LARGE, HARMONIOUS
SUCH WAS THE  REPUBLICAN  COUNTY
CONVENTION  AT   HARRISON,
WEDNESDAY.
DELEGATES CHOSEN TO THE VARIOUS
CONVENTIONS AND RINGING RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.
Tbe Republicans of Glare county
who met in convention at Harrison on
Wednesday of tbis week, formed probably tbe largest delegate convention
tbat bas ever been beid in tbe .county
by any party.
Tbe convention was called to order
promptly at 11 a.m., by Dr. E. B.
Evans of Surrey, chairman of the
county convention, wbo read tbe call.
George J. Cummins of Harrison, was
elected temporary chairman, and M.
J. Follett of Harrison, temporary
secretary.
Tbe cbairman appointed tbe foliow-
committees, after wbicb tbe convention adjourned to 1 p.m.:
On credentials—A. J. Doberby.Clare;
John Quinn. Harrison; Wm. Temple.
Redding.
On Resolutions—Wm. B. Goodman,
Clare; L. L. Kelly, Farwell; Lyman
Leach, Grant.
On permanent organization and
older of business—J. W? Calkins, Clare;
D. R. Wait, Farwell; Jobn McDonald,
Hamilton.
At 1 p.m. the convention was again
called to order and tbe report of tbe
committee on credentials was read.
The report showed 60 voting delegates
in tbe convention.
The committee on permanent organization and order of business recommended that' the temporary organization be made permanent and tbat the
conyention proceed to elect delegates
to tbe various conventions. Tbe report was unanimously adopted.
Tbe following is tbe report of tbe
committee on resolutions, which report was carried by a rising vote of
every member of tbe delegation:
The republican party from tbe
time of its organization bas been
a party or the* people, by the people
and for tbe people. That as a party
it has al ways been true to tbe people
and is as true to-day. Tbat it is tbe
only political party tbe people can
safely trust and confide in. We en-^
dorse tbe platform of tbe National
Republican party adopted at tbe St.
Louis conyention, believing tbat wben
properly understood it is in accord
witb our ' past history, our. present
wants and future bopes.
"Recent evenos bave imposed
upon tbe patriotic people of tbis country a responsibility and a duty quite as
great as any since tbe civil war. Then
it was a struggle to preserve tbe government of tbe United States. Now
it is a struggle to preserve the financial honor of tbe United States. Then
it was a contest to save tbe . Union.
Now it is a contest to save the spotless credit of tbe Union. Then section
was arrayed against section. Now
men of all sections can unite, and will
unite, to rebuke the lepudiation of
obligations and the debasement of our
currency.
"In this contest patriotism is above
party and national honor more than
any party name. The currency and
the credit of the country are good
now and must be kept good forever.
Our trouble is not with tbe character
of the money we have, but it is with
the threat to debase it. We bave tbe
same currency that we had in 1892,
good the world over and unquestioned
by any people. Then, too, we had unexampled credit and prosperity.
"Our difficulty now is to set that
money in circulation and invest it in
productive enterprises, which furnish
employment to American labor. This
is impossible with the distrust that
hangs over the country at the present
time, and every effort to make our
dollars, or any bf them, worth less
than one hundred cents each only
serves to increase the distrust. What
we want is a sound policy, financial
and industrial, which will glye courage
and confidence to all, for when, that
is done the money now unemployed,
because of fear -for the future and lack
of confidence in investment, will
appear in the channels of trade.
'•Gentlemen, the employment of our
idle money—the idle money we already
have—in gainful pursuits will put
every idle man in the country at work,
and wben there is work there is wages,
and when there is work, wage earners
are consumers, who constitute tbe
best market for the products of our
soil.
'•Having destroyed business and
confidence by a free trade policy, it is
now proposed to make things still
worse by entering upon an era of depreciated currency. Not content witb
tbe inauguration of a ruinous policy,
which bas brought down tbe wages of
the laborers and tbe prices of farm
products, its advocates now offer a
new policy, which will diminish the
value of money in wbicb wages and
products are paid. Against both of
these we stand opposed, Our creed
embraces an honest dollar, an untarnished national credit, adequate
revenue for tbe uses of government,
protection to labor, preservation of
the home market and a reciprocity
Which, will extend to our foreign
markets,
"Upon this platform we stand and
submit its declarations to the sober
aud considerate judgment of theAmer-
ican people."
The officers and tellers being sworn,
tbe convention then proceeded to the
election of delegates, which resulted
as follows:
State—A. J. Doherty of Clare; Wm.
