The Democrat appears this week in a new dress from the well known house of Marder, Luse & Co., of Chicago. We believe that the efforts we have put forth during the past three years to give the people of this place and vicinity a live newspaper have been fully appreciated, and it is on this account that we have donned new attire. And other improvements will be made from time to time. As in the past The Democrat will continue to be the best local paper published at the county seat of Washtenaw county. - - ♦ -■- m Our democratie exchanges favor a unión between democrats and greenbackers to which The Demoorat says amen. It is well known that the republicans of the state, if in the minority, would resort to the same táctica characteristic of the party in joining with the repudiationists of Virginia to carry that state. Guiteaü has been hung. The damned wretch who took the life of a great and good man has paid the penalty of his crime. Friday Guiteau was hung, and people everywhere rejoice in his final taking off. Notwithstanding the death of this egotistical, foul villain, others remain in Washington who ought to be hung.

A company of them are virtually living the life of convicta in an arsenal at Tientsin, so stringent is the government in its efforts to eradicate every vestige oí foreign training.

It is shocking to think what might have happened if there had not been a cigar remaining. The plans, real or reputed, of Mr. Alexander H. Stephens seem to be giving a good deal of trouble to the Georgia independents. A few short weeks ago it was announced upon excellent authority that there were hopes of his accepting a gubernatorial nomination, which would be a heavy blow and a great discouragement to the bourbons. Now upon equally unimpeachable authority it is asserted that there is " only one hope left " for the independents, this one hope being that Mr. Stephens may fail to obtain a gubernatorial nomination. If he is seleted by the regulara, the independents, Speer inoluded, it is admitted, will be swept out of existence. In the language of the clerical adviser of Mr. Scotty Briggs, a startled nation witnessing these things can only " grope." The consensus of intelligent opinión, ho wever, seems to be that the independents are in the case of the red man with whom his palefaced brother settled a controversy concerning game by saying: "You may have the buzzard and I'll take the turkey, or I'll take the turkey and you can have the
