"m 1853, when the last Democratic
Legislature met in this state, II law was
passed, requiring five per cent. interest
to bc paid OH state deposits in banks.
But this was unsatisfactory to the De-
troit Democratic ring of bankers, and
SO they repealed the act within three
days and passed anotl'r, cutting down
the interest to one per cent. The two
acts arc Nos. ,lG and G3, approved Feb.
and Il, 1888. This piece cfchicancry
was approved 10y Gov. Robert McClcl-
land, who turned up u 'rcformcr' and
spcGch-malicr in the last Democratic
State Convention. Would he like to
reform the law again SO that his Dem
ocratic friends could have the state de-
posts for one per cent:
"During the two years in which Col.
McCrccry las made reports rs State
Treasurer, the interest on state deposits
and unpaid specific taxes has amount
cd to $l32,3Ol, being within Sj0,55S of
the total amount paid for interest on
the state debt in these two years. Not
cent has been lost by any bank or
banker holding state deposits since the
Republicans came into power almost
2 years ago.
During the entire period of IS years
of Democratic rule previous to 1855, tho
total amount received as interest on
state deposits was 81, 554, or only one

THE Detroit Free Press recently
made some damaging insinuations
in regard to the State Treasury and
Treasurer McCrccry, in effect that
he could not and would not tell the
people where several hundred thou
sand dollars of their money was,
nor what security the State has for
it. This gave McCrccry the de-
sired chance of letting the people
know all about the matter, and he
caused to be published a list of de-
post banks; the list Of bondsmcn,
&C.; in short, making a full and com
plctc explanation. The statement
is too lengthy for our space, or VIC
would gladly give it entire.
McCrcery calls upon several
prominent Democrats to stand up
and tell if they can why it is unsafe
for the people Of Michigan to trust
him with State funds. He also, calls
upon several Democratic bondsmcn
for State funds, to stand up and "dc-

The situation and The Danger Mrolrcd
Thcrcia-7ne DEATH Of Francis T.
Biair, &'.-LiUcly on the Potom0c-
The Rebel Kcy-notc.
a retrospect of the last sixteen
years, and calm survey of the pres
cnt situation of the country will
convince any inquirer after truth,
that the rebels in the South are
working to attain, through the bal
lot, what they failed to accomplish
by civil war. 10 be successful in
their designs, they have resorted to
means by the use of which they hope
to secure the control Of the national
government in all its Departments.
The first grand object is to secure
the Presidency. With minion in
the Executive chair, all other por-
tons of the government machinery
can be captured in due time.
The South could not have selected
candidate who, if elected, would
be moro subservicnt than Samuel j.
Tilden. With no traits of charac-
ter which distinguish him as man
of noble, independent instincts, his
life has shown him to be a partizan
of the lowest order. The congenial
spirits who surround him, the loca.
ton of the headquarters whence all
orders emanatc and where all
schexcs are concocted are in char
acter with the candidate, and the
cause he represents. Such men as
Morrisscy, Kelly, and O'Brien could
not be engaged in patriotic work.
They, and those acting under their
command, have given a reputation
to the city of New York, as being
the scat of all that is mean and un-
fair in politics, and damnablc in
morals.
The supporters of Tildcn have a
large stake depending upon his cleo
ton. For the purpose of making
his candidacy success, they have
invested an immense amount Of
money, for the purpose of corrupt
ing the people, and defrauding hon
est voters of their rights. The rob-
els of the South look to be indcm-
nifcd for all their losses during the
war, to be paid out of the public
Treasury. They know full well that
with Tildcn, as their President.
elected by "solid South" aided
by Northern allies, every facility
will be afforded them then to de-
plcte the Treasury, and build up
colossal national debt, to reimburse
them for damages sustained in a
war which they themselves prccipi-
tatcd. This is the stake for which
the rebel and the rebel sympathiz-
or are now playing. No effort, fair
or foul, will be left untricd to ac-
complish their purpose. Is it not
full time for the people of North to
realize the situation, and tho immi-

