The Democrats made all the oy9rtucS
possible and they were renulsed at every
turn. Some Of the Pop fellows a7e new
dead anxious to arrange fusion deal hy
some method. Mr.. Fellows is quoted as
declaring it to be his intention to make
Goodykoontz the third man in the race.

THE KIMBALL GRAPHIC
cLATE R. TINAN.
Official Pauer Of the City and County
For Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit
H. f. Fellows,
OF Aurora County.

The following report OF the joint COM
mlttee chosen by the two conventions
in session at Mitchell on September 10Th,
Will explain itself and should have been
accepted by both conventions as final:
MIR. CHAIRMAN: We have the honor to
report that 1t is the sense Of the joint
committee appointed by the Peoples
Party convention and the Democratic
convention duly assembled. and is the
only conclusion that can be arrived at
harmoniously that Hon. II. f. Fellows be
declared the Joint nominee of both con-
ventions for the position of Judge OF the
Fourth Judicial Circuit.

Judge Fe,lowa, ~om,,sa.ion.

Howard Democrat:-The Democrat be-
lieves that the Populists should have en-
dorsed the.Democrat's nominee for judge
in this circuit. The bulk of the Demo
cratic voters Of the state live here, and
in each of the other circuits the Dane
Gratis have invariably endorsed the PupI-
list candidate, Mr.. Fellows is lhe only
Democratic candidate up for election in
TIE state. He has aiwaps been silver
man and went down in defeat with the
other silver Democrats before the federal
Office holders at Aberdeen year aga
last May. He was tho leader of the
silver forces in that convention. The
Populists OF Aurora county instructed
their delegates TO support him at Mitchell
and being backed by the united dcmoc-
racy he had Il majority over Mr.. GoodY-
unit. The Democrat is moi criticising
Mr. Goodykoontz. He is an able man
but we cant vote for them both.
Neither can the otter Democrats of the
circuit, which means tho election OF q
Republican judge in November. Just as
we'll be plain about it. In union there
is strength. The Democrat regrets that
the delegates at Mitchell preferred con-
fusion to fusion. A Aunion of the silver
forces this fall would have helped mat
tors another year, but perhaps it's just as
we'll. Somebody FROM somewhere will
be wiser by that time.
Had the conference committee at
Mitchell decided in favor Of Mr. Goody-
koontZ the Democrat would hays gladly
supported him. We had 10 choice in
the matter. Mr.. Fellows is probably the
best qualified man for judge in the cir
cult, and having been seiected by the
conference committees appointed by the
two conventions and nominated by the
Democrats, we know Of no reason for
not carrying his name at the head Of ouf
editorial columns. Mr.. Fellows would
lie a credit on the bench in this circuit.
He Is an orator, shrewd and conservative,
and a man whom tho Democrats need
not hesitate to support.

Sioux Falls Argus.L Leader: more
the facts come out about the fight be-
tween the Populists and Democrats ill
the Mitchell judicial district, the more
creditablc doee the stand taken by the
Democrats appear. The Democrats
were not unwilling to arrange fusion
deal ii they were me. hnlf way but the
conference had just begua when it was
evident that the Populi5.s proposed to
nave GOodykoonlZ as the fusion candl
date, or have him without fusion. s. IL,
Wright OF Chamberlain, was offered as u
compromise candidate, bat the Populist
leaders would have no one but Gooay-
kO0ntz. The Democrats niado very rea
sonable overture but they were repuised
at every turn. The rcpulists acted
throughout as though tie sole mission of
the Democrats in life was to as,ist the
Popull4ts INTO Office. ihe Democrats
finally got tired, and nominated Judge
Fellows. The Democrats OF that district
hope to teach the Fopulists lesson by
making GoolYkoontz the third man in
the race.

saloon in the place-Up to this date the
new village administration has failed to ap-
point either lamplighter, nightwatch, or
marshal. Marshal McClintock still holds
the fort and discharges the duties of the
Office of Marshal. He ought to be appoint
ed forthwith. This is an administration of
economy, one of the examples of ''saving at
the top and losing at the bung." Presi-
dent Lee is all right, and trying to do what
is right, but he is hampered by a majority
of the council, who use about the same
judgment in public matters as you might
expect from a wooden headed statue of
liberty. Meanwhile our citizens grope
about the streets these rainy nights in in
penetrable darkness, stubbing their toes
and barking their shns against the trees.
while few obstinate councilmen uncon-
cernably sit in their well lighted parlors,
reading Blackstone and Shakespoke.

