where the opportunities were not favor
able for young men striving TO get on
in the world, he had succeeded like
many others, only in making a living,
and therefore when he came west in
1850 to grow up with the country he
had barely enough money to pay his
travelling expenses. He was fortunate
enough to find work in the lumber
woods in st. Clair county, aud for
thirty-three consecutive winters he
found employment in some capacity in
the lumber camps which were then
such an important factor in the de-
velopment of st. Clair county's re-
sources. In the intervening summers
he spent part of his time in driving
logs and looking over timber. but
while not engaged in this way had
time to take up quite a large tract of
government land, which he cleared
largely by the work of his own hands,
and which is now the excellent farm
upon which he still resides in the town
ship of Fort Gratiot. Acquiring what
property he owns entirely by his
own exertions and by the exercise of
his own judgment he has had the very
best business experience and has de
monstrated his ability to discharge the
duties of the Office beyond question.

discharging the duties in a most credit
able manner and making warm friends
among the vesslemen around the
lakes.
For the past sixteen years Captain
Westcott has been q resident of st.
Clair. Last Spring he was nominated
for mayor by the Republicans of that
Democratic city and was elected by a
large majority.
Capt. Westcott makes friends where
ever he goes and when the ides of
November rolls around the same popu-
larity which carried him into office as
mayor of st. Clair city will make Capt.
Westcott the senator to represent st.
Clair county in the next legislature of
Michigan.
Capt. Chas. III. Westcott is a lifelong
Republican and man with an honor
able record and eminently qualified to
fill that important office. He is also
a vote-getter and the Republicans have
done well in selecting him as their
candidate.
The voter will make no mistake by
casting his ballot for Chas III. West
colt for state senator.

BRYAN's arguments to the laboring
men run thusly:-The men who furnish
the money to run the business of our
nation desire the present standard.
That is the reason you don't want it.
Your employers want the present
standard, that's the reason you don't
want it. Your employer objects to
anarchy,-that's the reason you should
all be anarchists. They might add
your employer eats three meals day
and wears clothes-that's the reason
you shouldn't.

BRYAN has never endeavored to
show why the man who borrowed a
gold standard dollar should be allowed
to pay back 80 cent silver standard
dollar and call it square. Or why the
workingman who put in the bank a
gold standard dollar he had saved
should be compelled to accept a silver
standard 80 cent dollar when he drew
out his money. Or why the family of
a life-insurance policy holder who paid
gold standard dollars as premiums to
secure the payment of such dollars
when he was dead, should receive the
face of the policy in silver standard
dollars worth so cents apiece.

SENATORIAL.
Brief Sketch of C. n. Westcott, OF
St. Clair.


ST. clair.
Capt. Chas. III. Westcott was born in
the year lS47, on the 4th, day of April,
and was 40 years old on his last birth
day. He was born in a log cooper
shop and Graded in sap trough. He
is the son of Capt. and Mrs. ID. III.
Westcott, of Marine City. When he
was about six weeks old bis parents
came to Marine City which has since
been their home. Charles received his
education in the public schools of
Marine City, the place being at that
time called Newport. He commenced
sailing when boy at sixteen years,
beginning at the lowest round of the
ladder, as a before the mast sailor and
worked his way up until about six
years ago, and is still interested in
vessel property. The last vessel he
sailed was the steamer Lowell.
Capt. Westcott is first class bust
ness man in every respect, and during
the many years which he resided i'm
Marine City he held the universal re-
spect and esteem of TIE citizens of the
city. He held the Office of township
treasurer of Cottrellville for several
years when Marine City was part of
that township being elected by large
majority. which will attest for his
popularity at that time.
Under President Harrison's admin
istration he was appointed inspector of
vessels hulls of the Detroit district, an
office which he held for four years,

FOR REGISTER OF DEEDS.
A Candidate Who Has Held Many
Positions of Trust.

