FOR LABORINGMEN.
Honest Man Loud vs. Shrewd
pressor Eiehei*.
Op-
Difference in Thej^ Treatment
"Workingmen.
of
Attorney General
of Michigan
and
Edward Bacon.
-Socicitors for Complainant.
Since the nomination of Mr. Fisher,
for congress, the opponents of Mr.
Loud havo discovered the latter to'be
u man of no mean abilities, one with
ivhich Fisher will have no walk si way
in the congressional contest, and
therefore Fisher's adherents have set
about throwing mud in a most industrious manner, but with signal failure. First,, it was, stated that Loud
was connected with the Oscoda Lumber company during the strike of
June, 1884, when troops etc., were
brought there, and he is accused of
making the remark "Well, boys,
where are you going to get your dinner," all of which is a barefaced lie.
The republican candidate for congress was not interested in tho strike,
he was not connected with the Osco-'
da lumber.company's inactive business, he was not in Oscoda when the
incidents referred to oecured, but was
in Cleveland, O.
As to Mr. Loud's treatment to Ia-
boringmen we clip the following extract from a lengthy article published
in the Lake Side Monitor:
For the benefit of those who are
not acquainted with the affair* of the
old firm of Loud, Gay <& Co., of Oscoda, lumber manufacturers, we will
slate that during the panic of 72-77
and the financial depression incident
to it. the firm of Loud, Gay & Co.,
were among the unfortunate ones
that were compelled to go down, the
property.of the firm being placed in
the hands of trustees ant) a trust deed
given by Mr.. Loud to Chas. Winchester, running, ten 'years, which
provided' l hat should the .trusteeslpay
to Mr. \VjUi6hefti*;)Uh'§'
wri t/Tn^^ropSHy
Co., should reverb back to "the firm.
It is not necessary here to give a history of the litigation which followed
except to state that Mr. Loud has followed the ease to at least six different hearings in different courts,
among which was the supreme court
of United States, (if we are not mistaken) and to the supreme court of
Michigan twice, in which court it
now rest? for the third lime for final
action. Mr. Loud won his case in
ever court to which it was taken, the
!a>t hearing being held in the circuit
court of Iosco county where it was
dwided that Mr. Loud still owed Mr.
Winchester $18,000 although Mr.
Winchester still denies Mr. Loud's
interest in the trust.
To return to our subject: When
the firm of Loud, Gay & Co., went
down with the general crash of 1876
they were owing men in their employ some §18,000 to §20,000 in labor.
Some held store orders, others notes,
while many claims were in the form
of open book accounts. Outside of
labor accounts were bills aggregating
a vast amount, many of which were
got in the form of judgments,
against Mr. Loud's interests, if any
in the trust. When the courts decided that Mr. Loud had an interest
in the trust, parties holding these
judgments were very aggressive in
their demands for immediate settlement. These were all settled up by
Mr. Loud through the intercession of
friends with means.
Luring all this time Mr. Loud had
assured the workingmen that just as
soon as it was possible for him to da
so he wonld pay them dollar for dollar for every cent the firm of Loud,
Gay & Co. owed them for labor, but
that he miisfc be given a chance and
time. That time came about a year
ago when the following advertisement appeared in the columns of this
paper for nearly two months.
IMPORTANT- NOTICE.
To workingmen. holding time or
accounts against the old firm of
Loud, Gay & Co.:
I would respectfully announce to
all workingmen hold time or having
outlawed book accounts against the
old firm of Loud. Gay & Co., that I
Will pay the same at face value'. I
desire to take up all these old accounts as early as possible and therefore request those having such to produce them at the first opportunity
that prompt .settlement may be
xnade,
. uiiere appears on the books of
Loud, Gay <& Co., accounts agaihst
workingmen aggregating over five,
thousands dollars. If any one owing
Such accounts wish to pay them they
will be thankfully received.
Respectfully.
