There will be an end to the slaughter

No one seems to be making an effort to secure the Republican nomination for Treasurer to-morrow.
Friends of Messrs. A. W. Mclntyre
and Henry Ort are "booming" them
however and there may be other
candidates of whom we liave not
heard.
The Pbess is informed that Wm.
Crawford of Bover is a candidate for
Commissioner of Highways. The
main strife in to-morrow's caucus
bids fair to be over this offiee. Already four candidates are announced
—Porter Randall, Albert Smith,
Joshua Miser and William Crawford
and up to the time we go to press returns are not all in from some remote
parts of the township. The contest
in the caucus ought not to engender
hard feelings. Only one of the
four can be nominated and the defeated
ones, we are confident, will give to
the successful candidate their cordial support. If any enter the contest without this spirit they deserve
defeat.
Two of our prominent democrats
visited Bay City Tuesday. Congressman Eisher at home. Big love feast.
First two explained how they did it

Several more smiles. "Bless you,

man." Another smile. They named their man. Thing all settled.

A very serious offeftse charged
against a very prominent citizen of a
very near township promises to
make a very unsavory scandal in the
very near future. The Pbess would
require that the story be verified be
fore it says very much about it.

It is gratifying to know that at the
outset the new Council is agitating
the question of increased protection
against fire in the village and that
the Trustees seem determined to act
promptly and judicious in the matter. Not only are additional cisterns j
needed in the vicinity of .business
blocks, but in other parts of the village where now many dwelling
houses are without protection,-means
should be taken to insure a supply
of water in case of fire. The council-
men will no doubt arrive at a sensible conclusion as   to   the   course

keeper, went to Mt. Pleasant a few
days ago, and having filjed up with
"fire water" he commenced to whoop

was arrested on the complaint of Peter Ford, night watch man, and
brought before Justice Beveraux,
when he pleaded guilty to the soft
impeachment. On payment of $2
and costs William was permitted to
trot back to Meredith, a poorer, if
not a wiser man.
