Washtenaw Times is authority for the state
ment that two years ago Mayor Pingree's
henchmen went into the various counties of
the state with plethoric purses to influence
the election of delegates to the state conven-

Saturdays Chicago Inter Ocean contained
the following which will be of interest to Mr..

yesterday Mr.. II. II. Gliddeh, for several
years resident secretary in this city of the
North British and Mercantile Insurance
Company, was elected superintendent or
manager of the organization, as the Occu-
pant OF the position will probably be styled.
This action on the part of the association

fraternity much concern, placing in author

affairs and of recognized executive ability.
One of the few cities in the country In

last spring was st. Paul The Owosso Press

The following dispatch under date of July
IA tells different story: The st. Paul mu-
nicipal deadlock, which has tied up the
finances of the city for over six weeks, was
ended today by the supreme court, COM
posed of three democrats and two republi-
cans, which decided that the city charter
provision under which six democrats out of
nine assemblymen were elected is unconsti-
tutiOnal. The court awards five seats to
the republicans and four to the democrats.
Judge Mitchell (dem.) wrote the decision.
The decision is in effect that all of the acts
of the democratic assembly since its organi-
zation early In July, are illegal, including
the passing of pay rolls and the confirmation
of hundreds of the appointments of Mayor
Smith. The republicans are jubilant be-
cause they can now block Objectionable
appointments and prevent the democrats
from putting through shady financial meas
ures. The last council declared the Repub.
lican majority elected, but the city clerk,
democrat i'm calling the roll at the first
meeting called the names of a majority Of
democrats, who organized the body. The
republicans took the matter into the courts
with the above result.

The Lansing correspondent of the Detroit
Evening News discusses the gubernatorial
situation in long letter Monday. After
showing what the Pingree people are doing
he says:
''This little play leads up to the express
sive, IL not altogether elegant, remark that
II Col. Bliss does not know that the one
term aggregation Is playing him for suck
er, the meanwhile pulling his leg, he will be
fully aware of this fact by the time the state
convention is held at Grand Rapids. The
one term club, as every one in Lansing,
where its operation can best be observed,
can readily see, Is Plngree club pure and
simple. While 1t Is in sense anything to
beat Rich with Its officers, yet Pingree Is
getting the long end of the deal, Bliss being
permitted to gather up such crumbs as drop
from his honor's table. This is amply
shown by the fact that President Turner
and all his local followers are working in
the local field for Pingree delegates, while
Bliss is being worked for what delegates he
may be able to capture and deliver to Pin
gree as second choice.
SO far as the one term club is concerned,
the Saginaw candidate is, although he may
not realize it, permitted to do his own hust.
ling. In parceling out the counties between
Pingree and Bliss, it has been observed
that the former has been assigned such
counties as give promise of electing anti
Rich delegations, while the colonel is per-
mitted to do his hustling for the most part
In counties where Rich is as solid as rock
Shiawassee and Saginaw are the only ex-
ceptions to this rule"

Going about the county denouncing Gov.

make an expense to the county, holding
meetings and calling Gov. Rich ian old
fool" saying that 1--WE don't want any more
farmers for governors, for we have found
out other folks are smarter than farmers" is
considered legitimate by the one-termers.
Yet when their actions are criticised it is
''mud-throwing," and calls forth columns of
abuse. THE TIMES considers that it has
been very mild in its criticisms of this kind
of political warfare, and could easily have
said much more.

A Word to Rep lblican Soldiers.


From The Ionia Sentinel Gen.J H. Kidd, editor
Coming to the question of nominating a
soldier for governor it does not appear that
the veterans of the state have any special
cause of grievance against Gov. Rich, GER
tainly nothing which could justify them, as
soldiers, i'm aiding to turn him down. Gov.
Rich's only competitor four years ago. when
he sought the nomination i'm the state
convention, was James M. Turner, who was
no more of a soldier than John Il. Rich.
There was no soldier candidate when Mr..
Turner was nominated. That he was not
elected was in no way the fault of the man
who was defeated by him In the convention.
John 7. Rich took the stump and proved
himself every inch man by the zeal with
which he espoused the cause of Turner.
There was not a sore spot on him and the
little finger of his loyalty to the republican
cause i'm Michigan was thicker than the loins
of some of the men who are now masquera-
ding in the soldiers skin and roaring for the
single term-"a good enough Morgan till
after the convention"
But as to John L. Rich and the soldiers.
If Mayor Pingree or Col. Bliss had been
elected governor in 1892, would not the SOL
diers, including the two excellent gentle
men named, resent an attempt on the part
| of the farmers, or any other class of repub-
lcans, to beat him out of the re- nomination
to which he would have been entitled by the
usage of the party, never violated, except in
the case of Governor Wisner in 1860, who
had been unfortunate enough to be charged
with lack Of zeal in prosecuting dishonest
state official-John Mckinney, the default
| ing state treasurey.
Gev. Rich is not open to that charge.
| Quite the reverse.
Though not soldier himself Gov. Rich
has not been slow to recognize the veterans
| in the matter of state appointments. The
| following have been hOnored by him:
Washington Gardner, appointed secretary
of state; G. l.. Eaton, adjutant general;
Geo. M. Devlin, quartermaster general;
John NorthwoOd, member OF the soldiers
home board; Henry s. Dean, regent of the
university; Louis Kanitz, member of the
lOnia prison board; G. III. Morse, commits
sisner of labor; G. K. Storrer, food and dairy
commissioner; Geo. Spaulding, member
board of control girls industrial home;
VIM. Hartsuff, member municipal commits
sion; G. S. Brown, member board Of man.

OF these there are included the present
department commander of the Grand Army

NorthwOOd, Gardner, Dean and Eaton. Be

In subordinate positions and more will be

The proper thing to do is to re-nominate
