We hardly deem the above nam
ed candidate for the peoples votes
worthy of very extended notice,
still, as our Radical friends have
concluded to run him for Represen-
tative, we suppose he must be
spoken of. We had hoped that,
covered with sins and his name so
loaded down with charges of fraud
and dishonesty, that no party would
ever again take him up for any
public position, and that himself
and his vices would sink into obliv-
ion; but as none Of the more re-
spectacle men Of tho party wanted
the Office, he succeeded in getting
nominated.
Mr.. Lockwood is either badly
belied or else is the very worst of
our Alpena men who at all aspire
to public Office. a He seems to have
retired from every one of the many
Offices he has had with an add,
tional stain upon his name, and il
the prevailing opinion of the COM
munity here is correct, with por-
ton of the peoples money in his
pockets. And it is known to

A Beautiful Picture Given
AWAY.

"Cute." This is the name Of tho
picture, its size is l6 by 20 inches
il is printed in oil colors from six
teen stones, and as specimen Of
art, is equal to any chrome even
published in America. Its price
and market value is ten dollars, and
and the enterprising publishers,
Messrs. Waters & Co., Chicago,
give it away, to every yearly sub
scriber to their popular family
weekly, or FTreSiRe Friend. The
chrome is an exact reproduction
and perfect .fac sip'ile Of an oil
painting by one Of England's
greatest artists, Sir Joshua Reyn-
olds. The subject is life-lille, ex-
quisite and pleasing. 1t is a pic
ture of little girl, with waving,
sunny hair, a rosy, happy. face,
cherry lips and soft, earnest blue
eyes, stated upon the grass under
the shade of spreading trees; the
little fouryear-old fairy has her
round, plump little arms clasped
about the neck Of her faithful at
tendant, playmate and fliend-her
little dog, while he nestles con-
fidingly in her embrace. in the
entire range of subjects of this
character, and work of art delinca-
ting happy childhood, we have seen
nothing which approaches this in
in beauty of design or execution.
We feel free to say, that it has
only to be pronounced superior to
anything of the kind which has
yet appeared; and yet it is given
away to every subscriber to a val
uablc family weekly, full Of re-
liable, instructive and interesting
reading matter, news and miscel-
lany-just suited to the wants and
wishes Of every family-every man,

actions of the other men referred
to; he is principally, and as far as
we wish to charge, to blame for the
utterly unintelligiblc manner in
which he has kept the books, and
we feel, and think that we
have good reasons to feel, that
if he is entrusted with the duties Of
Treasurer again, there will be no
Improvement in his management,
and rs there is now something evil
IDENTIFY wrong in his department, it
is the interest Of the tax payers of
the county to have the matter
thoroughly investigated, so that the
truth my be known; and in our
opinion the way to do this is to
transfer the Treasuror's office into
another mans hands who will work
out the difficult problem of our fl
nancial affairs, and if there is any
thing wrong, have no interest in
covering it up. And we ask all
men, of no matter which party,
who desire to see these matters, of
which so many now complain,
placed before Us at least in their
real light, to vote for Mr.. Hopper's
opponent, Mr.. Towle, who is in ev-
cry respect the equal of Mr.. Hop
per in honesty and integrity, is
man of good habits and first class
business education and qualiaica-
tions, and who will give to the
business Of the office the time it
ought to have, place our mixed up
affairs in a proper shape and keep
them right afterwards. Let us
make a start towards getting at the
evil that is bringing useless expense
and trouble upon our county. Let
the old hands who have so shamful-
ly blundered, or are so generally be-
lied, step out, and other men take
hold who will either vindicate their
honesty or show to the people, in
what they sinned. As a good start
in the good work vote against |
Hopper, for Oscar Towle.
