these banks have deposits of Sl,l0O,030
each As they are financially inter-
ested in having Cleveland reelected it
is pretty certain that the managers of
the Free-Irale campaign will hear
from them before election.
Mr.. Mason in speaking of the com
ing investigation said:--''l have in-
formation that satisfies me that certain
banks have been particularly favored
and propose 10 ask them on the wit
ness stand whether they have not made

stringent measures ought To be taken
to prevent this disgraceful use Of the
peoples money To influence elections.
The voters of the country in the com
ing election will be called upon to de-
eide whether or not the American pol
icy of Protection will be sustained.
1t is bad enough to have English gold
used to defeat that policy. But it is
worse still to have money that belongs

one election (which was village
election) since he was voter. He
has not been an office seeker but in
the spring of 1855 he WAS prevailed
on, much against his will, to accept
the republican nomination for village
president. 1t vas conceded that the
fusion majority At that time was At
least 100, yet Mr.. Martin was elected
by majority of 10 over Mr.. Tucker
on a total vote OF 493.
In the campaign of 1886 Barney
Swope, the nominee for register of
deeds, withdrew from the ticket and
Mr.. Martin was put on in his place
by the unanimous vote OF the county
committee only about two weeks be
fore the election and WAS elected by
plurality of 3o6, only two men on
the ticket receiving more votes than
he. Hi. opponent, Or. Crandell, of
1t. Louis, being one of the most
popular men in that party. Mr..
Martin, before entering on the duties
of his Office, moved to Ithaca and
ha. honestly devoted his time and
ability to the duties of his office and
if selected will, in the future as in
the past conscientiously devote his
time TO the Office, one of the most
important in the county. We pre-.
dict triumphant election for Mr..
Martin.

1877 he was elected supervisor of his
township and again in 1887. In the
spring of 1888 he moved to Ithaca,
was elected justice of the peace for
the full term the next year and on

Our candidate for county treas
urcr was born in England in 1880.
At the age of l3 began work upon
the farm, which he continued till the
age of -. when having married, he
came to America, settled in the town
of North Shade. Gratiot county, and
located 100 acres of land on section
L.. BY industry and economy he
has been able TO secure the comforts
of a home i'm the LAND of the free"
He has held the Office of town treas
urer for nine consecutive years and
that of supervisor continuously for
fourteen years, having been chair
man of the board for four years.
Mr.. Bricc was elected county treas
urcr in lss6 and has by his strict in
tegrity and careful business methods
commended himself to the suffrages
of the people for a second term.
Our candidate for register, Ches-
ter W. Martin, was born on a farm
in this state 80 years ago and spent
the years until he was 10 as other
farmers boys do who help to clear
up and develop new and growing
country. He then went to st. Louis
where he lived until Dec. of sc, with
the exception of three summers and
one winter that he spent at home
helping his father, whose business
affairs he took entire charge of from
the time he was ) years old, on ac-
count of his sickness
On coming to Gratiot county, Mr..
Martin engaged in the business Of
buying slaves for eastern dealers,
first by the month and later in part
ncrship with his brother, Floyd +.
and still later on his own account
paving out during the season of 50
and - alonc,s7O,OOO in cash in this
and adj joining counties for oak slaves
This business he followed until the
fall of 1854 when the oak timber in
this section became practically ex.
haustcd.
Mr. Martin then engaged in buy.
inc grain and produce in 81. Louis
with Parker Merrill, the firm being
Martin q Merrill. At the end Of
one year Mr. Merrill engaged in
railroad building and Mr.. Martin
continued the business alone making
IT. Louis one of the best markets in
the state and no man can say that he
ever wronged him out of pound OF
grain or cent of its price. In the
spring of 1856, grain being low and
the business not being remuncrativc,
Mr.. Martin became book keeper and
general manager for W. W. Starkcy
who AT that time commenced the
manufacture of wooden ware at ~.
Louis, and employing from 80 to IS
men. Mr. Martin had full charge,
Mr. Starkcy being away most of the
time. This position he held up To
the time of his moving to Ithaca,
giving the best Of satisfaction.
While Mr. Martin has always
taken a active interest in political
affairs of nation, state, county, town
