THE BEST IN AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.

THE BEST IN AMERICAN CITIZENSHIP.
From the Bellevue Gazette
Mr.. Ferry represents the best in Amer
lean citizenship, and all that is upright
and honorable in business life. Among
the farmers of our great agricultural
state his name has for half a century
been hailed as synonym of honor and
integrity, and as his interests are iden-
teal with theirs, their votes would be
cast with feeling of perfect confidence.
Among business men there is likewise a
feeling of security, because of his correct
business methods that would unite all
interests along this line. He would be
no experiment from any point of view,
but tried and true friend to all classes
and all conditions demanding good gov
eminent. Naturally dignified in bearing,
although exceedingly courteous and af-
fable, he would at all times honor his
high station and creditably represent
his state.

Republican county Convention.

There will be republican county con
vention at the village of South Haven,
on the 9Th day of June, 1900, at IL o'clock
in the forenoon, for the purpose OF elect
ing ii delegates to the state nominating
convention hereafter to be called, and IA
delegates to the congressional nomi-
mating convention to be held in Benton
Harbor, June ID, 1900, and IA delegates
to the senatorial nominating convention
hereafter to be called, and for the trans
action of such other business as may
properly come before it.

The republican caucuses in Van Buren,
county ought to be well attended, and
we hope to see the governorship made an
issue in every one of the townships.
Every republican voter should attend
the caucus in his own township, and
there express his choice as to the repub-
lican candidate. In Paw Paw township,
every Stearns adherent will be out, and
no effort will be spared to secure dele
cation in his favor. We presume it is so
in other townships. The Ferry people
should be wide awake, and all in the
caucuses. If the caucuses are full, no
republican can have any occasion to find
fault with the result, but will be in duty
bound to abide by the will of the major
ity. In no town should the matter be
permitted to go by default The Northern.
er has not the slightest doubt that, with
fully attended caucuses in the townships,
the county convention will be over
whelmingly in favor of Mr.. Ferry and
will send solid delegation to the state
convention.

In very expressive cartoon of McKin-
ley and Bryan, the former drawing up
the stars and stripes while the latter is
applying the AK vigorously to the flag
pole, Judge represents Uncle Sam as
asking the citizen the following ques-
ton: do you want man who, having
raised the stars and stripes on our new
possessions, will maintain them with
dignity, or man who will cut down old
glory and make us the laughing stock of
the world?" The citizen will not be slow
to decide in November, and the decision
will not make us the laughing stock of
the world. Where the American flag
goes up, the people are unwilling that it
should ever come down.

THE nearer the time comes for the con
vention for choosing delegates to the
state convention, the more does the
Northerner become convinced that dele
cation should represent this county that
is solid for some candidate for the COVER
norship. IL the majority of the repub-
Gcans of the county are for Ferry, then
let the delegation be for Ferry. If the
majority be for Bliss or Stearns, then le.
the delegation be solid for one of those
gentlemen. We very much dislike to
see colorless delegation go to the state
convention this year, only to climb into
the band wagon after the other coun-
ties of the state have secured the credit
of achieving the nomination of the sue
cessful candidate. Van Buren, county
ought to have its full share in the max
ing of the next governor of Michigan.
We are firmly of the opinion that a big
majority of the republicans of the county
are for Ferry, and if that is true every
one of the II delegates should be Ferry
man.
