Lea Morse wilt cot Le elected got
ernor of Michigan toda. Tbere are
few democrat that belief he will t
aad aa rejiiAlicac. He ha made the
race naddurajptid from the post. The
I ce ha been too rapid for him, and at
tix.a wiiLng when John T. Ilicn is at the
wire, Mors i not jet iato the home
treten. Uuja case of naming, pure
aads.mSre. The friend of. Mr. More
twtlird hi head w.th the idea that he
ia popular'witn tae ruajitis. He isn't,
He un't popular with the clause that
Is to sat, the veterans and workingnien.
He m popular with the men that lire
ia expectation of appointment tooffice,
tut ture hi popularity end.
He didn't want to leave a aure thins
on the Ltnca fur a aure defeat at the
polls, but thud fellows nagged him to
do it. He wn presented a a rand.date
for the f ice-prtSidency xu the demo
cratic national convention and received
the voU of his aUte and several votes
from Georgia. The naggers thought
that wa a great honor. The circum
stance was a painful one to thosa in
attendance upon the great gathering.
His name fell upon thef thousands like
a chunk of oleomargenne on a cold
griddle cake. He was not in it. The
name of Dan So per would have pro
yoked as great enthusiasm as that of
Horse.
Hut the democratic papers made
much of it. He was forced, nagged,
into prominence lor the gubernatorial
racs. He was groomed, curried and
rubbed down to sprint against Winans.
Winans, alTrighted, scratched his entry,
and Morse stood without an opponent.
Then his head expanded. He was
eag-er for the contest and champed his
b;U while wa.ting for the word. He
got it and since then his eifort to keep
at Kich's wheel has teen labored and
painful.
There is no hope for Morse. He is
defeated even before the polls are
opened. Ilia popularity is a myth.
The soldier vote is arrayed against
him. The farmer vote stands affronted
by the reckless charge he made against
the farmer at Isphemmg. The work
ingman naturally turns from a jurist
as out of sympathy with his demands.
The cold, cheerless rays of the Novem
ber sun will creep into Morse's lonely
bedchamber tomorrow morning and
they will bear to him the sorrowing
menace cf defeat. He will rue the
day that he permitted hia too exuber
ant friends to nag him from the tench
and a fat salary to the alough of des
pond and no salary at all.
HEAVY KKtilSTUATlOX.
This year's registration ia phenomen
ally largo. The total number of regis
tered voters is reported to tne city
clerk to t 19.33 1- Ta.s, aside from its
pol;t:cal significance, indicates a popu
lation approximating 100,0)0. The an
negation of new territory will account
for a fraction of thi remarkable in
ere, but the true cause is located in
the prcsyerity of the c.ty and its at
tractiveness as a place of residence for
wg"erars.
It i d.i'aeuli to analyze the political
s:gn;ccancrt of th heavy registrat;on.
It m not.cable thit tie largest in
cre. are ia the tilth and seventh
ward, whpre the citizens arc largely of
foreign birth. It mum le conceded
that m the wards the generosity of

of hi negative character rather than
by virtue of auy public act or utter
ance Cf hia during the past fur years.
In Uw campaign ot four years ago
the Ur:3 issae was lei sharply defined
than now. Mr. Cleveland's letter of
Ikrcen.ber, 137. hpwever, ha,l uualter
atly fixed the guage of battle. The
platform was evasive on that question,
but the people accepted Mr. Cleveland
and his letter aa the real party declar
ation of principle. Thi year the
democracy throw aside all caution
and bold y declares for practical free
trade. The difference in the condition
then and now l tnat the party is com
mitted to free trade, wherea before it
was s;mply Mr. Cleveland.
The democrats cannot expect to win
on an ieue that has once ten repudi
ated and renounced by the people.
The people are not prepared to wel
come any proposition that entails prob
able disaster. They pronounced their
verdict to that effect four years ago,
and they will pronounce a like verdict
today. It is the unsettled conviction
that a mistake was made four years
ago that Wads the democratic mind in
to the error tnat it will be corrected
today. This conviction is elusive and
delusive. Were it not for such fancies
springing eternal in the democratic
breast the party would have disinte
grated years ago.
Another inspiration for this confi
dence is lodged in the landslide of two
year ago. With singular fatuity the
democratic mind conceives that the
general distrust, then existing, of the
McKinley bill, exist today. Here
again they are in error. Two years ago
the people were alarmed by the false
and meretricious representation of
impending evils. Every store was a
care-crow and campaign argument for
democracy. For the tint time the re
publican party was defeated by women.
Today the true character of the Mc
Kinley bill is understood by every
child. Every yard of cloth and tin-
pail bespeaks its wisdom and benefi
cence. The public mind is set right
and public confidence, then shaken, is
restored. This weapon of destruction
four year ago is the tocain of victory
to republicans now.
