complimentary;
E. D. Palmer of the 1st ward was

The city committee was re-elected.
POINTS TO REMEMBER.
The democratic city ca,ticus at the:
council rooms Wednesday night could |
hardly be called a success, from a po- i
litical stand-point. Twenty-five votes",
wa|s the highest number polled at anytime. S-j^eral of the shining lights of
the party were conspicuous for theiiri
absence. The referee stayed at honae,
doubtless for the sake of harmony.
His active presence would have beeia
like a crimson-cloth before a masek-
line bovine. The caucus was harm©--:
ious. There was a great unanimityi—
in declining nominations. It was, a
very unselfish lot whose names weice;
proposed. Ex-Mayor Mason might;
have had the mayoralty, but he
would_3k.have anything to dci with it
—too busy. He would'nt act on tike
«^ty committee, either. Same reason.
-^Everybody charitably restrained from
suggesting that he would now hare
more time than formerly, the P. £).
business having been satisfactorially
(?) settled.. Einally, J. H. Carpenter
was settled upon as a sort of compromise, and, dike all compromises, neither side was just suited. The fact that
he was a supporter of Dr. Maynard for
P. M. on the quiet, did not help matters.
C. P. Louch for clerk-.-went through
without opposition. He has been aj
good clerk for two years and is ah ex-!
cellent fellow. Some of the aspiring
young democrats have raised the qules-
tion, however j whether he ought to be
given a life lease of the office.
The office of treasurer went begging.
Jas. Boyd had the lead on the first ballot, quite a compliment, but he utterly refused it. .Hewas.too busy,   also.
D. Rorison was finally given the nomination, he being absent and unable
to defend himself. When he heard of
it, however, he.expressed a wish that
a certain individual, represented in
picture books as wearing horns, might
capture the caucus. ;
Dr. E. C- Sanfoxd was given the nomination of school .Inspector. He was
not there, but doubtless would make a
go*Klofficer—-if elected.
"Mie republican-caucus last evening
took on the nature -,of a convention.
There were over sixty votes cast on
the first ballot. J. IT. Tatman called
the convention to order and named W.
H. Goodman as temporary chairman
and Hugh Hunter as secretary.    " i   *
S. C. BLirkbride, J. E. Tatman and
E. H. DeYogt were made committee
-on permanent organization. E. D..
Palmer and H.. Hunter were named as
permanent chairman and secretary
respectively, and W. E. Gleason and
Thos. Creeper, tellers.
- Eor may or, on the first ballot, W. A.
•Goodman received a neat complimentary vote, there were a few scattering
yotes, but I). E.: Alward received the
big vote of the contention. His nomination was made unanimous,        ,
Eor clerk, CL H. Clark received SO
large a vote as to convince everyone
that his popularity will insure lis elec-
•tion.
The second ward had the* honor of
naming the next treasurer. Isaac Harris, -a veteran soldier,  and* of high

you bear them in Mind.
The present method of voting in
Michigan, except in a few minor
points, is nearly perfect/ As soon as
it is well understood nearly all criticism disagspeatrs. We call attention
to the following points most of them
being changes by the law of 1893:
There is a circle instead of square
at the head of the tickeo under the
party name; but the squares-remain-:
before each name. .
The ticket of the party casting the
largest vote atthe last general election
comes first on the ballot  and  other;
tickets come in order of their  party;
rote. "
The attorney-general has ruled that
the second proviso to sec. 1, pagev 326,
acts of 1893, prohibits a candidate to
any office whatever from sitting on
the board of election inspectors.
Chairmen ol committees and candidates on official ballots may have fac-
similies of the ticket printed on red,
yellow or blue paper and headed 'Tn-i
struction Ballot," for the purpose of
instructing voters.
There must be at least two ballots
provided for each ©lector according to
the last general election.
The election commissioners must
furnish metallic stamps 'and metallic
erasers.
"At every election each of-the polite
ical parties shall have the right to designate and keep not exceeding two
•challengers at each place of voting,
who shall be assigned such positions
immediately #"joi_l_g the inspectors
inside the polling place as -will enable
them to see each person as he offers to
vote and a seat and table or desk on
which he may write within.the railing,