No man in st. Clair county is better
known than Daniel n. Runnels, and
no man has more friends or less en-.
emies. He has been resident of this
county for more than 40 years, and in
his public and private character he has
so deported himself as to command
the respect of all who know him. 1t
would be hard to find man in this
county who does not know him, and
hard to find man who would speak
an unkind word of him. He has filled
many positions of honor and trust in
this city and county, as alderman of
his ward for six years, mayor of this
city for two terms and city treasurer
for two terms. He performed his
duty faithfully, honestly and efficient
ly. There is not one spot or stain on
his public or private record. Few if
any men have worked harder or en-
ployed more men than he has during
the last 40 years and every man for
whom he has worked and every man
who has worked for him is his devoted
faithful friend. In proportion to his
means he has spent more money in
acts of charity than any other man in
this county. Wherever there is sorrow
and suffering among the lowest and
poorest there he will be found cheer
ing the heart of the afflicted and re-
lieving the distress Of those who are
suffering. Why should not such
man be inyincible as candidate. The
business of the Office he is now holding
was never better conducted. This is
the universal testimony of all who
have had business in the office. He
is candidate for reelection to the
Office of register of deeds, and every
citizen knows if he is elected the bust
ness of the Office will be honestly,
faithfully and efficiently performed.
OF his election there can be no doubt.
1t is seldom we can truthfully say of
a candidate for Office which we can
say of Daniel n. Runnels. He is hon
est, intelligent kind, faithful, char
liable, industrious, efficient, thor
oughly good citizen, and a splendid
man. He will make good officer and
no man will make mistake who votes
for him.--Port Huron Times.

STEPHEN MOORE.

Republican Candidate for County
Treasurer.
Honest Stephen Moore, who has so
zealously guarded the strong box of
the county for the past two years, is
hundreds of votes stronger than when
elected in 1894. The people know him
and to know him is to have the utmost
confidence in him. Rugged, straight
forward, genial and without airs, he
wins to himself many friends whom
he cherishes just as much after cleo
ton as during the preliminary canvass
for the office.
He has ever been man of the peo-
pie. Accustomed from his early
childhood to hard labor in the east

Four years ago Mr.. Bryan went
over the country telling the farmers
and laboring men that what they
needed to make them happier and more
prosperous was free trade. He de-
ceived many of them then and he is
trying to deceive them now with his
panacea for all ills, free silver. To be
fooled once ought to be enough.

HORACE G. SNOYER.
The Republican Candidate for
Congress-.

Congress-.
One of the most important things to
remember on election day is our mem
Der of Congress. Horace G. Shower has
served the people of the Seventh Dis
trict well. He has always been found
true to his constituents in every re-
spect. He has no religious predellec-
lions that jeopardize our present public
school system or any other system
dear to the hearts of the majority of
the inhabitants of the Seventh Con-
gressional District. Lots of democrats
will vote for him for this reason. The
simple fact that he is practically safe
should not cause any friend to relax
his vigilence for minute. He is a
good man and deserves a majority
that will show him that he is appre-
ciated..

NO BOULEVARD YET.
Judge Brill EnjOfns the White Bear
Parkway Scheme.

The boulevard around White Bear
lake will not be built unless the prop
erty owners consent can be secured,
or Judge Brill's decision knocked out.
CIR the latter grants the injunction
asked for restraining the commission
from laying out the boulevard and as
sessing the damages and benefits.
James S. Simonton was plaintiff in the
action In support of his order grant
ing the injunction, Judge Brill says:
The act under which. the commissioners
were appointed is unconstitutional. 1t is es-
sentially a special or local law, or if not spe-
cial or local, it is not uniform in its opera
ton throughout the state. The classification
counties. Whether or not such classifica-
ton would be proper it is not necessary to
decide. The act places all lakes lying in two
or more counties, except White Bear lake, In
one class and it places certain property upon
the shores of White Bear lake in another class.
AS to that property, it describes different
rule than that applicable to all the other
property within the provisions of the act. The
distinction made is clearly arbitrary and I'M
reasonable. The law to be valid must operate
equally upon all the subjects within the class
1t must embrace all and exclude none whose
condition and wants render such legislation
necessary and appropriate to them as a class
1t cannot be doubted that the act must fall
unless the proviso at the end of section 1 can
be disregarded. That proviso was a condition
to the passage of the act. II it is dsregarded
the property referred to in it is made subject
to the general provisions of the act. but it is
clear that that not the intention of the
legislature; on the contrary, 1t was intended
that this pronerty should not come under the
general provisions. The proviso was a limita-
ton upon the modification of other provisions
of the act. and, in my opinion, cannot be
disregarded.
