For Register of Deeds.

For several months the friends of Jay ID.
Royce, of Byron, have been urging him to
become candidate for position on the
republican county ticket To their entreat-
les he has never given decided answer
either way, except to say that he would be
pleased some time to serve the people of
the county IL they desired him so to do.
The matter stood in this way until yester-
day, when Mr.. Royce decided to announce
his candidacy for Register of Deeds, sub
ject to the action of the republican county
convention, and is the first candidate in the
field to succeed that worthy official, w. H..
Bigelow.
Mr.. Royce has been known for years as
one of the most active party workers In the
county, especially on the east side. No re-
publican candidate ever appealed to him in
vain for assistance. He has been promi-
nent 10 the affairs of his township, serving
in various capacities, and is now clerk; also
in Byron village as member OF the coun-
Gil and president. During President Har-
rison's administration he was appointed
postmaster. serving to the entire satisfac-
ton of every patron of the Office.
Indeed, his official life has been marked
by efficient and honest service. He is a
man OF more than ordinary ability, Of pleas
ing address aud a genial friend. Ii the re.
publicans of Shiawassee county nominate
him he will surely be elected and prove his
capability by keeping the records Of his Of
fee In splendid shape.

The attack of the Detroit Evening News
upon Hon. Geo. A. Steel, of st. Johns,
relative to the assignment of his father and
his connection with the business is one of
the meanest pieces of newspaper work done
in Michigan for years. There is not in any
of the transactions the slightest evidence of
anything wrong on the part of Geo. A.
Steel, and this attack is made solely to in.
jure his prospects for the republican nomi-
nation for state treasurer. Such methods
are beneath the dignity of any honest paper
or candidate, and IL the article was inspired
by anyone seeking the same position, he
should be forever kept from gaining any
official position from the party. Mr.. Steeps
business associates and friends in Clinton
county refuted the News SANDER in the re-
publican county convention Tuesday, by
the adoption of the following:
Whereas, Clinton county has candidate for
the office of state treasurer at the hands of the
state convention to be held in the city of Grand
Rapids, August 5, in the person of Hon. George
A. Steel, of st. Johns, and
Whereas, We deem it to the honor and inter-
est OF our county as well as the welfare and
success of the republican state ticket that this
county should be represented upon the ticket,
and
Whereas, Knowing him as we do as his
neighbors and friends, we have the utmost con-
hdence in the ability, integrity and quallfica-
tons OF the said George A Steel. Therefore,
be IL
Resolved, That the delegates here elected to
the state convention be hereby instructed to
use all honorable and available means to bring
about the nomination OF said George A. Steel
to said office of state treasurer

Register Bigelow Not Candidate for Re
Nomination.


The announcement made on Tuesday that
Register of Deeds w. III. Bigelow had &C
cepted position with M. l.. Stewart q Co.,
and would not be candidate for re-elec.
ton, caused the greatest surprise in local
political circles. 1t had been generally
conceded that Mr.. Bigelow would again be
nominated and elected, in the first instance
by reclamation and in the later by an over
whelming majority. Since he was first
nominated in 1888 he has regularly ran
several hundred votes ahead of his ticket.
Mr.. Bigelow has been one of the most
efficient and popular officials the county has
ever had. Both Mr.. Bigelow and Stewart
& Co., are to be congratulated on the rela-
tions they will assume on Jan. 1st next.
Mr.. Bigelow's extensive acquaintance and
business tact will be of great value to. his
employers. We shall be pleased to well
come him with his estimable family back to

We have bimetallism in the United
States in every sense of the term. If the
gold man wants gold, he can get it. If
the silver man wants silver at 16 to 1,
he can get it. Based on these two metals
and redeemable in them, or like them, in
the products of the world (the final re-
deemer of all moneys) we have the
greenback, the treasury note and the ma
tional bank note, SO that if the citizen
prefers paper to either gold or silver it
is within his reach.

The contest for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton is becoming exceedingly warm as the
date draws near for the convention. The
friends of A. T. Bliss claim that he will 60
into the convention with more than $50 del
egates pledged to support him; while the
Pingree managers claim with equal assur-
ance at least 375 votes, All being required
to nominate. The Free Press of today gives
the standing of the several candidates as fol-
lows: Pingree 315, Bliss 224, O'Donnell 81,
Aitken AZ. Wheeler 80. The Saginaw Cou-
rier's figures are entirely different and place
Mr.. Bliss In the lead. No one can at pres
ent predict with any certainty what the out
come will be. 1t is said that the Pingree
forces have new slate for all state officers
which will be nominated If they can control
the convention.

