The Ypsilantian And One Or Two Other

smaller papers are kicking because The Ekgistbr does not fall in line and endorse the course Mr. Allen has seen fit to pursue in regard to the postoffice matters in Ann Arbor. If the gentlemen will just come over here and test the atmosphere around the place they will changetheir tune. There is nothing like seeing a thing from the proper point of view. The Courier seems to delight in repeating the ridiculous assertion that The Register never has an opinión of fts own, and then tells how, from time to time, it has changed its views. How aicely these two statements harmonize ! If the Courier would change its opinions oren though poor as they are, it would show some signs of progress, a thing which would be quite different from its history during the past six years.

Sorne memher of the concern must have an office or the mischief is to pay. The Courier, under its present management, has cost the republican party of Washtenaw county far more than it has ever done for it; and now to pay for a few dollar's worth of service, principally for one of the party's candidates, it demands the best office at the party's disposal, whether or not it tramples on the wishes of nearly half the republican party that patronize the office. That's the dif.
