1t is necessary for every Republican
to see that the vote in every precinct
is registered and voted, as a full Re-
publican vote means success, while fail
ure to vote means defeat. The Repub-
licans lost the election in 1884 simply
by the failure of few thousand voters
in New York state to cast their ballots,
because they were sure Of success. That
the country is overwhelmingly for the
Republican party there is not the
slightest doubt, but it is necessary for
the men who believe in Republican
principles and who are anxious to con-
tinue the Mckinley prosperity to get
to the polls. 1t is also necessary to
vote the straight Republican ticket, so
as to carry Congress; also the state
Legislatures which elect the United
States Senators.

The contemplated advance in insur-
ance rates, is taking on broader scope
than was originally intended. When
the matter was first agitated it was
thought that the reduction of 10 per
cent, in Michigan rates, which occurred
a couple Of J ears ago, would be restored
but, after careful consideration OF the
matter by the managers of Western in
surance companies and agencies, it was
decided to make the advance general
scope, so as to cover the entire West.
The matter is now in the hands OF a
committee, which has asked each com
pany and agency within the jurisdic.
tion ia the Union to send Ia a statement
OF the receipts and losses of each partic-
ular class of insurance during the past
five years and, as soon as these reports
are tabulated. new schedule OF rates
will be promulgated, based on the act
ual cost Of carrying the insurance and
per cent, added for profit. 1t is not
thought that residences, churches
school houses, or public buildings will
be changed, but all other class OF prop
erty will undoubtedly be raised from 6
10 20 per cent.

This from the Saranac Advertiser Is
good sensible talk and is heartily en-
dorsed by the BANNER and commended
to your thoughtful consideration. 1t
says: 1--WE wish to call the attention
OF the Republicans Of Boston, and the
same thing may be true in other town
ships, to the fact that for number OF
years the Democrats have cast more
straight votes in this township than
the Republicans have. Why is this?
Simply because our Republicans have
attempted to trade some one on their
ticket for some one on the other ticket.
Is this fair? If you was the nominee OF
your party would you not expect the
support of your party? There is no
more reason for cutting candidate for
coroner than for president, the same
principle should govern in both cases.
The opposition talk trade all right
enough, but when the votes are count
ed they are all straight for their party
nominees. Let the Republicans try
this plan on the 9th day OF November
and let one cross at the top be the only
mark on your ticket. Our nominees
are all good men and it is your duty to
support them.

The Louisiana populists havs Do

this campaign. The reason they give

among other things, that I'VE con-
slider the paramount issue 70 the
Louisiana cotton planters-nostly

that they should join their brethren,

Ing Last Thursday Evening.
A magnificent success fifty describes
the republican gathering OF last Thurs
day evening to do honor to our able
and beloved Congressman VIM. Alden
Smith. Cannon doomed, the band
played, fireworks and red fire were
touched off and the rough riders upon
their prancing steeds paraded made
fine appearance. An immense crowd
was upon the street, less than one
fourth OF whom were able to gain ad-
mission to the opera house. On the
stage were Hon. Dan Mccoy, the re-
publican candidate for state treasurer
and his wife, j. X. V. Agnew and wife
and Mrs. Smith of Grand Rapids, Mrs.
Mccall OF Boston, Mass, Col. E. S.
Pierce OF Washington, ID. c., also sew
eral gentlemen from Ionia and Green
Vile.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Francisco. The rough riders
sang their song and gave their yell.
The republican glee club: w. d. Bal
lou, w. B. Reed, Elmer Winger and
Schuyler Smith sang a selection and
the chairman then introduced Mr. Geo.
E. Nichols of Ionia, the next state sen.
ator from this district, who proceeded
to pour some pretty hot shot into the
columns OF the opposition.
Mr.. Smith followed and made one OF
the finest campaign speeches ever heard
in this city. 1t was fair, honest and
mastery presentation of the issues and
was received with careful attention.
1t was clean; there was no mud throw
ing but he sharply arraigned the dem
ocratic party regarding their past rec
ord and future promises. He compared
the histories OF the two parties on the
money question and reviewed the stand
taken on the matter of fostering and
promoting commerce and the business
interests of the country. He showed
how commerce has extended under the
republican plan OF protection, and
called attention to living example OF
its benefit right here in this city, as our
silks are beginning to find foreign
market. Mr. Smith took tin plate 10 IL
lustrate the benefits to American in
dustry and labor from the protective
tariff. Before tariff was placed on
tin the American people were sending
$40, 100000 year to Wales for their
tin plate and the Welshmen received
the benefit. BY the Protective policy
the tin plate industry was established
in this county and now American work
ingmen and farmers were getting the
benefits of the millions formerly sent
to Wales, and you are getting it cheap
err than you did the Wales article too.
MIR. Smith was frequently interrupted
by bursts OF hearty applause as he
made telling points and at the close
many pressed forward, to grasp his
hand. Bedding is solid for Smith Nov 6.
