Republicans Everywhere Rally; to the Support of
the MeKinley Administration.
16 TO 1 SILVER ISSUE DEflPER'N ii DOOR NAIL.
The People Seem to Like the Return of Prosperity and
Refuse to Turn Back.
KANSAS AND NEBRASKA QUIT POPULISM.
Michigan Overwhelmingly  Republican—Piugree  50,000  and Solid
Republican Congressional Delegation.
CONGRESSMAN   MESICK'S   SPLENDID   TRIUMPH.
Clare Comity Remains  True  to
Minor
It was a great day for republicans,
Tuesday was. From one end of the
country tb the other tbe republican
party won notable victories. Only
once before in a generation bas an administration carried bhe election in an
"off" year. But the return of prosperity was too apparent this time and tbe
free silver foolishness had bad time to
cool, so that in every precinct republicans who bad left bhe parby bwo years
ago came back into the fold. They
had bad enough of experience with a
conglomerate parby whose whole ambition seems to be to kick—kick on
good times, kick on protection and
honest money, kick on McKinley's noble efforts bo avoid war, then kick on
his wonderful and glorious «riducb of
tbe war. So the republicans got together again on Tuesday and won another splendid victory.
The most notable result ef tbe babble of the ballots is tbat the republicans secure control of tbe United
States senate. New York went republican; Delaware went republican; New
Jersey went republican; Wisconsin
went republican; North Dakota went
republican; California went republican; Indiana went republican; and in
each one of these states tbe legislature will elect a republican United
States senator to succeed a democrat.
This cooks the free silver goose. The
United States senate will be republican for years to come. Tbe silver
party, what little there is left of it,
might as well hangup its fiddle. Tbe
returns indicate that even Kansas and
Nebraska have lenounced populism
and Bryanism.
Here in Michigan it is the same old
story, only a little more so. Governor
Pingree and the whole republican
state ticket, including every one of tbe
twelve republican candidates for congress, and all bub ben or a dozen of
our 132 legislative candidates, are triumphantly elected. It was almost a
clean sweep.
Congressman Mesick is elected by
nearly, if not quite, 6,000 majority.
Tbe dirty assault made upon him by
old roan Church* (whosebrother-in-law
Was nob appointed postmaster,) gained
the congressman votes all over the dis-
mct, and his splendid record helped
Mm to others. Nichols banked on
^C>0f> majority in Gratiot county alone
the  G.   O.   P.   Except  on Three
Offices.
but Mr. Mesick comes within 9 of carrying tbe county.
Isabella county, which went pell
mell for silver two years ago, wheeled
into line tbis time and gave republican majorities averaging 500. Just
think of it!
Vernon township somersaulted into
the republican column and thus has a
share in the glorious republican victory. No town made a better showing
than Vernon.
Clare county remains true to the republican faith. There was quite a
scramble for countv offices and bhe fusion forces won out on sheriff, breasur-
er and surveyor, bub on everything
else, from governor down, the republicans have good majorities. We presume tbat our free silver friends will
jolly each other a good deal and try to
make themselves believe that they
really accomplished something, but
they needn't flatter themselves. The
result is in no sense a victory for them.
John R. Brown, John H. Richmond
and William Harper personally bave a
right to feel good over their election
against- odds, bub bhey are sensible
men and will nob bry bo claim any silver glory on accounb of a personal
fight wibhin tbe republican party,
which iesulted to their advantage.
The Sentinel regrets tbat any republican candidate was defeated, but
as it had to be. it rejoices bhat three
such good fellows as John Brown, Jchn
Richmond and "Billy" Harper are the
beneficiaries.
Tbe republicans of the city of Clare
sbood nobly by bheir principles and
their ticket and tbe city returns,
which were of course the first received,
justified the feeling of certainty which
republicans entertained early Tuesday evening, that our whole County
ticket was elected, but the rest of the
county did nob do as well, The net result is that republicans, while celebrating a magnificent victory, all along
the line, are obliged to ihingle with
their rejoicings, regrets for the defeat
of three county candidates.
But after ail, Wasn't it a great day
for republicans? They captured almost everything and thatfs glory
enough.
The SmriNEh hoped to give tabulated county returns, but owing to
some mishap the returns failed to
reach the Clare office, although.mailed.

Lots of Money and Prosperity.
One can get, somewhat of an idea of
the amount of money paid out to people of this vicinity when it is known
that just three buyers of this city bave
paid to farmers and stock raisers dur
ing the post four months, 655,500. Of
this amount A. 8. Rtaoudcs has paid,
$26,500 for wheab and Wm. Haley and
Herberb Allen, $29,000forstf>ck. These
are not bhe only ones who are buying
stock and grain here, but $55,500 is
jusb the amount 'hoy have paid
out. It averages up $14,000 a month.
Clare is jusb about the best libble town
in the sbabe of Michigan. Then, boo,
there are apple and potabo, poulbry,
bubter and egg buyers. A market for
everything for those who live near
Clare.

Alward's Meeting.
(Coleman Independent.)
A good sized audience greebed Hon
D. E. Alward, of Clare, ab bhe opera
house Tuesday evening. The speaker
inberesbed his hearers to a large extent and they were sorry to have him
close.
Mr. Alward abused no parby or person, but in a clear and forcible manner, he took up the issues of tho day
and discussed them in such a manner
as to be most convincing.
In the past few days.we have heard
many speakers from both parties speak*
from the opera house platform, but
never was there a man who explained
his position in as clear and convincing
a style as Mr. Alward, We haye
heard many democrats compliment
the speech. The people of Coleman
delight to hear such honest, Straight
forward balk and sbould Mr. Alward
ever return to Coleman he will be
greeted hy a large crowd. He made
many admirers in this village.

To the Teachers:
The autumn meeting of the Clare

and physical culture in the Ferris Industrial school, will give a reading in
the Congregational church Friday

After you have heard Mr. Carlisle,
his ability as an eloeubionisb will not
be doubted. Bear the date lo mind
and arrange to attend. No excuse
will be accepted but death! Come,
even if you have to lose a day or more.
You can make up the lost days at the
end of the term. Mease be on time
Friday morning. Get all you can out
of this meeting. Come prepared to
talk and ask questions. The best
teachers are those who attend these
meetings. Show me a teacher who
stays ab borne without a good excuse,
and I will show you a poor teacher.
Olare counby is nobed for ifcs "wide
awake", beachers, and left hs try to
keep up the name. Let us have eyery
teacher in the counby presenb.
The citizens of Farwell are going to
