IR^palblfeaffi Comity Conventiok at
Maririson^ Wednesday.,
Cksmniitl©© s
Jl ILarg©ly Attended, "Enthusiastic
.ami Harmonious Meetimgo.
One of tlie largest and most satisfactory-conventions ever held ia tMs
•county was the republican convention
at Harrison, Wednesday. There were
51 delegates voting. This is an unusual number lor a convention merely to
elect ielegates, aad shows what kind
of a campaign will be waged this fall
after sthe county ticket is chosen.
The convention was called to order
at 1$. m. by A. J. Doherty, chairman
of the county committee. After the
call was read Geo. J. Cummins of Harrison was named .temporary chairman
and D. R. Wait of Farwell, temporary
secretary.
The chairman then appointed the
following committees:    -
'•On permanent-organization and order of business: .A. J. Doherty, Clare;
L. L. Kelley, Far-well; Wm. Crawford,
tGrant.
On credentials: G. W. Graham, Far-
well; ¥m. YanCtonant, Clare; G. F.
Drake, Harrison.   .
On resolutions: D. E. Alward, Clare:
•Wm. Temple, Redding; Will O. Rice,
'Greenwood.
The committee on permanent organisation recommended that the temporary organization be made permanent
-and that .the order of business be as
.appears below. All elections of dele-
.gaces to be by ballot.   The report was
The committee on resolutions presented the following, which was frequently interrupted by applause and
at the close was loudly cheered and
unanimously adopted:
The Republicans of Clare county reaffirm their allegiance to the grand
■old party and glory in the fact that its
history is a,record of great deeds accomplished, of great causes advanced
.and of of great services performed in
behalf of liberty, humanity and progress.    The drums «of republicanism
have never learned to beat retreat.
Defeat has not  shaken   republican
^principles,  nor lessened    republican
•determination.   Si»ace the day when
sthe first republican party came together, a mighty h©st of freemen came
•to the imperishable doctrine of equal
■lights and firmly ^committed to   the
.principle of protection for American
■labor, republicanism has been an unconquerable power on the   side   of
.American ideas and American institutions.   Its annals are illustrious with
ithe achievements of statesmen  and
patriots whose fame is worldwide, and
.whose memory will never fade.   Every
■republican has reason for honest pride
as heiooks on that long roll of splendid names and . recalls the triumphs
-.that republicanism has    won   over
foreign   hostility,   domestic treason
-and the forces of bigotry and disorder
•which have menaxieed the Republic.
We denounce the diabolical treatment of the Union soldiers by the present democratic administration, and
•declare-.with our noble ex-president,
.Benjamin Harrison, that now is no
time tOtHse the apothecary's scales in
weighing the claims of veterans whose
heroic deeds- preserved the integrity of
the nation.
We call the people's attention to the
fact that every declaration made to
ithe people by the republicans in the
■campaign of 1892, 'concerning the
baneful aad disastrous effects sure to
follow democratic victory, have been
proven true in the experience of every
man, woman and child in America.
•every statement make in that campaign by the opponents of the republican party has been proven absolutely
false, and the cyclone of industrial depression with all its attendant evils---
idleness of honest laboring men, wives
smfi children .appealing in vain for
bread, has been a sad revelation to the
people of the incompetence of £>ur adversaries to govern the country wisely.
Instead of the comfort and prosperity
which everywhere prevailed under republican rule, misery and adversity
are the deplorable consequences of
Democratic" supremacy. The .democratic party with its overwhelming
majority in congress, and its president
in the White House, If deaf to the
cries of .distress from aU over the lamg*

the party now in power.
The hope of the nation is in the republican party, and we appeal to all
lovers of liberty and of honest government to rally to the support of republican principles and republican candidates in this campaign, thus emphasizing with tremendous power, condemnation of the administration which
has brought the nation to the verge of
ruin.

