Of onrsi1 ir may have private imformaion to that effect, bnt the public an-ïmincement was to the effect that a man by the name of J. H. Bankhead, secured tln chairmanship named. The republican state convention to end lcl, .trates to the republican n.iional convention to be held in Mlnuapolis. will meet in Detroit 'on May th 1892. May it be a rousing one bat will send a thrill throuRh the jitire party oí the state. There has leen so much corruption.

Tho demócrata have been huntius evory nnok and corner since they have been in power in this state to uoearth some repiiblienn chleanery, and have talled to find any toimcover. It is a pretty thin dodge for this bounced official to boo-hoo to the public and cry that the other iellow did it firet. There is no excuse for Kalfeaeanoe in office. Jamrs A. Etandall has been award(1 S verdict of $11,000 by a Detroit jury in his snit tor Ubel against The Detroit Evening NewB. A biic reraict, and one that wlll probably be s?t aaide by the supreme court as beins exoeaglve II tor nothing else. Detroit jurii s are queer concerns. A recrnt body 0Í 'that kind awarded a firm a greater damage against the Dnion Deixt Co. than its whole outfit, land, and all, is said to be worth. The jM-oplc who compose juries there appear to have elther mighty poor judgment or no conception of values. The Ypsllanti Sentincl. alter quoting a recent article in the Courier recitlng eeveral lamp-exploBiona in this city resulting f rom the use of squawbuck uil, invites thi.s paper to makc proo.; - "guch as would be admitted in a court of justice" - that there weie anv cxplosions, tliat the oil used was berosene, tliat it was the nnv bwl oil, etc. The particulars were all given in tlie article quoted, wlth tbe namee of the people at whose liouses the explosione ocurred and the arnount of losses sustained. If that isn't sufficient to convince the Sentinel man, he can come up and Investígate for himself, it wlll not cost him anything. The names af the insurance coinpanii'S that paid these loses can also be given if it wlll be of any particular aesistance. It is useless to attempt to conince a man who wlll not be convinced. If evory year we would root out one vice, we should breóme porfret men, -Thomas á Kemper.
