TWO EXCELLENT REASONS.
Why You should Vote the Democratic
Legislative Ticket.

Two reasons should induce democrats
to stand firmly by their nominees on
the legislative ticket, namely: The ex-
travagant expenditures of the last re-
publican legislature, which appropri-
ated nearly half million dollars more
than the democratic legislature of 1891,
and the fact that two United States
senators are to be elected. The demo
cratic party has boldly named it's can
didates, but the republicans have put
the offices up to the highest bidders
those who will pay the most into the
campaign fund to be used in electing a
republican legislature. 1t has been
the practice for years for the candi-
dates for the United States senate to
pay the expenses Of the candidates for
the legislature, in consideration of
their vote in the legislative caucus,
and as there are four republican as
pirants, the bidding is likely to be live
ly. The second reason is that the
nominees of the democratic party are
the most capable and trustworthy men
before the public: worthy the support
of all citizens.-Bay City Times.

HAIL TO THE CHIEF.
Here's Something Every Michigan Voter,
Irrespective of Party, Should Read.

Here's Something Every Michigan Votor,
Irrespective of Party, should Read.
Sometimes democrats stray away
from the fold and lose sight of the car
dinal principles which entitle them to
fellowship with the party of the peo-
pie and the significant appellation of
democrat. The Enquirer likes to make
mention of instances where the name
of democrat is most appropriately APP
piled. For example-Spencer o. Fisher,
the democratic candidate for governor
of Michigan, has declared himself
against national bank currency and for
the government issue of all currency,
the immediate recognition of silver
and its free coinage, without consult
ing the wishes of European or other
foreign governments. He undoubtedly
voices the sentiments of four-fifths of
elect him governor if freed from party
shackles and allowed to express their
opinion at the ballot box.
1t is source of great satisfaction to
know that a candidate for governor has
the courage, independence and manli-
ness to establish his right to be called
a true democrat by proclaiming such
principles. 1t is not legitimate func-
ton of banking to issue currency.
Whatever is issued as money or cur
rency should be supplied by the gov
eminent. Silver has been for thou
sands of years the favorite money of
the people. 1t is to-day the only money
known to a thousand millions Of the
human family. The democratic party
is the party of the people. If the intel
ligent people of Michigan would elect
Mr.. Fisher governor there would be at
least one democratic governor in the
United States. The trend of public
opinion is in the direction briefly out
lined by this candidate for guberna-
torial honors. The money power Is
still in authority, but people de-
termined to be free is stronger than
the gold worshipers and bankers COM
bined.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

Republican Claims Absurd.

Republican speakers throughout
the country, either through ignorance
or wilful Justification. make the claim
that for 30 years prior to 1892 the
country experienced uninterrupted
prosperity. and the New York World
takes the matter in hand without
gloves when it says:
The panic of 1873, under Republican
rule and after twelve years of high
tariff taxation, was the most disaster
Gus and the period of business de-
preston for five years thereafter was
the most severe of any in our history.
1t was officially estimated that 3,0O0,-
600 workingmen were out of employ.

Another Object Lesson.

The Ionid Standard contains the fol-
lowing object lesson on the effects of
free wool:
Some two months ago the late James
Whitaker, of Pewamo, was DESTROYS of
disposing of his large purchase of wool.
He invited bids, and the best offer
made him loser by some twelve hun
dred dollars.
About two weeks ago and after free
wool was a certainty Mr.. Ruel sold
Mr.. Whitaker's wool at the increased
market price and at a figure which
netted the latter a profit of eighteen
hundred dollars

