AID, Judge Morse said:
"My resignation 81 chief justice was
sent in today and viii take effect Octo-
Der 9. giving me one day OF the next
term. This Is necessary, As II would be
impossible to file opinions without the
presence Of the chief justice.
al see that my friend Rich estimates
republican majority of $1,000, and
he has been travelling around the
state considerably sna ought to
know. IL they have that many
majority we shall be decently buried.
Won't We Peter" turning 10 the Hon.
Peter Doran, who was standing near.
Peter assented and the Judge continued:
81 have made no estimate OF the thing
myself. / am in il for votes and | Will
be supremely satisfied If / get one
majorlty-that Is all | want.
Strong State Ticket.
81 think the state ticket is very
strong-ali but the head; don't you.
Peter" Peter again assented, but IN Il
moment saw has mistake and corrected
himself in "A graceful speech.
"As | said before" continued Judge
Morse, AZ am in il for the votes there
are in it, and if | get one more than
the other fellow | am satisfied. Do
YOU know. | never ran for an Office
yet with the expectation of getting il.
Still have had pretty good success,
don't you think so, Peter" Peter
thought yes, and the Jurst having re-
ceiyed tins moral aid went on. Now
| don't know anything about the way
the state Will go on the national ticket,
but | honestly believe that Mr. Cleve-
land will be elected. Ii will either go
10 Cleveland or 20 10 the house, aud
then he Will get II anyway, won't he,
Peter? OF course tins third party Is
creating quite rumpus, aud believe
they are confident of electlng their
whole ticket. Well see after election
though, won't we. Peter?" Peter was
confident that after the votes were
counted the result would be known.
The Hon. w. W. Mitchell of Ionia
appeared and said: "Say, do you peo-
pie know that THE is the first campaign
that have ever witnessed where there
has been so little yelling for the differ
ent candidates? Now, if Mr.. Blaine had
been nominated -"
alt can't lie" said Mr.. Morse, "that
you have been In my back yard early
IN the morning, because l always get
up early and give three cheers for the
ticket all by myself"
Effect of the Miner Law
CHOW will the Miner law affect the
situation, Mr.. Morse% asked the re-
porter.
"Well, | can't say as to that either
until after election, but il is my opin-
| ion that If the democrats are success
| ful it will hurt them and # the repub-
| leans are successful 1t Will hurt them,
| too"
There is no doubt of the constitution
atty of the measure and passed upon
| it with my associates, but | am not GER
tain as to the effect of It.
81 don't see what republican news
papers want 20 interview me for. Some
| of them have written me down in great
! shape. and ii doesn't seem to me that II
| is fair. No, | don't know how the
| democratic papers roast the other fel-
| lows and don't care; they haven't hurt
me yet, have they Peter? and haven'i
had my attention called to IT."
