should be convinced that 1t is the only way
to hold future caucuses. In the first ward
105 votes were cast, larger number thar
at any previous caucus held In the ward
and the same Is true In the second ward
where 9S votes were cast. If there had
been any contest at all for the election OF
delegates it is safe to say that double the
number of votes would have been polled.
The voter can go quietly to the polls, write
out his ticket and in five minutes be through
with the work that has formerly taken from
one to three hours in hot room with tobac-
co smoke and other disagreeable features
No ward bully can, under this system, lead
saloon mob to the polls and vote them as
he would drive flock of sheep, and no
contemplate scoundrel can, even by mis-
take, put in more than one ballot.
The winners have been named at Grand
Rapids, and as everyone expected and near
ly everyone hoped, it is headed by that ster-
ling Republican, John T.. Rich. That the
ticket is a good one everyone admits and
that it is winner no one doubts. Quincy
Herald.
The Republican state ticket placed in the
field is one that every Republican in the
state should support at the polls. Cover
nor Rich needs no introduction nor eulogy.
His excellent record in Office speaks for
itself and will win him handsome major
ity.-Kalamazo Telegraph.
The cleanliness and strength of the re-
publican state ticket is conceded by all. No
true republican can do other than praise it
and members of other parties can speak no
i'll of 1t. The ticket has the strength to face
close year and win, but this year, with
nearly every one looking to the republicans
for help out of the bad dilemma into which
the country has fallen, victory will be no
name for it.-Marshall Statesman.
From the New York World, the leading
democratic newspaper of the United States,
we take the following communications, that
of w. Burke Cochran and that of ex-speaker
Reed, the opinion of the brightest minds in
the United States In both of the principal
parties:
"The passage of the Senate bill by the
House is the most disgraceful chapter in
American history. The position heretofore
assumed by the House is conceded to be
right, even by the Senate, and is now sur
rendered to some person whose identity
even is concealed. There is no evidence
that the Senate would not have agreed upon

ing up the American Congress, but he de-
clined to do so. We have therefore surren-
dered to rumOr the source of which cannot
be traced. The walls of Jericho falling
before blast of wind yielded to a force
much more tangible than that which sent
the House of Representatives scurrying into
an AFFECT, cOwardly, self confessed betrayal
of the principles which they profess.

1T is useless to comment upoh the per-
Torrance in the House today. 1t fifty con-
cludes long and disreputable career. |
From Mr.. Wilson's lame opening to the |
speakers unfortunate and unjust allusion to |
Mr.. Cochran it was all of piece-a draggle |
In the DUST nauseOus swallowing, most
exhibition. The House dealt

10 ''perfdy and dishonor," as the president
says; and not only did it but dug down for
he chance. That parliamentary law was
violated is small affair, for it has not been
in this House; but that they should
proclaim with their voices that they were to
light trusts and monopolies and then go into
course of action which made trust shares
20 up four points the very day it was adopt
"a demands that severe reprobation which
should accompany false pretenses. AS for
he little bills rushed through, the subter-
uge is too transparent for even moments
consideration. 1t is pure humbug. They
'ass bill taxing sugar and coal-a real bill
and then pass dummies pretending to re-
zeal it, and all the same day.
