The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1898-10-07

One of the most distinguished democrats
in the House. Private John Allen, of Miss,
knows something of army life and, accord
to his own words, has had much expert
ence with rations and the want of them"
He served in the Confederate army with
much ability and sympatbzes with the COM
mon soldier above everything. When the
republicans in the House at the last session
submitted proposition to increase the list
of ratioDs intended for the army, he vigor-
ously opposed the proposition. and in a
speech delivered June Goth, which attracted
considerable attention, be first inserted the
list of rations furnished to soldiers in the
field and then commented on 1t as follows:
"Wby, Mr.. Speaker, when l was a SOL
dier, this ration, cooked as we knew how to
cook, would have furnished feast more
tempting than any that could be set before
me now by Delmonico. There may be
some complaint with some of the volunteers
who have never been accustomed to army
life, but understand that the regular SOL
diers are well satisfied with their rations,
and 1t is admitted that the cOmmlssary de-
partment is opposed to this change. When
the volunteers become Injured TO camp life,
| think they will be satisfied too"

Comp etency and Experience.

These qualities are necessary in a
man who is to be county clerk of this
county, and if the candidate does not
have them he should not be elected.
The republicans have chosen a man for
clerk who possesses them-the union
silver party has chosen man who does
not possess them. Granting that both
are equally good men socially, political
ly, and in their number of friends-the
fact that one is barely voter-has
never had any experience either in pub
lie or private office-has in fact been in
exactly the opposite kind of employ
ment-should be reason enough that
even his best friends should vote for
the other candidate, whose competency
has been most thoroughly tested, whose
experience is wide on all clerical mat
tiers, and whose age and acquaintance
makes it safe to trust important mat
tiers with him.
We think it was an injustice to the
silver candidate to ask him to place him
self in this position, and an injustice to
the voters to ask them to support him.
Many openly admit that they do not
expect, and did not, to elect him, but
they took advantage of his record as a
soldier performing his duty, in an at
tempt to strengthen the ticket, without
giving him time to consider the step.
We wish him well and are proud of
his work as member of Company G,
but do not think the affairs of the courts
of this county should be entrusted to
one not acquainted with the duties, OF
to a deputy whom the people have not
chosen and who must be the real clerk
if the silver candidate is elected.
The voters of the county are consid.
ering the clerkship seriously, and as q
result Fred Edwards will have very
large majority.

Not TO Their Liking.

The nomination made by the Iepubli-
cans for prosecuting attorney does not
please the silverites-the very best
reason of his strength. He is compe-
tent man whose record as a public
official is such that voters have absolute
confidence in his ability, good judgment
and intentions to perform the duties
of the Office for the benefit of the
people as they would conduct their
own business-honestly and carefully.
His success in all classes of cases
shows his availability for the office, his
years of hard work in close circum-
stances and his present prosperous con-
dition shows his economy, and his
securing the nomination against two
popular and competent lawyers shows
that the party is prepared to elect him.
All these things do not please the silver
men. Their candidate has little to
offer in the way of record-has moth
ing to offer them as party man, hav-
ing come to the silver-democrat side
just in time to secure nomination,
and his record can be found with so
many punctures that it is not worth
time to attempt a repair. He is one
who is very solicitious-seemingly-ast to
the health of your wife and children
is ready to give advice as to how to run
your farm or store-but its slim when
it's thought of. 1t is not sympathy the
people want in the prosecuting attor-
ney-but reasonable idea of justice
and an intention to prosecute all legiti-
mate cases-but to persecute no one.
The republicans have every reason
to vote for the candidate-Frank F.
Bumps--from the standpoint of want
ing an able official and wanting no
hypocrisy in their officials, and the
very evident unanimity is pleasing to
the leaders of the party.

publicans are concerned. The county CON-
mittee is preparing to keep things humming
from this date until Nov. Chairman
Watson is arranging for the usual list of
excellent speakers and intends to leave
nothing undone to bring success to the whole
ticket. The reports from the county are of
the most encouraging nature, republicans
in every township who voted for the Bryan

working for the success of the PARTY of
progress, protection and prosperity.

