ENTHUSIASM AT PlTTSVIlLE.
The County Candidates Royalty Receved-A
Well Attended Meetnu.

The PittSville Pilot, an independent
paper. comes out bodily this wear in
support the county and state tickets
This is what it says concerning the
Republican rally recently held in that
city:
The first gun in the present cam:
paign was fired last Saturday nignt
when the Hon. T. A. Cady, member of
Assembly from our district spoke to a
crowded house on the issues of the
| day. The meeting was opened BY
music by the Goth century Band which
was announced by the Chairman ap-
pointed for the evening, f. s. Wood
worth. After the music Mr.. Wood
worth introduced the speaker in few
we'll chosen remarks.
Mr.. Cady turned from his usual
course, in that he read his speech
from manuscript in place of speaking
off hand (as the present dying for
principle is all d rOt) side of the
campaign do not hesitate to miSrepre-
sent any and every thing where ii
is possible to do SO. Mr.. Cady called
attention to the hard times of 1892 to
impress on his audience the fact thai
to elect a democratic congressman
and democratic senator. Do you Re-
publicans want this to be done? He
also explained how the different rail-
roads are escaping their share of the
taxes of our community and he did
not go to New York or California to
get sample He took samples from
our own and adjoining counties. He
showed that the old Port Edwards
Central and Northern railroad which
sold last season for close TO half a
million never has paid over Sl65 fax
in any one year. He proved that Mr.
| LaFollette stands now as he always
has in favor of taxing them as you are
taxed He also explained the primary
| election law, a law that once tried
has never yet been repealed and law
| that is democratic TO the core and
| always has been until the present
| Milwaukee Street railroad crowd got
control Of that party. Mr.. Cady
proved cOncluSively that Mr.. LaFOl-
lette stands today where he did two
years ago and any republican who
voted for him then has not a shadow
of an excuse for not doing SO now.
You have heard David talking game
wardenS from one end of the state To
| the other. Did it ever occur to the
reader there are only % game Wardens
and that they get their salary out o1
the license fee and if there is not the
money in the fee tDt wardens are laid
off. And another thing Mr.. La,
| Toilette had no more to do with this
| law than you did but the Hon. W. {
| Villas a democrat aS you all know
helped to draft the bill. Mr.. Cady
also knocked their one mill tax argu-
ment into cooked hat as he showed
where Wood county paid $1,000 TO the
state they got back So, 900 and any
one who will take the pains to read
knows this to be the fact. After MIR.
Cady concluded Chairman Woodwork
announced that our candidate fOI
District A ttorney, Mr.. Theo. BraZeau
of Grand Rapids. and il we are per
mitted to use a little slang, he is :
cracker-jack. Here is a chance now
for the young men of the county Il
vote for a young man for a reSpOnSl ble
position and one fully qualified tt
attend tC the duties that will come
before him.
All the rest Of the county officers
were on the stage and circulated
among the crowd making aCQuaiht
ances and incidentally to pick up /
voter or two. They are all well know
with the single exception of MIR
Robert Morris Of Vesper who is /
candidate for superintendent o
, Schools and from what we can learl
of him from bis people that knew hin
he will make an A l official.
AS has been said time and again the
present county officials are etficien
and honorable men every one of thea
Our position is we'll known. We bt
lieve in keeping good men. Punlit
business should be carried on in
business way. If farmer has a goo'
hustler who is out in the morning ol
time and always at his business b.

The contrary admits of no argumel.
