Eleven years ago the fifteenth of last
October Mr.. ~ w. Wright threw
open the doors for the accommodation of
the public of this now famous hOstelery
and its fame has gradually extended
over the length and breadth of these
United States
When it was opened it was long dis
lance ahead Of almost anything in this
section Of the country and although
the building of the Wright House was
precedent and has forced a general
advancement and Improvement in no.
tel properties, especially in this State,
it still maintains its position and
has few, if any superiors. Doubtless
this has been maintained because no ex.
pense is ever spared in incorporating
Improvements and the utmost liberali-
ty is exercised in its management.
In April, 1888, the Hotel became the
property Of j Ii. Il s II. Lancashire
and they approaching the high stand
ard maintained and reputation earned
have eXerted every effort to keep the
house in equally as good form with
the travelling public. Judging from
the usual comments in this they are
succeeding.
one of The first Improvements made
by them was the reconstruction of the
plumbing of the entire house, putting
in the newest and best water Closets
aud porcelain bath tubs. While the
old work was as liue as could be pun
chased ten years ago it is not to be
impaired with the plumbing supplies of
to-day. This fall more improvements
have been made. The paIlors and
many of the guests rooms have been
handsomely decorated, newly carpeted
and furnished. The painting and dec
Grating was done by the VIM. Wright
Co. Detroit,
No part of this elegant establishment
is allowed to run down or get rusty in
any respect on the contrary every de-
partment is kept up and to day looks
and really is in as perfect condition as
/ the day 1t was opened.
Never in the history of the house has
/ its cuisine been under more capable or
experienced management than at pres
ent. Mr. b. f. Welty who has been
the manager for over a year is compe-
tent in every particular and is giving
universal satisfaction. Every citizen
Of Alma should be proud of the Wright
| House, it has done as much if not more
to further our interests than any other
one enterprise and We wish for il the
success financially it SO Justly deserves

Much may be said Of the personal
qualifications of all who are aspiring
for the United States senate and it
is safe in saying that Michigan will
be well represented in any event.
All this being beyond dispute let
every loyal citizen take the business
view of the existing circumstances
and say: "Michigan with all her
varied interests first, and choice be-
tween our personal favorites a
secondary consideration" Two sena-
tors, Mcmillan and Patton, and the
Leadership of the House of Repre-
sentatives," Julius Caesar Burrows,
is none too much for our Michigan.

The United States senatorial con
test will soon be on, and as usual
the republicans have their usual

Why should he not be honored with
a re appointment? Is it not and al
ways has been the policy of the re-
publicans to show this courtesy to
an efficient man? We see no reason
why the change should come now.

Atty General Fred A. Maynard

Atty General Fred A. Maynard
has the following to say of John
Patton: He Is a strong man both
intellectually and physically, and IN
his prime. lie has all his life been
interested in political questions and
affairs Of state. He has a thorough
knowledge of public questions and
an intimate personal experience with
many meu occupying high place in
the affairs Of the nation. lie is a
cultured gentleman, with thorough
education acquired at Yale and in
study and travel. He is clean,
high-minded gentleman, with con-
victions on all public questions, and
with the courage to stand by them
on all occasions. In short, he Is cut
out for the work he is now engaged
in in the senate. ! think bis chances
for election are steadily improving,
and that more and more, as those
charged with the duty of selecting .
senator shall examine Mr.. Patton's
character and eminent fitness will
