We roviow with proi'ound sntisfaction the record it has made in the past, and ite unparalleled achiuvoments sa conüucive to th ewolfare of the country, go creditable to its citizenship and so immifestly indicative of the broad charactiT of its national statesmanShip. Admiration of this iminterruptèd progresa tmder its aiit-pies, toward an ideal (2,-overnroent of the people, by the people and the people, is aiot lese thorouRh nor more gratifying than are the bright prospecte of further advantage and future triumphs. "We most heartily indorse the glorio-us work of the repubiican majority in the Fifty-first Congrcss of the United States, and will do all inour power to iiphold and sustaln tlie victories tilnady won the grand triple policy of protection, reciprocity and honfest anoncy. "In the lamguage of the republican national platform of 1888 we demand effeetive legJBlation by congress to seoure tlie tntegrity amd purity of natiraial elections, and that our representativas in the United States congress do all in their power to secure a law 'whích will give to every elector a freé ballot, and to every vote a fair count. "We heartlly pprove the forceful, fearlcss and dignified policy of the tulministration oí President Benjamin Hari'ison, xvlio has been so ably asíieted in all nis sagïueious and loyal 'üdi'avors by that noble patriot and Btatesman, James Ci. Blainie, in the promulgation of truc and progressivc American principies. "While the republicana of Michigan ïecognize the sterling worth and abilty of our distinguished Mlow-citizen, teneral Eussell A. Alger, whose claim to recognition as a presidential standrd-bearer has beeai familiar to the people of t!ün uation eiñce liis name was fiirst presentad to the convcntion at Chicago in 1SS8, we can safeily leaTe to the collective judgment of the represent a tivcs of the party at IMLnneappiiS in June next the solection of a lea who "vill head the trinmphant march of our hosts to victory at the polos in November, pledffing to ttoe nominee of that convention Our unqualiiied eo-operation an dun-. Bweverlng devotion." President Harrison's able, clean, thoroiiRlily .Vmi'iican administration has tmade him very stroiig with the people. The notes of the spring bird menú harinoniously ivith tlie votes of the people as iar as lieard from. All repub[Ican. Why shouklii't. the birds sing? To ifcheiï enerlaBtdng glory bé it inown that not one repnblican inem:er of the hnusc Toti'd for Sprluger'fl 5ree wool bill. Cao any one teil of one single TOte tliat Mr. Cleveland did not (jet in 1888 that. he would get now if he.were run"uingr lor president ? The Michigan Far,mer, in speaking of the Springer free wool bilí, that has ust paased the house, says to the farmer and sheep raiser: "If you wish to Onjoy any benefit from this bill, ■ Blaughter jrour flock of shee.p and start t shoddy factory-" Representative (orinan, it is noticed, doesn't appear at the roll cali very much, but he ism't idle to any extent. Xot he. He and liis private Clerk are bmsy mailing seeds to his iiyrifulturally inclined constituency. "What Avill the harvest be ?" AVait 'imtil next NoTepiber. öpringer'e free ■'■ooi bill would ldll tevery slieep in Michigan, except perUvaps a few that on%ht be kept as feaioe of the buffaloes are, as specimens and curiosities. The greatest enemy of the northern farjner is the congressjnan -vvlio votes for free wool and free trade. He is also an ene.my to every orkingman in the United States. The election in Rh ode Island ought to fimally aettle the queetion of nomitaating Mr. Cleveland. It is well fcnown thiat the Cleveland adherents feiaked everything on Rhode Island. Tt was not a wise iKlitical movetne-ut, but the men are advocating Mr. Cleveland's nominatdon are not toraspicuous for political wisdom. - AdTian Prees (Dem.) The present republican party was Ovolved Iroim the oíd "Federal" party, and the democratie party from the "antd-Federal" party. From Washington to Harrison, the federal party has had thirtee-n presidente, and the atd-federad party froon Jefferson to Cleveland has had thlrteen. Tlie alliance are superstitious enough to think there is a bad omen in the coincidence. - Stockbridge Sun. The republicana of Lima are pntitled to the vicfcor's crown. They Uní ve accomplished what republicans tf other towns ought to Btrive for. The only way to save this country tfrom bankruptcy and dostruction in ia business way, is few the people to iirise in their might and rebuke the party emdeavorimg to destroy the dnüustries of the nation, both ajiricultuTal and anechanical, and to destroy the circulatinc: medium of the country by ïordng free silver coinage upon the nation. The Biaoads, tlie Spriixgtere, the Mills, the Créps are enemies to the prosperity of the nation.
