C. Bergln for County Clerk.
The doniand of Eastern Kent for :i place on the oonuty ticket; having been refused by the Republican con-vention, the Domocratic convention August S will bo asked to give this Hection suitable recognition. Chris-topher Hergin, for several years supervisor of Lowell township and president of Lowell village, present village trustee and for twenty-two years an honored citizen of the county, will be pushed for a place on the ticket, probably for clerk or treasurer; and when nominated will have the almost undivided support of this township as well as a big majority in the whole of Eastern Kent, That he will be nominated goes without saying. The situation makes it so necessary that the Dem-ocratic convention could not do oth-erwise and use horse sense.
The Ledger $.100 per year.
BOW IT WAS DONE METHODS BY WHICH LOW
ELIiCA MM DATES
Were Turtied Down by the County
Convent ion.
Kriends of Will M. Chapman and Dexter (J. Look will be interested in learning the methods that were employed to defeat those gentlemen for nomination for clerk and treasurer respectively. The following account from the Grand Rapids Democrat we republish in the interests of decent politics to give our readers a chance to apply the proper remedy:
T o put it mildly, many of the good Republicans of this city were terrib-ly shocked when they learned the names of the men their convention had nominated for county officers. Some of these good men were them-selves delegates in the convention and^ealized at the time that all was noCvright, but the clever schemes were slipped through so smoothly that they were powerless. When the third name was placed on that ticket one of the leading candidates for prosecuting attorney, and up to that time considered the winner, re-quested -his manager to withdraw hi* name, as he said he would prefer to lose the office rather than have his name on a ticket with that of a man he could not defend.
The methods employed in nomin-ating the ticket have been discussed much since the convention and to a certain extent probed. A story was freely circulated Saturday by lead-ibg Republicans to the effect that a combination was formed on the morning of the convention btweeen the five succesetul candidates on the ticket below probate judge and they pooled their strength. They, ac-cording to the story, put in $300 each thus making a purse of #1,500, which was to be used to buy the votes of doubtful delegates. That this money was placed in the bands of County Clerk Thomas and Reg-ister Griswold and used when ab-solutely necessary. A dozen and more Republicans stated that Sat-urday that they had positive proof that such a combination was formed and that the money was paid in. They went so far as to state that William W. Hrown did not have the money to put up and that it was put in for him by a friend.
As throwing light on the above the following facts may be taken into consideration. Each of the five candidates received about the same number of votes when nomin-ated. Chapman was nominated by 80 votes, Connor Smith by 78, Frank Cook by 85, Frank Wood-worth by 83 and W. B. Brown by 83. Many of the delegates called on the candidates to whom they were pledged and said they had been offered money for their votes and unless the candidats raised the bid they could not stay with him. The most cold blooded proposition waB made to Will M. Chapmam, candi-dste for county clerk, by the pres-ent incumbent, William J. Thomas.
Thomas worked for the nomin-ation of Lehman 11. Chapman of Cedar Springs, and it has been an-nounced that in case of of his elec-tion he, Thomas, is to have the position of under sherriff. He also worked for the nomination of Will M. Chapman for clerk up to the day of the convention. Thomas and Chapman of Cedar claimed to control the entire delegation from all the townships of ,4Northern Kent," and had offered to trade it with different candidates for city support. Will Chapman had visited these delegates and they had pledged him their support for clerk, and Thomas had solicited their aid for Will Chapman.
On the day of the convention Thomas called Will Chapman one side and said, in effect: Now 1 have got things all fixed for you. You are sure of getting the nomin-ation. There is no doubt about it. But I want to know what I am to have out of it."
Chapman asked him what he want-ed and he began to tell. He said he wanted the best deputyship in the office; and, at this point, Mr. Chap-man interrupted him and said he could not promise that place, but he would promise a position as deputy, on condition he was elected.
Thomas then informed him that he not only wanted the best deputy-ship, but he wanted the entire fees of the office during Chapman's term, in case he should be elected. The matter was discussed at some length and ended by Chapman refusing to to consent to any such deal. The result is well known. He did not

WILL BORE FOR OIL FHOSI'EnOKS HAVE LEAS-
ED LOWELL FARMS
And Will Search for Oil, Gas,
Salt, etc.
C. II. Purdy and Francis J. Bulask, the former an oil well ex-pert of the Ohio oil fields and the latter a former Lowell man, son-in-law of Sam'l Chambers, and at one time connected with the Lowell cradle factory, and both now of Toledo, have been in town for the past two weeks (|uietly investigating oil indications on certain Lowell farms. What they have seen induces them to lease a number of farms for the purpose of systematic inves-tigation. In order to protect them-selves and Ohio oil mfen who are backing them, they desire to con-trol 1,000 or 1,500 acres and of this territory some 000 acres have thus far been secured. The promoiers desire to obtain the remaining leases as soon as possible so that there may l»e no test wells.
p o s s t t
delay in putting down
State Geologist Alfred C. Lane of LansijK; is co-operating with Messrs. PimpPw Lane to the extent of fam-ishing much valuable information. Borings at Ionia and Grand Rapids are the nearest that have been made to Lowell and afford some interest-ing light on the subject.
Loases for the purposes of inves-tigation have been secured of Stephen Nash, Sam'l. Chambers, Will Morgan, Chas. Henderschott, J. N. Hubbell, Arthur White, Dr. Eaton and several others.
These leases cover the right to operate for oil and minerals found in paying quantities and the property owners get usual i share free of all expense. It is also provided that if no indications of oil or minerals are found that the leases shall be re-turned.

