Muskegon Monday night by the an
nouncement that James O'Hara, Dem
ocratic candidate for attorney general,
| had wired the state central committee
condtionally Withdrawing his name.

name should not be found on the ticket
headed by such a man.
"The White House" is the name Mr..
BroughtOn has given his new store, and
1T is deserving of the best name that
could be given ii, for it's beauty. The
crockery, glassware and groceries are
left in the old store To be sold at any
price they will bring-the cost cuts no
figure in the transaction. And these
goods are first-class in every respect,
but he has no room for them in the
"white house." which is rapidly filling
up with the new fall stock
The three young men charged with
breaking into the Michigan Central de-
pot at South Haven about a month ago
and stealing mileage books, had their
examination at that place Tuesday and
were held To the circuit court in $500
each. Sam Garland, who was arrested
at Lansing while trying to dispose of
the tickets, squealed on the whole busi
ness. Heel, who kept watch outside
while Garland did the work, got few
postage stamps, while Stewart, who
drove the other boys to the depot with
his buggy and then went home, seems
to have occupied ii sort of old dog Tray
position in the transaction-got moth
ing, probably knew nothing of what
was going forward, but he was in bad
company and will suffer, temporarily,
for it.
With great blare of trumpets, and
claiming to be absolutely sure of mop
ping the earth with the Paw Paw VOL
verines, the Gobleville base ball team,
recruited and strengthened by all the
"talent" within its reach, came over to
this place Tuesday to play return
game and take into camp the $50 de-
posted to the credit of the winners.
And in the cleaning of that sombre
October evening the valiant Goblevil-
lains, minus the $50, minus the S1S2.50
gate receipts, minus the conceit that
they could mop anything or anybody
little bit. wrapped their little blankets
about them and noiselessly meandered
back to their constituents, pondering,
presumably, on the way what sort of
yarn to tell that portion of their admir-
ers who were not eyewitness of their
terrible drubbing. IL to 2.
In an editorial article on the 4th page
of this issue, reference is made to re-
cent ruling of the Secretary of the In
terror adverse to the interest of certain
homesteaders in the upper peninsula.
A Grand Rapids telegram to the Detroit
Tribune, dated the 10th inst, says that
Willard Kingsley, special counsel for
the government in the cases referred
to, points out errors in the secretary's
ruling, in which it was held that the
homesteaders had no rights He says
that Secretary Smith based his ruling
on the certificate of withdrawal issued
by the government before any of the
lands were earned, not on q final pat
ent, which was never issued. If Kings
ley is right, the ruling of Secretary
Smith will be reversed, and the home
steaders will retain the property which
they claim as against the Michigan Iron
IL Land Company.
Hon. Milton + Jordan, nominee on
the Democratic ticket for lieutenant
governor, and late chairman of the
Barry County Democratic committee,
has severed his connection with the
party, withdrawn from the ticket, and
will hereafter work with the Republi
cans. Mr.. Jordan is one of the most
prominent men in this section of the
state, and of large influence in his
locality. In regard to this withdrawal
Gen. VIM. Shakespeare, recognized
Democratic leader in Kalamazoo said
in an interview with the Daily NeUs of
that city: mo Democrat can remain
and retain his self respect in any posi-
tion that would give countenance to
the present disreputable adminstra-
ton If the Democratic leaders had
gone to work deliberately to destroy
the party, do not believe they could
have been more successful than the
present administration has. 1t has re-
pudiated nearly every plank in the
Chicago platform, and the head of the
administration has insulted nearly all
the leaders of the party" Verify, the
party of the great unwashed is in sore
straits.
