REPUBLICAN

POLITICAL BULLETIN.

ANNOUNCEMENTS. EDWIN

O. HUNTINGTON, of Sugarcreek township, desires to announce bis name as a candidate for the nomination of Comminsianer of he Western District of Hancock county, subject the decision of the Republican nominating conntion.

WEATHER FORECAST

Fair and warm tonight and Sunday.

POLITICAL CONVENTIONS.

Republican National convention, St. Louis, June 16. Democratic State convention, Indianapolis, June 24.

Democratic National convention, Chicago, July 7. Populist convention, St. Louis, July 22.

Silver Party convention, St. Louis, July 22. Democratic District convention, New Castle, July 22.

Tns Republican State convention did well by the old soldiers, Governor, Liuet. Governor, Attorney General and Black a ad Comstock for appellate Judges.

BOSSES may control politics in New York and Pennsylvania, but they were unable to prevent instructions for McKinley at the recent State convention. The plain, every-day Republican vottrs of Indiana, generally make up their mind as to what they want to do in a political way, and then do it.

THE mandamus proceedings against the county commissioners, will be tried before Judge Offutt Monday night. The demurrer will be argued at that time. In case it is over ruled the trial will then come on the meritB of the case, and that is what the people want to hear.

THE nominatiou of James A. Mount for Governor, is a popular one with the people of Hancock county. He has lectured here a number of times at farmers' institutes. He is an able, honorable, upright, progressive, enterprising citizen who will make a fine Governor, and is beyond doubt, a splendid candidate.

THE cities of this and other states, hav all made great big mistakes according to a contemporary of ours, which thinks 15 minutes a day is sufficient time to attend to the duties of the Mayor's office. The cities, and even the legislatures were of the opinions that more time was required and that a man should be paid accordingly. The Tribune is a pioneer in its declaration that a president of the common council is all a city needs, and that 15 minutes a day would suffice for a Mayor's duties.

THE Tribune still affirms that there are plenty of capable men in thi3 city who would take the Mayor's offise at $300 per year. The REPUBLICAN denies that statement and says, that the Tribune can not prove its statement. If it can, how easy it will be for it to publish a list of the name3 o£ "tha best men in our city" who would be willing to act as Mayor for $300 per year, anl fill the office as it should be filled, and is bsing filled now. We will guarantee that the Tribune list would not contain the name of any of our leading and successful professional men, business men, manufacturers, or mechanic who .now has a good paying job. Greenfield would not consent to have a mayor who does not rank well as a man and a citizen, a man who is capable and able to look after her interests," and one who is able to meet with representative citizens from other cities when they come with a view to locating with us and give them a good impression concerning our city and its business. Greenield wants a representative successful man for Mayor, one who will devote sufficient time to properly look after all matters that need attention and such representative Greenfield men, are above the Tri-i bune's $300 mark. Let it name its $300 men see how they size up.

THE assertion by the -Tribune that the Mayor does not devote fifteen minutes a day to the city's interests is ridiculous. The law says the Mayor shall be at his office each day of the week except Sunday. Now, that does not contemplate running in for a few minutes, but does mean that he shall be in the office ready and prepared for any business that may come before him. It is necessary that the Mayor should keep himself informed and be thoroughly posted as to not only the duties of his office but or all other department? of the eity government. He as the head of the city is looked to as a general superintendent or supervisor of the interests of the tax payers, and the people expect hi ui to be at the office during business hours that they may consult with him. Ex-Mayor Herron, who served for eight or nine years as Mayor, says that it will require four or Ave hours a day to look after the

oitft business

properly. Now what could a man do with the other four or five hours a day. Simply nothing in a regular way, as he could not depend on even that time to a certainty. The people do not want their business neglected and are

willing

pay

a fair price for the work. A man who tends to a very large business interest of his own must neglect that of the city. $550 is not too high for the Mayer. The Clerk and Treasurer do more work now than they get proper pay for.

CONGRESSMEN'S GALL

They Vote Themselves $100 a Month For Clerk Hire.

A.N EXTRA OUTLAY OF $216,000.

Clerks Will Hereafter Draw Their Salaries Whether Ctngrcas Is in Session or Not—A Number of Pension Bills Passed by the House—Night Session Held—Pro

ceedings of Both Houses. WASHINGTON, May 9.—The members

af the house yesterday voted themselves 100 per month for clerk's hire during the recesses of congress. Under a resolution passed by the Fifty-second congress the members of subsequent congresses received $100 per month for clerk hire during the sessions. Yesterday the proposition to extend this allowance to members during the recesses of congress came up in the form of the Hartman resolution adversely reported by the committee on accounts.

