Campaign

The republican state central conimittec üf Michigan have issued the following address : IIeai'm.1 Auijtus State Cjntral Co.UMilTiJt 1 DiK,„r, Mich, st,.u 15,1880. } lhe republicana of Michigan enter, as thcy beheve, upon the Hth term of a sue cessful administration oí' its state affaire, with tho profound conviotion that therc never has been a period when the supreruaeyofthe party was more necessary to the stabilityof the national goyernment and the perpetuity of democratie institutions than ït is now. Twenty years ago their r.PPonents were drivun from long-continued power while struggling to suppress the natural rights of weu, leaving behind theni a debased credit and a seetional war; and the principal inonuments which yet comnieinorate their influence upon human walfare n nsist of 1,000,000 tombstones and $1,900, - 000,000 of debt, During the interval, the republican orgánization hassaved the unión, destroyed slavery, restored business to wholesome relations, given the best currency ever known, placed the national bonds at the highest pinnacle of public credit, built broaderand deeperthe foundations of material prosperity, and given new lustre to both the power and beneBcence of popular government. The issues of the campaign of 1880 are clearly defined. Their expression has been f'orniulated by tho deuiocracy. Itissectionslisin ïgiiin.st nationalism. The sóuth s aain arrayed against the north. With a preponderanea of republican voters in many of them, the southern states are boldly and defiantly pledged to the support of tho democratie nominee. The method which will be adoptcd to accumplish thisresult originated in the south. It is disfraochisement. This is accomplibhed by local influenccs by refaeing employment and threatening starvation, by terrorism and the use of the shotgun when other milder methods are noteffective. The republican party does not desire to perpetúate seetional animoíities, but the issue of sectionalism has been raised aud must be met. It aims to control the governmeot of the country. There is nothing plainer in human affairs than that the success of the democracy means the ascendancy in the nation of the ruling party in the south. In place of a nation over all, we should have a nation ruled by a section. The eandidates loso their personality to a certain extent in the representaron of principies. Gen. Garfield representa in an eminent degree the fairest outgrowth of ican ïnsututions. His loog public service bas demonstrated his statesnianship, while his military record was brilliant and patriotic. Gen. Hancock, with an excellent military reputation, is now the willing representative of the men who led the rebellion, who opposed reconstruction, endeavored to dcfeat resumption, who resisted free suffrage, and who are animated by revenge and tho lust of power. He has had noexperience wliatever in civil lite. üur candidato for goveroor, Col. David H. Jeromo is too welf known to need ex tended introduction. Identified withtheag ricultural and business interests of tho state from boyhood, strong in personal probity in business capacity, in executive abilily, he is a fit leader of the republicans of Michigan. The balance of the ticket is irreproachable and worthy of our united and unwavering support We urge particularly the neecssity of agin sending to the national legislature an unbroken republican delegation. We desire to most earnestly impresa on the republicans of Michigan the very great importancc of uniting in a grand effort to elect each didate for congress, so that the solid southorn states may be met with equally solid delegations froin the north. As a party we have no apology to malee ; we do not fight on the def'ensive ; we are coDÍident of' suecess, and our confidence is based upon the knewledge that we are right. We reeognize with grateful sensibility the extraordinary prosperity now nrevailing amongall the business interosts oftue country, insuring remunerative employment to labor, markets to niinufaeturcrs and produce, profit to commerce and a hopeful to every branch ofindustry. No period since the republic was formed has offered such boundiess assurances of sucoess to thrift as the present, and it would be the wildest folly to disturb this magnificent prospect by entrusting the government to a party that has no deflned ideas of legislation in either finance or commerce. The material interests of every individualcitiren would be endaugered by an experiment so vitally mischievous. We urge all classes of citizens to consider the situación, studythe character of our candidatos, remember the history of the partios, and to unite with the grand oíd ropublican party, that demonstrating to the " Solid South," that in an emergeney the north may still be relied upon, and in Novomber, 1880, be found as united as in 1861.

He had made a loom of what was left of the ono his father had broken up, which he showed to his master. The blacksmith savhe had no common boy as an apprentice, and that the invention was a yaluable óne. He immediately had a loom constructed under the supervisión of'thu boy ; it worked to their perfect satisiaction, and the blacksmith furnished the laeans to manufacture the looms, the boy to receive onehalf the profits. In about a year the blacksmith wrote to the boy's father, that ne should be at his house at a given time and should bring with him a wealthy gentleman, who was the inventor of the celebrated power-loom. You may be able to judge of' the astonishment at the old home when his son was presented to him as the inventor, who told him that his loom was the same as the model that he had kicked