H. Browne of Harrison; Wm. M. Temple of Redding.
Congressional—Geo. J. Cummins of
Harrison; E. B. Evans of Surrey; S. C.
Hirkbride of Clare.
Senatorial—John Hampton, J. Up-
degraff, Joseph Hudson, W. A. Goodman, K.  C. Kouch, A. M. Tinker.
Representative—A. E. Mack, D. E.
Alward, D. R. Waifc, E. S. Hinds, John
Fleming, John Quinn, W. H. Wilson,
John Hampton, Chas. Boulter.
When it came to tbe election of delegates to the representative convention, D. E. Alward of Clare, in a very
fitting speech, presented the name of
L. L. Kelly of Farwell, as Clare county's candidate, Mr. Alward paid tribute to Mr. Kelly's worth and ability,
and was heartily applauded. Mr.
Kelly had the honor of naming his
own delegates. Our candidate is a
faithful worker in the ranks,i has
;been supervisor for ten years for Surrey township, and is well deserving
and capable of filling a seat in our
next legislature.
The business being completed,, the
convention adjourned, all being well
pleased with the result and remarking on the harmony which preyailed.

A GOOD ENTERTAINMENT.
The Bohemian Glass Blowers and Bryan's
Comedy Co. to liold forth in the
Opera House. Next Wee_.
The Bohemian Glass Blowers, with
a very fine ladies' band, will commence
a week's engagement at the opera
house next Monday evening. The
press speaks very complimentary of
the performance, and the price of admission is only 10 and 15 cents to all,
with a gift to each ticket holder. The
Port Huron _jews has the following to
say of the company:
"Large crowds attend the Bohemian
Glass Blowers that are giving entertainments each afternoon and evening
in the Westbrook block this week.
They are well worth going to see. Little Olga, the mind reader of the glass
blowers, alone being worth double the
price of. admission. Every visitor is
given a handsome present, the work of
the glass blowers. I^o one need feel
afraid or ashamed to attend, as the
strictest order is maintained and the
entertainment is first-class in every
respect. Don't miss the band concerts."
A young man called at our office a
few days ago and showed us a work
which is being introduced in this
county, with a request that we examine it. We are in a position every
day to judge of books and reading
matter, buo we consider this book, entitled, the " Handbook of the United
States," the best book of the kind ever
issued from the press. It is not a
history, but a description of our country as it is today, the result of four
centuries of progress. History deals
with the past, while this deals with
the present. We have never before
seen anything like it, or its equal in
quality of paper or character of illustrations for the price asked for it.
Every family needs just such a work,
and every young man and young
woman ought to possess a copy. We
have ordered a copy for ourselves, and
we would hejjlad to know that every
person in thij^ounty who Is trying to
improve himself, or the minds of his
family, had done the same.

"*REE."     ....
There is something so pleasing in
tbe sound of the "word "frefe" that it
captivates the imagination^ sets reason aside, and  defies good common
sense.   If the people will but notice,
the word "free" is used by the many
as a catch-word, giving it an entirely
different meaning than Webster does,
they will soon discover it is only done,
for a purpose, and a sinister one at-
that.   To be honest there is no such
thing as "free" silver.   If every mint,
in the United States should coin .silver;
night and day for years it would be no
* 'freer" than it is today.   There would
be a greater quantity of silver dollars
coined, but such coins would not get
into the pockets of the people until
the people exchange the products of
their labor, or their labor for them;
Every coin would represent so many
hours of work, and unless that work
was performed these coins would re2,
main in the mint.   There" is no more
"free" silver in the. world than there
is "free" gold or free treasury notes. *
The word "free" is an offensive eptai-
bhet  when rightly understood.    It
means if a law was enacted that the
owners of silver bullion could haye
their bullion,  worth 53 cents of the
dollar, coined "Iree" by the mints of
the United States, and when coined
guaranteed by the United States,-to
be worth' 100 cents, every dollar so
coined "free" would enrich the bullion
owner 47 cents, and that 47 cents the
government,   which   is   the   people,
would be holden to pay to keep it at
parity with gold.   The people, would
have to make up the difference to the
bullion owner between the commercial
value of the bullion and the legal
value  of a  dollar.   In plain words,
while the silver bullion owner  was
making 47 cents on every silver dollar
coined, the people would be losing 4T
cents on every silver dollar  coined-
The word "free" may have an enticing sound but it is the siren word of
satan.   Beware of the word.
