Mist FIGHT.

Charles +. Belknap Is the republican
nominee for congress for the Fifth dis
trlct of Michigan. His nomination was
made by the delegates regularly elected
10 represent the republicans of this dis
trlct and It Is the duty OF every repub-
lican To lend his active support TO
secure MS reelection TO the place he
now occupies.
Like all nominations 10 public othce
the nomination of Mr.. Belknap is not
wholly agreeable to many members Of
the party. To say that ne 10 the
unanimous choice of the republicans
OF tins district would De TO state an I'M
trctn. lie is the choice of the major
ity and IN the decision of that majority
the minority will cheerfully acquiesce.
the HERALD had no candidate. 1t
declared that It's candidate was the
candidate OF the convention. Ii urged
the nomination of strong man
and the convention has responded
by nominating man whom
Ii believed to DO the strongest.
There is but one thing for all repub-
licans to do. Personal disappointments,
II any exist, must be subordinated to
the good Of the party. The candidate
of the convention must have the loyal
support OF every republican to insure
hrs election.
Tt will not Do wise 10 underestimate
the strength of the opposition nor TO
overestimats the strength OF our can
didate. One year ago the peoples par
" pollsd 1891 votes for Mr.. Hutchins.
II these votes shall go in body to Mr..
Richardson this year II will require al
most superhumsn efforts TO get enough
votes from other sources TO offset them.
II will DO seen at a glance that TO elect
Mr.. Belknap every republican must
qusdrupls his efforts for Mr.. Belknap's
plurality last year was only 1882.
These facts are stated here in order
that enthusiasm may not lead to fatal
over-confidence. Mr.. Belknap can be
elected. but IN securing that result the
battle will be the hardest fought one
ever pitched IN this district.

ELEVENTH WARD REPUBLICANS
Listen to Strong and Able Address by
Alfred Wolcott.


The Eleventh Ward Republican club
met in Whites hall last evening.
There was a good attendance and those
present showed that they were inter-
ested in the work.
The meeting was called to order by
John Shelter, secretary, and John
Brummeler was called to the chair.
The following delegates were appointed
to attend the State League of Republi-
can clubs: Nicholas Weys, Charles Van
Anden and William Brummeler. The
club then listened to a short address by
Alfred Wolcott, who showed III a clear,
concise manner the actual difference
between the platforms of the republi-
cab and democratic parties. Mr.. VOL
colt spoke as follows:
81 am glad that this club, which was
organized so early in the campaign,
has kept up It's organization. The
work SO far has been largely Of this
kind. 1t is organized effectual work
which brings republicans together
shoulder to shoulder that counts in the
end. Some persons tell us that there
is no difference between the two old
parties. But there is a wide difference.
nclO 10 JuSb no lituSA ut1lClClltC ds
there is between right and wrong, be-
tween the good and the bad. In NOR
ais and religion there IS no middle
ground. The difference began back in
the time OF Hamilton and Jefferson on
the doctrine of state rights"
Mr.. Wolcott spoke of the freedom
with which the colored republicans of
this city were allowed to conduct their
meetings and to give free exercise to
their right of franchise. He then por-
traved the condition of the colored
men in the south where the democratic
party IS in power. He took up the
platform of the two parties in regard
to the tariff question, holding them
side by side and proving by facts that
there was not doubt but the McKin-
ley bill had benefited the working
man. In conclusion Mr.. Wolcott said
'Let us then work in decided far
seeing manner for the good of our
party, for the party which Is for the
right and should be successful If we
wish right to prevail. Let 1t be decided
IN the homes of the 100000 republl-
cans OF this country by reading and by
careful thought

THREE BARNS BURNED.
All of the Fires are Supposed to Be Of
LEGENDARY Origin.

All of the Fires are Supposed to Be of
Incendiary Origin.
There seems to be gang of barn
burners lnfesting the city at the pres
ent time, as there were three barns
burned yesterday. The origin of the
fires are supposed to be incendiary.
The first alarm vas turned in at 1915
and was caused by the burning of a
barn IN the rear of No. 1913 Clinton
street, which was owned and occupied
bv George Middleton, whose loss is
$500; the second, at 1880, was caused
by the burning of barn In the rear of
No. 81 Clinton street. This barn was
owned 10y John Creswell and occupied
by John Brstner. Loss about 500. The
third alarm was turned IN .at .5:i5,
and was caused by the burning of a
BRICK barn in the rear of n. -. Browns
residence, No. 90 Fountain street. A
quantity of hay, a cutter and two mar
nesses were destroyed and the barn
Quilted. Loss, $500; insured.

FOR THE LEGISLATURES.

Good nominations have been made
by the republican party fer state and
county officers and yesterday the con-
gressional ticket for this district was
filled. Candidates for state senator
and representatives are yet to be
named, when the list will be complete.
In looking for candidates for these
offices, the conventions will seek strong
men; men who are intelligent and who
Will worthlly represent their constitu-
ercies at Lansing, yet men who are, II
possible, stronger than their party and
who will draw votes by their person
atty. This is especially true IN the
city senatorial district, which is con-
fessedly democratic by 1900 or l 400
majority. The city of Grand Rapids
should elect a representative to the
state senate who is competent to pro-
tect and care for Its interests there
and man in whose hands such inter
ests may he safely trusted. The name
of the Hon. George e.. Steketee has
been suggested as q possible nominee
by the senatorial convention and THE
HERALD fully believes Mr.. Steketee
would answer these requirements, and
that be would be elected if it is possible
TO elect any republican. The name of
j. NJ. Jameson has also been men
toned. Either of these gentlemen will
be able to make it interesting for the
OpposltlOn.
Grand Rapids herald. [volume] (Grand Rapids, Mich.) 1892-1959, 1892-09-24

In the refusal to ominate the Hon.
Peter Doran for the senate the peoples
party deliberately slapped in the face
one of the best friends to labor that
the democrats had in the squawbuck
legislature. He may not possess the
required degree of hypocrisy to merit
the confidence of the peoples party,
but his record as friend to the work
ingman Is infinitely superior to that of
At ). White. who was later nominated
for representative in the legislature.
He has q warm heart and friendly
hand for the wage Garner.