On the whole, it must be obvious
that Mr. Harrison will be re-elected by
popular acclaim. The combinations
figured out by hopeful democrat are
founded upon the mistaken conclusion
that the people distrust the policy of
protection and long to try free trade,
experimentally. Such belief is repug
nant to the promptings of common
sense. The democrats cannot win on
a free trade issue. Hence Benjamin
Harrison will succeed himself by the
vote of the people today.
FALSE CUAUOES TOO LATE.
On the eve of election, as was ex
pected, the democrats tried to soring
several surprises, but the intelligent
voter was not ia condition to receive
them. The startling charge that the
republican candidate for superinten
dent of public instruction is ineligible
to the othce came at the eleventh hour,
and if there were tho faintest ground
upon which to base it, there might be
some injury inflicted. As a matter of
fact if Mr. Pattengill held any position
that would disqualify him from hold
ing the office of superintendent of
public instruction he could quickly re
move the obstacle by resigning the
prohibited positions. This roorback is
therefore an abortive one, viewed from
any standpoint.
The attempts made to prejudice re
publican candidates by exciting reli
gious passions i characteristically
democratic. The republican party is
committed to economic principle. It
believes in an absolute divorce of reli
gion and state. It would scorn to be
invested with power by a prostitution
of the ballot to race or religious frenzy.
Therefore tne slander that tho reuub
hcans of this city have bartered with
any secret or religious organization is
in utter opposition to the truth. The
charge originated in tho fertile brain
of the pothouse politicians that have
stood on tiie corners during this cam
paign ready to J")U themselves and the
people' party for a pittance.
llepubhcans will go to the polls to
day with the conscious knowledge that
the candidates on the national, ttate,
legislative and county tickets are en
titled to receive their votes. Without
exception the candidates on the ticket
namd are men of veracity and honor.
They are worthy to represent the re
publican party. They respect truth
and virtue and are loyal to their party
in public anil in private. It is a pleas
ure t urge men to vote for such to
weed out prevaricator and self-convicted
liars, ami to voto for lionet,
respectable and truthful candidates.

BENEFITS OF PROTECTION.
Kpitor Herald Workingnien of
f irand liapid: (irover Cleveland and
the democratic 1 rators and writers as
sert that the wage-workers of this coun
try get no benefit from the protective
taritf, but that all the advantage goes
to the manufacturer and that he veils
his goods as much higher than he
bhwuld sell them as the amount of duty
levied on like foreign importations.
We will prove that this assertion is
abaolutely false. According to the cen
sus f lbdS, for every dollar's worth of
the manufacturers' products of that
year averaged as a whole there was
paid for labor and material the
sum of 81 cents, leaving to the
manufacturer tho sum of ID
cents to pay him for his capital
invested, his own time,. insurance, loees
in business, wear and tear on ma
chinery, taxes, etc. The average duty
at that time on dutiable goods was 47
per cent. How could the manufacturers
have received all the advantage of this
duty on a gr 83 margin of 19 cents?
Again if the manufacturers received
as much more for his goods as the
amount of the duty carried on the
foreign importation of like goods
than he should have received, as
Grover Cleveland asserts, therefore for
every dollars worth of goods he sold he
should have reduced the price to and
have received but GS cents as 47 per
cent on 68 cent added to the same
make a dollar. This is 13 cents less
than paid that year for wages and ma
terial alone tor the average dollar
of all our manufactured products.
Mulhall, the great English statistician,
at about that time said that, taking
into consideration all the labor that
enter into the development of the ab
solutely raw material from the natural
product up to the finished article,
for every dollar's worth of our manu
factured products we in this country
paid seventy-two cents for the labor
that enters into its manufacture, and
that in England they paid but thirty
tix cents. If, therefore, as shown by
a ur census statistics, we pay eighty-one
o ins for wages and material, wo are
o conclude that we pay seventy-two
cents for labor, nine cents for raw ma
terial and nineteen cents to the manu
facturer, as stated heretofore on man
ufactured products. It will thus bo
seen that the price per dollar to which
Clsveland says these products should be
reduced (63 cents on the dollar of
present prices) is 4 cents on the dollar
less than paid for the labor alone in
producing the article. Consequently,
if the tariff is removed or greatly re
ducedand the products of our manu
facturers reduced in price, as Mr.
Cleveland says they should be the bur
den of the reduction must of necessity
fall upon the wage-earner or the fac
tories close down. Consider this this
year before you cast your vote to sus
tain the new democratic idea for the
first time ret forth in their platform
that a protective tariff is unconstitu
tional. J. A. Marvin.
MR. WALLIN ENCOURAGED.
Editor Herald: At the request of
my friends in Allegan county 1 spoke
four nights in the Lake Shore towns
lat week. 1 came home much encour
aged for the success of the republican
ticket. I find that the republicans are
going to vote this year, aud eumo dem
ocrats will vote lor Harrison. They are
afraid to trust the political combine of
free traders, free silver and free every
thing. One (ierman democrat taid:
41 We certainly can have no l-etter
money than we have now, and surely
we want no poorer money than we
have now." This represents the con
clusion of many thoughtful conserva
tive democrats.

HOW THE BETS RUN.
