GOLD DEMOCRATS
In SAGINAW VALLEY
POSTMASTER LINTON SAYS
THERE ARE AS MANY
AS IN 1896.

Thinks Good Roads Will Have to Pre-
cede Furture Free Rural Delivery.
There are as many gold democrats
in the Saginaw valley as ever" said
Postmaster w. S. Linton yesterday as
he journeyed through the city on mis- way
to Port Puron, whittier he was bound
to attend the good roads convention.
They do not feel any different now
about the money question than they
did then, and will vote for president
Mckinley If the Kansas City platform
sticks to the 16 to idea. We, of Sagi-
nav, like the outlook for victory there
this year. Congressman Fordney ought
to win handily, although he will have
either Wellington r. Burt or Mayor
Baum as his opponent.
"The rural delivery plan is bound to
become popular and will result in an
increased trade for the cities, believe.
We shall soon have eight routes running
out of Saginaw, and the eight carriers
will cover 200 miles every day. They
will become in sense, express agents
and do the farmers errands and save
him time. 1t may work hardship or
the smaller country merchants, but II
is simply following the tendency of the
times to do away with the middle man
81 think that there will be some
understanding after while that there
will be no free delivery until the farm
ers build good roads through the section
where such delivery is wanted "-Detroi

force their way thru the ice was far from

tiou of Observation-Disclosures of

Against Political Influence - The
Troops to Remain in the Island.

ing Yesterday. Considerable attention was
paid to the consideration Of the kind OF
men who should be chosen to fill the ad-
ministratiye and judicial offices provided

Cabinet officer, after the meeting, that 1t
is to be the policy OF the Administration to
select only such men for positions in the
Porto Rican government as are thoroughly
fitted for them. Qualification. it is said, is
to count as against political backing.
The bill was read and considered care
fully. 1t was decided not to withdraw the
United States troops now stationed there.
The President and his advisers believe that
there is likely to be trouble as soon as
prosperity returns to the island.
Natives from the neighboring Islands. II
Is thought. will be attracted by good times,
and their appearance will be the signal for
outbreaks similar 70 that which occurred
last week in which British subject and a
native Porto Rican were killed.
General Davis will remain in Porto Rico
in command OF the troops probably for sew
eral months yet He. however. may be or
dered home immediately to confer with the
President and Mr.. Allen, the new Civil
Governor. but if he should be, he will re-
turn with the latter when he goes to as
sumo the duties of his office. separate
treasury will be established in the island
for the receipts and disbursement OF IN
sular revenues. The tariff duties imposed
By the new law will be collected by the
United States Government and kept in a
separate account to be turned into the
Porto Rican treasury.

ceiyed in Louisville this afternoon, it is
learned that Admiral Dewey has no present
intention Of visiting this city, and that the
