Waldron's Lamentations

Henrt evidently reads the hand-writing on the wall, or at least sees the shadow of the pen which is to writa it. And so he struggles hard to turn the tide, and procures the issue of a placard giving the votes of his opponent, Hon. John J. Eobison, in the Legislatura of 1863-4. The first egg in the mare's nest is the vote of Mr. Eobison, in 1864, against the 80-oalled " soldiere voting law," and the seoond egg, his vote in favor of amending the title of the bilí so as to make it read, " A bilí to teach our soldiers in the field their political duty, our people a disregard of oonstitution and law, and to make our eleotions a farce." Mr. Eobison did vote against the bilí, believing it unoonstitutional, he did vote to so amend the title, believing that the proposed title would better expresa the charaoter of the bilí. The votes of Mr. Eobison were both sustained by the subsequent decisión of the Suprema Court of the State, Justices Campbell, Tiancy, and Coolet, three Republicans against whose patriotism and loyalty not a word has ever been breathed, and each of whom haa since been re-eleoted by the people of the State, as the nominee of the Republican party. Having indorsed the " recreant judges," it is too late to make a point against Mr, RobiSON. Another mare's egg is, that in the same month of February, 1864, Mr. Kobison didn't vote for, or as the placardi8t puts it, dodged the vote on a pair of resolutions, declaring undying hostility to the rebellion, pledging support to the National Administration, and threatening the infliotion of dire, " just, and merited punishment upon all rebels and traitors " Mr. Robison is not recordad as voting for these merely buncombe resolutions, passed on the last day of a session, after bounty and war loan bilis and all necessary measures had received his vote. His vote for them would have been of no account, and his not voting was considered of no significance, and ioubtless purely accidental, his Demojratic a8sociates having all voted yes. In :aot, the Republicanparty and its leaders have not punished the rebels, and Gen. GrRAKT, in dictating the flnal terms of mrrender, guaranteed the rebels serving n the field against punishment. Another mare's egg is the charge that Mr. Robison, in 1863, voted against a oint resolution indorsing or approving ;he emancipation proclamation, and that ie voted no on sundry other resolutions )f no practical bearing, but gotten up ;o ease the consciences of those Repubicans who found it more to their liking o throw paper balls at the rebels from egislative halls than to face rebel bulets. It ia sufficient to say that Mr. EtOBiSON voted for all necessary and practical war measures, bounty and apjropriation bilis, and unnecessary to landle each of the stale and addled eggs n this Waldron plaoard or mare's nest. Che whole batch furnishes conclusiva evilence that Waldron and his friends are ïard pushpd for capital and are comjelled to resort to desperate means to save lis falling fortunes. This same placard contrasts Mr. Waljron's record with tht it makes for Mr. iOBisoN. What ia it ? He was appoint■d to organize the Eighteenth Michigan nfantry Regiment, and did so, but lidn't go to the field with it, having no tomach for fighting. All this the jlacard shows, and it was rendering no nore efficiënt aid than Mr. Robison renendered in filling the quota of his town md eaving it from the draft. Again, this placard shows that Mr. SValdron is a member of Congress, and jeing liberal, Congressman-like, with the people's money, as he had been patriotic n induoing other men to 'list for the wars, voted in 1872-4 for bilis or acts injreasing and equalizing pensions. And ',hv is all. The feat is no great one, and would as cheerfully have been performed sy Mr. Robison, had he been the member, as it was by Mr. Waldbon. But we have given too much space to this wonderful bulletin. Peter Tuite, Democratie candidato for Clerk is known to be thoroughly competent. He was fairly nominated, and is entitled to the full Democratio vote. Don't scratch his name because of the hue and cry about the " Irish Ring." He isn't responsible for having been bom in Ireland, and should have the credit of voluntarily choosing to be an American oitizen. He rines as a Democrat and an American not as an Irishman. Henry Waldron, present member of Congress from this district, and Republican candidato for re-election, is in favor of a diacriminating tariff. John J. RobiSON, the Democratie candidato stands gquarely upon the Demooratio platform, the platform of the fathers, and favors a tariff for revenue only. A dsscriminating tariff necessarily discrimínate against the great producing classes, against the agricultural classes and ia favor of the manufactures. We say neceisarüy, because the foreign grown produce imported into this country has little or no effect upon prices. We are an exporting nation in all classes of farm produoe, and the prices of our produoe are determinad by their prioe in the markets of the world, that is in the consuming and nonproducing nations. A discriminating tariff diacriminates for the avowed and sole