George l.. Maltz, a leading citizen
of Alpena, has been nominated by
the Republican State convention for
the Office of State Treasurer. Mr.
Maltz is well known here and much
respected, and has hosts of friends
He will receive his party vote in this
county, and, no doubt, will make
strong efforts to get many of his slips
on Fusion tickets. 1t has been as
serted by some that because a citizen
is nominated for State office, he
should receive warm support from
the opposite party, but we can not
agree with this proposition. Mr..
Maltz, as a citizen of this county, and
Mr.. Maltz, as a candidate on the Re-
publican State ticket, are in two very
different positions. AS an individual
he carries with him the respect of a
large number of the Democratic par
ty, but he must not expect that a
large number of Democrats will sup
port him as one Of the standard bear
ers of the Republican party. Voters,
almost universally, of all political
parties, vote their State and national
tickets straight. 1t is different from
local ticket where voters look more
to the men than to the ticket. Re-
publicans will render their State tick
ct warm support, and we believe
the Democrats will warmly support
all the candidates nominated by the
Democratic and Greenback State con-
ventions, because they know that the
men nominated are good and worthy
men, and because they know that the
election of Republicans to State and
national offices, means a continuance
of the unjust tariff laws, of monop-
lies, and of laws that favor the few
at the expense of the many. We be-
lieve that when the votes are counted
next November, every candidate
on the Republican State ticket will
be in the minority. Regarding Mr..
Maltz and this county we.have heard
two very different views expressed.
One says he will receive a large ma
jority in Alpena county; the other
says he will not carry the county.

subjects of contemporaneous import
ance. 1t will contain an exhaustive
history of former abuses of the Pen
sion Office, and of the prostitution to
party ends of this bureau, which was
organized for the dispensation of the
peoples money to the peoples SOL
diery.

squandering of the public domain by
the Republican party, and of the re-
cent movements inaugurated by Dem
ocrats to restore it to the original
owners, the people. 1t will discuss
the Civil Service as abused heretofore
and as administered by President
Cleveland. 1t will contain valuable
matter touching the administration Of

COMMISSIONER BLACKS ROD.
He Has 1t Ready for the Republicans
Who Have Been Laughing at Him.

WASHINGTON, April 4-The Republi-
can Senators have been finding a great
deal OF amusement, or protesting to lind
1t, in the evidence brought out on the ex-
animation OF Gen. Black, Commissioner
OF Pensions, by the investigating COM
mlttee. They claim that the Commits
sloner has proved few facts to support the
sweeping statements of his report con-
cernlng the use the Republicans had
made of the pension office as partisan
political machine But the end
is not yet. Gen. Black has a
rod In pickle for his critics which
they little suspect. He will produce be-
fore them the letter. book of his office,
covering very important period in
colonel Dudley's career as Commissioner
and political manager, and will show the
ragged stubs Of page after page of cor
respOndence that have been torn out. The
private secretary OF Commissioner Dud-
ley Is now in the employ of Commissioner
Black. He will be put upon the stand
and will testify that he tore these pages
out of the book with his own hand at the
direction of Colonel Dudley, and will
give oral testimony as to their contents.
1t is reported that the revelations he is
prepared to make will not only cause
public sensation, but Will effectually
silence the Republican Senators who
have been casting contempts upon the
Commissioners,

Pink and Fed Teas.

MILJEDGEvILLE, April A pink tea
given by Mr. and Mrs. l.. N. Galloway at
their residence Friday evening, in honor
OF Miss Sallie Fleming, of Athens, was
the most enjoyable event OF the season.
While TINS was going on large crowd
OF young men were enjoying red tea at
the Bicycle club room. Their supper was
prepared by the best restaurant in the
city ana was fine indeed. IL may be sug-
gested, though, that the tea did not come
from China but was manufactured by the
brewers and dlstillers OF the West. When
they had imbibed enough tea TO produce
enthusiasm they secured the services Of q
string band and went over the city seren-
aiding their sweethearts.

pounds each were found this morning in

SENATORIAL SECRECY.
CDMUNDs FAVORS A COMPRO-
MISE ON THE ISSUE.

Publication i'll the journal of the
Next Day denominations Confirmed
His Proposition-HOw the Senators
stand on the Question-The Pros
pects ofthe Educational Bill.
WASHINGTON, d. c., April 1.-The
opinion of the Senate respecting the reso-
luton for the consideration Of nomina-
tions in open instead of executive ses-
sions is well indicated by the remark at
tributed to Senator Platt, of Connecticut,
today, that before this session ends he
expects to see his resolution providing for
the consideration of nominations in open
session adopted by the Senate. 1t may be
that the Senator from Connecticut is two
sangune, but it is the general opinion Of
those familiar with the views of the Sena-
Tors on this question that a resolution
similar to Mr.. Platt's will be adopted by
the Senate before the expiration of this
Congress.
EDMUNDs' PLAN.
If is stated that Mr.. Edmunds favors
compromise resolution which may be
adopted at this session providing for the
daily publication of the journal of the eX
ocutiYe session. This would give simply
the formal proceedings, the motions
made and the votes upon them. Then,
too, under the present rule of the Senate
providing that combinations and rejec-
lions shall not be made public until TWO
subsequent executive sessions have been
held. The journal would be
several days late when published
For the prompt announcement OF a con-
hrmation or a rejection and for the debate
on a nomination the public would still
have to depend upon the enterprise OF the
newspapers, but great step in advance
has been taken when Mr.. EGmunds
favOrs a proposition, for it would of
course be an entering wedge for open ses-
sions on nominations.
THE EDUCATIONAL BILL.
The House Committee on Labor will
hold meeting tomorrow, and a member
Of the committee says will agree as a
compromise to report the Willis educa-
tOnal bill without recommendation.
Then, Mr.. Willis says, the bill will be
passed. In that event a veto may be ex-
pected from the President.

Eight Members OF "a California Syndi-
cate Indicted for Perjury.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 4.-rne United
States grand jury yesterday found an in-
dictment against eight prominent citizens
Of this State for perjury in the case Of
fraudulent entries OF $4,000 acres of red
wood timber land in Humboldt county,
California. The names OF three Of the in
dicted persons are Joseph Russ, David
Evans and Charles II. King, who collec-
lively represent capital OF 100000. The
names OF the other five are not yet known,
but It is said they are all wealthy men.
Investigation shows that the persons in
dcted were all members OF the California
Red Wood Company, the capital Of which
was mainly subscribed in Scotland. The
indicted persons induced about 600
American citizens 10 take up
1850 acres OF land each, for which
each received $50. The entries were in
all cases immediately conveyed TO David
Evans, one OF the indicted persons, and
the California Red Wood Company after
ward sent an agent TO Scotland 10 form a
syndicate, and 10 sell the lands. The syn.
dicate paid the California Red Wood Com
pany $40 an acre for the land which, as
shown later, II had fraudulently pur-
chased from the government for w 90 an
acre. Testimony has been secured from
over 100 persons who accepted a bribe.
Suit will be instituted by the government
10 set aside all these entries, as well as the
patents already issued.
