From the Detroit Evening News.
Lansing, Mich, July 14.-The Rich con-
tlngent here are losing no sleep over the re-
suit of the county conventions thus far held.
Up to date conventions have been held in
Alpena, Arenac, Iron, MuskegOn, Mont
calm, Clinton, Chippewa and Schoolcraft
counties and i'm all total of sixty delegates
have been selected every one of whom is
claimed by the Rich forces as solid for their
man. They do not cOncede single one of
the sixty to either Pingree or Bliss.
A feature of the canvass thus far that is
especially pleasing to them is the fact that
the soldier racket of the opposition is not
stampeding anyone to an alarming extent.
AS an evidence of this they point to the fact
that the Muskegon delegation is headed by
Commander Kanitz of the Michigan &. A.
r., who is solid for Rich, and there are
plenty of soldiers on the other delegations.
Another feature which causes rejoicing
among the second termers is that Clinton
county, which is part of the eighth congress
sional district, in which Col. Bliss resides,
yesterday elected thirteen Rich delegates,
while Montcalm county which was in the
old eighth district, represented by Bliss in
congress, ground out fourteen delegates who
will vote for Rich to man. There was
some question about Arenac county, but 1t
has been learned that the convention passed
strong Rich resolutions. Notwithstanding
the claims of the opposition, the Rich BOOM
ers positively assert that every one of the
sixty delegates thus far elected is against
the zone term for governor and a soldier in

over the good start which eight solid count

The st. Johns Republican says: The can
didacy of Senator George A. Steel for state
reasurer is meeting with gratifying assur-
ances of support from all parts of Michigan.
His eminent fitness for the place is admitted
on all sides; his location near the state CAPT
tol is strong point in his favor, for the
treasurer being member of the board OF
state auditors, should be in position to
attend the meetings of the board on short
notice; and central Michigan is entitled to
something. all things being equal. The
first thing to he thought of in the case of a
candidate for Office is the character of the
man, and his ability to perform the duties
of the Office to which he aspires. The pub.
lie Is entitled to the best service obtainable
and no other rule should govern In the Sc
lection Of public servants. 1t is not too
much to say that Senator Steel meets all tn g
requirements of the case, his business
experience having been such as to warrant
the belief that he will make the very best
kipd Of state treasurer.

The Real Question at Issue iii Shiawassee
County.


We want the republican electors OF
OwOssO to understand just what the siiua-
ton Is i'm the present contest for control of
the coming county convention and the re-
spOnsibly that rests upon them In deciding
what influences shall control the policy of
the party In this county for the coming two
years. The candidacy of Col. Bliss has
has already been settled. However good
and able man he may be, he will not have
one hundred of the nearly one thousand
votes in the state convention and cannot
possibly he nominated. Even LOring and
Chapman admit this and both these persons
have stated that Gov. Rich would be renOm-
mated. Why then is the struggle continued
and the effort being made to place Shiawas-
see county again in the minority? Simply
to gain control of the county convention and
through that of the county committee to be
elected. The question for OwOssO republic
cans to decide (for OwossO delegates will
hold the balance of power in The cOnventiOn)
is simply this-DO you want Geo. w. LOring
and Odell Chapman to stand at the head of
Shiawassee county republicanism. DO you
think that they properly represent the re-
publicans of this county and do you care
to intrust to them the management of
the party campaign funds in the coming
struggle.
If you are candidate for any Office or
have friend who expects to be, do you
want either of these persons to have the
management and distribution of the party's
sinews of war?
That is the whole thing in a nutshell. If
you, republicans of Owosso, wish to endorse
that kind of management and want to set
up Loring as the standard of republican
purity and honesty and good management
for Shiawassee county--if you want these
men to attend state and district conventions
asserting that they are the head and front of
republicanism i'm Shiawassee and OwOssO
then attend the caucuses and vote for them
as delegates, for as OwOssO goes In this con-
ventiOn so goes the county. If OH the con-
trary you think that the republicanism of
Shiawassee county and OwOsso is worthy of
different representation, then make 1t your
duty to attend and vote for delegates who
are not under the control of or in sympathy
with these men.

Cass County is for Rich.

Cassopolis Vigilant:
Careful and extended inquiry throughout
the county shows gratifying unanimity on
the denomination of "Honest John" for gov
ernOr. Our people are conservative and
cool thinking-nOt easily disturbed nor dis
tracted by the beating of the one-term TOM
toms by three-term mayor or two term
congressman and a schemer whose ambition
for One-term gOvernOrship ended i'm the
only complete overthrow which the party
has suffered In forty years. They respect
John Il. Rich not only for his executive and
administrative ability and strict personal in
tegrity, but also for that stalwart courage
which carries him beyond mere partisan
considering to do the right, as he sees 1t,
and fulfil The obligations of his oath of Office
though the heavens fall, and they support
his denomination not only on his merits, but
also because any other action would seem
bad politics, and woald place the the party
on the defensive from the close of the con-
ventiOn.

The Milwaukee Sentinel is authority
for the following:
"Mons Anderson of La Crosse is one
of those Democrats who has the courage
of his convictions. He has put himself
on record squarely and openly that he
is done with the Democratic party fol-
good. Mr.. Anderson is one of the
leading merchants and business men OF
La Crosse. He enjoys the universal
esteem of his fellow citizens and is
known to be d man Of set ideas and
convictions, never afraid to utter them.
He is a Norwegian by birth and has
spent over forty years in La Crosse.
The Norwegian population of the whole
western and northwestern part of the
state hold him in the highest esteem.
Mr.. Anderson has been a Democrat
since 1872, but after twenty-five years OF
experience he has arrived at the
conclusion that the Democratic party is
not a safe party to tie to.

experience and trials Of the past year
1t has been year of calamities, and
certainly there were enough such
without the addition of those imposed
by the Democratic party. First the
banks began to fail. Confidence was
rudely shaken. Factories began to
close, worknen were thrown out OF
employment-another calamity. Then
came the dreadful strike that threatened
to involve this country in rebellion;
then the uncertainty caused by the
tariff, and finally we in Wisconsin got a
taste of something reserved, it seems,
especially for ourselves-the forest fires
in which hundreds Of thousand dollars
worth of lumber was destroyed, for
which, of course, no one is to blame"

Sentinel:-Gov Mckinley of Ohio is
at the present day probably the most
striking example among the conspicuous
public men of the country of campaign
enduring powers. On Tuesday, having
spoken at three meetings the night
before at West Superior, and leaving
that city before midnight, he travelled
from one extremity of Wisconsin to
another, spoke for five or ten minutes
at a time at twelve towns along the
route beginning at o'clock in the
morning, for an hour at Madison in the
afternoon, and for over an hour at
Milwaukee in the evening AS soon as
his Milwaukee speech was finished, his
train at once left for Chicago, from
where, at six o'clock Wednesday morn
ing, he started down through Illinois,
stopping at eleven places, made seven
speeches of five minutes length, two of
ten minutes, one Of twenty minutes
and one of sixty minutes at Peoria
Late in the afternoon he also made a
speech at Springfield In addition to
all this he shook hands with several
hundred people, talked with scores and
kept an even temper. These days are
but samples Of many preceding ones
and many more to come, through
Pennsylvania and New York and in
West Virginia and Tennessee.

course, Los Angeles wants the trade of
