may be answered by ascertaining

We understand that there are
few boiling candidates in the field
in the county this fall. When men
offer themselves as candidates before
a County Convention and find that,
in an honest and unprejudiccd con-
vention, they have a minority of
votes in favor of their nomination,
and thus some other person is Sc
lected, it seems reasonable that they
shall abide by the voice of that con-
vention, III they would have ac-
cepted the nomination If they could
have got it, ought they not TO sup.
port the person who did receive it.
unless fraud had been shown! But
it seems there are men who think
they alone are the competent per-
sons to perform the duties of the
Office to which they have aspired
and so refuse to support the regu
lar nominee, and propose to rur
themselves on their own merit

some one claiming to be a working

but who, in fact, is a renegade who
is in the employ of the party trying

now trying to destroy it. There is
but little fear that any working
man will be beguiled by anything

bound TO support, nor be led into
voting for a man that employees

As to how this county stands pO-
litically, 10 one can certainly state,
yet approximates have been made
from which estimates have been
drawn, showing the county to have
a small Democratic majority. IN
the coming election there are inter
csts to be obtained by voting the
Democratic tickets for the Nation,
the State and the County. The
same sort of rule that the national
government is robbing a part of
our country with, prevades to an
alarming extent, this State and this
county.
Our county affairs have been
managed perhaps with a different
purpose, than have our national af-
fairs, yet with the same result. Om

fairs unattended to and in a state

Supervisors, it is found necessary
in order to make the income anC

TO make the accounts balance
Then we say the interests involves

tended TO.
The next speaker, V. c. Burn
ham, showed himself the worthy
son of an eloquent father, and in
language elegant and truthful,
showed the great difference, from a
patriotic point of view, between the
two parties; the reason why every
good man should vote the same
ticket that S..muer, TIumbull, and
Banks, and the great leaders of the
Democratic party do, and he very
clearly and truthfully defined the
situation when he said that the new
party is made up of the best men
of both old parties, and the Iiadi-
cal of the men who always disgrace
ed both.
VIM. +. Atkinson was then called
on, and spoke for few minutes,
calling particular attention to the
late fraudulent payment by the
Board of Supervisors of 500 TO
attorneys to defend a suit that the
people had no right to defend, and
the neglect of the City Recorder,
Mr.. Hopper, to give proper regis
tration notices.
The speaker Of the evening, Mr..
Tiff, was then introduced by the
President, and made, as all who
heard him will admit, the ablest
and most convincing speech deliv-
cred here during the campaign.
He uttered no word that any man
can truthfully dispute, and the easy,
graceful manner in which he speaks
makes everyone feel comfortable and
willing to receive from him instruc-
tons which they will remember and
act upon. A few such speeches
would not fail TO DO the party of re-
form and honesty immense benefit
in our community, and we are sure
that every man in the audience
went home with a kinder feeling in
his heart for the Liberal Republic
can and Democratic parties, and a
warmer friendship for the able
speaker.
After Mr.. TeGt closed, Mr.. Oar
rell was called on and spoke for
about five minutes cloquently and
forcibly. How the people do like
to see and hear the man who is to
lay Mr.. Lockwood away in his po-
litical grave, and every man seems
to have taken our young candidate
for Representative to his heart,
brogue and all.
The meeting closed about 0 ID
o'clock and every Democrat and
Liberal Republican went home feel
ing encouraged and determined to
win on Tuesday.

Last Wednesday evening the
Radicals had little meeting tC
hear rehash of dead issues by Mr.
Ely, of Midland, and the Rev. Mr.
Wilson of Bay City, and they got
what they wanted, The Reverend
gentleman claimed to be working
men, and advised worllingmen MOI
to stick to their Union nor its can
didates, and 1abored hard to con-
vince the audience that Mr.. Brady
was the workingmen's friend,
and that Mr.. Wisner was not; but
he failed as all must, whose hablta-
tions are built upon the sand.
To have a man abandon a party
to which lac belongs, and work
against its interests in candid and
honest manner, may sometimes
have the effect to convert some one
of that old party to his belief, but all
is not gold that glitters, and all are
not unbiased and honest men that
claim to be, and that fact is strong
" so in this instance. And when
the light of truth falls upon it, the
garb of candor worn by Mr.. VIII
son changes to a cloak of falschood.
While he claims to work candidly
against Mr.. Wisner and in favor of
Mr.. Brady, from a desire to bene-
fit the workingmen, he does not in
fact, because be is but performing
his duty to his employer. He is in
the employ of \. b. Brady and is
receiving a salary from, and has his
expenses paid by the same Mr..
Brady. This, perhaps, accounts
for his desertion from the Union,
and the vim that he puts into his
efforts to advance Mr.. Bradly's IN
terests. But it does not account
for the profession of candor that
he tries to shield with the title of
Reverend Men, TO demand re-
spect, must be true TO themselves
and to their fellow-mcn, but being
false to both, Mr.. Wilson deserves
10 respect.

