Republicans In Council

The opening gun of the campalgn for the "off year" of 1890 was touched off by the republicans in tlils county last Thursday, at the court houíc, in tliis city, aud although the day was stormy and unpleasant, yet the lurge number of delegates in attendance proved tkat the grand old party in tliis district was not in a lethargie state, but on the contrary, was "all alive and eye9 wide open." At eleven o'clock Chairman Osband of the county corainittee, called the convention to order, and in doing so made a few very appropriate and excellent remarks He said that two years ago the republican party were confronted by a boastful aDd conlident opposltion, who, having the relns of power in their hands, told wonderful stories of what thcy proposed to do et the polls. To-day we meet under different circumstances. The bnastful and conlident enemy have been defeated; we have the administration and congres; but the enemy is still alive, and is still boastlng of what he is going to do. Mr. Oíband sald he admiied the pluck and couiage of the democratie party under defeat, and but for that undauuted spirit that party would have been dead and buried long ago. He also found the same spirit In the ranks of the republtcan party, but one great failing with them was the teudency to lie down and rest after a great victory had been won, forgetting the fact that eternal vigilance alone was the price of contlnued succos?. He hoped that the republican3 tliis year would not repeat the mistakes of prevlous oll" years, but would eacli and every one place their shoulders to the wheel, and push the great party to succeeding triumphs. For himself he feit glad to say that his lirst vote was cast for Abraham Lincoln, his last vote for Benjamin Harrlson.and every intervenlng vote for the candidutes of the republican party, and believed that he could read his title clear to a membershlp in the great party of the nation. The speaker then reviewed britfly the acts of the party on all great nationsil and financia! questlons, and believed that it stood day the clumplon of the busines9 interests of the country, and the only true friend of the laborinji classes of the natiou. Tliïs year, of all other years, every true republican ought to t!:row aaide any little Dersonal feelinü and come up solidly for the grand principies of the party. Upou closing his reruarks he called Fred B. Brann, of Ann Arbor town, to the clialr, and Peter W. Carpenter, of Ypsllanti, was elected temporary secretary. On motlou the following committees were appoiuted: On permanent organlzatlon and order of business- F. W. Carpenter, Ypsllautl; Jas. L. Gllbert, Chelsea; J. T. Jacobs, Anu Arbor.