Lowell Defeated Portland 6 to 4.
Return Game Aug. 8.
The Lowell base ball team played in Portland Tuesday afternoon de-feating the team at that place by a score of (l to 4. Batteries: Lowell, Rathburn and Jake way; Portland. Speaker and Spicer. Rathburn struck out 15 men.
Frank McMahon umpired the game and having several close de-cisions displeased some of the Portland rooters who were dis-posed to handle him roughly. Stones were thrown, one man brandished a board over his head and the services of an officer were required to protect him from the mob.
This is a poor showing for Port-land hospitality, as Mr. McMahon is a gentleman who would scorn to take advantage of anyone, in a ball game or anything else.
Frank says he has got through umpiring and we don't blame him. However, all crowds are not like that of Portland.
A return game between above named teams will be played here next week Wednesday at 3, p. m.
Turn out and see a hot game.
A NEW DIRECTOR.
M . N . Hlne Resigns and Dr. E. D. McQueen Succeeds Him.
M. N. Hine has resigned his pos-ition as director and Dr. E. D . McQueen has been elected instead by the board. It was desired to secure a West side man to fill the vacancy and the new director has already begun the duties of his office. No doubt the selection will prove acceptable to the members of the school boaad.
Democratic Caucus.
The Democrats of Lowell will hold a caucus on Saturday, Aug. 4, at 2 o'clock, p. m., at the office of .1. W. Walker, to elect delegates to the county convention to be held at Grand Rapids, Aug. 8, and to transact any other business that may lawfully come before the cau-cus. All persons desiring to re-buke corruption in state and county politics are cordially invited to participate in this caucus.
By order of Township Com.
A lot of new music just received at Stocking's.
New line of potted goods, chick-en, turkey, ham, tongue, pig's feet, etc., for picnic parties at McMahon's

First—The prompt repeal of every charter e te tnpt lng corporations from Ihe equal burden of taxation.
SiM-ond—A specific tax upon the great mining Interests of the .••t ue , levied In iKvoHiancc with the value of their e n -earnitl s t o n s of wealth, which ought never lo have been g iven to private con-irol.

THE Republican county conven-tion did at least one sensible thing when it nominated Harry D . Jewel l to Bticoeed himself as . ludge of Probate. Judge Jewel l has ad-ministered the affairs of his office fairly, ably and with an eye s ingle to the public good. In the distri-bution of the legal advertising pat-ronage connected with his office he bas been fair and al lowed the patrons of the office to designate the papers in which their notices should appear. THE LitnoER as an independent paper has no fault to find with Judge .lewell and we bel ieve he is entitled to this acknowledgement; and further that we believe that the public interests will be conserved by giving Mj . Jewell another term.
Oimreaders will be interested in the account published elsewhere in this paper of the shameful conduct of the Republican county conven-tion. If they are not, so much the worse for them. The campaign for tho gubernatorial nomination has corrupted a large portion of our voters so that they will not vote for their next door neighbor without a price. If "God helps those who help themselves," the people of Kent county will do well to he lp them-selves pretty quick.

Moreover, the conven-tion paid Mr. Gi lkey a high com-pliment in tendering him the nom-ination for state treasurer* and the good intent is appreciated by his friends although the nomination was refused.

The Destractlon of Foul Weeds.
[Under this head we will be glad to receive and publish short articles on topics of interest from our sub-s c r i b e r s . EDITOR L E D G E R . ]
Eternal vigilance is the price of liberty, so also, is it the price of a clean farm or village lot. Does it pay|to destroy weeds and foul stuff? We cleaned up an eighty acre farm of dock, prickly lettuce and milk weed in one day but it took four days to clean up two acres on a place where eternal vigilance has not prevailed so long that "the memory of man runneth not to the contrary." It seems too bad to see acres of these weeds go to seed to wash and blow upon the land of those who are try-ing to take care of theirs. One block off Main Street in most any city you can find them. I have seen them in the garden and in the back yard of a lot with a well kept lawn. It is quite often the case that those who neglect are able to take care of them. W. R. Bowen.

