What The Papers Say

Saginaw Courier (Dem.): "The rank and file of the Saginaw deraocracy are not enthusiasticover tlieir ticket, niid feel sore at beiug delivered bodily into the care of greenbackers." The lonia Standard (dem.) says that f the Free Press cau't rtnd anything worse about Mr. Luce than the fact that he has been elected to and held a great many offices of trust in his township and eounty, that it better sluit up. " I'rotection," says Senator Edraunds, " leads to the development of every variety of American production and so to the fullest growth ef the nation." And Mr. Edmunds is almost as much of a statesmau as George Yaple.- Detorit Tribune. Grand Haven Herald: " Cyrua (i. Luce -asa dlsayllable, Luce, the ablalive singular of Lux, llght- by the ligbt. Thafs the man and method by which tho republican party will conquer fusionism If tlie Herald had added another word, also change the 1 to r in light, il would have been complete. The Chicago Tribune says: "George L. Yaple, the democratie candidate for governor of Michigan, is a thorough agnostic and believes that Bob Ingersoll is one of tho greatest men of the age. Before he gets through with hls canvass Mr. Yaple will conclude that he has made a 'mistake' by the side of which those of Slosee wlll palo their ineffectual fires." Owosso Times : "The editor of the Times has been In Michigan ever since the Kepublican party was organized, and has never seen before such perfect umimmlty in public sentiment for any other tioket as exisU to-day for the ticket noinïnated on the 2.r.th uit., at Grand Rapids. We predict, with proper efl'ort, It can be elected by 20,000 mnjnrity over the Yaple combination." The Sturgis Journal, published at tlie home ot Mr. Yaplc, gives thia sketcli of liioi froin personal knovviedre: "Wliy, that man does not know anytliing more about genuine labor thau a hog does about war. He hardly ever earned a dollar In nis life at labor of any kind tbat was in any way manual, and is to-day living off the charity of his fatlier. He pretenda to practice law, bilt there is scarcely a lawyer in the country that doos not have a better practice tlian he. Yee, indeed, if it were not for hfs 'daddy's dollars,1 he would not only be the poor man's friend, but would lie one of tbeir number." The Adrián Press has tumbled to the fact that the 3d partv is securing democratie votes as well as democratie tally, and has commenced to glve them a piece of its mind. Here is a paragraph : "The trouble witli the third party is two fold. It ignores personal rights, and arrógales to itself sole power of salvation. Thousands of democrats and republicana are as thoroughly températe as the most rabid prohibitionist. They are as earnest in advocating temperance, as the leaders of the third party. But recognizing that a man can't, by law, be made to believe that it is wrong to drink a glass of liquor, and that appetite cannnt be regulated by law, they believe that the best way to promote temperance does not lie in prohibition laws, but bv stringent restrictivo legislation, and holding men responsible for abusive indulgence of theirappetites. Moral sentiment is such now that drunkenness is disreputable and will defeat anv aspirant for official position- except V. S senator."
