NOMINATIONS MADE BY THE SAUSAGE CON
GLoMERATIoN AT SOU TIL HAVEN.

The county ticket thatwill not be elect
ed is in nomination. 1t will bear the name
of democratic people union silver tick
ct" and is made up as follows:
For sheriff -John III. Everest of Pine
Grove.
-Burdette Sisson of South
Haven.
register-N. w. Drake of Bangor.
treasurer-A. III. Campbell of Mat
tawan.
prosecutor-A. Lynn Free of Paw
Paw.
circuit court commissioners-Thos
Dorgan of Gobleville and w. II. Ma
son of Paw Paw.
coroners Elijah Warner of Porter
and VIM. Jessup of Decatur.
AS to personality, the ticket is good
one, although not, as the Courier states
"the very best that was ever placed IL
nomination in the county," but il
does not represent the right kline
of politics to be acceptable to the
voters of Van Buren, county.
The making up of the sausage was al
interesting operation. The hall at Souti
Haven was filled full of the various
brands of cheap moneyites. Two call
for county conventions were read, on
silver and one democratic. A resolution
was introduced by L. j. Cavanaugh, ad
iourning the two above named conven
tions. and reassembling all under tn
democratic people's-union-silver name.
When the report of the committee o.
credentials was presented, 1t showe
that several townships had three delega
tons present, the populist in addition t
the two above named. After quite
spirited discussion, all were seated,
spite of the fact that such action gave
much larger representation to som
townships than was warranted by the
votes.

II Is always with vague regret that
we read the sagas and are thrilled py
the vikings exploits. II seems as IL the
leeds of daring had gone by forever,
and as if the heroes of the deep were

Morse romance, we forget that the vlk-
ings were only pirates, and that they
dared for slaughter and for booty. IL
the Gloucester of today had only existed
then, what heroic saga would 1t not

or riches OF rescue or love is in the
heart of every man TO do, but TO FISK

RESOLUTIONS.

Resolved: LIST, We pledge our support
to silver under any and all banners, and
ask the cooperation of republicans VINO
think more of principle than OF party.
ID. We condemn the policy OF Gage
of borrowing money to deposit with the
horks while we have two hundred million
of gold in the treasury.
I'd. We are not satisfied with re-
publican prosperity which with 227,OOO
men in the field, an expenditure OF one
million dollars per day does not check
falling prices.
4th. We condemn the party in power
in Michigan for being dishonest with the
people, while endorsing Pingree verbally
thew condemn him by sending his worst
enemies from this county to give him q
nomination-nit.
9th. We are in favor of equal taxa
ton that means equal taxation.

the state of Michigan and of the United
States has refused to assent to laws tn

public good, even when petitioned to a.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can try
it who has lame back or weak kid
news. malaria or nervous troubles. We
mean he can cure himself right away by
taking Electric Bitters. This medicine
tones up the whole system, acts as slim,
ulant to the liver and kidneys, is blood
purifier and nerve tonic. 1t cures con
stipation, headache, fainting spells, sleep
lessness and melancholy. 1t is purely
vegetable, mild laxative, and restores
the system to its natural vigor., Try

Dog Tax Complications in Germany

Dog taxes are giving trouble 10 Ger
man military men. The Herzog Karl of
Mecklenburg-S trelitzinfantry regiment
No. 40 enjoys the distinction OF be-
ing the only regiment in the German
army whose bass drum is drawn in a
little cart by dogs. 1t won the honor
by It's gallantry in the war of 1865
against Austria, when it captured the
bass drum and cart of an Austrian regi-
ment. 1t refused to pay a tax on the
dogs at Konigsburg, on the ground
that they were useful and not luxury
but was compelled TO pay, as the law
gives full power to tax all dogs to the
| local authorities.

The supervisors slate was busted.
H. A. Cole made fine run for nomi-
nation for register.
The old soldiers are represented on the
the ticket by big D.
The only place given on the ticket to
the x-republicans was register.
DR.. Maynard showed himself to be a
Northerner reader by telling the conven-
ton it was "a fine looking sausage"
Peter Dillman said he would be salts
isfied to be register after Drake had been
in Office four years. That is long time
in the future, Peter.
II. r. Cook was temporary chairman
b. p. Bryan temporary secretary; the
permanent officers were L. Cavanaugf
and w. f. Thresher.
VIII. Milar referred to the silver move
ment as making the thrones OF DIES
potism totter," and policy that woul'
"build up a republic worthy OF tn
name" Whew!
1t was funny to hear Chairman Cav
anaugh introduce the candidates as TN
next sheriff, "the next clerk" etc.
sounded good to the delegates, even
Tom didn't believe it.
In nominating speech, l.. a. Iabo
said republican supervisors used to &c

the popocratic supervisors did this yea
The convention tried to nominate cal

do it. V. II. Dilley of Geneva and w.
Wildey of Paw Paw each received hall
