Among Our Exchanges

Tbc Grand Rápida Eagle had a fine specimen of the republican chanticleer n its last Í9sue. It beats anything fhown in that ÜDe. The la.st issue of the Allegan Journul rivals the great American Puck in wit and humor. It representa many funny election scènes of the late cawass. The Big Rapids Pioneer Magnet went daft over the election, and its issue of last Thursday is fearful to look upon. Every conceivable breed of f'oul is represented, and a stock of cuts that would start a young type fouudry. The Bellevue Gazette accuses the territorios of voting for president. Don'tthink thcy did it. And it is a thing to be conKratulated over, that not a MorinoD vote of polygamous Utah was given President elect Garfield. The Weekly Telegram is the name of a very neat looking little eight page sheet, from Otisville, Genesee Co., Thos. W. Siuiington, editor and proprietor, wliicli has found its way to our table, and ujon our exchange list. The Quincy Herald, one of the neatest and "newsyest" of our exchanges, has just entered upon the third year of its existence. lts editor and proprietor C. V. R. Pond, knows how to niake a sterling, red-hot, republican campaign with his paper. May its crowing capaciiy never dimioiab. of the future prospects in Macomb county : "Macomb county has forsaken heridols, and is returning to her first love. Of tliis there 8 no doubt. If an election were held to -morro, she would go republican by a majority of several hundred. If the comiug two years are markcd by earnest, aggressivc work on the part of republicans, this county will be redeenied. We urge upon all republicans the necessity of tliis work. We have niuch to encourage us. Let the next two years be a continuation of the campaign. The Detroit Evening News thus consoles the democracy ; "There are reasons for believing that the democratie party has fought its last great campaigo, and mauy excellentrcasons why it should not attempt another under its present name and organization. For six successive presidential campaigos it has made up it platform and tioket, appealed to the people, and been defeated. One or two reverses might pass as accidents of the day, but to be persistently and severely sat down upon on every occasion for a quarter of a century shows a radical defect in the party that cannot be explaincd away, and a fixea determination on the part of the pcople that it is folly longer to disregard." The Dundcc Reporter has tuis item respecting one of its old citizciiJ, and a record ol a well spent üfe : "l'ncle Daniel 'an Pelt, in all probability the oldcüt voter in this or any adjoining eopnty, caine in last Tuesday and vnted ;i -(riight republican ticket. Mr. Van Pelt was 103 years old in June last, and is as smart as many men of seventy. Politically, he was alwnysan old Whigup to the organization of the republican party, when ho l'-'ll into line with it, believing it to be the part of universal frecdom and to whioh party he has ever been true. In tho great contcst now ended he fclt a lively interest, Mint feit that it was his duty to vote for (iartield, Arthur and the whole ticket. In conversution with him he told us that hc had voted for botb the Adams and every Whig candidato after, and for every candi - date nominatcd by the republioan party for pr.'M'leut. "
