The Grand Rapids Eagle says this concerning
the gubernatorial question:
eve mentioned the other day that by the
withdrawal Of Col. Stockbridge from the can
vass as Republican candidate for Governor,
the drift OK sentiment in the party seemed to
be manly toward Mr.. Crosswell, lesvi ~ him
practically clear field. There are, however,
two or thrss others who will probably be put
before tue Republican State Convention, and
prominent among them ex-State Treasurer
Victory +. Collier, OF Battle Creek, who has
many and warm friends. Mr.. Collier is one OF
the sslf-made men, Of the Stately which we
mean that he Is one who has worried his own
way and achieved honorable distraction by force
OF character and talent, and won confidence by
his fidsiity to and ability 10 the discharge OF
public trusts. Doubtless at the State Conven-
ton. winch meets here next week for another
purpose, there will be free interchange OF
views among the delegates from AL parts of the
State touching the nominations to be made for
State officers at the next convention, and the
feelings and preferences OF voters in the various
districts respecting candidates for each, APP
proximately ascertained. A consultation OF
taat kind, with 4 view OF promoting the utmost
harmony. in the approaching campaign, End
making the best choice possible of candidates,
will havs very beneficial effect. Tnis conven-
ton will be attended by upward Of four hun
dred representative Republicans, and COM
parisou OF votes aud views will be Of much
value.

some writer's who find ground IN the failure
OF the individual for discredIting the class see
in the conduct Of Miss Sweet, the Chicago
pension agent, only an xample Of what women
may do when placed in Office. To present this
case as an argument against allowing woman to
do such work and to fill such positions as she
10 fitted for, is ridiculous to such degree that
it is absolutely stupid. 1t may be true that In
a few rare instances women holding responsible
positions have proved inefficient or dishonest /;
still it is the unanimous verdict OF those who
have carefully and without prejudice studied
the matter that female office-holders, as class,
have proved more honest than representatives
Of the opposite sex in similar positions. And,
on the other hand, IL the argument were legiti-
mate, il would bear with equal force on the
men. Because one man. or scores Of men in
Office, prove dishonest or inefficient, does it
follow that no man is fitted to vote or hold

Should Belkuap, the dishonest ex-Secretary
of Var, escape the jurisdictlo Of the Senate,
there Is still a chance for him to receive the
punishment which he 30 richly deserves, for
the grand jury OF the District OF Columbia has
found bill Of indictment against him for ac-
ceptlng bribes. This is short step in the right
direction. The courts OF the district are not
noted for the speed with which they have usu-
ally brought wrong doors to justice but now
il they see that justice is melted out to Belknap
they can do much toward redeeming themselves
with the people OF the country. The New York
Times says "is this indictment comes to
naught it will add one more cause to those
which have already aroused the disgust Of the
public with the way Belknsp has been treated
from the beginning. Lansing Republican.

The Detroit Tribune says

The Kalamazoo Telegraph offers the follow
ing CORDIAL proposition to pull at the pipe OF
peace;
The Paw Paw True Northerner should tt 'e
heart as to the grasping designs aud ambitions
OF Kalamazoo village and county, from the
nominations OF the convention at Grand Rap
Ids "Wednesday. We get-and are content
therswlth-but an alternate to the Cincir natl
Convention and he is gentleman whom even
Bro. Conway would approve. Per ooatrd, Van
Buren, is honored with the nom ioation OF Mr..
Woodman as delegate at large, and Mr.. Heu-
nahs as u district delegate and both OF these
are also prominently named as candidates for
Congress. Still we are happy. Isn't 1t about
time to bury the Ratchet ?"
1t Is quite apparent that the pipe they offer
is only Clay one filed with common tobacco,
while it is equally apparent that they propose
to smoke prime Havannas." In other words,
they give US the Honorary and reserve the pay
ing places for themselves.
In burying the Ratchet they propose to keep
hold OF tho handle, allowing only the blade to
be temporarily hid from view. They are too
complimentary BIZ half.

There have been quarrels IN Detroit, and We
insisted that the Grand Rapids Convention
should require Way ne county to remove the
cuticle from its specimens OF the nophitis
Americana IN private. We are therefore en-
titled to protest against the proposition to drag
such jealousy of Kalamazoo as may exist in
Van Buren, county before the next state Con-
vention.
To the foregoing the TRUE NoBTHERSER says
it never had any political skunks to skin. The
Tribune and Wayne county politicians, without
doubt, can do that kind OF work. Was that
what it was about year ago in defeating
Chandler? The Trbrne knows very we'll that
we were not upon skunk skinning expedition
ihprotestiong that Kals nazoo should no longer
absorb all of the political rewards Of the Fourth
Congressional District. 1t is the influence OF
such as the Tribune that clothes Kalamazoo
with supreme setishness. Let It be we'll under
stood that the Republicans ar over the State
have an equs' claim to and shell equ'tably re-
ceiye political rewards, and-no one more than
the Tribune can bring this about-nether Kali
amazoo nor any other " center" will presume
to "go it" rough shod over their " rural" and
wooden" neighbors. An equitable distrbu-
ton OF Offices is the rule nowadays. The
thirty thousand inhabitants of Van Buren,
county, with its one thousand five hundred Re-
publican majority, have right to say 80 with
out being snubbed. Congress- Republican
Congress, not this confederate thing-said 80.
By it's resolution the Secretary Of the Treasury
has to apportion bis appointments pro rata
over the Union, and this is right. 1t is civil
service reform, long advocated by the Tri-
bune.

migration, could only be reconc''ed by the edu-

the Abolitionists, and claimed that the colored

which some stress is laid on the fact that Mr.

one OF the d:str;ct delegates, as az evidence Of
great condescension and magnanimity on the
part os Kalamazoo, I it'd does no. satisfy our

forced upon them,-wi.hout being asked for
against the wishes not only OF leading Repub-
licans, but IN toe face OF the protest of the

Many think the attempt 10 force this matter
upon us as an act OF generosity on the part Of
Kalamazoo that ought to satisfy Us of the in
tent OF fairness etc., rs merely throwing to US
the hull, while the kernel is to be appropriated
by that county, While we fully recognize pos
abilities, as to the candidate for Congress, we
are also fully aware that with the incoming OF
new administration. new deal is to be made !;
and the question now is, whether all the pay
ing places are to be appropriated by Kalamazoo,
and Tao remainder OF the district are to be
turned Off with such paying positions as dele
gates to the National Convention, and possibly
Presidential Electors? This will hardly do
and good many people will be glad to learn
that the managers IN that county will proclaim
publicly that Van Buren, County - to be charged
with but one delegate.
