Sawyer to fill his place at Ann Arbor and if this had not been done Sawyer would have been spared the making of the untruthful remark that "vvhen the war closed we had the largest debt of any government in the world". Alittle research would have shown Honorable Sawyer that at that time England's debt was fully one and a half,:meslarger than ours. On Monday evá-ning the republican event of the f season carne off, with Solón Chases, imported from Maine, as the cetitral figure. He made his Michigan! debut here arriving iresh from the pine trees. He evidently was laboring under some great shadow. He would forcibly sfte some old greenback doctrine and then frantically attempt to engraft it upon republican protection, as a panicea for all business or financia! troubles. It was evident to the audience that "them steers" were trying to draw a load which they were unaccustomed to draw and one which made them swerve considerably.Butwhen Gen. P. Vandevoost, ot Nebr.iska, raked Andersonville over, howling over thedead issues of the past, the auchence sighed lor "them steers" agam. In hisplea for home markets he did not attempt to show hovr protection helps those markets. The reason was evident when he showed his great intelligence and knowledge of history in stating that William the Conquerer, carne over in the Mayflower. Alltogether the two efforts were labored and exhibited great ignorance of the ,que=tions upon whichthey presumed Íto teach.The democrats were jubilant md hope that more imported talent nay come ss republican speakers. We nave í- . Ar'áne and N ebraska and still sigh for more worlds to conquer us.
