Gov. Rich has given Michigan one
Of the cleanest and bravest admins
trations the state ever had. 1t re-
quired more than common nerve and
decision of character to expose the
errors in the election returns of 1898.
The men who suffered were his own
personal friends and party associates.
The governor knew his duty and did
it, fearlessly and fully. 1t was the
thing to do for state and party, but
it took brave man TO do 1t. The
action should receive the hearty sup
port and endorsement of the party
as it then received the approval of
the whole people. Rich should be
re-nominoted. The people of Mich
igan want a chance to vote for him
again. The farmers and the labor
ing men, the mechanics and the mer-
chants and the business men know
that in him they have friend and
supporter Of every Legitimate meas
ure for the best interests for all.
There is general satisfaction with
the administration, and there is no
general desire for change. BY all
means let Rich be re-nominated, and
the republicans will pile up such
majority as the state has not seen
since the days of '72.-.TraveIse City

Senator Hill in his final spe

Senator Hill in his final speech be-
fore the passage of the Wilson bill
in the Senate talked very plainly to
his democratic colleagues. In part
he said that in his opinion the bill
imperiled the possibility of perma-
nent democratic success in any nor
thern state for many years to come.
AS between a populist income tax
on one hand and republican tariff law
on the other, he chose the latter as
the least of the two evils. As be
tween pernicious class legislation
fraught with dangerous consequence
to the country on the one hand and
simply high tariff on the other, be
preferred to endure the latter, at
least for brief period. Eliminate
the income tax and there is no diff
Guilty in framing an honest consistent
and genuine tariff bill upon strict
revenue lines with all raw materiales
free, which can be passed by the vote
Of every democratic senator without
the aid of single popu)ist vote, and
which the country would welcome
and approve.
"This is not even pretended TO be
such a measure. Numerous senator's
around the democratic side of this
chamber must feel as though demo
cratic principles had been surren-
dered or bartered away to secure the
triumph of this botched compromise
measure, which is really acceptable
to no one.
81 am sure if they expressed their
honest sentiments they do not ap-
prove this bill any more than | do.
The issue Of tariff reform had better
be postponed and preserved intact
rather than emasculated, disfgured
and despoiled in the manner now
proposed.
"The bill does not meet with pub
lie expectations, Tut at best is ap
empty and beggarly fulfillment of
democratic pledges. 1t does those
things which it ought not to do and
leaves undone those things which it
ought to do.
"Mr. president, / DO not fail to
appreciate the gravity of the situa-
ton, but the course which duty and
consistency require me to pursue at

he pledged himself in return for the
vote in Saginaw county at the State

from a reliable source that Gov.

when approached on the subject his
answer was that he never crossed a
