A Leader Wanted

The republicana of Michigan aro lackig Ib two easential things to political sucesa. Aman who has good executive abilty to take charge of its affairs n a politcal campaign, and a thnrough organizaion. These two things would havc shaken ff theapathy and lcthargy thatenveloped great portion of the republican party at he late election, and given vietory in place f defeat.

They lave made grievous errors as a party and stand hule chance of coming to the front as such. And the republican party by joining hands with tliem hassuffered sore disaster. Tlie time to have cnrried the submission project was when everytliinfr was ready, and the republicana in the legislature stood up and redeemed their promise. Xow many of these legislators may feel that having been trifled with once they can not again be so treated. If the people desire to express thcir opinión upon a subject they certainly ouglit to be granted thc privilege, but this blowing hot and cold has piobably IlUfWud (he popl'i privilege in lliis instance.
