FROM DETROIT.

= DETROIT, MICH, Nov. IA. 1873.
EDITOR JoUnNA1.-Detrtit,w while pro-
gressive. city, has been duly conservative,
and in these uncertain. financial times she
does not suffer as do those more reckless
business communities which attempt unnat-
ural expansions in business. Of course
there will be more or less suffering among
the poor during the coming winter, but
there is such an abundance of resources IN
the State that the suffering can be readi-
~ alleviated
POLITICS. -. ;.
Michigan. has general elections but once
in two years, but the death Of Hon. Wilder
D. Foster. M. c. from the Fifth District,
led to a. special election on Nov, 18th, and
although Fosters majority last fall was
over 5000, Judge Williams received less
than 100 majority at the late election over
Comstock, Democrat. It is the greatest
political sensation Michigan has expert.
enced for years. 1t was by far the strong
est Republican District in the State. The
cause of the great change is variously CIV
en-, but 1t was probably due partly to an
accession to the Democratic ranks, and
mainly to Republican apathy, Republican
farmers cannot husk corn and at the same
time elect Republican candidates. In De-
troit, at the Charter election, Nov. 14th,
the whole Republican ticket was successful,
except Justice of the Peace and Police
Justice.
