OFFICIAL PAPER OF CITY AND COUNTY.
Owosso. MICH, FRIDAY, JULY 30. 1898.
Strength in Union.

1t Is intimated that the republican con.
gressional convention for this district will
be held on or about August 16, or at most,
not much more than three weeks hence. 1t
Is also said that the Clinton county delega-
ton will come to the convention solidly In
support of the nomination OF w. A. Norton,
of that county. Mr.. Norton Is said to be a
very good campaigner, and is lawyer by
profession.
Just how Shiawassee county stands Is not
known, but 1t is said that there will be a
disposition to support the Clinton county
nominee Mr.. fitzpatrick Is said to have
some following for the nomination. Tus-
cola county has no ambitious son this year,
and the delegation is said to favor the nOmi-
nation of Joseph w. Fordney, of Saginaw.
1t is recognized that while some other
county Is really entitled to the nomination,
that In order to ensure the defeat of Mr..
Brucker, 1t will be necessary to nominate
Saginaw county man.
And 1t may be added In this connection
that it will take a strong Saginaw county
man to defeat Mr.. Brucker. He Is what Is
known as shifty politician, can trim his
sails to any breeze, and is ready, judging
from his past record, to throw convictions
to the winds for the sake of votes. He has
been Grover Cleveland's referee, has been
Don M. Dckinson's henchman, has been
for the gold standard and for free silver.
He is as resourceful as he Is politically un-
scrupulous.
The nomination of a republican candidate
from this county depends upon the attitude
of the Saginaw delegation. If this delega-
ton Is solidly in favor of some one man,
that man will be nominated, for the reason
that the Tuscola and Saginaw delegations
united can name the nominee of the con-
vention. But if Saginaw cannot agree, it is
idle to expect that Tuscola or any other
county will take up the quarrel of the re-
publicans of Saginaw. Hence divided
Saginaw delegation means that the nomina-
ton will 20 outside of Saginaw county, and
In the opinion of shrewd political observers,
very likely to result in the reelection of the
present incumbent.
1t Is pertinent to calmly consider this
proposition, and inquire II the republicans
In the eighth district can afford to be mis-.
represented In the national house Of repre-
sentatives by mere political trimmer hav-
Ing no settled convictions, and who has
accomplished nothing during his incum-
bency of benefit to his constituents.
1t would seem to be the wise thing for
the republicans of Saginaw to unite upon a
single candidate, and therefore ensure sue
cess In the convention and at the polls.
Several gentlemen in this city have been
mentioned in connection with the nomina.
ton, but at this moment 1t is not known
that more than one Is actually In the race

for the nomination. Joseph w. Fordney
has given out that he would like the noml.
nation and will use all honorable efforts to
secure the same. This is manly thing to
do. He is not an Office seeker, but has
yielded to the persuasion of legion of per-
sonal and political friends. he is known
as one of the foremost and most respected
business men in the community, and is an
honorable and highly esteemed citizen he
Is extensively engaged In manufacturing, Is
a large employer of labor and is very popu.
lar with his employees and, In fact, with all
who know him He is what is known as a
hustler, and will make things hum from
start to finish, in the event of his nomina'
ton. In the house Of representatives he
would be credit to his constituents.
On the other hand, 1t is essential this
year that the nominee be able to not only
poll large party vote, but pull heavily
. from the democratic side. 1t is well
known fact that hundreds of democrats are
just aching to even up old scores against
Mr.. Brucker. and they will not vote for him
il the republicans put up candidate who
Is satisfactory to them. 1t is alleged that
Mr.. Fordpey will pull more democratic
votes than any other candidate who will be
named for official position In Saginaw coun-
ty. If democratic votes are needed the
nomination of Mr.. FOrdney will assure
them, and there would seem to be no valid
reason why every republican In the county
should not support him.
The name of Hon. Emory Townsend has
been mentioned as a candidate, and, while
he is worthy and is being urged forward, so
far as known he has not definitely decided
to make the race for the nomination. He
has many friends In Saginaw county, but
the assertion is also made that he will not
be able to command the support of the solid
delegation from this county to the congress
sional convention. With Tuscola, Clinton
and Shiawassee supporting some other can.
didate, the nomination of Mr.. Townsend
does not at this moment seem feasible, and
It is not believed that he would sacrifice his
business interests to his ambition to go to
congress. He Is comparatively young
man, and is growing in the party, and al
some date In the future his ambition will
doubtless be gratfied. 1t is denied by the
intimate friends of Mr.. Townsend that he
has put forth any effort whatever to secure
the nomination. In fact, as stated, he has
not announced his intentions on the subject
at all.
The names of two or three others have
also been given out, but no authoritative an
nouncement has been made of their inten-
ton to make the race for the nomination.
In this view of the existing conditions II
would seem to be the proper caper for the
republicans of Saginaw to get together on
this question and 20 into convention solidly
for Joseph w. Fordney. who it is conceded
can get the support of enough outside dele
gates to ensure his nomination. And the
nomination of Mr.. Fordney will result in
the election of republican member of con-
gress in this district. Saginaw Courier

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS

to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the CALIFORNIA FIe SYRUP
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the Importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. AS the
genuine Syrup Of Figs is manufactured
by the CALIFORNIA Ere SYRUP Co.

assist one in avoiding the worthless
limitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the CALI
FoRNIA FIe SYRUP Co. with the medi-
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company guaranty

RYAN NEAR BOULDER,

The Outlaw frcm Kokomo 10 Reported to
Have Been Seen Near Eldora.
According to report brought to Sher'

"Pug" Ryan, the notorious outlaw who
recently escaped from Kokomo after a
bloody encounter with officers there, in
which two officers and two of the gang
of outlaws were killed, is now in
hiding somewhere in this vicinity.
The report was brought here by L. c.
Mace, who stated that miners wife at
Hessie. near Eldora, recognized Ryan in
a man who called at her cabin for food.
She had formerly boarded Ryan at
Breckenridge and recognized him be.
yond doubt at glance. She at once
notified the marshal at Eldora who be-
gan search wieh bloodhounds. What
makes the case the stronger is the fact
that Ryan was supposed to be headed
tor this part of the state. 1t is strongly
probable that he is still in this vicinity.

publican leaders this afternoon were an.
moved at statement that the president
had decided not tc appoint commission
to investigate the war blunders. This
decision was reached, it is stated, te
cause the president considered that the
charges were purely malicious.
Up until this afternoon the president
has been receiving letters and kilograms
from prominent men OF all political
parties thanking him for taking s'eps to
ascertain the responsibility for the con-
ditions prevailing in the military camps
at Santiago and in the United States.
So appalling have these conditions be.
come that it was stated that Mckinley
had decided to sacrifice Alger and probe
the matter to the bottom.
Secretary Alger attempted to clear
himself of blame by shifting it upon the
administration
The president has been receiving
private advices that the conditions at
Camps Thomas and AJger were no bet
ter than at Santiago. The condition Of
the troops reaching Camp Wykoff is
pitiful in the extreme. The men are
weak and emaciated and are scarcely
able to stand. Upon disembarking many
of the men are delirous and frantlcaly
call for food and drink. They are torne
and dragged along by comrades
scarcely stronger than themselves This
story is true of the 22d Massachusetts,
which has just arrived. One halt of the
7Ist New York we're unable to disern
bark. The filth of the men is terrible.
With all this misery, adequate pro.
visions are lacking and the men brought
on the Olivette this morning will have to
lie unprotected until the new hospital is
finished or until tents are brought from
New York.
