The Register evidently still believes that Pingree has a chance of getting a delegation from this county. They inserted a cali for a Republican county convention in their issue of yesterday. The Register says: "The Republican county convention was an exceedingly harmonious afïair. " Exceedingly. As the Register last week suggested might happen, "the better element was overwhelmed by the shrewd manipulations of a few political wire pullers." The Register claims that the Rich men could only muster 75 votes out of 143, that many Pingres men refrained from voting, says the Rich boom was a manufactured one - the York delegation left the convention, and yet everything was harmonious. The lion and the lamb would be very harmonious when the lamb is inside the lion. This year the United States has paid out of its treasury $7,330,044 to sugar growers as bounty for raising sugar. Each citizen of the United States has paid his portion of this tax. Sugar raising is not ahvays profitable. T5ut should the government be called upon to make up the deficiency? AVheat raising is not always profitable. But we have no wheat bounty. Why, then, should Michigan wheat growers be taxed to pay a bounty to Louisiana sugar planters? This question is respectfully commended to the Republican party who passed the sugar bounty, and more especially to Congressman O'Donnell, who introduced the itfil. The Courier violently attacks the Pingree men and calis them Judas Iscariots because they may not blindly follow the dictation of Boss McMillan, through whose hands the pap flows to hungry Republican office-seekers. This denunciation is directed particularly against two or three supposed Pingree men on the slate delegation of whom the Courier says: "It is now asserted that two or three of these deles;ates belonging to the second district are in favor of Mr. Pingree, and so of course were chosen under false pretenses. Such things have happened ever since Judas betrayed his Master with a kiss, and probably ahvays wilt happen." Of course Boss McMillan is the Republican party. Any delégate not a McMillan man, is not a good Republican. Henee he must have been selected under false pretenses and is a Judas Iscariot. How do independent Republicans who are averse to wearing any man's collar like this argument? The Ypsilantian no longer has rosy views of Republican success in this state. Last week it delivered a long jeretniade, lamenting that in the Republican party the office is not seeking the man but that the man seeking the office is stumbled over on every corner. "No man," says the Ypsilantian, "can shut his eyes to the fact that the Republican party courts defeat at the polls by the spirit awakened in the unseemly contest now wagingovercandidates." As to the prospects the Ypsilantian says: "With the present state of feeling and the remembrance of two years ago fresh in the minds of an important element in the party, a victory for Mr. Rich or Mr. Pingree in the convention will be an empty honor bearing bitter fruit in November." And yet the ' tian may be found in the coming campaign denouncing those who believe that the party machine should not be run by self seekers and who jwill do what they can to rnake thé office seek the man by defeating the nominee of next Wednesday who used such deplorable methods even in the Ypsilantian's prejudiced eyes, to secure the nomination.
