TURNER GROWING.
Mr.. Rich's Prospects Not Very Brilliant
at Saginaw.

SAGINAW, Mich, Aug. 2.-Railroad
Commissioner John I. Rich was in the
city looking after his gubernatorlal
fences, which are badly torn down in
this locality. He was clo.eted with
Hon. K. G. Horr several hours, and
afterward met Hon. John s. Estabrook
and other leading lights of the Repub
hcan party.
1t is learned that Mr.. Rich had heard
in some manner that 4lr. Horr was 60
ing into the convention and present the
name of Hon. James NJ. Turner, and
as soon as Rich heard of this he has
tened here to investigate. Mr.. Horr
was asked about the matter last even
ing, and he said that he stated frankly
to Mr.. Rich that he had made no state
ment IN effect that he was to present
Turner's name in the State conven-
ton, but if he concluded that it was
best for the party TO nominate Mr..
Turner, he should do all that he could
In his humble way to accomplish that
result. 1t Is quite certain that If Mr..
Horr believes Rich is backed by the
Palmer or the admlstratIon Idtluence,
as has been reported, he will not lie
awake nights TO secure his nomination.
The boom for "urner seems to be grow
ing, and, while the Republicans from
this county are likely to send an unn-
structed delegation, except for ". ;.
Linton, of tins city, for Lieutenant
Governor, it's dollars TO apples that
Turner will have the solid support of
the Saginaw delegation in the cOnven-
ton. The surface indications are tina I
Mr. Rich shook the dust of Saginaw
from his brogans with something like
flea in the ear. so far rs known Mr..
Linton who aspires to denomination of
Lieutenant Governor, has entered into
no combinations, but Is working his lit
tie boom for all il is worth. and unless
the Patrons of Industry are pretty
strongly recognized in making up the
ticket, LintOn's friends think he has a
tighUIng chance.

Of the death OF Zenas G. Winsor at

finally retired from business, five OF SIX
years ago, although not a rich man

with a comfortable competency. No
man ia the Grand River Valley was
better known 10 the older gen

1t is only about year ago that Mr..

A Washington dispatch of Novem-
Der 29th says Chairman Warner and
Secretary Crandall OF the Nationl Elk
ecutive Silver Committee have issued
call for meeting of the committee,
to take place in Washington on the
10th of December. The committee
are confident that under ordinarily
favorable circumstances a bill for the
free and unlimited coinage of silver
can be passed by Congress at the
present session, and they will bend
all their energies to accomplish this
result. They have already issued a
pamphlet, showing the work of the
committee in detail, aud also analyz-
ing every step in the late fight for
the recognition of silver. All the
votes upon the question are recorded
and the names of all the Senators and
Representatives placed in cold type
for the benefit of their constituents.
Chairman Warner says that the feel
ing for the immediate passage of u
free coinage bill is overwhelming, and
that he Is unable to see how Congress
can withstand the pressure, which
comes from every section of the
country. He looks upon the decline
of silver as a natural result of peculiar
economic conditions, which are adj
justing themselves, but feels that
parity between the metals cannot he
secured until full recognition is given
to silver as . money metal, and not
as a mark etable commodity only.
Senator Jones is expected here to-
morrow and Senator Stewart will be
on hand at the opening ofthe session.
Senator Teller has recovered his
health and will join tho silver forces
AZ an early day in another vigorous
campaign for the recognition of silver.

Dividing Up Africa

The fate of the native tribes OF AT
RIGA will be- tho same as has overtak-
en- The Indian tribes of The continent
of North America. Africa is now
being divided up among the nations
of Europe as this continent was when
il was first discovered. Already the
nations of Europe have taken as their
own all the territory that is worth
taking. Africa, with all its islands,
foots up II 900, 900 square miles. OF
this, 1850, 405 square miles is nov
taken. Egypt and the independent
African States cover 100000 square
miles, leaving 100000 square miles
that might be seized were it worth
grabbing. Now that the scramble for
territory is bout over, it is to be hoped
that those who have gobbled up the
country will turn their attention to its
improvement and to the anelioration
of the native inhabitants.
France heads the list of land grab
bers. Her claim covers 1890, 24S
square miles; Great Britain is next,
with l,909,455 square miles; Ger
many, 1,O35, 72O square miles; Congo
Free States, 100000; Spain, 21O 900;
Portugal, 774 1893, and Italy 100000.
IL remains to be seen whether i'm
provements will be next in order, or
a fight among these Powers for terri
tory still coveted by some among
them. The latter appears most prob
able.
