Z" 4 Cla shing of Arms"

A writer in the Port Huron Commercial. IN
relation TO the long-agtated and thread-baEc
discussion % the Collectorship Of Shoemaker,
launches out rather vindictively at the editor OF
tie Free Press, and the probability OF that gen.
teuan's accession 10 the vacant seat of the
Jackson victim. The Detroit Tribune of Thurs
dav attributes the authorship Of the article 10 a
nominee on the last Democratic State ticket. IL
is bitter and discriminating article, and well
calculated 10 provoke further discussion. All III
the family, Here i: is:
1--WE doubt his qualifications for popular
Collector; that is. popular with those who will
have business transactions with him. We more
than question, too, whether his peculiar tact a.
politician points in that direction. But how
ever this NAV be, il Is probable that those who
are urging him 10 the post, have been forced by
mere "stress of weather 10 take shelter under
the lee of the Free Press Now, a. partisan,
We object TO any such "unholy alliance on the
part OF the Free Press. Mr. Storey would leave
a position where he can d0lhe party great good,
to assume responsibilities which We candidly be-
leve are beyond his capacities: We mean that
his appointment would involve new dlscords,
beyond his capacity TO harmonic. Ii is believed
10y many that he might have nlpped the "hole
controversy in the bud. As editor of the only
''city organ" his silence under the grave accu-
sations against Mr. Shoemaker, personal and
political friend of years standing, was construed
against the Collector. The article from the
jackson Patriot demonstrates that this silence
was not because there was nothing To say. NJ.
Shoemaker publicly alleges that Mr.. Storey and
other friends" repeatedly advised him against
making any expose whatever, until after an in
vestigatiOn. IL is also assumed that the Free
Press has carefully copied every little paragraph
bearing against the Collector from the Washing
ton correspondence OF its exchanges, and as
carefully excluded everything favorable TO him.
Numbers of Democrats are uncharltablc
rs to assert that Mr.. Storey would at any time
risk party peace against personal gain. We say,
we regret that Mr.. Storey has become personally
identified in the controversy; and We regret II
because the position gives a deep color of truth
to all such allegations, and to the not very hon
Orabe sequences rcsultin. from them. We re-
greet it because Mr.. Storey was beginning 10 be
quite well thought of III the country, where he
has never been remarkably popular and by the
country press, 10y whom he has been cordially
dctcsted."
