IT has been determined to hold
two state conventions , this year.
The convention for the purpose of
electing delegates to the National
Republican convention will be
held in Omaha on April 15th.
THE motto of the county government -
ernment in the future will be to
"collect more and levy less taxes , "
from present indications , which is
a very proper caper. The man
who makes a practice of paying
his taxes will , then not be com-
p elled to pay enough for himself
and some of his neighbors also.-

IT must be remembered that
the state of Michigan will choose
the presidential electors this year ,
under the law that provides for
district representation , In other
words , although the state go over-
' whelming1Y republican , it would
still be possible for the Democrats
to pull out with one of the electors.
But there is little prospect of a
divided electoral vote from Michigan -
igan , and even if there were it
would have small effect upon the
general result.-Bee.
