A special train of two full coacties
at one o'clock yesterday, following
Hon, J. 0. Burrow's eloquent address,
carried the delegates and other interested persons from this part of the
county to the republican contention
at Harrison. On reaching the county
seat a procession was formed, headed
by the Harrison band, and marched to
the court house and took possession of
the court room, which was tastefully
draped with flags and bunting for the
occasion.
After a brief delay the convention
was called to order by Isaac Harris,
chairman of the county committee,
who called John Quinn of Harrison to
the chair as temporary chairman. In
accepting the position Mr. Quinn
made a few remarks, counseling harmonious action and the selection of a
strong ticket, and congratulating the
party on the sure victory that awaits
united and vigorous activity.
Br. L. L. Kelley of. Harwell, a i-e-

^-^ Ttho committee on permanent or-
ganlztion recommended that the temporary organization be made permanent, which .was unanimously adopted. Tho order of business as recommended by the committee was also
adopted and will appear by the report
that follows.
Upon motion, Geo. Grahain and
"Frank Morrissey were named as teller
and they and the officers of the convention subscribed to the usual oath
-of office.
"Upon motion of Br. Evans it was
ordered that in the presentation of
names of candidates each town and
ward should be called in order for the
naming of such candidates.
It was moved by E. B. Palmer that
in voting for candidates the flrst bal-
lot for each office should be informal,
and should not be declared formal providing there were two or more candidates for the office. The motion prevailed.
The roll of towns  was next called
for the naming of candidates for
sheriff. The list passed without response until Summerfield was reached.
That township named Geo. W. Cole.
Surry named Chancy Breed. Winter-
field, J. H. Meming. Clare, Wm. Yan
Conant, and Harrison, Anthony
Rogers. On the flrst ballot Fleming
received 21, Yan Conant, 31, and the
other 27 votes were very equally divided between the other candidates. On
the second ballot Fleming gained
several while Yan Conant lost one,
but regained it on the next. Mr.
Fleming steadily gained until about
five ballots were taken when he had
a clear majority of all the votes and
on motion of J. L. Welch of Clare was
declared the unanimous choice of the
convention. John Fleming the nominee is one of the most popular men in
that part of the county where he is
best know and undoubtedly will poll
the largest republican vote ever cast
in this county.
For Clerk, B. Pierce of Surry, E. H.
BeYogt of .Clare and F. M. Morrissy
of Harrison were candidates, all tip
top men. Four ballots were taken tou
effect a choice. Of which Pierce had
13—9—10—6; BeYogt, 33—38—39—50;
Morrissy, 32—32—29—23. E. H. BeYogt having a large majority, on
motion of Br. Evans of Farwell, his
election was made unanimous. The
nominee is widely known and will
make the candidates on the opposing
ticket feel after election that they
weren't in it.
There were only two ballots taken
for prosecuting attorney. John Quinn
46—43, J. H. Canfield 19—19. Geo.
Cummins 13—17. The first ballot
would have decided it but for the rule
making the flrst informal. Mr. Quinu,
the choice of the convention, is
a bright young lawyer, too well known
throughout the county to require any
introduction here. ,
There were no two ways about it for
treasurer. The motion to suspend the
rules and renominate W. H. Browne
by acclamation was carried unanimously with a cheer and that is the
way io will be at the polls in November.
There were four names proposed for
register of deeds. The first ballot
gaveWm Smith of Greenwood, 14,
W. M. Temple of Redding, 26, C. H.
Ciark of Clare, 22, G. W. Richardson
of Harrison, 8, blank 6. After the result of the first ballot was announced,
W. M. Temple although having the
largest number of votes, arose and
thanked the convention for the flattering consideration that had been
given the north west part of the
count j in the somihation of sheriff
and said that he did not wish to be
considered a candidate for register.
This action of Mr. Temple was very
praisworthy from a standpoint of good
feeling. Mr. Richardson did not desire to be considered a candidate. The
result of the second ballot gave Temple 14, Smith 14, Richardson 2, Clark
37. Clark was declared the nominee,
and would doubtless make a mag-
nificant run, but he positively declines
to make the canvass, thus leaving the
filling of the office in the hands of the
county committee.
The balance of the ticket was quickly named by acclamation; for surveyor,
J. L*. Littlefieldof Surry; for circuit
court commissioner, J. H. Canfield, of
Harrison; for coroners, Phillip Yan
Conant of Grant and W. M. Temple of
Redding.
The list of nominees being completed, the committee on resolutions offered the following which was carried
unanimously with enthusiasm, after
which the convention adjourned:
We, the Republicans of Clare county in convention assembled, while we deplore the disastrous condition into which the commercial interests of the country have fallen through the
mal-adrainistration of the democratic party
which foisted itself into power through specious
promises of prosperity which it never intended
nor expected to redeem, and which has proven
itself incompetent to govern a great republic
and unfit,to be supported in power by an intelli
gent and loyal people, yet we congratulate the
couiftry at large that the hour of, deliverance
from two years of unparalleled distress and disaster is at han<L in the restoration of the Republican party to a position of control.
We declare ourselves in entire accord with
the principles of the republican state platform
as recently enunciated at Grand Rapids.
We heartily endorse the strong, clean, fearless admiiiistration of Governor Rich and pledge
to the entire state ticket our hearty support.
We congratulate the party on the sterling
character of its nominees for congress and for
the state legislature in those districts of which
Clare county forms a part and promise them
our heartiest support.
To the nominees of this convention which we
this day have named, we pledge our undivided
suffrage and that we will unite in a loyal effort
for the election of each and every nominee upon
the county ticket.
Send catalogues, rules and regulations, by-laws, court records, briefs,
etc., as Well as any other kind of printing, to the Si__t__o___i. office. Our facilities are such as to give you a good

