ALGER'S ESTIMATE.
Governor Bliss is Not Weak
Man.
Present Governors Record Good
One-An Economical Ad-
ministration.

Gov. Bliss enemies, unable success
fully to disparage the honorable con-
duct Of his Office, have sought to Gre
ate prejudice against him by assert
ing that he is weak
A terse, sharp, vigorous reply comes
from General Alger, who, from long
acquaintance, is peculiarly qualified
to pass judgment on the governors
characteristics.
A letter from the new senator to
Detroit Journal says:
The constant talk Of the weakness
of Coy. Bills, our candidate for govern
or, has led me to make a statement
that should, think be carefully cen
sidered by every voter in the state
The governor was bornin New York
resided on farm, and at a very ear
ly age was thrown upon his own re-
sources, having no aid from others.
He enlisted as private in Co. ID, 10th
New York Cav, was promoted to be
first lieutenant, and later to be cap
tain for bravery on the field of battle.
He served four years and five months
He came to Michigan in 1865 and
went into the lumber business and
that without means. He has amassed
a handsome fortune, has always been
most generous with his money, his
pocketbook and front door being al
ways open to those who need help.
Officially he served as alderman. on
the board of supervisors in his city
and county, term in the state SEN
ate, one term in congress, has serv-
one term as governor of the state of
Michigan, and the records will show
that his administration has been one
of constant hard work by the execut-
i've, economical and well conducted
Why should man with such re-
cord be called weak?

A TRAGIC DEATH
Lewis w. ChattertOn Took His
Own Life.
lie Was Son-in-la,v of wm. j. Ant
clin-Latter Appointed Admin
istrator of Estate

Lewis w. Chatterton who commit
ted suicide near McCords recently
was son-in-law of VIM. j. Antcliff,
residing mile east of this city in
Orleans.
Mr.. Antcliff was appointed special
administrators of the estate left by
the deceased which will come up for
a hearing in the probate court in
Grand Rapids Nov.7th.
The death of Mr.. Chatterton was
tragic indeed he was only % years of
age, and owned farm near Nc Cords.
He was a married man and leaves,
besides his young widow, two little
girls, aged respectively, 3 years and
year. A younger brother liyed with
him and was present when the tragedy
resulting in his death took place.
Chatterton had been sick for some
time with some kind of malaria fever,
and after his partial recovery seemed
for several days despondent and far
from his natural self. His brother
kept close watch of him, fearing he
would try to take his own life. Friday
afternoon Chatterton got out his
shaving materials, as if making pre-
parations to shave. He then sudden
ly and without warning stepped to a
mirror and drew the razor blade across
his throat from ear TO ear. The broth
er sprang forward to prevent him, but
Chatterton kept him off by stabbing
at him with the open razor. Chatter
ton also made several other futile
efforts to cut himself again, and then
throwing the razor aside stepped
through the open door and started
across the road. About six rods from
the house he dropped dead. The es-
tate is valued at about $l100.
To-day" the Pioneer Penny Pa
per, of Detroit, began its third year
on Wednesday, Oct. /, with sixteen
page edition that showed how firm a
hold To-Day" has already secured
upon the advertisers of the city and
the country. The paper passed the
10000 mark in circulation before it
was two years old, and now stands in
the list of the first hundred American
dailies.

There is but very little interest in
political matters manifested so far
this fall especially in the Democratic
circles, meetings are poorly attended
and the blasts of oratory usually hot

ers. This was evidenced at the demo-
cratic meeting held in the Opera
House Monday night.
The Grand Rapids Herald had the
following to say relative to the meet
ing: "Myron H. Walker of Grand
Rapids and Judge A. B. Morse of
Ionia held the boards at the opera
house Monday night and opened the
Democrat campaign here. There was
no enthusiasm, however, to "open"
apparently. About 100 persons con-
gregated to hear the old chaff re-
threshed and portion of the audi

issues" was the topic and so palpably
weak were the arguments advanced
that some of the listeners left the hall
before the conclusion of the meeting.
The meeting had been well advertised
and a great effort had been made to
assemble the faithful but the meeting
was rank frost and Republican ma
iorities will be increased on account
