The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1894-06-29


Evening News: If Owosso is anywhere as
nice town as THE Owosso TINES has
pictured it in an illustrated edition it is a
hummer.
All barber shops will be closed all day on
the 4th. but will be open until midnight, the

Ovid Register Union: Two weeks aso
THE OwossoTIMEs issued 20-page trade
edition, containing very interesting read
ing and fine illustrations. 1t was the most
handsome sheet ever issued in central Mich
igan.
Haying is we'll under way. The crop
will be light on old seedlings and heavy on

this.
Rev. Mrs. Anna l.. Robinson, pastor of
the Spiritual society of Port Huron, held
very successful meetings three evenings this
week for the society in this city. She was
obliged to cancel the balance of her meet
ings on account of i'll health.
Big Rapids Pioneer: The gentlemen who
are so strenuously opposing the candidacy
of Mr.. Rich this year have as yet given no
good reason why the governor should not
be renominated. 1t is admitted that he has
given the people clean, consistent and sat-
isfactory administration. What more could
be asked?
The following from The Lapeer Clarion
shows the sentiment of two of the prominent
citizens of Tuscola county: "Hon. f. s..
Wheat and G. c. Watson, of Tuscola coun-
ty, were in the city, Tuesday. They inform
The Clarion that that there are some anti
second-termers in that locality, but they
expect that Tuscola will send solid Rich
delegation all the same. They believe it
would be almost suicidal for the republican
party to do anything else"
Cadillac News and Express: If, on the
occasion of the recent gathering of lone
term" republicans at Detroit, when Chair
man Wesselius opened the meeting by ask
ing all to stand up who were opposed to a
second term for Governor Rich, he had
added, "but will all please remain seated
who have in the past favored second and
third terms for themselves" how many of
the patriotic reformers present would have
risen from their chairs?
Alma Record: The state political pot has
commenced to boil and the call for the re-
publican convention made July 31st at
Grand Rapids. On the part of some of
the prominent republicans of the state there
is move for one term rule and DISPOSE
ton to oppose John L. Rich, who, by their
own statement can say nothing only that
they think one term is enough 1t is well
to look to this and meet it squarely. 1t has
always been rule with the republicans to
give an efficient officer second term. If
John L. Rich is thrown overheard, what is
the position? What does it mean? 1t
means that the republicans do not approve
of his course in the amendment scandal,
which is not the fact, and raid will at once
be made (Which would be justifable) that as
soon as our executive has stamina enough
to protect the people and unearth rascalty,
we turn him down. Is this right? The
Record would be glad to support either
Pingree or Bliss at any other time as they
are both royal good men, brave, fearless,
and would make just as good governor, if
their time had come. For these reasons we
believe the nomination belongs to him not
only for the good of the republican party
but for the good of the people Of Michigan.
