What the Editors Say

according to the Collins supporters,
1r Bob Dunn receives the Republican
nomination for governor it will be
wholly due to Democratic newspaper
influence, and the Herald Review is
quite prepared to second the motion.
In ract, Ii we must submit to having
Repupl1can governor at all this pa
per is willing to assume the entire re-
sponslbflity for his nomination and
subsequent election. Now, therefore,
notlce Is hereby given, that, in the
event or successful termination of
Roberts campaign, we do hereby ten
der our services as oil inspector under
his administration, and request that
Charley Mitchell will not neglect to
duly record said tender in the book of
gratis, top Of first column on first
page.-Grand Rapids Herald Review.
Undoubtedly the boss is a power in
politics. 1t would not be too much to
say that in many cases he is the DOW
ef. The man who wants an office or
favor thinks that he must go and see
the boss about it. The standing which
ne may have in his party, or among his
nefghbors is, of course, an element to
De taken into consideration, but the
main thing is that he shall be in the
faVor Of the boss. The boss is in evil
dence everywhere. His activity is con-
fined to no particular locality, and no
department of government is free from
his influence. Theoretically we choose
our own public servants. Actually we
permit the boss to choose them for us.

j. Adam Bede made hit when he
referred to Wall street men as Popu-
lists or fiatfsts. These Wall street fell
lows had a great deal to say a few
years ago about 50-cent dollars and fiat
money and dishonesty, but they have
hooded the country with stocks that
are not worth so cents on the dollar
and have lined their pockets with mil
lions of dollars by their sale.-Todd

With the rehabiliment of Dr. Ames

To our notion John Lind would as
soon run for governor against Bob
Dunn as any other Republican in the
State-but We believe that John Lind
is satisfied where he is and that he is
not hankering after another round with
the governorship. If he was. Bob
Dunn wouldn't scare him a little bit