Tho Restoration of Protection.

Coming events cast their shadows
before" said the old highland seer.
The great and widespread prosperity of
the future, when the policy of protec-
tion will be an existing fact and not
merely promise, is already foreshad-
owed by the very perceptible and well
come measure of prosperity which the
mere assurance Of the speedy restoration
Of the American system has brought. A
recent dispatch from Harrisburg said
that the state factory inspector reported
that there are 100, 900 more people en-
ployed in Pennsylvania now than there
were six months ago. Dispatches from
all over the country tell similar story
and have been telling it ever since Nov.
3, when the restoration of protection
was made sure by the great victory won
by the party pledged to that system and
by the election to the presidency of that
statesman whose whole public career
has been identified with the policy Of
protection to American industry.

The Boss and Campaign Contributions.

j. Is. Bishop in The Forum.
Upon what does the power of the bosses
rest? How does it come about that the
legislature of New York regards itself as
the representative of Mr.. Platt rather than
of the people. There is no longer any mys-
terry about this. The power rests upon
money, raised as campaign contributions
from both individuals and corporations, but
mainly from corporations. The system by
which this is made to give one man control
of the government was originated by Rich
ard Croker in 1898, when he was boss of
Tammany Hall. When the republicans
supplanted the democrats in power, Mr..
Platt adopted Mr. Croker's system as his
own, and extended ii over the entire state.
will cite some Of the most outspoken def
nitions of this system which have been
made in the recent past, and which, though
widely published, have never been contra
dicted. Mr.. Wheeler Ii. Peckham, one of
the ablest and most honOred members of the
New York bar, declared in public speech,
In March, 1894, that the payment of money
to the boss by corporations, as the ''price of
peace" was general; naming one corpora
tion which he said he knew paid $50, 600
yearly, and adding that he had knowledge
of a second which paid similar amount.
Mr.. Henry o. Havemeyer, president of the
sugar trust, testified before the Senate in
vestigating committee at Washington, in
June. 1894, that the trust made campaign
contributions each year to New York politi-
cal organizations. adding: "Every individu-
al and corporation and firm-trust, or what
ever you call it-does these things"

Best Housed Community in the World

~NNS
There is a greater concentration of wealth
ih the state of New York than elsewhere,
the average per inhabitant being 40 per
cent over that OF the anion at large. This
is partly shown in The prodigious value OF
house property, including public buildings,
which average $50 per inlabitant in the
state of New York against 1920 for the
whole union. The six middle states taken
collectively give an average OF 5000 OF
house property per inhabitant, which is
double the ratio found in Great Britain,
pie of these States are, on the whole, the
best housed community in the world.
The average wealth per inhabitant has
almost quadrupled in 40 years, marvel
Gus proof of the progress of these states.
and unparalleled in Europe; for McCulloch
lays it down that only prosperous nations
can double their wealth in that interval.
The accumulation in the middle states per
inhabitant has been $40 90 per annum high
er than in New England, and exactly
double the average accumulation yearly in
Agricultural wealth forms only Is per cent
of the total in the middle states, whereas it
is 25 per cent in the whole of the union. -

OWOSSO, FRIDAY. JUNE 4. 1897.

Albert Shaw, author of Municipal Gov
ernment in the United States" writes of the
new Greater New York Charter IN the
June Atlantic. lie makes an interesting
comparative study of municipal govern
ment in different countries, and comes to
the conclusion that the government of
American cities is much more complicated
than it need be, and that one of the greatest
weaknesses of the New York Charter is its
complexity and the likelihood that it will
be interferred with by continued legislative
action.
