BREAK THE RECORD.
Largest Republican Majority
In Ten Years.

Brockway Republicans believe that
anything that is worth doing is worth
doing we'll and so on Monday last they
donned their war paint and proceeded
to pile up the largest majorities given
to any township ticket in ten years.
The Democratic managers seemed to
conclude that the time was ripe for
them to scoop in the principal places
on the ticket and so they gave all pop
ocratlc, silverite and other off-shoots Il
cold shake, and proceeded to place in
nomination none but simon-pure DEM
ocrats. But the dream of supremacy
has vanished. Our republicans still
stand by true-blue republicans. They
have again piled up the largest majori-
ty of any township or ward in the
county for the county and state ticket.
and gave every candidate on the town
ship ticket larger majority than had
been given to any one candidate during
the past ten years, a most remarkable
record in local politics.
Another remarkable feature was the
evident good hard sense displayed by
the electors of all the parties in their
strong support of the amendment for
an additional Circuit Judge, the vote
standing 3lS Yes, to II No, majority
of 247.
The following is the vote in detail:-

Tuesday Evenings Concert.

The Apollo Quartette, a combination
of singers from Port Huron and Marine
City, gave fairly good entertainment
at Central Hall in this village last
Tuesday evening.
Bert Mustard, formerly Yale boy,
was among them and came pretty
nearly being the whole show, although
the second bass, Mr.. Logan, of Marine
City, showed very good voice. The
lady elocutionist, Miss Hueber, was
hardly up to the expectations of the
audience, as we have Yale talent that
is very evidently her superior. Miss
Waterworth is very fair pianist, but
her contortions at the piano were hard
ly justified by the quality of music fur
nished. Paderewsky eccentricities will
go very we'll with Paderewsky music,
but otherwise emit"
The work of the quartette ensemble,
was, for the most part good but the
solos were rendered with too much at
tempted operate flourish and delivery
to be exactly suited to the occasion.
1t is all very we'll to listen to grand
opera with "a libretto before you which
has the words and score for your as
sistance in comprehending the compost
ton, but for an ordinary occasion like
the one In question, and particularly
with the performers in question, SIM
pier melodies with words that could
be more easily understood, would have
been much more appreciated. The
first and second tenors hardly arose
above mediocrity and we would never
dream of advising the young gentle
men to waste any valuable time with
vocal music. Mr.. Mustard has a really
line voice and barring accident or mis-
fortune will make his mark as singer.
1t is not our desire to criticise un-
kindly, any company that may come
here to entertain our people, but
rather to speak fairly and truthfully
the impressions we may have of these
who appear here in professional way
to entertain for a consideration.
Yale has some very good local tai
ent, which is always on hand to give
its services for any public benefit or
charity, and we naturally expect some
thing a little better than they can do
when we pay our money solely for the
sake of being entertained.

A Clever Trick.

1t certainly looks like it, but there is
really no trick about it. Anybody can
try it who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right
away by taking Electric Bitters. This
acts as a stimulant to Liver and Kid,
neys, is blood purifier and nerve tonic.
1t cures Constipation, Headache, Faint
ing Spells, Sleeplessness and Melan-
choly. 1t is purely vegetable, mild lax
ative, and restores the system to its
natural vigor. Try Electric Bitters and
be convinced that they are a miracle

Paterson, N J.. Oct. 31.-The follow,
ing statement of the origin and devel-
opment of the illness of Vice President
Hobart is authorized by his family ana
by the physicians who have attended
him:
There are several reasons why the
exact nature of the vice presidents
malady has been withheld from the
public. In the first place, the family
have desired to reserve TO itself the
privilege Of retaining such facts as
were of a private nature, at the same
time recognizing the right of the public
to accurate information in the case pf
an invalid holding high public otszfe-
Moreover, there were reasons connect-<
ed with the vice presidents relations
with the government which prompted a
similar policy.
This was done. however. not for the
purpose of secrecy, but to avoid en-
barrassments- In addition, the effecr
of publicity upon the vice presidents
health had to be considered He was q
diligent reader of the newspapers. and
it was observed that the Alarming re-
ports which crept into the papers and

reason il YVES deemed advisable to keep
