Law And Order Meeting

Mu. Editor: - The spirit movelli me to write. The small uand-bill posted up and distributcd througbout the city last week hcaded "citizen's law and ordei meeting." was a fraod, a delusion, and a snare. A stranger in our city on reariing thtt notioe would conclude tbat Ann Arbor was a riotous and disorderly city. But it is not so. Uur city during the two years of Dr. Kapp's mayoralty has Ueen entirely free from such demonstrations, and his uovernment bas on the whole been satisfactory. Our citizens were not ------ H t tl - - - IMI misled by thxs hanuMnH, they could see the "ear marks," aüd knewfrom whom it proceeded. It was the last dying effort of sereral self-appointed prohibition politiciaus. When the red ribbon reform club departed from their principies and good work, and went into prohibition and politics they sealed their doom. Their best friends withdrew and left it under the leadership of Chas. Boylan, John Schumacher and Eider Bpeuce. Charley made his last speech beforé the city convention Saturday evemng. Let him now retire to private life and spend his declining year3 to going ! going ! ! going ! ! ! gone. ! Let Johnny go back to his tinshop, and let Eider Spence go (as he once intended) as missionary to the Cannibil Islands. He need not feel ifraid to go, for when the catives come to see him they won't car to eat him. These leaders having gone back to their callings theu let the red ribbon reform club, re-orgauize and stick to their by-laws and original purposes and leave prohibition and politics alone. Then will they gain and merit the estcem and good will of all right minded citizens. Yours, &c, Aun Arbor, March 21, 1882.
