Tlie Hlüadala Densocrtt of Oct, Wth publishes what purports to be a set ot L¦ iolutions fizned by Jas. J. Deins, J. W. Helen, C. H. Dewey and Wm. K-ou2h, pledging the greenback support to WUlard Steurns for congress. In relntion to these resolutions we wish lo eay that there wcre abont 12 persons present at the meeting and when thefe resolntions were brought up over half of those present, (who were from Hillsdale county), withdrew and would have notliing to do with it. They had vet fresh in their mtadl nbat Mr. btearns called the greenbackers a few years previous when they held a conventlon ni that city They also remembered btearns bitter light against fusión with "the greenback lunática," as he termed them at the democratie state convention. In this connection we quote the followin", taken from the Thrte Hivers Reporter, a straight out and nut reenback paper, publislied by II. E Case & Son. Reíd it please: Ilon C B. Stebbins laRt niglit retnrned home froin a WVÜf vislt witli f.iends u birlan Mr. Stebblns has no liemtancy n prognoiUoating '2,0ü republlcan mJority n the second congresslonal district Which means that Editor Stearns wlll be fro.en to death in the shuttie.-Lauslug Rep. There is no goud reason why he should notbedefeatedby 3,000 majority. Son E. P. Allen is abettergreenbucker than any of the fusión grave-yard greenbacker from this state who have been suckini Grover Cleveland' ear for the past two years. Allen is R republican on the tarirl' and a greenbacker on the money question. In miuiy respects Allen is hke Ysple. He is brilliiint and man of principie. In the second district there is soiue Ü.OOO greenbiick voters and everyone of them should go for Allen. Stearns is an ohl Bourbon, a Clevelandite and all the term implies. He sliould be buried Out of sight by the votes of men who are not for Cleveland, Wall Street and the soliil soiith. Stearns Is Hifl mnn who pMteflled years BgO In :i demneratk) convcntion at Detroit againet fu.inn with ''ihe greenback lunatics." All in favor of free wool robhory vote the democratie ticket next Tuesday. Oeo. Purdv. of Lebanon, Indiuia, hnrralied for Ilarrison and Morton la?t Thursday, and a man hauled up and sliot him dead. Thut's a sure way of riddini: the country of republionn voters, but never has been practiced in the nortliern states heretofore. Demócrata even goto the low and dirty dodge of hiring Chinese laundrymen to lioiiti out llriiioti fc Morton picture aad mottoes. It 8 ¦ despioable dodge, so thin und transparant that sensible people will be influenced against the party resorting to such trickery rather than altowlng their prejadicea to lead them intoa trap. "An njury to one is the canoera of all,', is a phrase many of our laboring men will reconize. An injury to any one of our industries is the concern of Üih Wge workers in all. The Mills bill effecU for evil every industry, almost, in Mic-higan. It strikes a blow at the prosperity of tiie nortli; it will turn out of employment tliousands of men and women. The letter of the H-m. Swkville West, the minister of Öreat Brltain to the Unit ed States at WasliiiiL'toii, nrglng all ICng lishmen to stand by President Cleveland, is an insult to the people 61 tin nation. It provea conclusivcly, wliat the republlcins have always contooded, tliat Eujrland is deeply interestcd in the sucess of the de mi ie ra tic free trade pollcy as repre sented iu Mr. Cleveland. Minister West better go home. We can run the overmant without ii is inteiference. Saturday, Nov. lOth, Patrich Slicehey will offer at aUCtlOD, on the Fair üronnds in this city, a very choice slock consistug of twelve carriages and road hordes froin 2 to 0 years oM, ilreil by P. Irwiri's Stallion, Membrino Gold Duot and Engle Eye, from well bred claim, It will ba a genuine snle, and the hortea will be driven in Uamese the d:iy ofthesalp,
