Dear Sib - The Republican State Ceu tral Coiuinittee have instructed me t notify you that, for the general purpos es of the campaign, you have been as 8essod per cent. on salary. The amoun is $ which you will oblige by trans mitting at once to S. D. Bingham, Lan sing, Michigan, making all drafts and or ders payable to him. Tho receipt viï, be promptly acknowledged, and the mon ey faithí'ully expended for ihe Eepubli can cause. In all cases vouchers shall b taken and expenditures submittcd to th approval of tho committee. The exciting campaign of 1872 ex hausted the resources at tho disposal o the State Committee, and not withstand ing the majority of 00,000 of that elee tion, the same necessity exists for activ work and abundant means as in the pas1 For the circulation of Eepublican paper and documents the committee are espe cially in need of funds. The active cam peign will be short, and a large portion of the work must be done prior to the noinination of State and Congrossiona tickets.

' The same necessity for active work exsts ;" indeed does the Eepublican party comprehend this ? Is not there a greater necessity than ever before ? Ah, Gov. Bagey, you can't fiddle for a " Dutch dance " and a " prohibition fandango " at the same ime. Woman suffrage, high salaries, Grautism and crusadeis are a big load, and will give the republican party the colic this fall. But then let those who lanco pay the fiddler, even if the dance end in a row.
