necessity Of conceaing the badness ny comblng the

has not only luxuriant growth of new HAIR upon

AUGUSTA, August J
II have been glad to hear that all is well on the sea
board. We, most PROFESSIONALLY, shall carry the
State Many of our citizens have been travelling
through almost every section, and they tell us we shall
succeed beyond any doubt. Gen Glascock who is
not only the oracle of locofocosm here, but sets up
claims to being political prophet has acknow-
lodged that his party will be beaten unless they get
majority of 200 votes in the Cherokee circuit From
the most authentic information we get, 1t will be
impossible for them to get that majority and is even
affirmed by those who have visited that section that
the majority will be for the Harrison ticket ! saw
- to-day, who has returned from the
interior, and he affrms that shall not only sue
coed in the general election but have majority in
the Legislature. So then we think Wilson Lumpkn

MICHIGAN.
DETROIT, (MIcH. } July 29th, 1910.


MICHIGAN Is SAFE FOR HARRISON AND TYLER.
She is democratic to the core and at the core, she
is for the Old Hero. Her majority will not be less
than 800 votes, and | would not be surprised if
Michigan should, in November next give majority
of over 1000 votes for Old Tip
The popular demonstrations-the gatherings OF
the muttudcs-the high and lofty shoutings of the
hosts of freemen here in the West plainly indicate
a ripeness for change Of Administration, and read
ness for a rush to the ballot box-whch is new in
MIGRATING, and without parallel, Sir know Of no
thing to ken it to- but the heartfelt and joyous hope
that burned in the breasts of the Old Pioneers Of Mich
gan after Hus surrender of Detroit and the news
reached these frontier settlements that ONE Of WAVES
OFFICERS was the march to re-take our American
possessions the Northwestern Territory and bring
peace, security, and prosperity 10 people who had
been insulted, reved, and imprisoned, by ruthless
enemy-a people who had been betrayed by their
own General Sir, many of the old veterans of those
DAYS are with us and when they the story of their
suilerings the burning Of their houses the destruction
of their property and their hopes il is enough to
sympathy But they were not destined to suffer
all these prvations and losses long, for Gen HARRIsoN
was marching to their relief The whole people had
confidence in him then; Ohio, Kentucky, and the
West, sent their thousands to rally around the Hero
of Tippecanoc and battle for country the States
were then in commotion-then assembled the multi
tudes; the loud shout for Liberty then heard
throughout the land and here, on this spot where
write hundreds shed for Joy the approach
Of WIN. ii HARRISON and his victorious army Sir
these old veteran pioneers cannot suppress the manly
tear when they tell Of the kindness of Gen Harrison
to them Men who had been hid in cellars and forest
fortrcsses then clappcd their hands and shouted for
Joy The poor imprisoned soldier then released,
and impoverished and starving people were given
three weeks rations, liberty, home and peace. We
are now in the midst of another revouon-civl but
less important We have the same cause to sus-
tain the ballot-b fathers had to fight for with
their own right arms. We have formidable and
wicked foe to meet they fight for the spos Of Office
for our country and her free institutions Then
let every and every State be the alert and con
tend gloriousy for REFORM, RErRENoHMENT, and the
restoration of the country to its wonted prosperity
Sir, Michigan will cover herself with glory--she will
rush forward with shout like the thunder-clap, and
leave the field till victory her with the
honors of triumph both splendid and unprecedented

THE PRESIDENTS PALACE.

The Democratic Reriep gives expression TO the
following sentiments, which have such an Ogtng
direction that almost half inclined think the
Review will be on the side OF Gen. Harrisons Adln
nstration year battling in the Of real de
mocracy.
We are indeed by no means satisfied with the pre-
sent organization Of the Executive department Of our
government, upon which too strong an impress was
let by that democratic sentiment which u Is well
known existed in uncomfortable force IN the Con
yenton which framed the Constitution IL Is not TO
be denied that II presents several features OF semi
monarchical character which are made endurabe TO
the jealous eye OF stern, Incorporating democracy,
only by the republican spirit in which the office must
necessarily be administered, so long il Is held by
the head and representative of party claiming the
character and name Of the Democratic. We dislike
its length Of term. We dislike its extent Of official
patronage. We dislike the quasi-regal palace and
the quadruple dsproporton of salary which have the
effect OF raising the individual however democratic in
character and simple in habits 10 such an inordnate
elevation of social rank and position above the broad
level mass of her citizen peers All these features we
should rejoice to amended
We will take advantage of this opportunity throw
out the suggestion, whether il might not be in many
points of view excellent course, the organiZa
ton Of the :" Smithsonian Institute" at the City OF
Washington, 10 appropriate 10 its use the President
present pdiatai mansion, Ii would be the best mode
certainly Of getting rid of it. For that purpose IT
would be admirably adapted and il would not only be
very important economy Of that sacred fund, but
would enable the institution to go into operation at
much earlier period than otherwise probably possible
Without wishing TO democrdtize 1t quite down to a
LOG cabin, we think suitable residence might be
erected for Presidents spacious and elegant while
simple and unambtous perhaps by others
of similar style for the heads Of Departmental very
moderate expense, and with advantage in its mora
effect, amply justifying the outlay A simultaneous
reduction of the Presidential salary to level Of some
thing to those of the Governors of States
the other high officers Of the Federal Government
on far higher grounds than that of mere economy
would the necessary cost of the reform here
| suggested. Let no at this an insignlf
cant triAe, piece of impractcable democratic
qnixolsm The money which would be spent IL
carting the materials of the Presidential Palace L
throw them into the Pacific Ocean would, in OPT
mon, bemuch more wisely applied than that which
was expended upon its erection
