doubtless be given the chance, as Allen Is .
hard man 10 beat
Ii would not be at all surprising If there

among the Republicans. There is one ele-
ment that think that Hon Jas. ODonnell
while the Barry County men want . man
named Clement Smith. of Hastings. nominal

to the convention with q large quantity o
blood in their eyes and some of ii will b,
spilled at the Reed City Convention. They
will 90 there solid for . Muskegon man.
Cutcheon is nominated, The Democrats will
put up Muskegon man and then the ful