Whbkbas, For the first time since

Republicans meet today in convention
without the presence, aid and counsel
of our deceased friend, Hon. Wm. W.
Green, of Harrison,
Resolved, That we deplore the
death of our old friend, who was ever

EMBEZZLER
Hugli Hunter Arrested,  Charged
But it looks as though the charge
would meed to "be proven.
He is at Liberty on Bail, but
fuses to talk.
BREVITIES.
The leading local sensation of the
week has been the arrest of Hugh
Hunter, agent of-the T. <& A. A. road
at this point, on the charge of embezzlement at the company's funds. The
travelling auditor of the road has been
inspecting the book of the local office
for about a week. Monday night Hunter disappeared. A warrant was
sworn out before Justice Rockafellow
on the charge of embezzlement, and
Officer Parrish went to Saginaw and
Bay City looking for Hunter. The
Saginaw Courier-Herald Thursday
morning contained a very sensational
account of the arrest of Hunter by
Saginaw officers on descriptions given
them, of his attempted escape, of his
firing on an officer, etc., etc.. Later
inquiry shows that for much of the
account the reporter must have drawn
heavily on his imagination, and that
the story of firing on an officer is
wholly untrue.
Mr. Hunter returned to Clare last
evening with officer Parrish, and is
now at liberty upon bail. He was seen
this morning by The Senti"ne"l,
but refused to talk regarding the matter. Contrary to general report, however, Mr. Hunter is not wholly indifferent to the whole affair, but, though
saying nothing, apparently takes the
matter much to heart.
The company claims that he is an
embezzler to the extent of $520. It
appears that he remitted to the company with his report the sum of $520,
which they refused and returned to
him, claiming that it should have been
$530, and refusing to accept less than
the whole of that amount. Pending
investigation of the books by the
auditor, Mr. Hunter left town' and
drove to Saginaw. The company had
him arrested for embezzlement on the
claim that he was attempting to run
away, perhaps to Canada. Whether
this is true only Mr. Hunter knows,
and he refuses to talk. His friends—
and he has a lot of them—expect he
will make the thing all clear. Meanwhile it is only fair to all concerned to
suspend judgment.
Mr. Hunter is a bright and capable
young man, and every one—both those
who believe and those who disbelieve
his guilt—deplore the whole affair.
Much sympathy is expressed for Mrs
Hunter, who, undoubtedly, suffers
most from the unpleasant affair.
Later: The Hunter case came up before Justice Rockafellow this afternoon, and August 13 was appointed
for a hearing.
Did it ever occur to you how discontented people are as a rule ? You seldom find a man but what honestly believes the business he is in the most
exacting and least remunerative occu-
pution in the world. This feeling pervades all clases; go to the country
and the farmer will in nine cases out
often draw a rosy comparison of his lot
and that of the man in* the city, and
express a longing that he could exchange places, as he would then be in
the shade all day, near amusements
at night, and a thousand and one little
pleasures occur to his mind that he
does not have in the country. The
city man is envying the man in the
country, his green fields and pure air.
The man who boards wishes he was.
keeping house, and the house-wife
wishes she was boarding. The reporter wishes he was a preacher and the
preacher would like to be a reporter.
The domestic in the kitchen envies
the shop girl3 and the latter, who is on
her feet from morning to night, envies
the domestic. And so it goes all
through the walks of life. Ho one is
satisfied; each thinks his cross is
harder to bear than that of his neighbor, who would gladly exchange
with him.
Lake county is falling off in population. In 1884 it had 7,539; in 1890,
6,505; in 1894, 5,897. Chase, the
largest town in the county, had a population of 2,229 in 1884; now it has
1,211.

The net result of this great rebellion
growing out of a wage dispute between
an employer and his men in a little
town in Illinois, and finally extending over the country, can be summed
up very briefly. On tne side of the
commercial and railroad interests millions of dollars were lost and much
valuable property destroyed, which
latter the tax payers of Cook county
Illinois, will in all probability have to
bear. On the strikers' side several
lives have been lost, millions in wages
sunk and thousands of men
thrown permanently perhaps, out of
employment. The cause of labor has
not been advanced one iota, the settlement, of the original dispute is.
no nearer, and a friction and soreness
created that it will take many years
to remove.
Shade trees are a source of never
failing enjoyment to dwellers in a
town, and no town can be beautiful
without them. How refreshing thefe
shade in summer, and the dreariness
of winter is rendered less desolate by
their presence. A shaded avenue is a
much more desirable place of residence
than one which lacks this adornment.
Property is much more valuable on
this street and houses will command a
higher rent or price. The dwellings
are more pretentious, the lawns are
green and smoothly shaven, and beds
of flowers and bunches of shrubbery
bear witness, of the friendly rivalry
among the dwellers to excel in the
beautiful.
An exchange publishes the following
touching and suggestive poetry; "How
dear to our hearts is the cash on subscriptions, when the generous subscriber presents it to view; but the
man who don't pay-r-we refrain from
description, for perhaps, gentle reader,
■the man m&j be you."