Do Vou $« Sight is not an absolute quantity. It
means more to snme than it does to others. There ia only one way lo re-duce these differences to a normal vis-ion. Properly fitted glasses are much more than an assistance to sight. They pruteot the vision against further im-pairment. Wherever needed, the sooner glasset. are used the more benefit they confer. Don't defer using spec-tacles until, l ike g iv ing medicine to the dead, it's too late. Onr examinations are free, oar prices the lowest.

get the votes of the delegates he had counted on and was thrown down. Connor Smith was nominat-ed instead.
The fees of the clerk's office, as Mr. Thomas has run it amount to about $1,200 per year. Tho position he demanded pays a salary of $1,200 a year. It is understood, though, that he did not want this place for himself, but he wanted the privilege of making the appointment. In other words, to put a $500 man in a $1,200 position and rake off. And whether Connor Smith acceded to such a proposition is not known, but Connor got the votes.
The full particulars concerning the $1,500 deal could not be learn-ed, but leading Republicans stated thev had positive proof that it was sealed at 10 o'clock on the day of the convention at Sweet's hotel; and the other candicates were taken into it for the purpose of insuring the nomination of Chapman for Sheriff; that the office of clerk was conceded to Clerk Thomas to barter for the biggest reward for his individual benefit.
While there may be some doubt concerning the particulars of this deal, there in none whatever concern-ing the demand msde by Clerk on Will Chapman for the best deputyship and the fees of the office. This part can be substan-tiated at any time.

Had a big fiesta here yesterday. May 31. There was a big crowd in town. Over 2200 men came in through the outposts and many more women and children.
They had constructed of bamboo, whioh when dry is very light, frames covered in the shape of a bull or a giant, and the whole affair was liter-ally covered with hundreds of pack-ages of fire-crackers and with tubes vomiting fire for the eyes, etc. The outfit was very grotesque and dis-played considerable ingenuity by the natives in getting them up. There was a sort of covcred in place for one or two men or boys to get into and carry the ugigante" around, fire the whole thing and then run around through the streets, One lasts several minutes. Had one loro-bull and one "gigaute" gi-ant last night. We sat up here and watched them from my windows till about 10 o'clock, but the ''fiesta" was continued till late at night.
There were three large bamboo trimmed and decorated arches at three entrances to the church yard and the whole church yard wall was covered with festoons of Chinese lauterns. Sticks of bamboo oo vered with colored papers and cloths and bamboos bent over and end stuck in ground, making half-circles, bord-ered each side of the main streets.

the age of twenty-one when he went to
Catbam to look after property belonging
t o his fathor. While there he met a con-
t r a c e r for the D. dt M. R. R. and agreed
lo take charge o f a gang of men and
stayed with the company until the road
was completed. Mr. Wood was on the
first car ihat ran into Grand Rapids Janu-
ary 1855. He married Miss Betsy Tobias
with whom he lived happily for more than
forty-two years. H e enlisted in the 2Itt
infantry and served hia country until the
close of the war. In the first year hia
company was detailed to assist the engin-
eers audjmechanics and at Bentodville our
men were decoyed into an ambush by the
adversary and lost 80 men and 6 officers
out of 230. Al the side of Mr. Wood in
that battle was your fellow townsman, H.
Dawson, who said, as a bullet struck Mr.
Wood's hat, ''a close call for you Hank.'*
H e waa with Sherman in his march to the
sea. Mr. Wood always takes an active
part in tbe work of the Democratic par-
ly which he Joined aa soon a4 poesible a f -
ter becoming a cit i ien of the United Stales.
I asked him how il was, his being a Cana-
dian lhat be was a Democrat* He said he
was with the Reform party there and that
was tbe same na the Demooratic parly
here and adding "we won o u t there and
we will here too." He is a cheerful and
kind hearted friend and a good citixen.
Long may he be apared to u i .

n«antlM of "Hlue lluomK." There is no color ao valuable in dec-
oration aa blue, nor one from whlcb so many schemes may be evolved. For a sunny room blue may be used entirely, as tar as wallpapers, carpets or draperies are concerned, or blut and green.
A blue and green room looks best with green stained furniture, and ia more appropriate for a library or bed-room, but as this furniture is found sometimes in dining-rooms and halls it may be used there also. For a hall blue "Delamere" paper lends Itself well to a blue and green scheme, but the green must be carefully chosen, as far as curtains are concerned.
An artistic though inexpensive din-Ing-room for a small house can be well carried out in blue and green. Ab there will be but lltle space the walls may be painted in pale blue, and the woodwork should be in a deeper shade. A square of blue carpet should cover the floor, and the window curtains should be of a bright shade of green. A nice suit of creen-atalned and rush' seated furniture, consisting of side-board. table, two armchairs and four small chain can be bought at a mod-erate price, and these with some blue and white ornaments will look effec-tive.
