ohio will be very prominent in the new
administration The celebrity given Ohio
men during the Hayes administration is
likely to be utterly eclipsed in the new
new one, which assumes office on the 4th
OF March. The President, Secretary OF
State. the Secretary OF War, and the At
tornry General, If the latter is, indeed, TO
be the youngest of the fighting McCooks,
are ali natives of Ohio, although two OF
them row live in other States. And there
is still ever present the possibility that
at the last moment Major Mckinley Will
find it necessary to indulge in some most
extensive repairs OF his Cabinet slate. The
| most likely change in it is the substitution
| of MIR Mark Hanna in the Postoffice De
partment.
1t WAS President Cleveland who set the
example of putting more than one manfrom
State in a Cabinet He did this in both
his administrations. Twelve years ago
he chose both his Secretary of the Treasury
and his Secretary OF the Navy from his
own State, and at the beginning of his
present administration repeated the per
| fcrmance by selecting the Secretary of
War and the Postmaster General from the
| Empire commonwealth.
President Mckinney mas more neeu 10
adopt the same rJle in order to take care
Of Mr. Mark aHnna While that gentleman
has repeatedly declared the opposition Of
| any desire 10 be a mem ber of the Cabinet,
| and particularly to hold the office of
| Postmaster General, il is thought by E.any
| or the best-informed friends OF Mckinley
that he will find it necessary to make
| Hanna Postmaster General for Hanna S
own good Unless the chairman OF the
national committee has some vantage
| ground from which to manage his cam
| paign for Senator, it is believed he will be
| compelled TO succumb to the hard work OF
! the Foraker machine.
The Postoffice Department is counted as
| a splendid place from which TO successfully
| manipulate legislative conventions and as
| semblies of the statesmen at Colum bus.
| Many predictions. therefore, continue to
| be heard to the effect that when Mckinley's S
| CqbIuet list finally emerges from the hop
| per it will contain two Ohio men, the one
| who got ont of the way for Hanna and the
| one who comes in to get out of the way for
| Foraker.

Why should not some OF the friends of

that no money appropriated under the
provisions OF this bill shall be used to
maintain any public vessel of the United

to prevent the passage OF merchandise
or passengers from this to any other
country with which the United States is
at peace; or, directly or indirectly, to assist

or any other supplies for vessels, or for the
pay of any officer or officers, marines,

would not have to be operative long enough
to make it particularly obnoxious to any
one. In any case, the business of doing
Spains dirty work against the wishes and

Inc 1lrSt peDcrdI eleitlon since November
to be held in any of the States takes place
in Michiga on the first Tuesday after the
first Monday in April. 1t is for a Justice
of the supreme court and regents of the
university. All the large cities OF the
state, except Detroit. also hold their
municipal elections and every township
chooses a full set of town Officers The
election, therefore, is very important
one and is looked forward to with much
interest
Michigan was regarded last fall as one
of the most hopeful States in the Middle
West for Bryan, and the contest was q
very sharp one, resulting, however, in n
swashing majority OF more than 10000
being counted for Mckinley The silver
men Of all parties are confident of greatly
lessening the majority this spring and
are even hopeful of winning.
There has been complete fusion of all
silver elements, the Democrats getting su-
preme Justice and the Silver Republicans
and Populists dividing the regents. The
nomination for supreme justice is formid-
able one The candidate is the celebrated
Judge George l.. Yaple, one of the greatest
campaignerS in the State. Yaple is we'll
remembered in Washington as the man
who defeated Burrows for Congress and
as one OF the most brilliant orators that
has appeared in the House in many years
He has been six times q candidate for
Congress and has also been the choice
OF Michigan Democracy for governor and
Senator He always ran away ahead of
his ticket and now presides in a judicial
circuit which he carried although heavily
Republican.
The Republican candidate for supreme
iutsice is also a man Of no tional reputa-
ton. being the onc-armed soldier, Col
Charles D Long, who has made the long
struggle with the Pension office over the
proposed reduction of his pension
Michigan has been a very doubtful State
for years 1t gave the Democrats and
Greenbackers or Populists, when combined,
maiorities in 1878, 1882, 1888, 1885,
1887 and 1890 and small majority in
1892 for the attorney general, who was
on both tickets But it gave the Repub-

FREE CURE FOR MEN.
A Michigan Man Offers to Send His Dis
covery Free.
Claims to Be Benefactor to weakened
Mankind.

There is always more OF less suspicion
attached 10 anything that Is offered free but
sometimes a man so OverhOWs with generosity
that he cannot rest until his discovery is

men may profit by what he has discovered
II Is upon this principal that a resident Of
Kalamazoo, Mich, desires to send free TO
mankind prescription which will cure them
Of any form of nervous debility relieves
them Of all the doubt and uncertainty which
such men are peculiarly liable to and restores
the organs to natural size and vigOr. As it
costs nothing to try the experiment it would
seem that any man, suffering with the
nervous troubles that usually attack men
who never stopped to realize what might be
the final result ought to be deeply interested
in a remedy which will restore them to
health, strength and vigor without which
they continue TO live an existence Of untold
misery. As the remedy in question was the
result Of many years research as 10 what
combination would be peculiarly effective in
restoring TO men the strength they need. IL
would seem that all men suffering with any
form Of nervous weakness ought TO write for
such a remedy at once. A request to II. @.
Olds, Box l7l2, Kalamazoo Mich, stating
that you are not sending for the prescription
out of idle curiosity, but that you wish to
make use Of the medicine by giving ita trial
will be answered promptly and without
evidence as to where Information came from.
The prescription is sent free and although
some may wonder how Mr.. Olds can afford to
give away bis discovery, there Is no doubt
about the offer being genuine. Cut this out
and send TO Mr.. Olds so that lie may know
how you came TO write him. 12-2S-7st
