The Ypsilanti Sentinel says, "To the victors beloug tlie spoils."- Coukier. Tbat Is a lie of course. We never said so ; but to whom do they belong if not to the victors? Who has had them for twenty-four years, slnce the republicans have been vlctors? If you have not had them and enjoyed them, the public offices must be uil of old bourbon democrats, and you have no occasion to howl if a clean sweep is mode ; for it is not your funeral. If you have had them, and faltened on them lor almost a generatlon, you ought not to howl, if democrats, followingyour practlce now claim them. If the federal offices, are what you mean by "the spoils," they now belong to the democrats, whose duty it is to see that harmful and unnecessary offices are abolisbed, and needful ones well adminlstered by competent, laithful and honest incumbents.even though, to effect this, "a clean sweep" has to be made; and dou't you forget it.- Ypsilanti Sentinel. Now neighbor, keep your boiled linen right on, for it's co]d weather you know. "You never said so," is the point exactly, but you do say so now. You are aware tbat " civil service reform " was one of the strong "arguments" brought against the republican party before election, by j-ou goody good democrats; but now thac you have succeeded, you jump nimbly down off tbat bobby, and return to the old Jacksonihu teachings. It is not for the "clean sweep " (teno one it will be a dirty one) tbat you bourbons propose to make tbat republicans are lashing you, but for the lying, sneaking, hypocritical way you took to beat your enemies; obtaining goorls unCer falso pretenses; covering up your cloven hoof with an "'independent" boot; pretending to the people to have been converted when you were as wicked and sinful as ever. You obtained the verdict in your favor by " lying like a h'fer " to the people. That's the point we are " howling about." The attention of the legislature of Michigan is respectfully referred to the slaughter of millions of yoiing fish in our strcams by dynamite fiends. If a fish commission is to be kept in existence, and the people's rnoney expended to hatch out tlie cjrgs of white fish, trout, and other species, there must be some vigoroim meatures taken to pruventtlieirwljolesale deatructkm.
