WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING.
Rhode Island Sick Of the Pool Law.
New York Herald


Rhode Island has had enough OF leRaliz zed
pool selling after one seasons trial of the new
law, framed on the Ives plan. The law sup
posed TO be framed for The running races only
was found TO apply to the trottlng events at
all the fairs.
The murder of "Alonk" Saunders at Nara
gansett Park in June followed by that of
Joseph Ball this week, with the
numerous fights between the turfmen
and jockeys, and the repeated thefts
of diamonds, watches and other
personal property. and the intense public
desire TO rid the State of the presence of a
gang of thieves, plug uglies and gamblers, as
well as a horde OF flashy women, win all serve
the purpose OF wiping the pool law of the
statute books.

10 loosen our own money and unlock the
idle boards that are rusting every where.
Money will SON begin 10 flow more
freely, and will not be held SO timidly as
il has been for some time past. IL is not
likely that there will be any great boom,
but almost every line of business has
for two years been paralyzed because
money took fright and was not rislIed in
even the most conservative and iesiti-
mate channels If trade and industry,
The Republican victory has assured
stable tariff and fiscal conditions, barring
possible foolishness of the present Con-
gress during its short and expiring ses'
sion. The greatest reason for renewed
confidence in business is the fact that
the Democrats hands are tied, and the
country has SO emphatically repudiated
them.
The Democrats have held power quite
long enough TO conclusively demonstrate
chat they are incapable Of legislatlng,
and that they DO not comprehend the
initial principle of American business
progress. Foreign capitalists have OBJ
served this, and while they will applaud
Democratic laundering that opens
American markets To their merchants
and manufacturing countrymen, they
wisely refrain from risking their money
in business ventures in country thus
opened to the ravages Of unfair competi-
tion.
While from one point Of view new
issu, of government bonds must ever be
considered deplorable, it is plain that
just now such an event would materially
aid the freer movement of money, II
only in Offering a safe channel for a
small portion of the boarded cash in the
country. New bonds would lubricate
the wheels, as the great financial ma
chine is laboring to get into its normal
motion.
The whole situation, the whole hope
for the future, is expressed in one word
confidence. Business has confidence
in the policy of the Republican party.
1t knows what that policy is, and that
the Republican party will not depart
from it. IL never knew what the policy
of the Democrats was, but after guess
ing for a time discovered that that
party had no policy.
1t is like a deadly blight upon the
Democratic party that in its legislation
it never attempted to exemplify
its platform, and that legislation
affected is diametrically opposed to
legislation proposed and attempted.
No sane man with a dollar TO
invest wonld risk it in anything Demo-
Gratis could juggle with. Men acted on
this principle here and in Europe. They
now realize that such conservatism is no
longer necessary.
So the country begins to reap the re-
ward for its return TO sanity before all
the ballots that cast the Democrats ont
have been officially counted.
To emphasize what is here claimed
this little table shows the increase last
week of list of the prominent stocks.
Only four stocks showed a decline:

For Gov. Rich,

County conventions are now being held
daily in all parts of the state. AS predicted
by THE TINES the sentiment is almost
unanimously in favor Of the denomination
Of Gov. Rich.
Alpena county lead off on Saturday last
and elected delegation composed of such
men as Judge Kelley, Mayor Gilchrist, of
Alpena, Judge limerick, r. w. Fletcher
and others equally prominent who are en-
thusiastic for Rich. The Pingree people
were turned down and the delegation will
not only vote solldly for the denomination of
Gov. Rich but will do good work.
Muskegon county elected its delegates
Monday and the delegation, headed by
Louis Kanitz, Department Commander of
the G. A. r.. is solid for Gov. Rich. The
convention adopted ringing set of resolu-
lions. The plank relative to the governor
eommends the wise and patriotic admins
tratlon of Governor Rich and expresses the
conviction that If renominated he will have
Ut least $4,000 to $4,000 majority.

Governor Rich's appointee, Senator John
Patton Jr.. has done more for the city
of Owosso In one week than Bliss was able
to do in two years. Besides his absolute
failure to do anything for Owosso Bliss
cast the deciding vote in favor OF Grand
Rapids giving it the Soldiers Home, and
this after giving the people of Owosso to un.
derstand that he would stand by them.
Now, by ways peculiar, he Is attempting to
get the delegation to the state conven'
ton to vote for him for governor, but
we can assure him that most of the best
people in Shiawassee county are for the re-
nomination of Rich and his satisfaction If he
gets any of the delegates should be mighty
small.

A Word to Republican Soldiers.

From The Ionia Sentinel, Gen.J. II. 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, in aiding to turn him down. Gov.
Rich's only competitor four years ago, when
he sought the nomination in the state
convention, was James M. Turner, who was
no more of soldier than John L. 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 Y. Rich took the stump and proved
himself every inch man by the zeal with
which he espoused the cause OF Turner.
There was not sore spot on him and the
little finger of his loyalty to the republican
cause in Michigan was thicker than the olns
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 T. 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-
licans, to beat him out of the denomination
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

The county has been flooded with circu-
lars this week in the interest of Col. Bliss
candidacy for governor. That the mana
gers of his campaign are hard pressed for
press influence Is shown by the fact that the
circular contains clippings from several
papers which have spoken highly of Col.
Bliss, but are supporting Gov. Rich, for in
stance the Grand Rapids Herald, the Grand
Traverse Herald, the Marshall Statesman
Then such independent papers as the Graf
lot Herald and the Beyne City Citizen are
quoted from, while an article from the
Adrian Times wholly misrepresents the SEN
tnent of that paper and leads its editor to
say: IF the authors of the circular have
been no more honest with other papers, we
think they will be hoisted by their own
petard and will meet their just reward" 1
is one of the weakest campaign circulars we
have ever seen issued. As we have said
