Democrat schemes and trickery are re-
ceiving their reward in assertions from the
party by hundreds and thousands in Michi-
gan and in every Northern and several of
the Southern states. but the worst and most
significant blow is that announced by the
Catholic democrats of Saginaw who will by
hundreds vote for Hon. w. S. Linton, the
republican candidate for congress in this
district, and for large number of other re-
publican candidates. The attempt by Fisher
to get the A. p. A. vote secretly, while
openly in democratic counsel condemning the
order shows to the true Catholic and to the
A. p. A. man that he is simply political
rickster who is unworthy of the confidence
Of either set of voters. The best Catho-
lie church members will vote for w. s. Lin
ton who openly states his position.
Two cargoes, $4,000 bushels, of beans
have been received in New York this week
from Germany. These are two of the heav-

The above item was handed The Repub-

week. and has significance here as well as
in New York, for the bean crop is one of

from New York hay dealer. In substance
it said that since the reduction of 80 per
ton in the duty on hay, Canadians were de-
livering it in New York at S11 per ton, and
that dealers here ought not to pay over s.
for loose hay. The freight rate to New
York is $3.50 per ton. 1t costs dollar or
more per ton to bale it, and something to
load. In both these cases, as well as many

The Press last week printed an article
taken from the Lansing Journal stating that
Secretary Washington Gardner had spent
several hundred dollars fitting up his office
at Lansing since his appointment. The
State Republican gives the facts in the case
in the following article. Will the Press be
honest enough to give its readers the truth
about the matter? The Republican says:
Some weeks ago there appeared in the Lam
sing Journal an article detailing the extrav-
agance displayed in fitting the private Office
Of the secretary of state, and leaving an
open inference that Secretary of State Gard
ner had been building for himself in the
capitol a gilded boudoir. The article was
most contemptibly small and absurd, and
the writer so well knew that it was false,
that 1t was simply ignored, under a belief
that the good sense of the people at large
would lead them to do the same. But it
seems that no decent person can ever sound
the depths of democratic indecency, even
in imagination, for the Republican notices
that this dirty fling at Mr.. Gardner is doing
duty as democratic campaign material and
being copied into democratic country week.
lies Of the state.
IL seems almost humilating to be obliged
to state to intelligent people that there is not
a word of truth in that story of extraya-
gance so far as Secretary Gardner is con-
cemed. He has not bought any costly cur
tains. nor furniture, nor anything else, to be
used in his Office, with the exception Of one
very plain and substantial desk chair, there
being no chair for his use when he entered
