The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1890-08-22

"A resolution 10 endorse Turner ana y uuSe
Cahlll was tabled In the lngham Co. oonven-
ton. although the sentiment was strongly
in favor of both.
Belaire Breeze: There is gentleman
down at Detroit, named Joseph b. Moore,
who is going to be the next State treasurer
on Michigan. lie is a competent, response
BILE man, true-bue republican who has
done his party good service, and in the con-
vention will have the support OF the solid
Wayne delegation.
Boyne Citizen: Hon. John G.. Berry. of
Vanderbilt, Otsego county, is favorably
mentioned for commissioner OF state land
Office, by many of the state papers. Mr..
Berry is q true-blue republican. His career
has been above reproach; his name has
always appeared among those in his vicinity
working for the public good. We believe
the republican party can get no filter candi-
date for this Office, and that his nomination
means his election.
Flint Globe: The Republicans of Lapeer
county have elected their delegates to the
coming State Convention, and have in
structed them to vote for Hon. John T. Rich
for Governor first, last and all the time, and
to make the strongest fight they can for him.
In this effort they will be ably seconded by
the delegates from Genesee and also by Ma
comb. In the latter county Edward Weeks
made strong fight against Mr.. Rich, but
all the delegates elected are for Mr.. Rich
except one.
Sturgis journal: The most available man
whose name we have yet heard mentioned
in connection with nomination for lieuten-
ant-gOvernOr on the republican ticket is
Senator j. b. Dunstan of Hancock, and we
hope he will receive the nomination. While
tbs true Ire doesn't feel disposed to make a
contest for the office, we are sure he could
have it by saying the word, and now is the
time to speak. His nomination would be
for the very best interest of the party and
would give unbounded satisfaction to the
u. p. people.
State Republicans: Joseph B. Moore is
perfectly familiar with the finances of the
country, and as the chief executive officer of
one of the largest banks in Michigan, is
peculiarly well fitted to handle the finances
of the State. AS the financial center of
Michigan, Detroit is also proper place for
the State treasurer to reside. The Repub
licans of Michigan are showing excellent
judgment in settling upon Joseph B.
Moore, of Detroit, for the position of State
treasurer. He is thoroughly qualified, and
will surely be elected.
The Saginaw CourierHerald says that
Hon. II. G. Horr is reclaming waste places
north of the city, making of what was once
q swamp, in connection with the old English
farm, which is now his property, garden.
During the week he has been running the
pillow through go acres of lowland. as pretty
soil as blue eyes ever rested upon, and in
doing so turned up 40 stakes that were once
used in q fish pond, indicating as plain as
pike staff that in the dim and mOuldy past
where now corn and beans do flourish, men
in boats padded in the vicinity and tished
with profit to themselves and the delight of
epicureans.
Detroit Tribune: The Republicans of
the south are all protectionists, and if they
could have free ballot and fair count they
would ratify at the polls the passage of the
tariff bill-provided it should pass-in way
that would greatly encourage and strengthen
the Republican party of the whole country.
But being denied protection for themselves
as citizens and voters, their approval of pro- |
lection to our labor and industries must be |
made manifest i'm manner less offensive to |
bourbon bulldoyers than by exercising their |
constitutional rights at the polls. 1t isn't |
even safe for them TO make public speeches, !
let alone the voting.
Hastings Banner: M. ii. Walker, of |
Grand Rapids, one of the leaders of the pro- |
hibltion party of this state, i'm recent inter- |
view, states that he is thoroughly disguised |
with the dsgraceful attempt of his party at |
Lansing to fuse with anything and every |
thing in sight. He says he has always adj |
mired the prohibition party for its straight |
out course in the past, soliciting as it did |
the votes of the electors upon its own dis
tinctive principles. But this year, in the |
hope OF fusing with somebody, it has truck
led TO every kind of ism" in existence, and |
thereby forfeited the respect of those who
had been prohibitionists from principle
And that which was to have been expected |
from this trucking course has happened
the effort to fuse was q failure So the |
party according to Mr.. Walker, has gained
nothing and has lost the respect of its best
friends. Mr.. Walker states the matter with
great clearness and force.
We smile. Yes, our sides shake as we read
the Saginaw correspondence to the Detroit
Free Press and the editorials i'm our Demo-
cratic exchanges regarding the political sit
uation in the eighth congressional district.
We are told that the outlook is good for the
defeat of Col. Bliss; that he has made
appointments i'm many cases,
when called upon to appoint postmasters;
that he has appointed a Catholic to the POI
SiLiOU Oh CELSIUS tHuiutTdtOT anu UfldU the |
Protestants are i'm arms, that he has been
governed by cliques and factions in short
If their wiseacres are trustworthy, the Re-
publican party is torn with strife and is
engaged in that expensive luxury, a family
quarrel and that every Republican in the
district is entering heartily into the fight.
But why do we laugh? Why to see the
Democrats moving heaven and earth to find
some one to take the election. Everybody
-Tarsney, Weadock, Crosby Whitney
declines a nomination that is synonymous
with election. Such mOdesty is new to the
II is said by the Detroit dailes that the
patrons will make an effort to elect only
members of the order to the legislature, not
by making separate nominations but by sup
porting such nominees of the old parties as
are patrons. This Is undenably the true
policy. The patrons are today the con-
trolling element in Michigan politics; just as
the prOhibitiOnists were i'm 1880; had the
remained in the old parties,
they would have held the balance of power
and been really Omnpotent in state matters,
so far as temperance is concerned. Guided,
as we believe, by poor counselOrs, many
