Alma record. (Alma, Mich.) 1878-1928, 1888-11-02

Tuesday.
DIR. McLachlain, of Elwell was in

inaw over Sunday.

Jas. l.. Clark, addressed Republican

ID. Depew who for some time has been
on A. w. Wrights farm in south part
Of the town has moved his family in
the G.. III. Coats house near the Milliken
House.
Enos. Kimmel raised 432 buhels of
yellow dent core from four acres, and
six years earlier he raised from this
same land 47t bushel of wheat per acre,
who can beat it?
Mrs. c. b. Thorne, Owosso's fine So
prano soloist, has removed TO Lansing.
Her advent will very materially
strengthen the city's already exception
ally well balanced musical talent.-Re-
publican, Lansing.
Marcus Pollasky was in town Thurs
day on his way from Detroit, where lie
made one of his sterling speeches be-
fore the Germans Of that city. The
Tribune of Wednesday gives portion
of it and speaks very highly Of Alma's
former boy as an orator. He returned
to Chicago Friday morning.
The Democratic papers of this county
while insisting that j. l.. Potts, can
didate for Judge of Probate, has not
been in the county long enough to be
entrusted with public office forget that
such statement is boomerang, that
cuts Mr.. Balhke worse than Mr. Potts
as Balhke came here since Potts did.
The Prohibition Rally advertised to
come off at the rink Tuesday at two
O'Clock was not very spirited affair.
There were few friends gathered at
the rink but the speakers who had been
advertised were non est except Rev.
Richards of st Louis who kindly COLI
sented to fill the vacancy and the friends
nothing daunted by their disappoint-
ment held on till evening when there
were sufficient accessions to their num-
ber, to comfortably fill the rink, they
ere addressed by Hon. Lemuel Clute
of Ionia in an able manner. Perhaps
the only valid objection that can be
urged to his address is it is not pertin-
ent to the Issue in this Campaign. Mr..
Clute was followed by Amherst b.
Cheney gentleman of ability as All
orator and one who had he allied him
self to the question at issue in this Cam
paign would have made his influence
to be telt.
The Gratiot Herald is silly enough to
claim b. III. Sawyer incompetent be-
cause he asked for assistance in the
Palmer trial. Can the Herald point us
to one case of murder of any impor-
tance where prosecutor has not had
assistance? Examine the Carr case;
Mr.. Whitney received 500, j. l.. Potts
$50; in the Crouch murder, did the pros
ecutor of Jackson Co. have assistance
In the Stratton and Skinner case, Jas.
h. Wright was assisted by Blanchard
of Ionia, others can be mentioned
Such talk will do for campaign wrangle,
but it is too fresh to expect intelligent
people will take any stock in. 1t is safe
TO say that no prosecutor in the state
ever tried murder case without as
sistance. Also in regard to services
rendered by Jas. l.. Clark at the be
ginning of Mr.. Sawyer term, it's is
true that Mr.. Clark, the former
Prosecuting Attornry assisted Mr..
Sawyer in one or two of the old
cases which he was familiar with
and had commenced himself, without
charge to the county or to any one. As
it is the custum of an outgoing prose-
cutor to do this out of courteosy to the
new prosecutor and the county has not
had to pay and is not liable to pay sin
gle dollar or single cent for such kind
ly services rendered.
