A Most Excellent Address.

TIC MIIWaUhtt JOUfndI,
The address to the voters of Wis
consin, issued by the democratic state
committee, will convince the people of
Wisconsin that the democratic party
has for once the courage of its con
yictions. The language of the address
is simple and direct, leaving no chance
for misunderstanding on the part of
friend or opponent. On such an issue
no man can say which party will get
the presidential vote of Wisconsin this
year. We congratulate the committee
and the party it represents.

The lecture given by Elder Wheeler
in the church at this place last Thurs
day evening was highly enjoyed by
those who attended. Several from
Montfort were present. Think most
of the listeners concluded that the
boys if properly cared for are still a
pretty good class of people, notwith-
standing the good old fathers who say

Ed. Mellor has purchased the James
Rule farm and will soon take possess
sion.
That some still have confidence in
the success of the farm, and are I'M
daunted by the past two years drouth
we have been subjected to is shown
by the lorg prices that have been
obtained for farms that have been
disposed of in Linden and Eden town
ships the past six months.
VIM. Alton and w. Batten took a
trip over to Richland county to ex-
anime some of the cheese factories
there. Mr.. Atoms factory is in course
of erection, and he will have it fitted
with all the improved appliances for
the manufacture of of first class Amer
lean cheese. The interest that is being
taken in the production of cheese
among our farmers will soon make
this an important locality for that
product.
Our butcher has arrived and will in
few days be ready to open business.
Persons wishing to purchase drafts
or having drafts they wish cashed can
have their wants attended to at
Willard Eastman's office. He is now
prepared to do a general banking
business.
Another effort will be made with
our farmers this season to get more
land in grass. They realize that grass
enters largely into the profitable pro-
ducts of the farm, and must be the
basis of successful agriculture. Large
sums of money have been lost the past
two dry seasons in the investment in
grass seeds, and it is hoped that this
year will see our usual fine g catch of
grass on lands that grass seed is sown
on.
The report Of the committee Senator
Erwin and Assemblymen Hooker and
Field appointed by the legislature last
winter to visit the various prisons and
report on the best method of employ
ing The convicts shows that we had
the right kind of men on that COM
mittee. The report should be read by
every one who has any sympathy with
abolishing prison labor. While we have
that deprayed and unfortunate convict
within our prison walls, let us see that
he earns his own living. The COM
mittee made many observations, and
officials of the various prisons all
agreed that employment of the convict
was necessary to have reform and
sanity. How any taxpayer can give
the idea of the abolition of convict
labor any countenance or sympathy,
| am at a loss to know. This able
and thorough report should be con-
elusive and forever settle in the
minds of our people that the prisoner
shall pay his way through life if it is
confined to narrow limits. w.J.R.

OUR CANDIDATES.

John ID. Grinnell, candidate for rep
resentative in the State Legislature, is
well known to our readers, having been
identified with our people so long. that
we feel he needs no introduction from
us. Mr.. Grinnell will look well after
the interests of this district if elected,
and should receive your cordial sup
port.
We again call attention to Jacob Ber-
natz as sheriff, who is our choice among
the candidates. We would like to see
Mr.. Bernatz elected, and urge our read
ers to realize his fitness for this partic-
ular Office and so cast their votes in the
right direction when they vote for him.
For a responsible position one votes
for a responsible person, or should. a
man who is careful, accurate and meth
odical in business, who is conscientious
and reliable, who enjoys the confidence
of the people is the man for the Office
of Judge of Probate and all these quail
tiles we find in Charles X. Dodge, one
of Port Huron's able lawyers, whom we
expect to see elected to this position
next month.
Retain John 5. Duffie as Register of
Deeds. Why put new, inexperienced
man in this Office, where the longer n
good man holds it, the better able he
will be to serve the people, and good
serving is what we want. Cast your
votes for j 5. Duflie.
Our choice for the Office of County
Treasurer is Sidney S. Brooker, of Ca
pac. For this position of trust we are
confident that he is peculiarly qualified.
Two years ago slight mistake found
in the spelling of Mr.. Burns, the pres
ent encumbent's name, while counting
the votes, would have given Mr.. Brook
er the office, but he very generously de-
clined to take advantage of the mistake,
and now this year that he is running
again we have every reason to think he
will be elected, as he is good man fol
the place, honest and efficient. Let all
in this community help him along with
their votes.
; Seward l.. Merriam, the prominent
/; young lawyer, for prosecuting attorney
See that you vote for him. Straight
forward, manly, practical and level
headed, he is fully competent to holC
this Office
Support Thos. S. Emery for Circui

him q strong run, and sure election
|, as he is promising young lawyer anC
. will fill this office in proper manner.
v For State Senator in the 18th Sena
tOriai district we take pleasure in bring
ing forward the name of Gilbert II
Lovejoy, of Richmond, Macomb coun
ty, who has always been staunch Re

vance on Saturdays closing, being a con-
sin1ation of Saturdays firmness. Shorts
were anxious to cover and at the same time
the offerings were liberal, local trader

Trading was moderate in mess pork and
the feeling steadier. Offerings were not
