Old confederates Ready to Fieht

The Mississippi executive officers have
received barrel of letters from all over
the state proffering services in case Of
war with Spain, and, strange as 1t may
seem, many Of these letters are from gray

men who might be supposed to have had
an elegant sufficiency of this sort of thing

of the state officers says: II do not want
to be quoted, but you may state that I
have received scores of letters from men

to their state and country, and the most

not seem to be to his disadvantage. 1t

County Canvassers.

From the Corunna Journal
The standing committees have been
busy the past week on their respective
duties.
The superintendent of the poor sub
mitted their report which shows the
total amount expended to be $12762.36,
divided as follows: expenses at poor
farm S3335.40; paid board out of poor
house, $SS9.36; insane expense $1S2S. 96 /;
temporary relief $6453.11, supervisors
services $249.53. Number maintained at
poor farm SO. Average number during
the year 46. Number at present at the
poor farm Al. Total number relieved
during the year 300.
The resolution heretofore adopted
authorizing the board of superinten-
dents to contract for physicians services
for Owosso and Corunna, at $500 and
5000 respectively, was repealed.
The report shows that $1545,90 less for
temporary relief than it did last year
for the same period. This is pretty
good evidence that times have improv-
ed.
Arthur w. Green. of this city was re-
elected superintendent of the poor for
the term of three years. Mr.. Green was
complimentea by receiving the vote of
every member of the board. 1t was a
deserved recognition of his services as
superintendent.
The superintendent recommend that
steps be taken towards completing the
new building. The recommendation is
good one and should be acted upon
favorably at once. The old frame
structure is regular fire trap and not
only menace to the other buildings but
also to the lives of the inmates.
A. N. Cody the efficient county school
examiner was reelected to the same
position for term of two years. He
also received the vote of every member
of the board.
The board ordered telephone to be
put i'm the register of deeds office which
was much needed Improvement
The county treasurer was ordered to
borrow money to pay the running eX-
penses of the county not to exceed the

last two years. Some of the 16 to l
fallacies which looked so plausible then
have been, by the natural course of
events, proved to be absolutely without
foundation. The statements upon
which Bryan and Brucker placed their
whole hope, and by which they swore
the loudest, they now see completely
ignored by those erstwhile leaders.
This has not escaped their considera-
ton, nor has the fact that the silver
candidate still adhers to that policy in
spite of the falsity of his past predic-
tons. Thus the sound money demo-
Gratis who opposed Mr.. Brucker two
years ago still feel under the same
obligation to deal another blow at the
polls to a dishonest dollar, and their
ranks are being constantly swelled by
their former companions who are by no
means blind to the meaning of the
change in the prices of silver and of
other products.
Sound money and businesslike meth
DDS in the conduct of public Office seems
to be the key note of Mr.. Fordney's
campaign, and no one but business
man such as Mr. Fordney is, can ap-
preciate what the latter issue means.
The affairs of the government require
far more attention than do those even
of greater business concerns and none
but business men fully know what
that means. The voters of the
eighth district however realize it to q
sufficient extent so that the sentiment
for Mr.. Fordney is receiving strong
support for that very reason.
Then, too, if a man who provides the
means whereby his fellow men can
earn an honest living, is entitled to any
regard whatever, the laboring man has
good reason to cherish kindly feeling
for Joe Fordney. Through, his self
sacrificing public spirit and his tireless
energy he has been the means of plac-
ing number of concerns on their feet
where by adverse circumstances large
number of men had been thrown out of
employment To his enthusiastic pub
lie spirit alone is due the fact that
hundreds of laboring men working in
different factories in Saginaw are new
receiving good pay for their labor. One
concern alone which he put on its feet
employs over two hundred men.
In fact the voters throughout the
district are beginning to know Mr..
Fordney as plain but successful bust
ness man, man who has worked hard
and with success in the interest of
public improvements and a man who
will be instrumental in introducing
business methods into the public service
They see more than ever that he is the
only logical candidate for the friend of
honest money, whether he be farmer,
mechanic or business man, and once
more they are going to rally in the
cause of an honest dollar and hon est
businesslike methods.

