■ La st week Thursday the republicans
"AAd their judicial convention and
nominated ?. IT. Dodds of Isabella
county.   It took 108 ballots to reach
that result. The Glare delegates gave
Hart their support so long as it seemed
TTisdota to do so and then gave ' their
support to Dodds. While the Midland
delegation very much desired the re-
comination of Judge Hart, yet they
y&Ae away feeling that it had been a
2f77 contest, and that Dodds, though
7-ct their preference, was a man
TTOTtiiy ©5 support and to this they
Torant&rially pledged themselves in
bshalv oi Midland county.
The'fight of the" democrats Saturday
sir£2ers greatly hy comparison. . "Do
~G"Ut think you'will ballot; 108 times?"
7773 the joking inquiry of ah outsider
cY;_r.re_ay morning. "Sot much" was
1-j.g answer. "We'll settle it insicie of
S3 ballots. •> "Well give you republicans
uome pointers in conducting a* noinin-
zJAai convention." And now no one
disputes. but that they did.
The convention was called to order
■ive 11 o;clock hy Chairman W. A.* Bur-
I7'£t oi the judicial committee. 3?. D.
Gi__.I_.of Midland was called to the"
oaelr and O. H. Sutherland of Clare as
temporary secretary.
2ZcEn£e& of Isabella, Bobinson of
\jAs5 and S&afford of Midland were
777,-Me committee on credentials.
• Burritt of Clare, Burch of Midland
S7.fi Garvey of Isabella were committee
on permanent organization and order'
A? hziBmess.
Sutherland ®£ Clare, Gavin of Xsa-
Ti^IIaand JFaxeMld of Midland were
€0D____i'_tee on resolutions.
Afuer the temporary organization
'775 e .invention adjourned till 1 o'clock.
"When the convention reassembled,
€77ui7iit-tees? reports were accepted and.
"-lo-liktse of Isabella made* permanent
clioi'Msn and Ira Eales of Midland
permanent secretary.
Tlie committee on resolutions read a
long essay, rehearslhg the usual evils
c-r" the times and prophesying that un-
fier democratic rule all wrongs would
>3 righted.
Uncler the order of business for pre-
icr'iisg candidates* W. A. Burritt of
'77-3 Clare delegation presented the
T77;7js of O. W. Perry of this city,
yyyA McSa-mara oi Isabella that of
07.5:2, T. Bussell, and F. D. dark of
sat of Myron G. G-ue.    The
fade. By the tenth it had disappeared
and a set look took its place. After
53 ballots had been taken and no point
had been gained for anyone, Mr. Burritt arose in his place and addressed
the delegates, eloquently appealing to
them to not carry the matter too far
as every additional ballot weakened
the chances for the election of whomever the convention should finally
agree upon. He asked for complimentary votes for .Mr. Berry. The 54th
ballot showed no change, but in the
55th Midland gave Perry one complimentary vote but took it back in the
56th. After the 57th, Delegate Mc-
"Hamara again urged the selection of
Russell. "The republican candidate
is a strong one," said he, "I want to
emphasize that, he is a strong candidate, the strongest they  could have
nominated."
Delegate Clark then spoke for Gue.
"Our.candidates seem to be of -about
equal ability. ■ Therefore this is simply a matter of expediency." He then
promised the endorsement of the populists if Gue should.be* nominated, but
that it could not be^ counted on with
any other nominee.
On the -SQth ballot Burritt got 1;, on
the 62nd Fairchild 1; on the 63d Estee 1.
Balloting continued till supper time
without much ehange.    After supper
the fight was renewed with  frequent
speech making and it was evident that
some pretty hot blood was being stirred
up.
About 110 ballots had been taken
when a half hour's recess was ordered.
The goose wasn't cooked, in this instance—at least, not very well. Some
complimentary votes were bargained
for, however.   Soon after recess
Gue,
the

