Michigan Republicans.

The following article from the Kalamazoo
Telegraph of last week is timely and sug-
gestive:
The reported meeting of few republi-
cans In Detroit on behalf of some nominee
for governor other than Gov. Rich, has ex-
cited no little comment among politicians.
If such meeting took place it was doubt
less the active manifestation of feeling of
dissatisfaction with some of Gov. Rich's Of
fetal acts, especially his appointments.
The Republican party of Michigan is,
owing to certain complications which took
place recently, i'm peculiar condition. The
conditions naturally are in favor of republic
can success; and without the interjection of
elements over which Gov. Rich had no con-
troll, his denomination and the victory of
the republican party of the state are assur-
ed. 1t Is therefore extremely unfortunate
that just at this time any ambitious politi-
clans tinctured with isms or dissatisfied with
appointments, should secretly conspire TO
turn down the present executive whose adj
ministration has been honest and fearless.
1t Is an unwritten law republicans of Mich
igan that every man is entitled to second
term unless there are extraordinary circum-
stances which prohibit such courtesy.
Therefore the republicans would make
serious mistake to depart from this rule
especially when such departure would in
volve the retirement Of an excellent execu-
tive.
The republicans of this part of the state
and their delegates to the state convention
will be almost unanimously In favor of Gov.
Rich's denomination. Any other course
would be unwise and condemnation of an
executive for doing his duty.
To the above the Allegan Journal, edited
by Don Henderson, adds:
In the language of the lamented Lincoln,
'It is no time to swap horses while crossing
q stream" We learn of no opposition to
Governor Rich's Dcmiation in Allegan
county.

which quote: Il have owned sheep for the
past twenty-five years. says Mr.. Rumsey,
and am able to know something of the cost
of raising wool. We, IN the central portion
of Michigan keep sheep on land worth
| from $50 to $50 an acre, and in order 10
make the business profitable we must have
adequate protection against Australia and
other countries where rental of cent an
acre is paid am paying-Mr. Rumsey is
| dealer as well as a grower-from to 10
cents pound for wool, all because of the
prospect that wool is to be admitted free of
duty. l know the democrats argue that
wool has gone down under the Mckinley
law. The reason Is that the price of wool
has declined the world over.
''Still two years ago / bought wool from
the farmers of Michigan for from % to 2S
cents pound; one year ago from IL to 20

year, or nearly so, because of the almost
certainty that before this years clip can be
sold it will have to compete with the worlds
supply. Free wool will drive the sheep

1.-THE little village of Saline, Mich, beau
tiful for situation, is one of the headquarters
for breeders of stud flocks of merino sheep.
At Chicago and at the Michigan state and
local fairs the Saline sheep have won large
share of the prizes; and the names of the
Shaws, the Hoyts, the Smiths, the Woods,
of the Cnttendens and of Parsons are
known wherever in this country merino
sheep are raised, and several of these breed
ers have trade In Australia.
''Prior to the election of 1892 sheep for
breeding were selling for from $40 to $40
head, with occasionally much higher
price for exceptions! stock. The tariff agi-
tation and the settled conviction that wool
was likely to 60 on the free list has ruined
sheep raising business.

give up to his son the business at which he
had been so successful. He had a flock
that cost him on an average $40 head. 1t
had been carefully culled every year and
represented half a century of the most skill
full breeding, each individual being type

good flock and one large enough to stock
the place, the elder Mr.. Wood offered his
sheep at auction, but could not get bid on
them.

''Then failing to sell them at a private
sale the owner resolved to fatten them and
sell them for mutton, this he did and last

DEAR SIR:
***On receipt of the marked article in
your paper, l took occasion to call at the
Post Office Department this morning and
urge an increase in postal facilities for your
city. did this on my own motion. The
Department with the statement of the BUSH
ness at hand decline to furnish an extra
carrier as they say the territory and popula-
ton served will not warrant it. TO get this
some unusual condition must be shown,
such as scattered population, billy territory
etc. | have made application for an extra
clerk but shall know more about this tomor-
row. In the meantime have full statement
prepared and sent to the Department show
ing the necessity for extra help and l will
gladly do what can.
Sincerely yours,
JOHN PATTON JR.
Thus is the space and influence of THE

Owosso and county papers are whining and
growing, fault finding and wasting their
valueless time and space in kicking at the
many things accomplished, in a great many
instances, through the aid of this paper.
Thus does Senator Patton show his quail
fication for the high Office to which he has
been appointed, This is, however, but the
beginning of the work which the Senator
has planned and we have no doubt that the
extra carrier will be supplied through his
efforts in short time.

The st. Johns Republican speaks out
plainly concerning the gubernatorial ques-
ton. The following from its issue of yes
terday is heartily endorsed by THE TINES:
Every day furnishes new evidence of
the determination of the republican party to
set its approval upon the manly and honest
course of Governor Rich by renominating
him. The only excuse offered by candidates
or others for any other course is that they
believe in one term for governor. Why?
Because they want the Office. What kind
of an appeal could be made for the support
of the ticket IL he was turned down after
the record he has made? The opposition
would properly charge that the republican
party in Michigan does not approve the
turning out and prosecution of officers who
were unmindful of their duties, IL not crimi-
nally guilty Of changing, or having guilty
knowledge of the changing of election re-
turns to raise their salaries against the will
of the people; that it Is not in favor of
stopping payment of excessive or dishonest
expense charges of state officers. No other
reason could be assigned. The republican
party is in position where it must either
renominate the governor or stultify itself
before the people of this state and the ma
ton. 1t will renOminate Mr.. Rich.

The figures on the recent congressional
election in Oregon tell better than anything
else just what the people of that common
wealth think of the mongrel Wilson bill
with its free lumber and wool clauses. In
1892 the republican candidate for represent
alive in its first district had plurality of
500; full returns from the recent election
give the republican nominee plurality of
9,Os7. In the second district two years ago
the republican nominee had plurality of
$3.50; this year it is $500. Certainly Oregon
has voted emphaticaly that it wants nothing
to do with the party that is alone responsible
for the great business depression and suffer-
ing which overspreads the country to day.