Two to One Offered That John T. Rich
Will Carry the State.
Probably Grand Kapids never saw
less excitement on election eve than
was displayed last night. In compari
son with the interest displayed in the
horse races, election wa distanced at
the first quarter.
The only place where there wa any
excitement at all waa in the Morton
house billiard rooms, where pools were
being sold on the result. The book
makers were not overworked. They did
a fa:r business, however, untu 10
o'clock. The favorite bet was a 10 to 6
shot on Peter Doran. The pool seller
finally refused to accept any large
sum on it. A 10 to 6 bet on John Ale
Quoen was also gobbled with more or
less enthusiasm. Ten to six was ottered
on Belknap, and the crowd fought him
freely at those odds.
There was comparatively little bet
ting on general results. A bet of 10 to
10 even-up was ottered that Harrison
would carry every western state ex
cept Nevada, but there were few taker.
Odds of 13 to 8 were offered that the
stuffed prophet would carry New York.
An even-up bet was offered that he
would have 10,000 vote to spare in the
Empire state. Ten to S was offered
that Harrison would carry Indiana,
and a few played it.
On the state ticket odds of 2 to 1
were offered on Kich, and even up on
Ellis. Ten to 8 wa offered on Swess-
berg in this district. The odds on con
eressman finally became 20 to 15 in
favor of Uelknap. Twenty to 13 on
McQueen was finally offered.
Several side bets were made on the
result. Doran' friend backed nun
heavily and generally found takers.
A great many bets are boing made on
the pluralities of the different tickets.
Wagers were laid lait night that Mc
Queen would have 2,000 plurality in
the city. The democratic county ticket
was a great favorite with the betters
last night, but as a local "sport" put
it. "1 bet on Sullivan because 1 had
a 'cinch.' I don't want another sure
thing."
No Meeting Held.
Yesterday's II fra ld announced
republican rally for last night at 1 1 art-
man s hall. Ihe meeting had been
announced for several days by the
county committee, but it was decided
towards the lat of the week not to
hold it. No notice was sent to Tur
Hi.KAi.P to that effect purly a matter
of oversight ), henco the error in mak
ing the announcement. Tins explana
tion is made to relieve the en,barras
ment of some gentlemen who are un
generous enough to think the err.r
was des gnedly made.

THIS IS0UK DAY
George McBride Prophesies a
Republican Victory
THAT VVILLSVYEEP EVERYTHING
Before It The State Is Sure for Rich by
a Plurality Any Where From
15,000 to 30,000,
'Michigan democrat took to the
woods Sunday," said the Hon. tieorge
W. McBride at the Morton yesterday
afternoon, a he entwined his right leg
gracefully around toe radiator, and
tangled up hi right leg with his left
one. "They were just in the edge last
night an 1 weie making for the under
brush. If this isn't the grandest re
publican victory we have had since the
days of tiiaut then I'm a poor prophet
and indication are unmitigated liars.
I never saw the republican of Michi
gan more thoroughly iu earnest than
they are now. They are either going
to sweep everything before them or
else be buried under a most disheart
ening landside. It's cne or the other;
but all the odd are ocjthe first.
Stepubllcaai Eathualaaaa.
I never saw so much earnestness die
played before in a campaign. I never
aw the republican party more thor
oughly in unity ou the necessity for re
publican sucrees. We are in "it in it
to stay, "and Mr.McHr.de unwrappe d his
leg from around the coils of the radia
tor and thumped hi knee twice.
"John T. Kich will not have less than
10,00u plurality. 1 thou Id as soon
think he would have 20,000, and it
would not surprise me anv to see him
sweep the state aud have 30,oo0 votes
to spare, Everv republican lnft( ctn
get to the polls tomorrow i going tu
vote bis ticket straight. I spoke at
Capac the other night and there was a
man there that had driven twentydive
miles to hear the speeches. He etaid
until 12 o'clock and didu't want to go
homi' then, buch is tne kind of men
that will roll up the majority for John
T. Pich tomorrow. He's a winner and
has made one of the lett campaigns
the state has ever witnessed. J think
he has surprised even his most onli-
dent political friends. Iiekema will
ld elected too, in spite of the campaign
that has been wagered against him in
the labor organization. Of course he
won't have so large a majority as 11 cn,
but he will bo elected. Ottawa county
will give him 1,000 majority to show
what she thinks of him."
Mr. Howard Is Confident.
W. G. Howard cf Kalamazoo, who
spoke at Arbeiter hall last night, was a
guest at the Morton during his stay in
the city. "I think the democratic
ticket is reasonably sure of election,"
he said yesterday. "Morse will pull
through all right. Ellis, Schaffer and
To-DAY the 1 5,000,000 voters
of the country will cast their
ballots for a president and vice
president of the United States.
In many of the States, gover
nors, State officers and legis
latures will be elected, while the
members of the next House of
Representatives which will con
stitute the 53d Congress will be
chosen. The struggle has been
warm, but the battle of the bal
lots to day will decide everything.
