CLAIM BUREAUS BUSY
Stearns, Bliss and Ferry All Pretty
Sure OF Getting the
Nomination.
CONVENTION TO LAST TWO DAYS
Gossip at Grand Rapids-Three Oaks
Ready to Do Herself Proud
Once More-State Items. ..4s,

Grand Rapids, Mich, June 27.-The
for the Republican nomination for
governor of Michigan were working
over time yesterday. 1t seems to be
generally conceded that Colonel A. T..
Bliss will lead on the first ballot, and
at his headquarters it is confidently
asserted that he will never be headed.
The managers count 2S1 for the first
ballot and say every one Of them will
stick to the bitter end. On the other
hand the Stearns people claim to be
already winning many Bliss and Ferry
delegates from the rural districts away
from their instructions, on the equal
taxation issue.
What the Ferry Men Claim.
At the Ferry headquarters 2S5 votes
are claimed as sure for Ferry on the
first ballot, and the managers have
as much confidence in their ability to
hold their pledged vote as the Bliss
people have. None Of the candidates
expects a nomination to be made very
early, and each Is relying upon gaining
the first advantage when a change In
the vote appears.
Among the other candidates Chase
s. Osborne, of the upper peninsula,
may have to be seriously considered.
He has only 63 votes pledged to him,
but he Is very popular with the I'M
pledged delegates. One thing which
hampers his programme is the fact
that the upper peninsula has five other
candidates for minor offices on the
ground, and some Of them may spoil
his plans.
Mccoy Seems to Have a Cinch.
For state treasurer, Daniel Mccoy,
Of Grand Rapids, has apparently
enough backing to give him the NOM
inatlon on the first ballot, but the 9TH
err offices are so much in doubt as to
make all predictions a mere matter Of
guess work. The state central commit
tee met last night and fixed the con-
vention preliminaries. District eau
cuses will be held at a. m. and the
convention will be called to order at
1870 a. m. Temporary Chairman
Markey will without doubt be made
permanent chairman. 1t Is probable
that no attempts at nominations will
be made until tomorrow.

Total $50, 202, 1876
These increases in federal appropriations
need no defense and but word of explana-
ton.
The amount for the Department of Agri-
culture is only proper compliance with the
natural demands of the agricultural interests
of the country.
For pensions the amount simply repre-
sents the natural increase of the pension
roll.
For the increase of the navy the excess
over the appropriations of 1898 is necessary
for the construction, armor, armament, and
equipment Of battleships, cruisers, gunboats,
and torpedo boats heretofore authorized,
and is no more than is absolutely necessary
towards placing the navy expeditiously in
the proper condition. universally demanded
by the people, for the national defense.
The largest single item of increase is that
for the postal service-$17, 7S2, 900. 1t re-
presents the progress and development Of
the times. Its very largeness is source of
congratulation.
The Twelfth census is provided for as re-
quired by the constitution, and is an ex-
pense incurred but once in ten years.
The lighthouse establishment constitutes
the chief governmental aid to the maritime
interests of the country, and the increase In
the amount for its support is to meet the
legitimate requirements of the service.
For the prevention of epidemic disease an
increase of 100000 is given, IN order to
protect the country against the introduction
of yellow fever, cholera, the bubonic plague,
aud other similar diseases.
The amount for armories and arsenals is
In order to increase the facilities of the
Springfield Arsenal, and to fully equip the
Rock Island Arsenal for the production of
small arms for the army.
For military posts the increase Is wholly
on account Of providing proper quarters for
the artillery troops in charge of our new
sescoast Notifications.
The number Of those entitled to and requir-
ing the shelter and support of the National
home for disabled volunteer soldiers, and of
State homes, annually Increases, and the
proper amount is given to this beneficent
branch of the public service.
For printing and binding there appears to
be an increase Of $3.50, 900. In fact, the &C
tnaliDcrease over the appropriations for 1898
is only $3.50, 900; for by the appropriations
made for 1899 deficiency of $500, 900 was
provided for this service on account OF the
fiscal year 1898. Much OF the actual in
crease is attributable to the increased vol
ume Of business in the Treasury, War, and
Navy departments, incident to the war with
Spain.
At the last session of congress new
government printing Office building was
authorized TO be constructed. Its total cost
will be s2,429, 900, toward which, includ-
ing the amount given this session, the sum
Of 81, 1875, 900 has been appropriated.

The little one playing beside her

twas open, strove TO see
Al the old Greek Artists story
1T paint for eternity"
So fancied all her dreaming,
I watched her serious eye'
As the 'broiderv fell from her fingers,
And she heaved heartfelt sigh.
She drew the little one nearer
And looked on the sunny face,
Swept the bright curls from the open brow,
Ana kissed 1t with loving grace.
And she thought. II too, am an artist
NV life-work here ! see;
This sweet, dear face, my hand must trace;
must paint for eternity.
But how shall blend the coiors'
How mingle the light and shade,
Or arrange the wierd surroundings
The future has arrayedf
o life, thou hast many night-falls,
And DAYS all drear that be,
But from thy darkness, marvellous grace
wilt thou evoke for me?
Alas, that am but learner!
So where shall make me wise,
Or obtain the rare old colors-
The Masters precious dyes'
must haste to the fount of beauty
Must pleadingly kneel at His feet
And crave, mid the wiser scholars
The humblest pupils seat.
Then, hand and heart together,
Some grace shall add each day;
Thus shall the face grow lustrous
With beauty that cannot decay.
NV darling God guide my pencil
And grant me vision TO see
In the light of His love without blemish or
Tn the coming eternityw [stain,
Then the mother awoke from her day dream,
Her face grew bright again,
And knew her faith was strengthened
BY more than angels ken.
Her fingers flew the faster
AS she sung a soft, low song;
1t seemed like prayer for the child so fair,
AS it thrilled the air along.
