In the party while Cass lived that many of them
was INSTRUMENTAL in getting Cess out OF Bnchanans
Cabinet In time so save his fame. Neither he nor

cratic party OF Michigan rom taking the copper

party organization had well nigh perlshed. We
drew together again in Detroit about two years
ago, and made up my mind that our way to day
light was with the liberal republicans II they
could accomplish anything at Cincinnati: This was
not only a conviction OF political expedIency with
me, but a DESIRE bred OF affection, TO see the de-

doing all the harm they could. The Free Press de-
n0unced me as o Greeley agent. The people
through the State knew me, and in almost every
Greeley, I'm sure can. We got a little daily paper
called the Detroit Nesrs to come ont for Greeley
with the wOrkingmen, and wrote the first leader
declaring the way. After the Baltimore Conven-
tion, we got ready to buy out the Tribune start
a new paper, but the chief Bourbon on the Free
Press came down and sold out 10 Mr. Boyington

the only republican now Governor In America who
CAME OUT OF OFFICE POOR
and he administered that Office during the war so
equltably in giving commissions to officers that he
took the best of our young democrats over To his
party. Both wings OF the coalition are advancing
by converging paths to the same point. We seek
to bring the democracy up to the results OF the age
and the liberals seek TO stop the aggressons of led
eral and corporate monopoly over local independ-
ence. The objective point OF both is Chamberlain,
which is party despotism TO degree never achieved
nor attempted by the democracy when Michigan
was reliable democratic State"

The candidate for Lieutenant Governor, Banch-
ard, is business man OF the town OF lOnia, the
| line of the Detroit and Milwaukee Railway. The
rest Of the ticket is made up OF good and RESPONSE
bic people, and all united for vigorous prose-
cutiOn Of the campaign. The more moderate be-
rails, like Governor Baldwin, compute that Grant
win carry the State by 10000 to $4,000; the demo-
! Gratis say that he will do well to carry 1t by 5000.
