Senator Wileox of Shiawasse, elected as a democrat and P. of_ I., and until the recent great steal acting with the democraU, comes out squarely against that party and in favor of justiee and rijfht.

With tliin issue the Commercial beKins its tweaty-eighth volunM, and the lifth ander its present management. We hope 'all onr .exiliantes will pay uh a few coinpliments at tlnn time, tlien we, with the usual editorial modeRty, will collect and reprint them, ander the head of "Unsolicited Testimoniáis." - Ypsilanti Ootnmercial. AVell, here goesl The Commercial is a live newspaper, of not any particular politica] principies, bul with a leming toward the democrat, prohibition, )atron and Industria] partiss, t tirm believer in Coe-ediication, and at heart a true repablican. It gives the newn la ■ ('oinmercial way, and prints "Reminiscences" by its former editor that are of intense interest - to the man who writes them. It runs a Temperanco column, a Snnday Sermona column, severa! county columns, occa.sionally a column of editorial, with DO lack of advertising columns. The man wbo cannot be satisBed in the columns of the Commercial Is B migbty particular man, and OUght never to be classed with the elite, Miss Hessie II. üedlue, of Burlington, Vt., had a disoase of the scalp which caused her bair to be veryhanh and dry and to (al] so freelyshe scarcely dared comb it.