man of thirty-odd years, tall, well-
built and athletic, has a large well
spaped head and a clear eye, and
though modest in appearance and
conversation is affable in address and
impresses one with his strong individuality. More than mere appearance, he is identified with the lumber
and farming interest of the district,
being directly interested in them, and
no fitter man could be found to represent the people at Lansing.

Married, in Hersey, Mich., at" the

morning, September 23d, 1894, by Rev.

Last Friday afternoon at about half
past two o'clock the water span of the
Chippewa bridge just this side of
Mt. Pleasant went down. Fortunately no one was on the bridge at the
time, though a loaded team had just
passed and numerous teams were near
by on their way to the Isabella County
fair. The bridge had been condemned.
Samuel Lansing and Calvin Fullmer
of Beaverton made this office pleasant
calls this week. What added to the
pleasantness of their visits, was that

their respective homes. Mr. Lansing
is making for himself a home on land
recently purchased from Brown _.

Fullmer lives near the railroad a few

Mrs. Lemain, the Yernon; City woman, who last week finished a term in
the Mt. Pleasant jail for maintaining
a disorderly house, is again in trouble.
This time she has probably booked
herself for a trip over the road. It appears that the principal witnesses
against her in her recent trial were
Mr. and Mrs. Tom Hanley,, most of
the other witnesses being afraid to appear. Madame Lemain had not been
home long before she deposited a quantity of poison in Mr. Hanley's cow
yard, garnished with cabbage leaves.
The dose was discovered in time to
save the cow and now the officers are
after the would-be cow poisoner. °
Let a man in business be thoroughly
fitted for the position he occupies, alert to every opportunity and embracing it to its fullest possibility, with
his methods fixed on honorable principles, and he is a successful man, writes
Edward W. Bok in the October Ladies'
Home Journal. It doesn't matter
whether he makes one thousand dollars or a hundred thousand dollars.
He makes a success of his position. He
carries to a successful termination that
which it has been given him to do, be
that great or small. If the" work he
does, and does well, is up to his limitations, he is a success. If he does not
workup to his capacity, then he fails,
just as he fails, too, if he attempts to
go beyond his mental or physical limit.
There is just as much danger on one
side of man's limit line as there is on
.he other. The-very realization of
one's capacity is a sign of success.

Pioneer society at Harrison next
'Wednesday. '
J. F. Tatman wishes to say there is
no fence to keep customers out of the
front door yet, but by being careful you
can come in between the posts.
O. S. Aiken, who runs a small grocery and notion store next the creeks
now advertises "warm meals at all
hours, lunches 10 cents, full meals 20.
cents." It's a good place to go when
you are hungry. Farmers should note
the place and call when in town.
There was a good turn out at the
"bee" at the Cong'l church of Bover
on last Wednesday. Fifty feet of
horse sheds were completed in elegant-
shape. A new fence in front of the
church was also commenced. It is
proposed to put a good fence around
the church lot soon. These improvements add greatly to the appearance
and value of the church property.
The donation of material and the
funds which were on hand for this
very purpose was ample to complete
the enterprise with the g-enerous donation of workers on Wednesday.
Bover people propose to look after its
meeting hollise and grounds.
