Tuesday last there was pot much.of a contest developed, after all. The citizens’ caucus on Saturday evening, when there was present a full repre- sentation of @l classes of taxpayers and voters, indicated very strongly what the result would be at the polls. The selection of judges and clerk was submitted to the electors present. A we mite of a political |scrap appeared at this juncture and what might be termed the Magnet following arrayed itself to the nym- ber of about twenty-fi against two hundred stalwart citizens. This demonstration weakened the’ mina- ture opposition, the leaders of which retired to the “ wine’’ rooms, of their favorite grogeries to partake of liber- al libations in violation of the state = at Market {and municipal laws and to discuss the enormity of their opponents’ audacity in being so ballot proof.

A. King proved inviucible and went ip with a reindorsement by the larg- est majority given to any candidate on the ticket. Th village recorder not only has the records to keep but as well he acts as trustee. Both as keeper of the records and as legislat or he has twice proved his competen- cy. He has a most complete set of books and it is generally acknowledg- ed that his judgment is sound on all matters pertaining to the public good, The libelous insmuation in Wednesday’s Magnet concerning Mr. Kiug’s integrity is entirely in keep- ing with the blackmailing methods of that sheet, ami is unworthy any further notice at our nands. Mr. King’s splendid indorsement from the people is a sufficient refutation of the scurrilous attack made upon his | character. -C. E.

Hennessy isa pretty strong indication that he has made many friends since coming to Grand Rapids three years ago, Marshal Peter Foley went through with the rest of the boys for the office of constable with a majority of 55 over John Doran. The defeat of George Riddle and J. J. Decker, is no reflection upon those gentlemen whatever. ‘They were un- fortunate in submitting to the use cf their names upon a ticket that was put up exclusively forselfish purposes bya few pelf-seekers. THE TOWNSHIP Inthe township, Anthony Me- Alpine was elected chairman; V. H. Blood and C. A. Brock, supervisors; Felex Mallette, clerk; James -Passasd, treasurer; W. B. Holman, assessor; Charles Kearney, justice; Martio Dufficy, constable. The officers-elect ate-all well qualified for the positions t@whieh they have heen chosen. | Mr. Dufficy, not being a resident of this township will very likely refuse to qualify. For road overseer of district No. 1, James Juelaud was elected over John Anderson by a small vote. W. D, Leeman was elected overeer for dis- trict No. 2, A Yalnavle Reference Work, The Year Book and Almanac issued by the Globe Company, of St. Paul, is the best work of the kind which has come to our notice.

The statistics are most complete and admirably arranged for intelligent understand- ing. Sixty pages of the 900 which this wonderful book contains are de- voted to Minnesota, and the political information is the most comprehen- the state. County Commissioners Meet. The board of county commission- ers held a special meeting on Wednes- day and ‘Thursday this week. Chairman Rellis, Commissioners Full- et, Everton, Leeman and Myers were present and considerable business of importance disposed of. ..Dr Ehle resigned as county physician, Dr. Russell was appoirited, to fill the vacancy, Auditor.Farrell was in- structed to procure an abstract of all iands patented and not on the assess- ment rolls from the land office at Du- luth. Several abitements of taxation were considered. Superintendent McHugh ofthe poor farm tendered his resignation, and the board made a |contract with him at the rote of $65 per month—he to furnish all supples. of was Bills were referred to the proper com- mittee and will be acted on ata special meeting to be held Marci: 27. Tis Falset Tis Cruelly Ealse!? Grand Rapids Magnet: “E. J, Farrell was elected chairman; A. Beery, secretary, and D. W. Doran and D. M. Gunn appointed tellers, We do not believe that such another gathering ever took place in thestate of Minnesota. It was for the most part a drunken, noisy. rowdy crowd that the ‘element’ had primed with poor whiskey in order to get them to show up, One half of them were not legal voters, but this made no difier- ence, as when'men of their class have athree day’s jag in sight if they act according to instructions, state laws have very few terrors for them.” In justice to the honorable and respected citizens above mentioned the Herald- Review desires to explain that our erst while most esteemed was in ay! “frame of mind” when it typed \he foregoing and didn’t know “ where it relatives were ptesent and took part in the caugus to which the dove tion .reters. ‘Theecaucus was uit four-to one. *4gin” it, and the whole result is charged up to the un- fortunate gentlemen who had been se- lected to preside over the deliberations of a gathering of citizens. Imagine, if you can, the ‘ element” priming County Auditor Farrell, qur ex rep- resentative in the state legislature, Hon. D. M. Gann; ex-Mayor D. W. Doran and Dr. Beery, with “ poor whisky in order to get them to show up.” We are not advised as to what We bespeak for this work person in the state, and we cau say without hesitancy that it is valuable alike tu mer@hant, farmer. mechanic, sportsman or litician. The price of the book is cents, mailed any- where, and, considering the amount trol their votes, the Magnet to the ‘contrary notwithstanding.

Awful” An article appeared in the last issue of the Magnet, under the above cap- tion that. should have caused the suppression by the postal authorities of the entire edition. The subject matter was disgusting enough, but the language used was positively revolting and unfit to.enter any home where virtue has a place. Releved of the moral aspect, the article re- ferred to cannot fail to do Grand Rapids incalculable injury in many ways. This village is no better and it Jsno worse than the average. Condi- tions exist here that are-not contem- plated in the pian of the millennialist, but all things considered, the moral atmosphere hereaway 1s as clear as can be found in the average village or city of the country. Les maison d'infamie that are reputed to exist in this fair village are not so conspicuous that «lt people not inclined to come in contact therewith may not easily evade their contaminating influences. Itis to be inferred, howéver, that the Magnet editor 1s a statistical authonty on fallen feminity and a daily associ- ate of masculine OUtCasts. It is all well enough for the Magnet boys to be possessed of this filthy knowledge atid to rejoice in thew education along auch lines, but to impart it in print to the school children of this community is a crime that should not be tolerated When it is remembered that the vile screed contasnedin our formerly esteemed» contemporary is wholly prompted by a spirit of revenge be- cause the couneil-elect is not of its choice, the action of that paper be- comes the more.abharrent in the eyes fact that the Magnet.» t would support and.astist: to--clett 2s p- the. very lowest: that it attitude is clearly that of the mailer.
