hal - Ha hn hofO
such enthusiastic campaign meetings, being
greeted by large audiences every evening.
The Mason News in speaking of the re-
nomination of Senator Fitzpatrick, says: He
is an especially strong candidate, being
the present state senator from this district.
His services in the senate at its last session
showed him to be remarkably well equipped
for the business of the Legislature and we
are fortunate in having man of his ability
who is willing to devote his time to the
SO. OO.per. day thankless task of legislating
at Lansing.
Two enthusiastic republican meetings
were held at Henderson, Saturday. In the
afternoon, after fine pole was raised,
Congressman Linton and Hon. FL. III. Pull
YER addressed large audience. In the
evening, after the organization of a McKin-
ley club with 115 members, Judge Smith
and Senator Fitzpatrick spoke to crowded
house. Both gatherings showed plainly the
drift of sentiment in Rush, which we be-
lieve will result in a majority ON election
day for the entire republican ticket.
State Republican,: w. r. Burt says he
Is not anxious to have Bryan visit the Sagi-
nav valley. "That might help elect Judge
Brucker, and we are not doing thing to
accomplish that object. Any other gold
man in congress will do as much good.
There is not member of the state commit
tee that will do anything to help Bruc ker,
and they will not put any prominent men
here for him. He has proved traitor to
us several times, and will now undoubtedly
be supported by the gold men,"
The Bryan and Sewall club headquarters
were opened Monday morning at III west
Main street, in the store formerly occupied
by Stever Bros. Q. A. Durham is the jan
itor in charge. DIR. w. r. Salisbury, of
Detroit, spoke to crowded house, Wednes-
day night, music being furnished by Messrs.
Horsman and Mcintosh. Tee presence of
a large number of Mckinley men indicated
the broad mindedness of the voters for pro-
lection and sound money. They like to
hear both sides of the question.
