An Inside View

One of the leading conservative democratie jooirnale of the jiation, is the. New York Evening Post. It is. no1 d ior its (liepaesional i, coll judgment irf men and mea sures. As the Courier has been crithisrd ior its denunciatkun u' Senator HUI, oi New York, lor the dtehomeety he luis paracticed in cottnting n a democratie legislatura in his state, the following quotation from the Post Le gtron that our readers ïiiiij' kimw how democratie. papers oí mild order, look at it: _ "It will le seen that they nclude 'not only common cheating as praeticed among barglars and confldence men, but revcvlutiouary deiience of ihe courte and fruetratkxn of their lawtul orders by the Goveruor of the state, pora to execute the lawB iaith'iully. All this. though very extraordinai-y - ïor uuch r ■■ ; ' i anscrupuloais men as do not often ihe highest placee in tree eountries - ie :n)t alarming. WJbiat is alarming and astonishing is the readiness of a portion of the democratie party in iliis state tu treat this man as the party licro, and thrust him fewward tis the long-soflaght for lloses who is to show the demoeracy the uay to the ,proaniotl land. ïhoy are aetually gettins laurel wreaths ready for a brow that pi-obably haeaiot ior years nlieltered one honest thought or patriotic purpose.

The democratie national convention wlll be held in Chicago, on Tuesday, June 21st. This decisión is said to be a victory for David B. HUI, of Xew York, nnd another set back for Grover Cleveland, also of New York. llill is the most unscrupulous wirepuller nnd conscienceless politician America ever i)roduced. The flat piccea of Iran sbaped likr the letter S, which are frequentty seon on the walls of old brick buildings, is the anclent gymboi of the Kim. The Nashville America.ii, (Dem.) eays: "Tainmany stands vith a dirk at th ethroat of the democratie party commanding it to 'stand and deliver.' " It is said tliat mail matter can le Beent from Paris to Borlin, now, in pneumatic tnlx-s. It takes thirtyïive minutes for a package to go fro-m ome city to the other. Mr. gpringer's inouth appears to iiave been eonstructod aijon a more liberal plan than was the gray matter in his brain.

Food íor thought froni the Fowlervllle Observer: "Whea wheat was three dollars per bushol. the circulatioai por capita was Beven, dollars less thaui at the present time.

Mr. Gorman, of tliis district, has introducid a bilí in the House propoishiK to appropriate $75,000 for a new public building at Ann Arbor. And this too, in the face of Mr. Holman's resolution pledging the House to the strictest economy, aaid forbidding all unusual expendltures. The amount is too small, Mr. Gorman. If Detroit can be Riven $1,750,000 for a public building, Ann Arbor. tlie next most impoa-tant point in the Btftte, can not be ehoved off with this little pinch. It wlll be but a short ünic 'lM'fod-o Ann Arbor ivill want terms of tin; United States court held here, and when a public building is erectpd L sho-uld be one in keeping wit 11'c gcamdeor and dignity of Uncle Sam.

A Michigan paper claims to have found the forty thieves. Soper is cme of them and David 1!. Hill is the other thlrty-nlne.- Toledo Blade. Chicago was without water for 2 hours the other day. But few of the men noticed it. It was missed in the kitcliens, or the lack would never have been discovered. If the New York World is to bc believcd Grover Cleveland has been bluffed off by his New York rival, and will soon "declare his intentions" not to become a presidential candidate. One by one the roses fall. If Ex-President Cleveland comes here on the 22d of Feb., it is hoped that the Michigan Club, of Detroit, will invite him to the banquet so that he muy listen to some plain truths, charmingly told.