E. F. Loud.
Some who hold accounts are not
aware that they cau get face value
for them, and consequently have not
presented them for payment. We
are authorized by Mr. Loud to state
that the propositi^!({Obtained in the
above advertisera(*£frj$ still open, and
that accounts are-constantly being
presented and ,paio; .
The above are fs&t«<and cannot be
controverted by a^T- one, They go
to prove beyond tlwl-first shadow* of
doubt that he olftf'«*W we make for
Mr. Loud, thnt'W is a practical
friend of the worklvgman, and not
afraid logo dow»;|ttfp his pocket to
demonstrate it, are^ true as that ihe
sun rises.in the e/iw. and sets iu the
west. k. '
One may say—Tflese accounts were
nonest debts ol"M)Vr.<6ud's and he
did no more (han^ght to pay the.irj.
Hold on just a inuifiunt, Mr, Loud
was one of" those partners"; but he has
paid the labor WL'fjafjt. of the whole
firm, all of which.»lj§re outlawed and
not legali-rt thing poetically unheard
of in all the history^f the commercial transactions ot mis country under similar circumptances, which
proves more eondiisively than any
other argument could, that Mr. Loud
is a practical friend.* to the laboring
men. .f'
We ask every canH|'dand unprejudiced-voter, after having rq«d the facts
above, if there is leR'one iota of room
for doubt that Mr,I»nud tar one of the
very few large.em_4oy*r_ who is a
practical hard <.':i_?i" friend of the
American workinginan? We have
yet to learn of the ftrst instance in. all
the history of lumifer manufacturers
and failures ofitimber manufacturers
in Michigan where outlawed labor
accounts of workingmen havp been
paid after the lapse of many yeari.
This is why we ch\*» Mr.-Loud as a
long exception ninpng'tlievery many
and ask for him tluf franchise'of the'
workin_-nien of the 'Tenth congressional district. We*ubmit.theabove
facts to your careful, consideration,
gentleman, and think? we.do not ask
too much when we-a&fc you to vote
for Mr. Loud as yotir representative
in congress. Workingihen, when
you find a practical^-friend, do nab
turn upon him a coli'l shoulders when
h,e asks of you a fovbr.

FISHER THE LAWER.
Another Sample of His Love for
Poor Men.
Squeezing Money From an "Unfortunate by Process of Law
circling himself with the phrases
"Poor man's friend," "Jaboringmen's
candidate," etc., that lie can grease
himself so that he will slide into congress. But the voters of whom he
said that he "would show those
things in Gladwin something about
law" will not be deceived by any
such senseless rot. They will bear in
mind that he hires men to "law them
to h—1," and see that their votes are
for Loud.—Gladwin Hecord.
F. A. Wilson has been doing the
most shameful trading of his own
party candidates for county officers
for votes for himself. In private he
denounces the anti-Burritt men but
does not dare to take a stand in favor
of any candidate on the fusion county ticket. Is that moral courage or
honorable work? To stern the tide
of popular indignation aroused by
his contemptible conduct, after this
publication, he will probably make
an effort io change Ids attitude toward his party associates, but this will
not avail anything in his favor now.
His whole influence has been against
his own party ticket in this campaign
and the pledges which brought about
the combination from- which he expects so much are well known. He
has shown his selfishness too plainly,
and his treachery to his friends will
gain for him just what, it merits,
—the condemnation of all good; citizens. The fusion candidates for
county offices know full well that
the influence if Mr. Wilson has been
against them in this campaign and
that when they have called his attention to the harm he is doing them he
has absolutely refused to say 4 one
word in his favor or against their opponents for fear of losing a few votes
which have been promised him. If
he changes his position now it will
not be from principle hut because he
is scart and wants votes. O! Cpn-
sisteney, thy name isn't P. A.. Wilson.
A. C, Carpenter of Harrison, a
promnlent Ivnight of Labor and one
ofthe most honorable men in this or
any other county, writes to TflJS
PitESs as follows: -
Editor Press: I send you clipping-
from Bay City Tribune illustrating
fc>. O. Fisher's honesty in business
matters when dealing with poor
men. As I was one of the parties
concerned I know that my brother's
statement is true in every particular.