resiles were all eloquent and flowery

cyhvAiQ coincidence it appeared that

Clare vote§ were given to
when it was.expected that a similar
compliment would be returned, the
Midland delegates, instead of- voting
for Perry, cast their votes for Burritt.
Then the real fun began. The Clare
delegates were justly indignant and
withdrew Perry's name and left the
convention.
After Peryy's name had been withdrawn ant* there was no excuse' for
such action, one of the Midland delegates made a savage attack on Mr.
Perry's candidacy, going so far as to
use indecent language although there
were one or two ladies in the house.
He said he did not like him and would
not support him* if nominated. His
remarks called for one or two hot
speeches from the Clare delegation,
and it looked for a few minutes as
though an officer would need to be
called in to prevent personal violence.
After a time voting was resumed
and on the 129th .ballot Sussell was
nominated by a vote of 9 for Russell
and 2 for Gne, the Glare delegates and
two of the Midland delegates refusing
to vote.
The candidates were then called in
and an effort made tp restore harmony.
Although  they   figuratively    shook
hands over the battle field,  it was
manifest that several well sharpened
knives were beiny slipped up as many
sleeves which would be used  with
deadly effect later on.
A judicial committee was chosen
and the convention adjourned shortly
after midnight. The general opinion
among local democrats is that the bad
spirit shown-will loose them two or
three hundred votes.
The speech that made most rumpus
was that of a Midland delegate who
was sent as a populist. Perry was too
straight a democrat to suit Mm. He
would not vote for Russell for a simil-
£3 sreasoa.
A View of The Situation—Hon-imiou Men
Being employedr-Ko Indication of
"Violence.
The threatened trouble on the Ann
Arbor road culminated Wednesday
morning,when the engineers and firemen left their .engines by order of
Chief Arthur. Only mail trains have
gone through since then, manned by
non-union men, although • the local
freights have been moving on some
parts of the road. The trouble centers
mostly at Owosso and Toledo, but
there is quite a crowd of railroad men
around the depot at Clare when the
passenger trains come through. The
non-union men go heavily armed,
although this is unnecessary als no violence is intended.
The accounts of the affair given by
the Ashleys and the strikers do not
agree. The strikers claim that their
demand is simply for a schedule similar to that in force on other roads, extra pay for time over 12 hours. At
present they work 14J- hours on a division before they get extra allowance..
As they get pay by mileage, two or
three hours spent in making up a
freight train is not paid for.      9 ,
Ashley maintains that the strike is
only to test whether he or, the men
shall say whom he shall employ. He
says the engineerg get from $120 to
$145 a month from mileage.
* By some it is thought that the strike
has been brought on by the Ashleys,
backed by other roads, to test the
strength of the labor organizations before the great Columbian strike comes
off.     '
It is reported athat other Michigan
roads will not receive T. & A. freight,
but it is rather early to say that. The
strikers are orderly and determined,
but it looks as though the strike would
-fail of a success as there seems to be
'little trouble in filling their places.

A log Train qrasJ_.es into a caboose two
,   Miles east of Clare.
Wednesday, late in tbe afternoon,
an east bound frelgnt lost a caboose
near the old junction depot half ■> way
between Clare and TFarwell. When
the loss was discovered a train man
was sent back to flag any following
train while the engine brought the
balance of the train to Clare.
Not long after a log train came
down the Remick hill and was very,
near the caboose which was, of course,
standing still-, before they saw the
signal to stop. The flagman says he
was back a mile beyond the car but
the engineer and fireman say that he
was not over ten car lengths from the
caboose. Their- head light had burned
out and they had stopped at the top of
the hill to try and fix it, or else they
would have been going at the rate of
forty miles an hour when they struck.
As it was, they were under good speed,
the engineer reversed the engine when
he saw the danger. He with the fireman and head brakeman jumped off.
The Caboose was demolished, and four
or five loaded cars behind the engine
came forward crashing into the tender
and cab and piling things up in general. As has been the case in several
other wrecks here this winter, no one
was injured.
The 7:35 express laid up at Clare
until Thursday morning when the
track was clear enough tb let it
through. *
Please Explain.
Two weeks ago the Cleaver of Harrison published an uncalled-for attack
on Clare because & bill had beenintro"
ducedinthe state senate to amend her
charter and the title of another bill to
amend the charter of Harrison, styling
it "more rotten legislation against the
north end." We made no reference to
it last week thinking that perhaps
there might "be some allowance due
the Cleaver from the fact that not
much time was given it to get ait the
facts of the case. But as no explanation was given last week in the columns of that paper, although it was
well known that the state of the case
was understood and satisfactory at the
county seat, we ask'the Cleaver, in
the name of fairness, to set the matter
right. A failure to do so must lay
that paper open to the suspicion that
it wishes wilfully to create sentiment
hostile to Clare, especially so, as the
article of two weeks ago reached many
readers in the northern townships
who would not see a denial on our
part.
