Do you want prosperity- look around y ou 'i __ There is a very evident revival in pension claims. Evidently some people have increased hopes. Goveruor-Mayor Pingree of DetroitLa using thinks'of running for re-electitui as mayor of Detroit, while still holding on to the governorship. There was a tretnendous crowd in Washington yesterday, and every tbird man was au oflïce seeker. Some idea of the hunger may be gained. President McKinley's iuangnral message is au excellent straightforward message. It will be fonnd on our first page. _______ Our state legislators wanted to attend the inauguration at the expense of the railroads, but after conversing with their constituents over Sunday, they dared not do so. The gold democratie convention at Grand liapids, Wednesday, nominated Dan P. Foote, of Saginaw, for justice of the supreme court, and for regents of the university, Lev i L. Barbour, of Detroit, and Edwin F. Sveet,of Grand ïtapids. McKinley is president. The man whom the elections of 1892 were supposed to have politically killed for all times, is the highest official in the land. Such are the mutations of public opinión, such the fickleness of the citizen voter. Cleveland retired from the presidency not as popular as he wentiuto it, and not as popular as he will be Borne years henee when history writes its verdict. Hissecoud administration feil upon hard tiuies, times for which it was not responsible. The country has not been prosperous and in the minds ot many the Cleveland administration has been held responsible for it. But history writes its verdict dispassionately and after a lapseof years. But very generally already the people recoguize the strong rugged character of ex-f resident Cleveland. The gold wingof the democrats made the mistake of putting a third ticket in the field at Grand Rapids, when they had so good a man as Yaple offered them by the silver wing of the party. These same men have been ardent supporters of Yaple in the past, and he is j ust as good a man now as he ever was, with the added experience of an honorable judicial career. Of course Regent Barbour richly deserved re-election, but the gold wing of the democrats, bein? now of no particular use to the republicans, cannot bring this about. A wise move for them to have made would have been to declare their principies and recommended a ticket for their following to vote. This would have made their votes effective, would have shown their strength, and would have elected as good a man as Yaple, judge, while jiow the gold democrats can simply Foote it during the campaign.
