For Regent Of The University, Major Peter N. Cook, Of The 10th Michigan Cavalry

Attention ! Commies to the Front ! At the coming spring eleetion one soldier's name will be prcwented to the citizen8 of Michigan as a candidato for one of the Regents of the State I'niversity, of whii'h institution he is a gradúate. He is a man of marked financia] and ezecutive ability ; las coinpetency to fill the position we have never heard questioned, and we belieye him to be a! leasi the equal of either of the candidates on any of the othei tickets. It is nol a partisan office and should never be made one. Therefore, vo. bis oíd soldier eomrades of the Tentb Michigan Cavalry, whose snord we have followed on niany battle lields in tlie dark daya of the sixties, with whomhe went out at its organization, and with whoui he served at the front, until the close of the war, present him to the citizen ssldiers of Michigan, and ask for him your support as the soldiere' candidate for that office, he being the only soldier before the people on either ticket. Having a soldier who is the equal in all other respecta, and in addition a brother comrade, we ask and expect all old soldiers who are now citizens of Michigan, from whatever state they eerved, will make our cause their own- will join with us now as we have joined with them fora like purpose when asked to before, and we we will again carry the soldier to the front, and prove that one class of citizens have not forgotten the past, and still believe the interests and institution8 of the country are as safe in the hands of the men who received their baptism on the battle field, and whose political faith is country firet and above all else, even life, as it could be elsewhere ; and that a soldier's faith in his comrades, now as it was at the front, is the one thing he will never find misplaced. Then comrades to the front! Bring every vote you can muster, and when they are counted it will be known the old soldiere were once more in line. Ord. Sergt. John L. Banks, Pres. Co. Organization. Q. M. Sergt. David F. Tyler, Sec'y. It begins to look as though even the "stuffed prophet" Cleveland will not have a great walk over getting the next presidential nomination. Senator Harris of Tennessee has come out with the declaration that since Cleveland's silver letter he cannot become the candidate of the democratie party. Blackburn of Kentucky says the same, and now comes Voorhees of Indiana, whö has always supported Grover, and says : "Such an expression from Senator Harris means a great deal, for his long experience as a politician and his great influence throughout the south will have mach weight with the demócrata. The next democratie convention will certainly insert a free coinage plank in the platform and permit of no doubtful or uncertain declarations on that subject. The democratie party will then nomínate a man who will stand upon the platform. The party caunot afïbrd to warp its platform of principies to suit the personal qdalifications of the nominee. Jío, sir; no man or party can be elected who opposes free coinage of silver." Thus his followers are deserting him, and his day seems to have come and gone. AfterSo years of anxious travail the democracy of Jlichigan labored, and then brought forth our present legislature.