Workingmen may expect the same
sort of honesty in redeeming pledges
made for the sake of 'reelection to
Congress.       Yours Truly,
A. C. CAltPENTEli,
Editor Nay City Tribune;
S. O. Fisher, the candidate for congress in the Tenth congressional district, he who styles himself the friend
of the poor man, should be showed
up in some of his kind acts to the
poor. I .had some deal with Mr,
Fisher which every voter in the district should know, as it shows up the
man in his true light.
On March 1, 1880,1 sold Mosher &
Fisher some logs. Said logs was
bought by me from H. C. Ripley, of
East S.*igiuaw, for $2 per thousand
feet stum pa <>e, logs tu be scaled in
woods by a sealer chosen and paid by
both parties. We agreed on Mr. Mc-
Glotjh.lin of East Saginaw to .scale the-
logs, Mr. Ripley aud /uyself being
with him when he scaled them.
They was banked Within three
weeks, after being swded, on the
west .branch of the. Rifle river, in
32, ttorth _.<jnst.-<-Tb<W!r-fcourit- of
according io McGlothlin's scale
was 307,15-1 feet. In February Mr.
Fisher sent his men up to buy the
logs, we could not agree ou price and
he went back aud in°a Jew days he
wrote me to come down to Bay City
and he would give me $S per thousand feet for the logs. 1 went down
and made u contract with him and
here is the contract:
"Mosher & Fisher buy of P. & A,
C. Carpenter 800 in. feet white pine
sawlogs marked R at §8 per m, feet
delivered in Rifle River boom limits,
also about o m. at §f> per m. feet
aggrieved and  Mr,.'Fisher * had no
right to demand any money  of "me,
as he had not gone according to  the
contract of agreement, but Mr, Fish*,
er swore by all that was good that #0
would not let it-go-that way ag there
was   a   principle involved,   Ndw»
what that principle was hej did  not
3tate, but in my opinion he meant if
he gave in that he  was  wrong, he
could not do the same thing byspnae
other man.   So  Mr.   Fisher   commenced suit agtdnst me before a. justice and got a j udgmen t agai nst me
for $250. Xthen got fi; T. Carringtott
to sign my bonds for me and carried
the suit  to the circuit court   and
then  the judgment  was  reversed.
Then Mr. Fisher got Judge Green to
grant him a new trial and  also said
that he should carry it to the supreme court, that I had no money to
law him.   About this time I lost all
the money I had   but  one hundred
and fifty dollar.* and Mr.  Carrin'gton
told Mr."'Fisher how  things were.      *.
He told Mr. Carrjngton to tell me  it
I Would give one hundred-dollars,
he would drop the suit, which I had
to do as I had a family  of eight  to
support and   could   not spend   the
time to attend   to   the  suit  and no
money to pay lawyers. I understand
that the money he forced from me he
gave to the church.   I wonder of the
people of that church know that  the
hundred    dollars   he  gave toward'
building it   was taking .the bread
from eight little childr'li   unjustly.
If any doubt the truth of. this state-*
ment they can go to the Bay county
records or enquire of 13. '1\' Ca'rring-

He agreed in the presence of E. T.
Carrington to notify me when the
logs were delivered in Bay City, at
West Branch by telegraph or letter
so I could come down and we could
agree on scaler and be there when the
logs were scaled, but instead of doing
that he went and got a party to scale
them under any circumstances. Me
Giothlin's scale between Ripley and
I was 307,151 feet. Charles Fitzhugh's
scale at, Rifle river boom between
Fisher and boom company was 807,-
504 feet, and Fisher's scale was 262,-
000 feet. Then Mr. Fisher sawed
the logs into lumher and a few weeks
after sent me his scale bill and notifying me to como down and pay him
back what he claimed he' had over
paid. I went down to Bay City and
saw Mr. Fisher, and Mr. Mosher, his
partner, was present the first time