Corunna Journal: Col. John Moyses. OF
Venice, was in town Saturday, and says he
found in his woods last week queer freak
of the electric current. The lightning had
struck black ash tree fifty-two feet from
the ground, tearing out two slivers about
the thickness of a fence rail, so that he
made ten fine fence rails out of the two
pieces. The Colonel thinks that If he could
only receive such stroke of political light
ming he would be safely landed IN the Capt.
tol building. He will use the rails for his
political fence.

THE TIMES has never made practice of
discussing law suits before their trial in the
courts, believing that the ends of justice are
better served by not doing so. There are
times however when it is best to express an
opinion, and in terms not to be misunder-
stood. For this reason and desiring to learn
all the facts, we made no mention last week
of the case commenced against Jabez w.
Hubbard. of Bennington, by one John
Brady, for $1,000 damages for alternating
the affections of his wife. We have looked
Tito the matter carefully and have learned
something of what the plaintiffs line of
testimony will be, and have arrived at the
conclusion that every honest man In the
county will, when he learns the facts, viz,
that bold attempt Is being made to black
mail Mr.. Hibbard. We do not think there
is one particle of evidence to substantiate
any claim of this kind against Mr.. Hibbard,
or that there is any foundation whatever
for the case. Brady, commonly known as
Jack" Brady, has been known for years as
tough character and sporting man with
out any standing In the communities In
which he has lived. THE TIMES does not
believe the case will ever come to trial, as
1t is clearly an attempt to make Mr. bib
bard pay ''hush" money. Watson &
Chapman will look after Mr.. Hibbard's de-
Tense and will make it interesting for the
plaintiff, who we believe should be arrested
for attempted backmail II he ever appears
In the county again.

Henry Cummings, of Muskegon, one of
the candidates for the nomination of auditor
general on the republican ticket, spent a few
hours in Owosso Tuesday, favoring THE
Tunes with pleasant call. Mr.. Cummings
was candidate four years ago and made a
good showing at that time, which will doubt
less be of assistance to him in the coming
convention. Personally he is an agreeable
gentleman and wide awake republican.
The commercial travellers of the state will
ask for his nomination as a representative of
the 5000 men who constitute this important

Mr.. Bryan's fgurative crown OF thorns,
which captivated the imaginations of the

Gus earlier efforts of the same orator as fan
back as December, %, 1894. On that day,

cried, with appropriate gesticulation:

sociates in the fifty-third congress was the

Mr.. Mccall delivered in the house, speech

Members Believe the Printing CT
fcs Is a Fixture.
Tbey Point To the improvements as
an Argument That a New Struc-
ture VIII Occupy Tint Site.

Every few days some one III either
the Senate or House introduces a new bill
looking to the purchase OF q site Tor new
Government Printing Office. During the
last two OF three Congresses the bitter
contest arising over the selection OF the
Eabonc lot WAS such as 1" prevent acton OF
any kind, but with the demise of the owner
IL was expected that something might be
accomplished rs this session.
This expectation. however, will prove
a delnsion and n snare for the simple rea-
son if nothing else, that many members OF
the House, and even some ON the Commit
tee on Public Buildings and Grounds, be-
Hcve that the Malone site is the only one
in every way available. and majority OF
the Senate adbcrcs 10 their long prevailing
belief that il must bc hat location or none.
Don't YOU know said prominent
member OF the House TO the Times, that
the Government Printing Office site VIII
remain Just where IL is" New buildings VIII
from time TO time be erected until al OF
the existing. structure Will have disap-
pcared. 1t was for this very purpose that the
new wing was added dataneXpensc ofnearIy

around which willbc assembled an adequate
and cornmodious building equa! to the re-
quircmcnts of the growing business.
Senator German and those associated
with Bim IN originating ana pushing TO com
plction Ali. new addition ere lOng-hcaded,
ana possibly lcvei-heaGei at the same time.
II is an actual fact that there is as much
floor space III the anne y now being erected
as in ali of the old II street wing. When
the new building is ready for occupancy
the next move viii he to secure legislation
for the demolition OF that wing, and the
erection on the same site of d suitable fire
proof building. That viii be followed by
the dest ruct ion of the other Old wing and
the substitution OF another new edirice.
The three new buildings viii have
floor space equal TO three times that of the
present accommodations, and will doubt
less suffice for the requirements and growth
of the service for the next twenty years.
Before the expiration of that time addi-
tional ground can be secured, either by
purchase or condemnation, on II or North
Capitol streets, adjacent to the present
site; and still another annex erected which
will afford sufficient room 20 meet all
demands during the coming century. Be
yond that period pOs'erity can take
hand in solving the problem, and we need
not worry about il now.
The mere fact that the present annex
has been erected will serve as a clog TO
one of the numerous sites suggested as
desirable, because the building would prove
Q total loss 10 the government, and
alority in both branches of Congress will
oppose any opposition of that character.
You can say that the site OF the new
Government Printing Office has been def
nltely settled and will remain just where it
is for all time To come"
