POLITICAL HOT SHOT.
"Reformers" Appealing for
Democratic Help.

Last week Nick Hayes, OF Green
wood township, received an express
package of 100 copies of the Search
| Light Also "a nicely worded letter ask
| ing his aid 20 help smash the republican
machine. This was signed by reformer
| Cyrus \. Hoyey and attorney Geo. c..
Moore, aud thereby hangs a tale. Nick
has long been leading democrat and
prominent in the cOunsels of that party.
! AS such he came In contact with Iloyey
when he was an ilice.holding democrat
aud out 60 smash the republican party.
! lloyey's appeal was natural result OF
party association. But 10 fell on deaf
ears. Nick says that he helped Hoyey
as a democrat and perhaps he gave
Attorney Geo. G.. Moore aid and com
fort In his efforts 90 elect O'l}rien j.
Atkinson, a democrat, Circuit Judge
two years ago. But he don't care TO
join their ranks as q performer" OF re.
publicaus merely 20 build a new ma
chine.
The "refOrmers" want Co smash the
republican organization because of the
nominations 10 has made. Electors
may we'll consider the list:
sam ". Vance, Circuit Judge, two
terms.
Frank Whipple, Circuit Judge, APP
pointmeut aud nomination
y. T.. Thomas. Circuit Judge.
T.. +. Law, Circuit Judge, appoint
meut.
Harvey Tappan, Circuit Judge, app

And yet the machine is bad-very
bad. IL would be all right had it given
these places 20 Boxers" and reform
ers.'
Who eyer heard that Cyrus A. Hovey,
reformed democrat and reformer of re-
publicans or Attorney George e.. Moore
had grievance against the machine
until IL failed 10 recognize their claims
for preferment and appoint one of
them Circuit Judgeg
The Search-Light raises n yell be-
cause an act of the legislature recon-
structed the Jury Commission. The
Pingree Commission. composed of Fred
Gooding, Sid McLouth, and other
BOXERS" consisted OF but four men,
bers. The new bill dropped these out
and provided for larger board, neces-
sary TO represent all parts of the
county. The new members are all
honorable men. The fault finding is a
BOXERS" kick-nothing more.
Some OF the reform" speakers are
saying that they don't want Office.
They insist that they are spending time
and some ones money 20 rid the county
OF the present oflice-holders. The cleo
tors will know how honest they are In
this claim when the County Convention
convenes. Watch the roll call for can
didates. One of them wants 20 be Cir
cult Judge i'm place of Judge Law or
Tappan. Another Prosecuting Attor-
ney, etc, etc.
One OF the ants who was "Boxer"
makes the statement that JOS. Walsh
Is candidate for Congress. The state.
ment is untrue. lie is not a candidate
and will not be a candidate. The st.
Clair county organization is friendly
10 Weeks. II any - Clair county man
receives its support. IL is more than
probable that Il will go 10 General
Hartsuff.
Saved From an Awful Fate.
