The Prosecuting Attorney Of Alpena

County asserts that there is not a resident greenbacker in that county. lau't that a good field for missionary work. Hon, Ira B. Card mrde a capital speech at Milun on Tuesday evening. The meeting was also addressedby Hou. G. M. Landon, of Monroe, and others. C. E. Whiimajï, Esq., Democratie candidate for Prosecuting Attorney, who is making a thorough canvass of the county, reporta his meetings well attended and good feeling prevailiug. Comstock, the National-Üreenback candidato for Congress in the Fifth District, pays his men in fiat scrip of his own issue, inflated to meet the "wants of business." The Grand Rapids papers quote it at 70 cents on the dollar. Prof. Dickie, of Albion, caudidate on the Prohibition State ticket for Superintendent of Public Iuatruction, has been nominated by the same party as candidate for Congress in the Third District. Is Prof. Dickie inclined to monopolize all the honors, or are political prohibitionists so scarce that it is necessary to doublé up ? Ata recent Eepublican Cougressional Conventoin held in Butler's district, 120 delegates voting, a resolution was unanimously adopted condemning his political course and inviting him to resign bis seat in the Forty-fifth Congress. Bet a cent he dou't do it. The word "resign" is n't in his dictiouary, and he knows how to "stick"' like the late Secretary Stanton. Hon. George W. Lee, of Ypsilanti, Indian agent for this State, comes to the front with a charge that H. H. Hoyt, the National-Greenback candidate for Congress in the Eighth District, has fraudulently obtained deeds of valuable lands f'rom Indian owners, - and in one instance from a dead Indian. Lee's charges being true, that Hoyt is evidently a man after Moses W. Field's own pattern. The one fleeces the Iudians and the other the soldiers. - --■ - --- -.- The Rev. A. J. Eldred, Democratie candidate for Congress in the Fourth District, attended the Cass County fair last week, and is forthwith billeted by the Republican journal as having been "in attendance at the horse races." Several of our city clergymen not suspected of being Democratie candidates might in the sanie manner be reported as being "in attendance upon the horse races" here last week. Our Republican cotemporanes must be hard pushed to find it necessary to peddle out such stuff. Mr. Newberry, Republican candi date for Congress, in the First triot, Wayne Co., has turned prophet. Hear hiui : " I believe that Michigan will poll 200,000 votes this fall. Of t'nese Mr. Croswell will get 110,000, Siiiith 30,000, and Barnes the balance," or 60,000. He is confident of his own election by over 1,000 majority. Iu 1876 Michigan polled over 318,000 votes, so that Newberry has slaughtered over 100,000 voters by his mathematica. Suppose that thoy don't choose to stay slaughtered, what will Newberry 's figures be worth ? If ANY of the farmer readers of the Argus - uien accustoined to work from 12 to 15 hours a day in summer and from ■ 10 to 12 hours a day in winter, and wh cannot carry on thoir farms with laborers working only 8 hours a day- -are disposed to vote the National-Greenback ticket, let them carefully read this declaration from the Graud Rapids platform that "such legislation should be had that the number of hours of daily toil be reduced, giving to the working classes more leisure for mental improveinent and social enjoyment, and saving them from prematuro decay and social death :" the eight hour clause of other National-Greenback-Labor platforms diluted or sugar coated. If ONE man, or two, or three, or six, or a dozen men cannot make an unpayable note, a note with no provisión for payment and no design to pay it, of valué and current among business men, what number of raen would be necessary to raake suoh a foat pOBsible ? And gupposo these same men combine together and cali themselves a government, would such a government be able to get around an impossibility 't thatis, to make something out of nothing. And that is just the task the irredeemable greenbacker, the advocate of a paper standard of valuó, the credulous believer in "fiat" or "absolute mouey," sets for Congress to do.
