throw out against such men as

Democrats, Lock We'll 10 Your
Interests.

The call has been made for the
Democratic County Convention,
which viii put in nomination cam
didates for the various county Off
ces. The nominees Of this conven-
ton have the right to expect and
demand the entire party support.
Then, in order this support may be
given to them, they must represent
and be the choice of q large major
Ny of the party. In other words,
they must be just the men that the
party wish to run. That all may
be satisfied, and the proper candi-
dates be selected, the delegates to
that convention must be chosen
with the greatest care. We want no
put-up jobs. We want no packed
convention. We want the honest
expression of the entire party
This can only be accomplished by
the party turning out ia mass, to
the primary meetings. Let every
Democrat and Liberal Republican
in Alpena county attend their re-
spective caucuses, next Tuesday
evening. Let all other business be
put aside at that time, and this at
tended to, for surely we can afford
to give one evening to our country
and party. If we will do this,
there need not be single nomina-
ton male but what all can heartily
support. In the selecting of dele
gates to this convention, the very
best men in the party should be APP
pointed-men that are thoroughly
acquainted in the county, and that
have the wisdom and honesty to
select the right kind of candidates.
If q judicious selection is made.
and each member of the party then
works as honest Democrats ought
TO, our entire county ticket can be
elected Victory is within our
reach If we will only labor for it.
Be up and doing. ~

Announcements of our Interests.

Questions are now being urgent
ly mooted and discussed as to
what will be the most advanta-
geous to Alpena and to the interests
of its inhabitants. OF these, rail-
road projects are perhaps taking
the lead, and various routes are
suggested. Some advocate the
building of as direct q line as prac-
ticable to the Jackson, Lansing and
Saginaw road, and thus, through
that, have direct communication
with the southern part of the State.
Others advise the continuation of
such road across the J. l.. 81 S., and
by some road through Grand Rap
ids make connections with Chicago.
While others advocate what seems
to be the most plausible scheme
the binding of a shore railroad.
While there are so many stirring,
active and growing towns situated
on the north shore of Saginaw Bay,
it is nothing more than reasonable
to think q road on this line would
necessarily p0y, and certainly
must benefit our interests here, be-
cause the interests of Alpena, and
all the shore towns, and the Sagi-
nav Valley are similar and intima-
tely connected. And as soon as a
railroad connects us with the Sag
inaw Valley, we can avail ourselves
of many of the privileges enjoyed
by them that we are now deprived
of during the winter season.
Then let our citizens take hold |
Of this matter and see to it that
efforts are made, and made in the
right directed to accomplish this
end, and at least have such q be-
ginning made this fall, that next
we may know that we are
'oming near railroad communica- ,
ion with the balance of cilivation.
Talk railroad, and act railroad.

Gen. John A. Dix, in his letter
accepting the Radical nomination
for Governor of New York, says
IF the convention deemed it of SO
much importance in the existing
condition of things in the State
and Union, as to make the nomina-
ton in opposition to my expressed
wishes, am sure the members must
have been actuated by public con-
siderations too strong to be disre-
garded by me-"
Gen. Dix was once Democrat
He left the party and joined the
Radicals, and is now their candi-

Puoiic Debt Reduction.

In the finance report of the Sec
rotary of the Treasury, for 1870,
the Register of the Treasury states
that the public debt on July /,
1869 was S2,4s9,0O2, 48O.5S; and
Secretary Boutwell, in his monthly
statement for July, 1872, states
that the debt on the first day of
that month was $2,20l,9 7,142.O5,
which, as the amount of the nation
al debt this year, taken from the
amount of the national debt in
lSG9,-just three years before
will give the exact amount of the
reduction of our national debt dur
ing three years of Grants admins
tration, and thus substantiating it
shows $194,045,33 as the total
amount of reduction for that time.
Is that reducing the "$100,000,OOO
a year or at the rate of $4,000 per
hour! There is a grand mistake
when people tell you the debt is
being reduced at the rate of one
hundred million per year.

The following extract which we
clip from the Uor1'ingmea's Adco-
cate, shows conclusively that Mr..
Bradley is not the workingmen's
friend, and will not be supp orted
by them at the next election:
"When the mill employees in July
last, organized a movement to OBJ
tain a reduction in the hours of
labor from twelve to ten hours, they
encountered the unyielding opposi-
ton OF certain leading mill men to
their reasonable demand. Among
them was Nathan b. Bradley, whose
language was most defiant and his
course rabid and uncompromising.
lie would shut down his mill for
the season he publicly stated.
This same N. b. Bradley the Re-
publican convention has placed in
nomination for Congress; Of course
the Workingmen could not SUD-
port such a man, and with view
OF securing n more satisfactory
candidate, held a convention at Bay
City on the 9th of August. But
at that convention it was thought
best to defer nomination and APP
point a committee on conference
with the Liberal Republican and
Democratic convention to be held at
Saginaw City the next day, and
endeavor to secure a full co-opcra-
ton OF all opposed TO Mr.. Bradley's
election. That conference was en-
tirely satisfactory, and resulted in
the selection of Chauncey w. Wis
ner as the candidate"

rival who is about to become their
victim. Thisis followed by "Hollo."

missing her lesson. +. II. Vance
