
electing their candidate in this Sen
atorial district, if they only nominate
a good man.

0leomargarine Law.

The Oleomargarine law, passed by
last Congress, goes into effect October
31st, 1886, and the following from the
Free Press will show how it effects
retail dealers
The law imposes a special tax on
retail dealers in oleomargarine of $4S
per annun. They are described in the
law every body who sells oleomar-
garine in less quantities than ten
pounds at one time" They may sell
directly from original stamped pack
ages in quantities not exceeding ten
pounds, but it cannot be delivered in
the original manufacturers package.
He must therefore make up his own
packages. New wooden or paper
packages similar to those usually en-
ployed in selling butter and lard
may be used by the retail dealer but
he cannot reuse package which has
been before used for oleomargarine,
The package must be strong enough
to securely hold the oleomargarine,
and every package ola retail dealer
must have printed or branded thereon,
in letters not less then one-quarter of
an inch square, his name and address
and the word "Oleomargarine," and
the quantity in pounds contained
therein, written or printed thereon, as
follows:
"l Pound
Oleomargarine."
81 Pound
Oleomargarine."
AS the case may be.
Deputy collectors are required to
inquire after and concerning all per-
sons in their respective divisions who
are liable to pay special tax, and all
persons owning or having the care and
management of the articles taxed
under the Oleomargarine law, 10 see
that no frauds are practiced and that
special taxes are paid by every person
liable thereto. On the 31st day of
October, 1886, all oleomargariDe on
the premises of any dealer must be in
wooden packages containing not less
than ten pounds.
Every dealer must make, under
oath, written inventory of all the
packages on hand October 81, 1886,
containing oleomargarine, which shah
show the quantity in each and every
package and he must mark upon each
package as follows:

Communication

Mr.. EDIToR.-I see by your last
issue that you are booming w. l..
Churchill for Congress on the Demo-
cratic ticket. / believe know pretty
fully the sentiments of our party in
reference to Mr.. Churchill, and it is
that they don't want him for Congress
or any other office. They feel that
he is not straight Democrat. He
has been kicker for the past six or
eight years. He voted for A Igor two
years ago and did his level best
against part of our county ticket, and
spent money to defeat part Of our
county ticket. He did not contribute
a dollar at our last Presidential cleo
ton to help the cause. He has done
the party more harm than good since
he came to this county. The Democ-
racy don't want any such man as he
is and won't have him. The most of
the Democrats believe that the boom
that comes from elsewhere was paid
for.
Now, Mr.. Editor, when you boom
him for Congress, you don't repre-
sent the Democrats of this vicinity.
If you can point out single thing
that he did for the party they would
like to hear it.
G. ALPERN,
Delegate to Congressional convention.
