The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1894-04-20

left undone by the republican editors of the
state to secure republican victory this fall.
The resolutions adopted by the convention
were sound and conservative and the topics
discussed of interest to the editors and the
party.
Mason News: The Republican Press AS
sociatiOn of Michigan met at Owosso April
IL and IL and held very profitable meet
ing. Lines of work were discussed and de-
cided upon. The prominent feature of the
meeting was the cordial and enthusiastic
reception given the newspaper men by the
people of Owosso. That busy, prosperous
and progressive city extended its hand and
heart right royalty and all were made to
feel at home. The banquet given by the
republicans of the city on Thursday evening
would have done credit to a metropolis. 1t
was sumptuous spread, and the services
rendered at the table by the ladies of the
city was delightfully."- competent. Some of
the most prominent among Michigan speak
ers responded.
Benton Harbor Palladium: The editor
Of the Palladium had the pleasure of at
tending an interesting session of the repub-
lican newspaper association of Michigan,
held in the beautiful city of Owosso yester-
day, the convention being called to consider
various matters of interest to the associa-
tiOn, and completing before its adjournment
a brief but comprehensive platform of prin-
ciples which show the editors to be in SYM
pathy with the higher aims and confident
of the early restoration to national power of
the republican party. In the evening the
association was rendered delightful ban
quet by the public spirited citizens of Owos-
so, at which Gov. John L. Rich and others
made entertaining and inspiring addresses.
The republican party of Michigan is going
into the campaign this year splendidly
equipped for the victory that so surely
awaits it, and by no means the least inn
portant facter in securing that Just and
deserved triumph will be the republican
press of the state.
Fenton Independent: The republican
editors of Michigan held a two-days' busi-
ness session at OwossO this week and the
occasion was one of profit to all in attend
ance. The citizens of Owosso, as enter
tainers, are without peers, and the elaborate
banquet rendered the republican editors at
the Armory Thursday evening, was an
occasion that will not be soon forgotten by
the banqueters. The ladies of the Congre-
gational church had charge of the tables
and are deserving of much praise for the
way i'm which they handled their part of the
program. Stanley Parkill, of Owosso,
officiated as POSTMASTER, and presided very
happily. Toasts were responded to by w.
M. Fitzpatrick, of Owosso, Perry F. Powers,
of Cadillac, Gov John T. Rich, e. p. Allen,
of Ypsilanti, Washington Gardner, of AL
bion, Mark s. Brewer, of Pontiac, and
Judge Van Zile, of Detroit. The gentlemen
spoke very felicitously and succeeded in
convincing the editors present that they (the
editors) were probably the most influential
and esteemed people in the state of Mich
igan. The editors have already said more
than this of the speakers, so honors are
about even in the taffy line. The occasion,
however, was a feast of republicanism, and
one which can but have the effect of max
ing all participants more firm in their alleg-
ance to the grand old party. .l.,a.ss,,
