Poor Washtenaw

Washteiiuw County gave nnywliere from 1,000 to 2,000 democratie majority, in the last presidential election, and yet Waahtenaw County loses the Indiau agency, wliieh Ii:i3 been taken away froin Gapt. K. 1'. Allen, of Ypsllanti, end Kvun to Mark rttevens (bui not Capt, or Maj., or Lleut., or Sergt, or Corporal even) of Flint becaose of offeoslve partisanship, probably, for you tcnow Allen was bcatcn for congraM by Eldredge, by only atiout 'J votes. Genesee Co., iii wliieh Flint is located, gave abont 1.500 repabllcan majority at the late presidential election. The pen-ion agency, held by Sam'l S. Post of Tpstlanti, has been promlaed to Gen. Parkhursl ot Coldwater, riht in the face of one of Washtenaw's oldest and most prominent demócrata. And yet Branca Co., in wfaiob C'oldwnter is located Lave iibont 600 repnblican majority at tlie late piesidential election. Tliat'a riglit, boys, whoop'er up aain for Klint and for Ooldwater, where they are not able to wlioop'er up for tliemselves. Besides, Flint is to have a fureign mission, also. enlv. the ones wlio set down In upholstered chaira and saiil "aic'um," are tb oue getting the etuffed gooM; wlnle tiiose who pulled off thelr coate and belped bug the gam ara slmply aUowd to smell the viands from afar oil". So wboop'er up again, boys, in old Waabtenaw ! Just as soon as the democratie party gains i foothold of power the old Adam (or old rebel) that llumben boneatli its epidermis begins to crawl out and show iiself. Ilere is a specimen brick frum Hon.(?) Allen O. Meyers, a member of theUhio legislatura, now maklng speeches for h is party In that st:ite: "I wonld rather : down to my grave, surrouiidcd by the balo of rl(ry that surroiindt Ihe name and (ame oí Clement L. VallandlDffham tiian to he the pi oudest general that vore a star la the unlon army." What think our union sohlit-rs of thtt? How do the democratie union toldlera relili theoompany they are training with ? The puur MugwamfM are catclüng it all aroiind and the unklndest ent of all was given them in Xew York laat night atan living Hall Detnocratio meeting when ex-Senator Ecclesia made speech cuHini; them "traitors in their own party and dUturbers." He called civil service a heresy and "oftensive partUansblp" its twin brother. Verily irutitiide is a raiity, especially where contempt for the giver of a benefit exists. Captain E. 1'. Allen of Ypsilantl baa beet 6uperseded as Indian Acn.t ile takes it philosophically and does not blame the democrats for wanting the offices. The place is worth only $1,000, per year, and such a man as Capt. Allen can do better with his time.
