If Horace Greeley was allve he would find a phyaical prototype in Alpbeus Felcli. It bas been a long time since Mr. Felch visited Detroit, and much longer since he was governor of Michigan. He is 85 years olil, ruildy of face and benign of mauner, and liis age is most prominently indicated by the narrow, snow-white beard tliat envlroiis liis face. He sat in room 1 of the Hotel Normandie last night, having arrived during the afternoon on the sieamer India. "I am en route to my home In Ann Arbor,"hesald "aftera protracted vlsit in the upper península. The India was detainsd at the Sault canal, being one of the fleet of 150 vessels obliged to wait for repairs at the locks." "Dld you observe any political activity in the Superior country r " "Not much; they are all republicans up there. You maycount upon this fact, that the upper península people will insist upon the state treasury portfolio in the repúblicas state convention." "How about your congressional district?" "Congressman Allen will be renominated beyond doubt, and I believe he will be elected. The only opposition to Mr. Allen of which I am cognlzant grew out of a postofflce appointment. Nevertheless, he is strong and Ihe democraey will have some dlfflculty in providing timber sound enough togive the congressuiun a good bHttle." "And the gubernatorial sentiment?" "I should say sentiment was aivided in our county between Rich and Turner. Neither can expect the solld delegation. By all means I should say Mr. Rich is equally as popular as Mr. Turner. The demócrata want Winans, who would make a very strong run in old Washtenaw."