REGISTER OF DEEDS,

NOMINEE.
His Two Years of Experience Make
Him the Logical Candidate.
From the Corunna Journal:

From the Corunna Journal:
The Office of register Of deeds is one
of the most important in the county,
and fortunately, indeed, has been Shia-
wassee county in selecting these officers.
The late Charles Holman, n A. Finch
and w. II. Bigelow have left honorable
records that will be mentioned for many
years with words of praise by the citi-
zens of the county. The security of
your homes depend in large degree on
the competency and honesty of the Off
Ger in charge of these valuable records.
The people have long appreciated this
fact, and made no mistake In selecting
Jay d. Royce to succeed this honored
trio of officials. Two years ago the eff
cheney and honesty of the present in
cnmbent was to many matter of con-
lecture, but after nearly two years of
service it is an assured fact.
At that time his popularity did not
extend far from his native village and
township, but it now extends through
out the county. His close attention to
business and accommodating manners
have won for him the deserved plaudit
of well done. good and faithful SER
want" and the people will say at the
polls,iwith hearty accord, ENTER in and
take charge of the records for another
term. He received a denomination by
the unanimous vote of the convention.
AS was said by the Journal two years
ago, we say now: "He is an affable gen.
tleman, kind and considerate, and whom
it Is always pleasure to meet. He is
accurate in his business, good pen
man, and his election will ensure care
full, painstaking official with whom the
whole people will be pleased" We
think our predictions have been fully
verified, and that he is entitled to a re-
election.
Give your vote to Jay d. Royce for
register of deeds.

The letter accompanying the above is
addressed to Ellis b. Usher of Lacrosse.
IL says:
II have your interesting letter and /
answer it at once. / am democrat in all
my sympathies and affections, and will
greatly prefer to vote for the representa-
tive men of that party. AT present the
democratic is the minority party and
cannot, if it would, control the policy of
the country. Therefore it accepts for its
leaders shallow pretenders, who, like Mr..
Bryan and Gov. Stone, can promise it
only local success, and its platforms and
principles, like that of Chicago, adopted
in 1896, are mere snare at existing con-
ditions without presenting any scheme
for political or social improvement
"The Chicago platform is the mere
echo of the ill temper of those who adj
here to it, and commits the democratic
party to the coinage of silver on the ratio
of l6 to l, with enforced legal tender
quality. Its advocates propose to reduce
the price of gold or the gold standard
some, and to advance the price OF silver
'some,' and the point at which the depre-
citation of the price of gold and the en-
hancement of the price of silver will meet
will be the standard of values in this
country-forgetful of the fact that the
more valuable metal will disappear from
circulation.
81 will not support any candidate who
favors the coinage of silver on the ratio
of l6 to l with enforced legal tender quail
ity. / adhere to the Indianapolis plat
form. l am Cleveland democrat, and /
believe that if the party had adhered to
the policy of the Wilson bill and sound
money it would have succeeded in the
presidential election of 1896, and would
have controlled the government now. Its
folly was to commit itself to the Chicago
platform in 1896 in opposition to sounder
opinions: 1t was dominated by mere re-
sentiments and was unconsciously dishon-
est, as it proposed to revolutionize and
Mexicanize the standard values of the
United States.
81 beg you to be assured that no sound
money democrat can under any circum-
stances, in my judgment, vote for any
representative man who is not in favor of
sound, honest money. l will vote for
Isaac R. Mills, the republican candidate
for congress in the Seventeenth Illinois
district, on the issue Of sound money, as
we have no candidate Of our own.

Opinion of an Eminent Jurist.

Ballot reform in New York was neces-
sary, says an eminent jorist, because mere
politicians by trade, who had no interest In
government or politics except to enrich and
aggrandiZe themselves, sought perpetual
control There are other excellent reforms
beside that of the ballot. Conspicuous
among them is the reform in a disOrdered
physical system by HOstetter's Stomach Bit
tiers, which cOunteracts tendencies to serious
disease bred by deficiency of vital stamina,
irregularty of the bowels, stomach, liver or
kidneys. and ipquietude of the nerves.
This sterling medicine, which has for near
ly half century won popular favor, not
only for its excellent qualities in remedial
capacity, but also for its serviceable proper
ties as medicinal stimulant.
