Bancroft people believe that what is
worth doing at all Is worth doing well. AT
present we are having little moist weather
and 1t is no half way job either.
The annual meeting and banquet of the
Bancroft Calathumpians took place at their
hall last evening and 1t was decided sue
cess. Some little trouble was experienced
in appropriating sufficient of the necessities
of life for the supper, but the hustlers went
further and the table was bountifully sup
piled with all the delicacies of the season.
Only two arrests were made and they were
quickly disposed of, to the satisfaction of
all admirers of fine cigars. 1t was night
long to be remembered.

The Masonic installation on the afternoon
of the 9th was admirably conducted by DIR.

until very recently resident of that place.
After the installation Rev. w. G. Way, of
Chesaning, delivered very fine lecture on
secret societies. and especially on Masonry.
The dance in the evening was quite well at
tended and from a financial point was quite
success.
Who is that young fellow that has been

When Skid Watson went to milk his cow
last night he could not get drop of milk

GORMAN'S POLITICAL BREAK.

The Senator Opposes the Australian Bal
lot System for Maryland.
BALTIMORE, Dec. 31.-United States Sena-
tor German delivered speech yesterday
afternoon at meeting of the Democratic
editors Of the counties of Maryland, that
proves TO be the largest-sized political sensa-
ton to whichwhich the public has been treated
for good while The Democratic campaign
last fall was conducted practically under the
auspices of the Business Mems Democratic
association. Two weeks ago that organiza-
ton pledged itself to secure the passage by
the next legislature of the Australian cleo
ton law, which hadSbeen favored and urged
all along by the Crescent club, the Reform
league, the Knights of Labor, the Federation
of Labor, and other political and labor organi-
zations At the editors meeting yesterday
Senator German inveighed against the Aus
tralian system, and said that it must not
pass. The Democratic party in Maryland
had already made too many concessions to
the reformers and to the Republican party
The Australian system might operate well
enough in Massachusetts,, he said, where the
people were better educated as a whole, but
was not suited to Maryland, where there
were so many uneducated people. The tenor
OF his speech was most emphatically against
a secret ballot.
Wanted It Kept Quiet.
After the speech had been delivered, Cor
man arose from his seat again and requested
every man present to observe secrecy with
reference to anything that was said or that
transpired at the meeting. The matter
leaked out, however, and has caused the big
gest kind of stir. The plan was to have
some county paper publish an editorial
against the Australian system and that the
others should follow their lead.

The TIMES notes with unalloyed pleasure
that the proposition to have the executive
sessions of the Senate public, is being press
ed with renewed vigor, and we hope it may
be successful. We claim it absurd and I'M
American to hold secret sessions by any
deliberate body. The Senate is part of
the appointing power, and when nomina-
tons for official positions are sent to that
body, we believe the people have a right to
know just what is done, in each particular
case, and the reasons which influence Sena-
torial action. We say away with secret
sessions. Let every session be open to the
public and less mistakes will be made.
Howard affirms that Ex-senator Melon
aid, of Indiana, is convinced that Senator
voorhees, will be his own successor in the
upper house, and that Cleveland will be his
own successor on the national Democratic
ticket. That may be, but he won't he Har-
risons successor. and that, after all, is the
chief point.

HELENA, Mont, Dec 3i-The resignation
OF the two rival judges of Silver Bow county,
and the appointment by Governor Toole of
the Democratic contestant, as soon as the
designations was received, has caused con-
siderable friction in Republican ranks, many
OF the hot-headed kind declaring that Hamil-
ton has sold out the business by resigning,
especially as it gave Governor Toole another
opportunity to recognize the validity of the
Tunnel precinct vote, which he improved.
Slight Unpleasantness.
Yesterday Sheriff Lloyd, the Republican
incumbent in Silver Bow county, who has
refused his office to Sullivan, the Democrat,
met Hamilton in the Grand Central dining
room in this city, and commenced to abuse
him. Lloyd and Hamilton, with two or
three walters, were the only men in the din
ing-room. Lloyd and Hamilton pulled their
revolvers simultaneously and had nearly
reached the proper level to fire, when two
walters seized the excited men, and before
the latter could recover friends rushed in
and took them away in opposite directions.
Both men are noted fighters, and only the
action of the walters prevented tragedy
The Legislative Deadlock.
The most interesting development in the
legislative contest is a proposition from the
Republican senator's that all the members
from Silver Bow go home, that members
OF the house over whose election there is
no dispute come together twenty-four of
each party, elect speaker and appoint
committee of three from each party to in
vestigate the Tunnel precinct case, and that
Immediately after the appointment of such
committee both the senate and house. with
out transacting any business whatever, ID.
journ fer twenty days in order to give the
committee time to report The Democrats
considered the proposition in the afternoon
and caucussed on it again at night.
Republicans Reject the Scheme.
The Republican house last night refused to
listen to the proposition of the Republican
senator's. Hearing of this action the Demo-
cratic house postponed consideration of the
matter. In the agreement between the sena-
tors it was stipulated, it is said, that if the
Democratic house rejected the proposition
for investigation, three Democratic senator's
would join the Republicans, and II the Re-
publicans rejected the proposition three Re
publican senator's would join the Democrats
The proposition was purely senatorial one,
and it remains to be seen what the outcome
OF the Republican rejection will be-

troit Journal.
just why the Detroit Evening Journal
should feel called upon to this covertly
sheer at the appointment of Hon. James
O'Donnell as chairman on the committee on
education is beyond our comprehension.
But no matter what may have been the
motive that inspired the Journal man to
pen the slur, the fact remains that the
Speaker honored the state and promoted the
public good by selecting Mr.. O'Donnell for
that position, and the fact that Mr.. O'Don-
nell owns the Citizen, is no good reason
why that able Republican journal should
not commend the action of the Speaker in
the make up of the committees, which has
never been excelled i'm the history of
Congress.

Our Democratic cotemporaEes may be as
sured that the Republican psrty stands on
the question of trusts precisely as set forth
in the Republican National platform in 1883.
And that their Senators and Representatives
in Congress will at the earliest practical mo-
ment voice hatprinciple in their enactments.
And further, that Republicans everywhere
believe with the Senator from Indiana, that
the trust is a nuisance, open and notorious,
and all legislation should be directed against
such combinations" But to-day the prac-
teal question is will the Democrats join
with the Republicans in securing such legs-
lation?

The one thing that we learned during our
recent trip to Iowa, that pleased us most,
was the certainty that the Hon. William d.
Allison will be reelected to the Senate by
the unanimous vote of the Republican
members of the Legislature. That is Just
as it should be. Mr.. Allison Is one OF the
ablest men in public life, has spotless
personal record, and an official record OF
which the nation is proud. His retirement
would be national calamity from which
the unfaltering patriotism of the Repub-
licans of Iowa will save us.
