gradually eating its way int, the new

A Trio Of Gem >.

For sterling integrity, unimpeachable charac-
ter, mastery ability and clearness of views fear
lessly expressed, few men are the equal of Hon.
orable Henry Melville Youmans of Saginaw
nominated for reelection to Congress by both
Democratic and Peoples parties of the Eighth
congressional district of this state AS faith
full and honest worker Mr.. Youmans has no su-
perior in Congress. His record during the first
half of his first term has reflected credit upon
himself and upon this district.-OwOsso Press.
The above is truly gen. the profuse use
of adjectiveS being something remarkable.
No one who knows Youmans ever accused
him of having even ordinary ability, let
alone mastery (?) ability, and as to clear
ness of views, he has not nor never did
have definite views on any subject. except
such as would advance the interests of Hen
ry NJ Youmans, as his attempts to straddle
both the Democratic and Peoples platform
attest. In the canyaSs two years ago he did
not have definite views upon the tariff or
silver question, but said that after he had
been down to Washington about two weeks
he would know as much as the best of them
about the subjects mentioned. Certainly he
is remarkable man that can learn as much
in two weeks as the best learned men of the
country have done after years of patient
toll, and Judging from some of his recent
speeches he will need to put in at least 1.-TWO
weeks" more to find out what articles are
taxed and those that are not.
Here is another gem from the same pa
per: ''He has battled manfully and effect
ually i'm debate" Even the ordinary layman
knows that Youmans can not nor never did
battle manfully in debate" and further that
he has not the ability to discuss any public
question intelligently.
Here is another gem and being rare one
should be carefully preserved:
''As business man the Eighth district
congressman has an excellent standing, and
as public servant has a Aawless record.
Comment is unnecessary as to his busi'
ness ability as the least said about it the
better for him; but as to his flawless record
it might be well to ask what he has done
for his district 1t true he has secured 9
clerkship for the man who is now secretary
of his congressional committee, but no one
has ever claimed that it was any great credit
TO him; he also secured place tor young
Osburn, an Owosso republican. Is it claim
ed that these things advance the interests Of
the Eighth congressional district, or does il
advance the personal interests of Henry
M. YOumans?-Sagnaw COurier-Herald.

Two Wings Of Dem ocraoy Fight.

The Thompson Youmans fight was on
before the Shiawassee board of election
commissioners at Corunna on Monday. The
facts in the case are well known to the pub
lie. At the peoples party congressional con-
vention lot Of democrats were run in as
delegates, Zone of whom was A. l.. Beard,
one of the election commissioners resulting
in split in the convention-the democratic
wing nominating III. M. Youmans and the
regular middle-of-the-road men Daniel
Thompson. The State committee of the
peoples party certified to the election COM
missioners that Thompson was their regular
nominee and that they did not want You
mans name placed in the column with their
nominees. The county convention, also
endorsed Thompson. Youmans was rep
resented before the commission by j. M.
Goodell, who insisted that Youmans name
be placed in the column with the peoples
party and Thompson at one side.
GOodell admitted however that he consid-
cred Thompson regularly nominated.
Thompson was represented by f. l.. Eaton
Jr., of Saginaw. The arguments lasted all
the forenoon, the facts in the case having
been thoroughly ventilated. Frank Savage
and Bert Spauldng, nominees of the peoples
party, protested against Youmans being plac-
ed on their ticket Mr.. Spaulding said he was
elected to go as delegate to the congress
siOnal convention but was never notified of
the date, that his place was filled by dem
ocrat and that the delegation was made up
in that way in the interest of Youmans.
The commissioners decided to print two
full peoples tickets placing each man on
ticket. To this decision the Youmans crowd
took exception and asked the Suprume
Court for mandamus to compel the board
to print but one ticket to contain Youmans
name. The mandamns was granted and is
returnable next Tuesday.
This shows what desperate straits democ-
racy is reduced to. Youmans and his p arty
are willing to do anything or catch at any
straw to gain vote. By the way, we might
say that Norman e. Payne, who wants the
peoples party vote for judge of probate is
one of the strongest advocates of Youmans.
How can any member of the party cast his
vote for man who unhesitatingly does all
he can to have the expressed wish of his
party disregarded. The members of his
party can and we believe will.teach Mr.. p.
lesson on election day by drawing a line
through his name on their ticket.