Our county ticket has thus far
remained free from any valid accu-
sations. The only objection to bias
voters against it is that the can
didates are young men and new
corners neither of which has really
any strength. While they urge
that they are young they do not
utter one word against the candi-
dates as far as competency to
perform the duties Of the several
Offices are concerned, nor while
calling them "ncw corners do they
tell why that should disqualify them
from holding Office, and these oh
jections are more strikingly weak
in a county and city like our own,
from which the advertisement has
been spread abroad for young men
to come to Alpena, establish them
selves here, grow up with the town
and aid in its advancement. And
then when young man or a new
conner is offered as a candidate,
TO be heraldcd by the name of "car-
pet Dagger" not only indicates the
falsity and hypocracy of those ut
tering the cry, but the utter de-
pravity of those using the argu-
mcnt for political effect only. If
then, our county ticket is such that
those who try, have failed to find
any valid faults with it, we can safe
ly vote for it, knowing that we
have capable men, even though we
are not personally acquainted with
the candidates.

Mr.. EDITOR Il trust you will
allow me to say n few words in re-
gard to Lockwood, whom some Of
the Radical party are endeavoring
to make us believe is the working
mems .triead,-that Lockwood and
the Radical party will stand by us
for ever, (Jm Hey .Joryet to sag ,rith
their ho5ldS ia Hejr pockets and our
every want shall be supplied (by

do, that Lockwood is opposed to
the worl1ingmen in every sense,
and will do all in his power to OPP
press them. In the first place they
pass resolution as a blind to the
laboring man, and then offer the
greatest insult to the people of this
district ever heapcd upon mankind
by straddling the whole concern with
the most despisablc man in this
country.
This one act, if nothing more,
shows their frienship for the work
ingmen, and will be carried in their
memory till the Radical party is
extinct, which will be at no dis
tant day.

Necessary 10 Vote.

There are to be three amend
ments TO the Constitution voted up
on this fall. The first is an amend
ment providing for the payment Of
bonds issued and negotiated, and
the purchase price realized prior TO
the 9th day of Nay 1870, by the
counties, townships and municipal
tiles issuing the same, for and in
aid of any Railroad Company. This
amendment is one that does not di-
rectly boz adversely affect the in
terests of this county, while the
others are of vast importance to
all the people in the newer and
more rapidly growing portions Of
the State. The second is an amend
ment relative to the increase Of the
salary allowed to the Circuit Judg-
es, from 81, 800, to $4,000 per year.
In the southern portion Of the
State the judicial Circuits are small
and the business comparatively
light when compared with the large
and important cases that are being
continually brought into the courts
in the more active counties of the
northern part of the State, and in
order to secure the talent required
by the business of the counties, we
must see that this amendment re-
ceives hearty vote in its favor, in
order 10 counteract the heavy vote
that will be polled against it III
those counties where the business
does not require the whole time OF
the Circuit Judge.
The third amendment is one rcla-
tive TO the limitation Of the number
OF Judicial Circuits. At present
there are eighteen Judicial Circuits,
and this amendment proposes to re-
ducc the number to fifteen, and al
80 requires that the number shall
remain so until the year 1881
Now the same people who oppose the
increase of salaries favor the re-
duction of the number, or in Other
words attempt to force upon the
people a small-paid, incompetent
Judiciary, and requires it to per
form even greater duties than it is
now able to perform, and by i
make no allowance for the in.
crease in population between nov
and the year 1881.
Let every voter then see TO i
that he does vote on these amend
ments, and that he votes in favor o
giving such a salary that compe
tent Judges may be obtained {,
perform the important duties re
quired justly, and against the re
straining Of the Legislature from
pro viding enough Judicial Circuit
TO satisfy the wants of the people
Of our growing State.
