Let There Be Peace, Brethren

Not only is the Allegan Journ.il, hut its editor, Don Heud.irson is personally engaged iu bringing about the nomination of senator Tom Palmer of Detroit for povernor. Don is a host in himseif nnd wiil leavc 110 itone untiirned to acoouiplish his object, llia newspaper is Htalwart of' the stalwarts to a dpgree beyond decency in treatment of opponents. He is consoious in the belief that the mantle of leadership of the republioan party of Michigan was bequeathed to him by the late senator, whoni ho peg. Ilis leadership in hia oounty is sa repngnaut, his bulldozing so defiant, hig deterinination to crush out all oppoitiou within his own party eo flagrat, that republican neighbors tired of abueo though the columns of bis journal launolicd an opposition paper last week. The track is not clear for would-bo governor Palmer. A dangeroua barrier was set np in Detroit by tho selection of tha chairman of the state cointnittec Paliner's candidate being beaten. The prese, too, protest against tho crowding of Palmer upou the party. Our cotemporary, the Advian Times, published ftt the home of the present ezucutive and pre8uiaubly refltcting his sentiments, uttera ft word of warniug in tbe annexed extract: "The Allegan Journal is theacknowledged organ uf thu "boom" for Hon. T. W. Palmer, for Governor. And we are uorry to see that it is inclined to run aiunck agiiinst ar.y Republicana who io not at once give adherence to and help forward the fortunes of its favorito. It attacks the state couuniltee, attacks prominent Republicana who are outside tce comniittee, and acts generally in a buinptious mul ill-uatured nianner. It seeni8 to crack the party whipsoraewhat too much, and to propose to niake fealty to Senator Palmer the test of Republioantsm. Now, this ia all nonsense. It is worse than a crime ; it ia a blunder. Any other Republicau in Michigan has equal righta with Senator Palmer to aspire to the Republicau notaination for Governor. If that gentleman is wise, he will cali off bis dogs aud not allow them to attempt to dragoon the Republicaus of Michigan into nis support. If these superservicetiblo lïiends of his were andoavoring to compasa his def:U they could take no surer way thiin the one they arv pursuing. It is time to cali a bult. It is a somewhat new idea in the politics of the state that tho friends of oue prospectivo candidnte enfteavor to uiake capital for üitn by attacUing others of equally good standing iu the party. Süme time eince the Alliigan Journal annour.ced that Mr. Palmer wonld be noininated for Governor en the first ballot. It is lome months yet to the convention, and we prophesy if Mr. Palmer's frieuds continuo thei present course. he will not be placed i the race." A conference of the national greenback-labor party held in Washington last week concluded to hold a national eonvontion in Chicago June 9. The aiaeting was disorderly as usual. Evory one present deemed himself a statesman and wauted to talk and would talk deapite the chairman's attempt to uiaintain order. Dennia Kearney, the mnd lot orator imposed hiuiáelf upon the assemblage disgraóing it so far as he could by guch assertionsas "The republican party is run by uational-bank directors, ironboofud ecoundrels who were shod in heil," democratio party is run by tooU of these soouudrels" "if the Ameiican people had any courage they would hang John Sherman," &c. This languago must havo beou highly ödLfyini; to the unsexed feraale-suffraga shriekers presont who seem williiig to withstand a great deal of profane and obscene oratory if they can gut Ihetnselves before the public.

In the big city where one man knows littla of the habita of his iatimate friends, Bogert led a diasolute life dyiug in a disreputable house, those who had unbounded coafidence in him not knowing of his inside life until receutly. Dis grace and failure are thus brought upon bis sons and partners in business. Cleveland has au eocontrio oíd baohIüt wuo inherited a fortune acquired in. a singular manner.