pose of putting money into the pockets of manufacturera, whether individual oí corporate. To do this it increases the price of the manufacturad fabrio to the consumer, taxes the consumer for the benefit of the manufacturer. A revenue tariff is levied simply for revenue, on articles which will produce revenue, and is defended and maintained as a legitímate tax, the proceeds going to maintain the Government and not to enrich individuals. Remember these distinctions when you vote on Tuesday next, and vote for John J. Eobison. This coünty will elect one Senator and three Representativos on Monday next. The candidates for Senator are : Democratie, Jeremiah D. Cokey, of Manchester, au old and well-known citizen, with a good record; and, Bepublioan Andrew Campbell, of Pittsfield, who if the Courier is correot in diagnosing his case, is altogether too innocent and confiding to send up to Lansing. Of course Mr. Corey will receiye the full Demooratio vote and be elected. The Eepresentative Districts are arranged as follows ; lst. Ann Arbor and Ypsilanti',- cities and towns. Candidatos : Democratie, Edwaed Kino; Republican, Ezra D. Lay. Both residents of Ypsilauti town and both farmers. Mr. King, besides being a Democrat, is the younger man, th man of the most intelligence and physical vigor, and can best represent the district. 2d. The towns of Dexter, Freedom, Lima, Lyndon, Northfield, Salem, Soio, Superior, Sylvan, and Webster. Candidates: Democratio, George Sutton ; Republican, George Renwick. Both residents of Northfield, and both farmers. Those who know the two men will coincide with us in the opinión that Mr. Stttton will make both the most intelligent and safest legislator. He ought to have a handsome majority. 3d. The towna of Augusta, Bridgewater, Lodi, Manchester, Pittsfield, Saline, Sharon, and York. Candidates : Democratie, Albert K. Clark, of Saline ; Republican, Peter Cook, of York,- present member. Both are intelligent farmers, both men of personal integrity and commendable habits. Their politios furnish the ground for selection and give Mr. Clark the vantage ground, that is with Democrats and in his district. We mark his election as certain. The Democratic Convention for the the First Representative District of this county was held on Friday last, and resulted in the unanimous nomination of Edward King, of Tpsilanti. Mr. King is now a farmer, living in the town of Ypsilanti, but was formerly connected in business with his brother Charles King, in Ypsilanti city. He is reputed a man of good business talents and habita, and those who know him personally speak in warm terms of praise of him ; say that he is popular, will make a good run, and if elected will make a good member, discharging the duties incumbent upon him intelligentiy and honestly. We bespeak a large vote for him in this city. Jno. N. Gott having positively declined to run for Circuit Court Commis8oner on the Democratie ticket, his deolination has been acoepted by the County Committee, and the place made vacant on the ticket tendered to, and accepted by Tracy W. Root, of this city. Mr. Root is a good lawyer, a careful and correct business man, and as competent to discharge the duties of the office as any man in the county. He has held the office of County Clerk and made a capi tal officer, giving satisfaction to the bar and the general public. His nomination by the Committee adds strength to the ticket. He is entitled to and should receive every Democratie vote. Vote for Tracy W. Root. The Hon. Henry Waldron has been giving hi8 attention to his constituents in this county this week, addressing a few of the faithful at Manchester on Monday evening, and another few at Saline on Tuesday evening. Tueaday was mostly spent in this city, but we fail to learn that he turned the Hurun River up stream or set the " cat hole" on fire. He may hare placed soms uioney where his fuglers thought it would do him the most good, and, perhaps, parceled out the towns to special agenta. The vote on Tuesday next will probably show him that the report of disaffection, and that his opponent, Mr. Robison was to be slaughtered " in the house of his friends," was not the most reliable. William Hanke, who is the Democratio candidate for Treasurer, is conceded a competent man. He is pitted against a peculiarly popular opponent, an opponent who has heretofore received a large Democratie vote. If the party intends to let Mr. Faiachild be elected without a show of opposition, the convention should have nominated no man against him. Having nominated Mr. Hanke he is entitled to the full Democratie vote. ■ i- - -4 i - i i m The New York World has a very intelligent Detroit correspondent, but one on whose prognostications and statements it won't do for one to bet. For instance, he constructs the Second Congressional District of this State out of Washtenaw and Lenawee counties, and brands them both as "strongly Republican." This summary disposition of Hillsdale and Monroe oounties, elimination we might say should seriously disturb one's figures if not his prediotions. The World had better send its correspondents to a primary training school.
