People who are fond of stir and ex-
element are asking why the real ac-
tive campaign, the one of meetings,
brass bands, parades, fireworks, etc, is
so late in getting started this year
four years ago we were right in the
midst of it at this time Well, the fact
of the matter is it is too one sided to
cause much stir. Four years ago we
were confronted by Few and untried
issue and 1T was campaign of educa-
tion. Subsequent events have proved
beyond a possibility Of a doubt the
correctness OF the Republican doc
trines. The voters are not blind, they
have seen these things The only dan
ger that confronts the Republican par
ty at this time is that over confidence
and consequent carelessness in failing
to get out and vote on election day
There will be meetings in Bedding and
elsewhere, Of course, but 1T will simply
be following the custom, the people are
for Mckinley. 1T was expected to
have Dolliver Of Iowa here for the
'big" meeting but we may fail in this

Ia desired to have him put in all the

all the positions excepting one, that of
prosecuting attorney, is easy. Sheriff
Moon, Clerk Lawless and Register
Goodwin will be renominated for Sec
ond terms. Hon. VIM. O. Webster is
the unanimous choice of the party for

would not be possible. But for prose-
cutting attorney there is lively con-
test. VIM. X. Clute and Henry j. Hor-
rigan of Ionia have been making an
active canvass among their friends for

bright and rising young attorney has
also entered the race, making it three

platform adopted at Philadelphia says:
1--WE condemn all conspiracies and
combinations intended to resprict busi-

Army Transportation.

There has been great deal Of con-
fusion in the accounts Of army trans

partment, TO the carelessness of com
handing officers in distant depart
ments In not furnishing soldiers with
the proper documents indicating their
destination and the occasion Of their
transportation. An officer travelling
with three or more men is considered
travelling with troops. and the quarter
masters department will furnish the
transportation. The chief quartermas-
tiers will judge of the necessity OF
transportation by government ship or
by commercial line. In the Philip
pines every soldier sent to Manila must
hereafter be accompanied by docu-
ments from his command necessary to
account for his presence In the city