BACK TO THE RIGHT.
Republicans Who Were Misled by Silver
Oratory

Republicans Who Were Misled by Silver
Oratory.
The day does not go by now that one or
more of the prominent men who were over
come by the flood of oratory and false
figures of the silver men two years ago into
believing that prosperity and good finan-
cial standing for the government could not
be brought about except through a practical
revolution of the money question, do not
come back to the place where their real in
terests are and to the side which has
brought about the present most satisfactory
condition. In fact they are ready to an
nOunce it, and we hail with delight these
open and honest statements by these men.
1t means that thousands and tens of thou
sands of republicans will be all republican
this year, and in addition, the gold demo
Gratis are as firm as ever in their determine
ton to bring their party back to the honest
side of this great question. In the greatest
state in the Union, in the financial world,
the democratic party refused to attempt to
keep up the delusion, and did not endorse
the Chicago free silver platform. These
democrats in Michigan will undoubtedly
vote the republican ticket, and by admins
tering another crushing defeat to the silver
men bring the entire party back to Its
place.
We welcome these mel in their efforts to
assist the republican party, and trust that
they may so thoroughly rout the silver men
that they will stand united party on any
and all questions where there Is some rea-
sonabe ground for a difference of opinion.
Let them make the stroke as hard as
possible by voting for the entire republican
ticket.
Let every silver-republican who has
changed his opinion openly announce his
return to the place where he belongs and
we will welcome him as well as the hun
dreds who will not announce it. but will
vote for sound money, protection and the
American flag as it now floats in victory.

The Gaulois Gives Version OF Com
missions PrOgrcSs.

Paris, Oct. 12.-The American peace
commission held a session to-day but as
usual the subjects under consideration
were not disclosed.
According to the Gaulols. the joint sitting
yesterday of the peace commissions was
devoted to an examination Of the solution
which it is possible to give 70 two qucs-
tons In the protocol.
The Philippine question, the Gaulois
adds. was discussed incidentally the Unit
ed States seeking to impose systems Of
compensations under which the United
States would claim. it Is said, the entire
group of the Philippine Islands and as
sumo their debt provided Spain guaran-
tees the Cuban debt. As to the spaniards,
it further appears. they would like the
United States to assume the Cuban debt
and to surrender to Spain all the war ma
terial in Cuba and Porto Rico
The discussion among the commissioners
yesterday, still according to the Gaulo.s.
was very animated. Judge Day, the pres
ident of the American commission, and
Senior Montero Rios, the president of the
Spanish commission. having received pre-
else instructions from their respective gov
ernments, the American commissioners
say that no discussion Is possible on the
principles themselves, which. in a certain
measure, serve as the basis of the proto-
col. This first preliminary. according to
them, while being merely of provisional
nature, should be vigorously observed
They add that when Spain was overturned
at the conclusion of peace, her power in
Cuba was crushed absolutely, and in con-
sequence, Spain no longer has the right
to occupy herself about the destiny of the
Antilles islands.
To these arguments the Spaniards. the
Gaulois also says reply that the protocol
was signed at a moment so critical that
in the face Of such an imperious necessity
it cannot be considered as being ratified
by the sovereign free wish of the nation.
In this fact, they conclude exists a suffi-
cient reason to allow Of their monaco
ceptance as definite the preliminary con-
ventions relating to Cuba.
"rhe arrival, therefore. at an under
standing" says the Gaulois, offers grave
difficulties, and one asks with anxiety
how the negotiations Will eventually term
mate
In diplomatic circles here it is declared
that the conjectures of the newspapers on
the problems before the peace commissions
are not justified by facts, 1t is added that
the relations between te-s two commissions
are in no way so delicate as the news
papers Indicate.
The American commission, at o'clock
to-day, engaged in its first function out
side of purely diplomatic lines. The Fig

May BE Practically Settled.
London, Oct 12.-Lord Rosebery the
Liberal leader and former premier, presid-
ing to-day at an agricultural dinner az
Epson. referred to the critical situatiou
on the Upper Nile.
He said: There are two or three con-
siderations in connection with the ques-
ton which make IL of supreme gravity.
the greatest being that, in face of a de-
liberate warning that particular acs
would be considered an unfrendly act, that
act, in spite of great geographical diff
cuities, great hardshiDs and almost un-
surmountable obstacles, has been deliber-
aiely committed.
THE word unfriendiy' used diplomatic-
ally, is of exceptional weight and gravity.
and when used TO denote an act committed
by one government against another, the
situation is grave"
After mentioning the untenability oe
Maj March3nds isolated position, Lord
Rosebery said: These conditions lead mo
TO hope that the incident win be pacifical-
1y settled in a conciliatory manner but
France must understand that there can
be no compromise of the rights of Egypt"