It occasioned some very sharp debate. It had the support of Mr. Cannon, the chairman of the appropriations committee, but was opposed by Mr. Dingley, the floor leader of the majority. Mr. Aldrich (Rep., Ills.) said it would involve an additional expenditure of $216,000 per annum.

The resolution was advocated by Mr. Cannon, Mr. Morse (Rep., Mass.), Mr. Hepburn (Rep., Ia.), Mr. Boutelle (Rep., Me.), and Mr. Henderson (Rep., Ia.), and opposed by Mr. Dockery (Dem., Mo.),. Pitney (Rep., N. J.), Tracey (Rep., Mo.), Wheeler (Dem., Ala.), Skinner (Rep., N. C.)andTalbert (Dem., S. C.).

The resolution was amended so as to except members, chairmen of committees having annual clerks, and as amended was*passed, 130 to 108.

An analysis of the vote shows that 114 Republicans, 15 Democrats and one silverite voted for it, and 58 Republicans, 58 Democrats and one Populist voted against it.

The pension bills favorably acted upon at the last Friday night's session were taken up and passed.

At 4:30 p. m. the house took a recess until 8 o'clock, the evening session to be devoted to the consideration of private pension bills.

Twenty-two private pension bills were favorably acted upon at the night session of the house. Among them were bills to pension the widow of the late Major General Thomas Ewing at the rate of $75 per month, the widow of the late Major Theodore W. Greig at the rate of $50 per month and the widow of the late Major General Joseph E. Carr at the rate of $75 per month.

An attempt was made to cut down the rate of pension to Mrs. Ewing but it was defeated. Mr. Pickler, chairman of the committee on pensions, stole a march on the opponents of pension legislation just before 10:30, the hour fixed for adjournment, by having the 72 bills favorably acted on in committee of the whole last Wednesday formally reported to the house. Those bills were left suspended last Wednesday.* Mi\ Erdman (Dem., Pa.) protested against the action last night and the question will probably come up on Monday.

In the Senate.

WASHINGTON, May 9.—The river and harbor bill was completed in the senate yesterday with the exception of the item for a deep sea harbor on the Pacific coast. This has aroused keen opposition, the two California senators opposing the proposed contract appropriation of $.'5,098,000 for a harbor at Santa Monica bay, on the ground that it is a project fostered by the Southern Pacific as against public sentiment and the recommendations of two boards of army engineers. Mr. White of California commented on the extraordinary condition by which the commerce committee of the senate was forcing an appropriation on a state against the wishes of its senators, representatives and people.

MAY CALL SPAIN DOWN.

Cuban Courtmartial Trials Closely Watched in Washington. WASHINGTON, May 9.—The proceed

ings of the Spanish courtmartial in the case of the men captured on the schooner Competitor are being closely followed here, and there is ground for the fear that unless the matter is handled with great discretion it may result in straining the present friendly and amicable relations between the United States and Spain.

Strong representations have been made to the state department on the subject and the department certainly will not fail to intervene instantly if it shall appear that at least all the Americans among the captives under trial are not treated with all the privilege accorded by the rules of civilized warfare. An insistence on this point would oblige the department to refuse to sanction the executive of the Americans.

Although it is not believed yet there is a disposition to carry the case to extremes there is some danger that the Spaniards may feel disposed to go further than prudence permits in the effort to discourage American filibustering parties by harsh treatment of these, the first to fall into their hands TROUBLE FEARED IN MILWAUKEE. l'lie Strectcar Strike No Nearer Solutiou

Than When First Inaugurated. MILWAUKEE, May 9.—The effort of

the common council to end the strike of Milwaukee electric railway employes has failed and the special committee appointed to mediate lias reported its inability to end the troubles and was discharged. The company refused to recognise the union, re-employ the strikers, or to grant any other concessions and the union stood by its original demands.

In the meantime the electric railway tvtipany continues to improve the serv,ui a i:i all 100 cars wero operated •i iiav. The riotous demonstrations :np .thizers of strikers continue. inc stoned, rails torn up and wires a

situation is growing more critical and the police expect serious troublo tonight and Sunday, when all the union men will boon the streets. The feeling against the company is bitter and the authorities look for an attempt to destroy property.
