to enter the gubernational race, in order to
defeat Mr. O'Donnell. He added that he
did not believe Coy. Pingree could be de-.

the tide at the Grand Rapids convention, In
Pingrees' favor, by throwing his strength In
that direction at a critical moment Even

Just how poor the memory Of the editor
of the Argus is as to what occurred at the
Grand Rapids convention is shown by the
statement below of the balloting at that
convention for governor. At no time would
the votes cast for Mr.. O'Donnell have nomi-
mated Mr.. Bliss If they could all have gone
for him, while on the final ballot the vote

The Court House Question.

The sentiment already expressed by rep.
resentative citizens from all parts of the
county leads to but one conclusion as to
what will be the result of the vote to bond
the county for $40, 900 to build new court
house at Corunna-defeat, and that too by
a large majority. There are many reasons
for this. The matter Is not In proper
shape for an Intelligent expression of opin-
ION on the question. Before any vote Is
taken plans should be drawn and estimates
of the cost for suitable building made.
The amount of money proposed to be raised
will not erect such building as Shiawassee
county ought to have. We do not believe
the voters will seriously entertain the pro-
position In the form presented.
THE TIMES fully believes that Shiawassee
county needs new court house. We also
are equally convinced that Owosso Is the
place to build it and that the large ma
jority of the people favor the change In
location to Owosso. The discussion of and
result on the question at issue will prove
our statement to be correct.
When the time comes to erect new
court house, Owosso will be ready with a
proposition to do the handsome thing for
the county.
