A SPLENDID TICKET.
The gentlemen named are representative citizens, who, if elected, will
discharge the duties incumbent on
them with fidelity "and honor. Mr.
Jenney is in every way qualified for the
office of mayor. His service as an alderman has given him experience which
will be valuable to him in the higher
office, A clean, straightforward, business man, upright and honorable,
with the best interests of the city at
heart. Mr. Jenney deserves to win in
this campaign. To elect him will be
to make certain that the city government for the next year will be presided over by a worthy man, and the welfare of all the people will be guarded.
Everybody is! Murney Bell's friend.
His qualifications  for   the office of
city clegk no one can question.   He is
..all right au_: his name adds strength
i;o the whole ticket.
Isaac Harris-, the nominee for city
treasurer, has been there before and
the people know him as a careful, conscientious and faithful public servant.
In his former term as city treasurer,
he 'was gentlemanly and obliging,.always on hand and ever active to discharge his duties. A very small percentage of the tax had to be returned
uncollected that year. Mr. Harris is
a Union veteran, deserving of support
on that account as well as on account
of his eminent fitness.
E. D. Palmer, for school inspector,
and A. W. Mclntyre, for justice, are
the right men for those positions.
Each has proved his worth by former
service, and each has a host of friends
who will rejoice that the convention
nominated them.
The ward tickets are good ones. Eepublicans can rally around their nominees this spring with enthusiasm.
Let every honorable -effort be put
forth from now until election day,that
these men may be elected and the
principles of Eepublicamsm triumph
again !

ANOTHER RAILROAD
PROJECTED ACROSS CLARE COUNTY
BY WAY OF HARRISON.
Harrison, March 25th.—There is a
movement on foot to haye the Michigan Central railroad extend its line
from Gladwin westward, striking Harrison, Marion, Cadillac, and thence to
Manistee, where, we understand, the
M.C. has purchased dockage.. Several
years ago a similar movement was
started but for some reason was hot
carried out. At that time the citizens
of the various towns along the proposed route went so far as to secure the
right of way and in several instances
offered a bonus, but it seems that the
M.C. was not willing to make the extension. Under the present existing
circumstances it appears that by a
goodly amount of hustling this project
can be made successful. It behooves
our citizens as well as the citizens in
the various towns along the proposeed
route to get to work and see what can
be done in the way of inducements.
With a line extending eastward from
Manistee to Bay City the M.C. would
become a competitor with the F. & P.
M. in the western freight traffic, besides opening up a large tract of timber, and placing large tracts of excellent farming lands on the market,
which with good shipping facilities
would soon become settled up by practical farmers.
We have the assurance that Marion
will put her'best work in to secure this
road and later we will be prepared to
say more on this subject.