political party, and. he shall have the:
right to inspect the poll lists as kept
by the clerks, .and wno shall be protected in the discharge -of their duty
by the inspectors and the police. Authority signed by the recognized chair*
man or presiding officer Lot the chief
managing committee ©f.a party in such
-county or township, city, ward or vot-r
ing precinct, shall be sufficient evidence of the right of-such challengers
to be present inside the room where
the ballot box is kept. The chairman
appointing any challenger may, at his
•discretion, remove him and appoint
another. Any challenger shall have
the right and privilege of remaining
duringthecanvass of the votes and
■until the returns are d_ly signed and
made."—Sec. 23, Public Acts, 1893.
To vote 'er straight, just put a cross
in the circle at the head of the -ticket.
If you wish to vote for a candidate
on another ticket, put a .cross at the
head of your party ticket as for a.
straight ticket and then put a cross in
the square before the candidate's name
that you do wish to vote for in the
other ticket. You do not need to cross
out the corresponding name in your
own party ticket as by the law of 1891;
but it won't do any hurt if you do.
- If you wish to vote for ,a name not
on any ticket, just write or paste the
name opposite the name of the office.
You better erase the corresponding
name in your own party ticket, but it
is not really necessary.
"When an elector shall make oath
that he cannot read English or that
because of physical disability he cannot mark his ballot, or when such disability .shall be made manifest to said
inspectors, his ballot shall be marked
for him in the presence of the challenger of each political party having a
challenger at such voting place by . an
inspector-designated hy the board for
that purpose, which marking shall be
done in one of the booths."—Sec. 32,
Public Acts, 1893.
We shall soon sort over our files and
have several copies of the first volume
of the Sehtdsel bound. If anyone
would like a.copy of any issue of the
first volume, we shall be pleased to re--

within the next two or three weeks.

BUSINESS MEN ORGANIZE.
A Meeting for Organization was held in
the Calkins Parlors, Monday;
There was a meeting of Glare business men held in the parlors bf the
Calkins Monday evening. The majorty
of the business men of the city were
present and the meeting was quite
enthusiastic, the object being to organize permanently for the purpose
of promoting , the establishment of
more factories in the city and in otherwise promoting the general interests
of the city. Some feeble' attempts
along this line have been made heretofore, but none that seemed to bear the
promise of "permanency that characterizes the present move. Every business
man and laborer in Clare seems to be
awake to the fact that a strong and
steady effort must be put forth to
secure employment for labor.: The
meeting was called to order -audi E. D.
Palmer was chosen chairman and C.
H. Clark secretary. A committee consisting of J. LEV Tatman, W, A.- Goodman, Jas. Boyd, D. E. Alward and W.
H. Elden was appointed on permanent
organization. After a general discussion of the prospect for manufacturing
plants to be secured, W. A. Goodman,
J, A. Jackson and E. H. DeYogt were
made a committee to correspond with
the Lansing Lumber Co. .
E. H. Waller and N. Bicknell, were
made a temporary finance cohtmittee
to secure funds to defray necessary
current expenses. The meeting adjourned to meet at the same place
Monday evening March 26.
The general discussion at the meeting revealed the fact that the prospects for more factories were very
flattering. There are three or four
that stand ready to locate here*provide
they are given proper encouragement
and. without the requirement of a
bonus. It would be rather premature
for us to discuss them now, hut the
Sentinei-urges every business man
to attetd the meeting next LMLonday
night, assist in the organization, and
be ready to assist in every way possible
financial or otherwise. Clare's shipping facilities, her natural resources
and business push ought tp make her
one oi the foremost manufacturing
towns in Michigan..

CUT THIS OUT.
Below we give a simple explanation
of the code of signals used by the TJ. S.
weather bureau by means of the flags
displayed from Doherty opera house.
Two minutes' careful study of the code
will be sufficient to master it. There
are five flags.
No. 1 is square and white.
No. 2 is square and blue.
No. 3 is square, the upper half being
white and the lower half blue.
No. '4 is triangular and black-
No. 5 is square and white with a
small black square in the center.
No. 1 indicates fair weather.
No. 2 indicates general rain or snow.
No. 3 indicates local rain.
When either of these appear alone
the temperature is .stationary.    However, if No. 4 is displayed on the pole
i above them the temperature will rise,
; or be warmer; if below, then it  will
! fall, or be colder.
N6. 5 indicates a cold wave.
Nos. 1 and 5 indicate a clear cold
wave.
Nos. 2 and 5 indicate a wet cold
wave.