of the same spirit that has made him
the conspicuous citizen he is in this
district. The first money he earned
was from peddling milk. Next he was
a porter in general store. His wages
were only five dollars a week, and at
the outset he determined that some
day he would see his own name on the
sign over the door. Circumstances
changed this determination and made
him a partner in another store before
he was twenty-five years of age, and it
was while conducting this store that
he made his first bold strike. A rail-
road line had been surveyed from Hills
dale to Ypsilanti, and bids for
building it were solicited. Young
Fisher saw chance to open up a
new line of trade for his store
Though he didn't have the remotest
idea of how to build railroad, he I'M
derbid the experienced contractors for
the first twenty-five miles out from
Hillsdale. The young contractor
adopted a system of paying wages in
part in orders on his own store. He
fulfilled his contract, which netted
him about $50, 000
This was capital enough for him to
engage in numbering, which he had
for some time been ambitious to do,
and at twenty-six he came into the
Bay district, took up tract of pine
some eight miles east of Bay City and
built small sawmill at what came to
be known as Baskerville. There was
no way to get his lumber To market
except with teams, and many load
he himself brought over the rough
road TO Bay City with oxen. Those
were days when the lumber industry
was flourishing, and it wasn't many
years before Mr. Fisher came to be
numbered among the leading operators
of the region.
Mr.. Fisher at Home.
Mr.. Fishers home, Elm Place, on the
west side of West Bay City, Is familiar
To delegates of the State Press associa-
ton, as well as to the delegates that
have attended conventions of every
kind of state organizations that have
been held in Bay City for some years
past. Just before he built IL he said he
was half-inclined to move to Detroit,
but the Bay district was where his in
terests lay. 1t had always been loyal
To him, and there, in his expressive
words, he decided to drive his stakes
and remain. During all state gather
ings at Bay City the house is open for
an informal reception to the delegates,
and the townspeople will tell you that
whenever there is a reception at the
Fisher home you don't have TO remain
away because you can't afford to wear
a dress suit.

Mckinley in Michigan.

Mckinley is smooth and oily-as
greasy as glycerine. He can mourn in
the most touching manner and there
fore he devoted much space to his ex-
hibit of grief. He presented his pro-
tectionist argument in it's best light.
His conclusions were based upon false
premises, yet one was compelled to adj
mire the astuteness with which he con-
cealed the weak points in defense of his
hobby, and the show of sincerity he
made in lauding the exploded theories
of Neutrality-suspicious. Patriot.

From 1891 to 1886, under two Re

there have been more pieces of cedar

%, this year, than for any previous
year, and when the important fact is
taken into consideration that there are
more than a million pieces now in the

HON. SPENCER O. FISHER.
A Glimpse at His Home and Bust
ness Life.
The Democratic Banner Bearer Is .
Shrewd and Straightforward Business
Man and Model Husband and Fa-
ther-A Clean Man Throughout.

s. o. Fisher is one of those men that
people in the community where they
live speak of to strangers with a sort
of conscious pride. They like to call
attention to them, not as successful
politicians or philanthropists, or as
financial geniuses or anything of that
kind, but simply as men who inspire a
good deal of life into a town and make
the town in way more important be-
cause they live in it.
In the twenty-five years that Mr..
Fisher has lived in the Bay district he
has become wealthy. One thing that
the people like him particularly for is
that wealth has not created spirit of
exclusiveness in him, or fostered an at
mosphere of snobbishness. To them
he is just the same as when, early in
the '70's, he used To drive his own OK
team to get his lumber from the back
woods into the market.

Catholic Irishman.
At the battle of Cerro Gordo he was
shot through the body with an ounce
ball of the heavy muskets of those
days, and a silk handkerchief was
drawn through his lungs from breast
to back to clear the fearful wound that
was thought mortal, but he survived it
with CHASTITY scar that testified to his
courage, loyalty and patriotism.
He returned to Illinois and became
active in politics on the democratic side.
In the midst of the Accommodating ex-
element when Catholics, and par
ticularly Catholic Irish, were being
prescribed, Shields came before the
people for election to the United States
senate, and in answer TO the bigotry
that disputed his claim for high Office
because of his religion, he would bare
his Scared breast to his audiences as
proof that he was an American who
loved his country and its flags as dearly
as life itself and that his life blood was
drained almost to it's last drop at Cerro