POLITICAL POINTERS.
T. C. Holbrook got there just in time
to take the Democratic nomination for
city clerk, he being one of those who
became citizens of the United States
this week.
Eollin H.' Jenney always does what
he thinks is right, without fear'or
favor. * That's one qualification that
commends him as a candidate for
Mayor.
*
David Kirkoatrick and John Kirk-
patrick took out their papers before
Judge Dodds this week and are now full
fledged citizens of the United States.
* *.
*
The Eepublicans of Clare have an
opportunity this spring to win a decisive victory. The convention and
caucuses have left no sore snots anv-
where and we believe there will be a
strong pull all together for the whole
ticket.
*
A vote for Isaac Harris for city
treasurer is a vote for* a brave soldier,
a tried and true custodian of the people's money and an honest man.
* *
*
The pupils of the high school and
grammar school have caught the fever
and have been practicing this week on
holding caucuses, electing U, S. Senators, etc. - Tbe youngsters worked up
lively interest among themselves in
political affairs.
*
Archie McKinley and James Walsh,
were in the city this week, both of
them declaring their adherence to Eepublican principles from now on.
Both these gentlemen have always
been democrats.
*
The following is the committee appointed at the democratic city convention, charged with the work of booming the democratic ticket: Messrs. J.
Mason, Harry Hubel, °C. P. Louch,
John A Jackson and Geo. Benner.
* «
Charlie Fishley was nominated for
two offices, by the democrats, school
inspector and supervisor.
Messrs Clark, Yan Brunt and Mortz,
the Eepub[ican candidates for Alder-
man?are all pledged to strict economy
in the administration of the city's
business.
■ar
A man who has proved himself capable of successfully conducting his-
own business and bringing the same
to a highly successful issue* is the man
much needed to pilot the affairs of our
little city foi* the ensuing year. Such
a man is Rollin H. Jenney.
* *
For nearly eighteen years has Eollin
H. Jenney, the Eepublican candidate
for mayor, been employed by the Union
Iron Company. The man who can
hold a position for that length of time
in one firm i certainly well qualified
to hold the office for which he has
been nominated. The fact that he
has worked from the bottom of the
ladder up should also be considered.
And what is more, while Mr. Jenney
would like to resign his position with
this company in order to the better
look after his private business affairs,
the Union Iron Co. is determined not
to let him go—he is too careful and
good a business man for them to lose.
It is just such a man that we want
for mayor the coming year. The man
who is mayor of Clare next year will
have the office in one of the most
critical periods in her history, and we
need a man with Mr. Jenney's business ability for the position.
* *
*
For clerk—vote for genial Murney
Bell. There isn't a man in the city
better qualified for the office.
*
"Honest Ike" Harris will be our
next city treasurer. Just set that
down. It will be money in every tax
paper's pocket to have him elected.
Mr. Harris was our treasurer for one
year and not one one word of complaint
was ever heard of him so efficiently
did he perform his duties, With his
one years' experience he will be enabled
to collect almost every cent. Every
taxpayer knows that it takes at least
one year's experience to. get on to the
ropes, That is the reason it will be
money in your pocket to vote for Mr.
Harris. He's had the experience and
there'll be mighty little tax returned
as "un-collected" when begets through
with the tax roll.
* *
*
No better choice could possibly have
been made than that of the 3rd ward
Eenublican caucus in nominating John
C. Eoekafellow for supervisor. He is
an honest and careful man and in
every way well qualified. In electing
J. C Eoekafellow, the citizens of the
3rd ward will place their affairs in the
hands of a man with years of experience in which lie has never been found
wanting.
JTHE DEMOCRATS.
C. H. Sutherland presided over the
deliberations of the democrats at their
city convention Tuesday evening and
June Eoss was secretary-. Thirty-six
votes were cast and the following ticket was nominated:
Mayor—David Eorison.
Clerk—Thos. C. Holbrook.
Treasurer—John H. Wilson.
School Inspector—Chas. H. Fishley.
Justice—J. H. Carpenter.
J. S. Eoss was nominated for clerk
but he wouldn't run against Murney
Bell and so pulled  out.     Then   Mr.
Holbrook was induced to take it.
SECOND WARD.
Dayid Eorison presided and Charlie
Eoss was clerk in the 2d ward democratic caucus. There was no contest
on anything. Charles Fishley captured the nomination for supervisor,
James Louch was made, the candidate
for alderman and Henry Brown for
constable.
THIRD WARD.
E. M. Musseil presided here, with
June Eoss keeping the record. James
S. Boyd secured the nomination for
supervisor, Alfred Louch and John
Jackson were named for aldermen and
Will Parrish for constable.
THE PROHIBITIONISTS.
There were thirty-nine voters in
the city convention of the Prohibitionists last night. James F. Tatman was
elected chairman and E.Harvey editor
of the Eeporter, secretary, but as the
latter is not a citizen of this country,
it was feared that his serving as secretary might lead to some difficulty
later on, and so Jay Piper was selected
in his stead. John Giberson made a
speech then and when he got through
the convention proceeded to nominate
their ticket. This was uhe result.
Mayor—James F. Tatman.   ■
Clerk—L. E. Harding.
Treasurer—Thomas Dorsey.
School Inspector—Harvey Hinman..
Justice—W. H, Elden.
The nominee for mayor accepted the
nomination reluctantly, saying that he
could not enter upon the campaign
with any heart this spring,
"FIRST WARD.
G. W. Lee was chairman here and
Adam Fall was secretary. Some mighty
efforts have been put forth by some
outsiders to get the prohibitionists in
this ward to leave the head of the
ticket blank or else nominate a man
not a prohibitionist for the place, but
the work was done all in vain, for the
ticket is as follows;
Supervisor—George W. Lee.
Aldermen—C. Scoonover and W. E.
Bidwell.
Constable—Adam Fall.
SECOND "WARD.
John Harris presided over the deho-
erations of the prohibitionists in this
ward, and Jay   Piper continued his
arduous duties at the side table.   The
ticket named is:
Supervisor—E. B, Gorr.
Alderman—A. S. Ehoades.
Constable—D. J. Fox.
THIRD    WARD.
The third ward caucus was presided
oyer by James Dunwoodie. H. Holden
was secretary, and Ed. White and
Elder Long were tellers.   Following
is the ticket:
Supervisor—J. Schilling.
Alderman—L. E. Davey for the
long term aud H. Allen for the short
term.
Constable—George Mater.

Mr. Downs, principal of the Far-

It is well for lovers of beans that
Clare county farmers do not treat
the early developement of that homely vegetable as did one of the bright
young ladies in the botany class, recently. It is solemnly affirmed that
she poked them back in*co the earth as
soon as they attempted to raise their*
delicate sprouts.
The grammar rooms and high school
had a sham election of senators this
week, the former representing the
House 'of Representatives and the
latter the Senate. *
While speaking of political terms in
our morning exercises, the question
was asked: "What is meant by a -dark
horse ?'" No one being able to tell,
we were then asked to name a so-called
'•darkhorse," and an innocent lad answered—"Grover Cleveland !"

Washington Gardner Will be in the  Up-,
per Peninsula Next Week.
The Republican committee had engaged the opera house and expected to
secure Hon. Washington Gardner, secretary of state, for a speech in Clare
on Friday evening next, but the plan
has of necessity been abandoned. Mr.
Gardner wired the committee that he
will be in Negaunee April 3; had he
not been so engaged he would surely
have come. This will be a disappointment to all., but it cannot be helped.
How to Accumulate Friends.
"I know what Pll do," said the candidate. 'Til lay in a big supply of
plug tobacco, and every time I meet
one of the hayseeds, I'll offer him a
chew.,'
"You will do nothing of the sort,)J
said his manager. "You will go out j
without a bit and borrow a chew from-:'
every man you meet. Haven't you got
sense enough to know that the mar*
you are under obligations to alwayjf
feels warmer noward'you than the raai*
you€aVe done a favor?"