The Lake County star. [volume] (Chase, Mich.) 1873-current, 1876-11-02

A THING that Republican voter $
should know and remember next
Tuesday, is that Holloway, the
nominee, on the Democratic ticket
for Auditor General, is also, nomi-
nee on the ''Greenback' ticket for
same office. In politics he is DEM
ocratic. In voting the 'Grccnback'
ticket you would vote for a Demo-
crat. A secret effort is being made
by Democrats, through the Grange
organization, to induce Rcpubli-
cans of that Order to vote for Mr..
Holloway, simply on the ground
that he is n member of that organ
ization. DO not lose sight of the
fact that Hon. Ralph Ely, the
present in cumbent, has discharged
the duties of his Office faithfully
and well; that he was unanimously
rcnominatcd; and that he is far
mer and consequently one whom
every Granger should willingly
support.

yet it was much admired.

yct IL WIS NiuCn uululfcu.
Another small bed had u tree for
n center, then artemisia acanthfolia.
This is too ragged. Then came II
ring Of centaurea candidissima.
Another circular bed, II feet
across, had a center of 20 small
plants, of Colocasia csculenta (cala-
dunn. This burned in hot weather
and did not do very well. Next
came Il ring of coleus called sambo
or rubra. 1t is a good sort, and did
we'll. Then came a ring of ciner-
ari acanthifolia. This was rather
too small to match with the rest.
Next came achyranthes verschaff-
eltii, and the next was varicgatod
sweet alyssum;thcn golden feverfew;
next alternanthcra versicolor. In
the center, instead of colocasia,
place coleus verschafeltii, and the
bed would be made up of good
selection.
Our fat beds did better than those
much elevated. The soil is rather
light and some days of our summer
very hot.
We find it a great advantage to
mulch with manure about two inches
thick. The plants do much better
than with frequent hoeing without
mulch.
PIONEERING ANIMALS.
For towering ANNALS, nothing
gives us greater satisfaction than
good strains of petunia. The best
way is to save seeds, and keep saw
ing every year after getting started
with good colors. They thrive in
our hot weather, and give plenty of
flowers constantly after they begin
until frost comes. Of great value
also arc the several sorts of phlox
Drummondii. No garden can af-
ford to be without them. Pansies
do well for fall and spring in cool
weather. DO not allow them to
flower in hot weather, when the
flowers will be small and worthless,
but pinch out the head and then
the plants become strong for fall
use. Pansies thrive in cool. damp
weather. In our short summers,
zinncas are very satisfactory if good
sorts are used; snap-dragon also,
and larkspurs. Balsams do poorly
OH light soil in our summers. AS
tcrs of many sorts do well, but are
an uncertain flower OH account OF
blister beetles which sometimes APP
pear very suddenly in immense num-
bcrs, destroying bed in few
hours, often before the insects are
noticed. Marigolds arc snowy and
easy to manage. Place them to-
wards the back ola garden. Mig
noncttc is good for boquets and cas-
lily raised.
WALL FLOWERS
are not very satisfactory with us.
This season our stocks have done
remarkably well. Sow once for an
carly crop and then later sowing
for II succession.
a FRAUD.
BY oversight we received, in a
lot Of imported seed, some Lcucan-
thcmum vulgare. This is spoken
of us rare and new, and excellent
for cutting. 1t is nothing but on
eye daisy, II most pcrnicious and
troublesome weed. 1t is q rare
plant Oh the college grounds, and
on most farms of Michigan, and We
hope it always may be.

On account Of our frosty location
and the short summers here, no at
tempt is made to use some of the
bedding plants which are considered
of most value farther south, or in
places with longer summers. Among
these are scarlet sagcs, dahlias, vinca
alba, and vinca rcsca.
MOST PROMINENT PLANTS.
Vcrbcnas with MS arc very salts
factory for bedding. They are
easily managed, and flower profusc-
ly for long season. We bend them
down and keep them next to the
ground by small stakes. In this
way the stems throw out roots.
Those raisedfrom homegrown seeds
do best, as they are more thrifty and
free from mil,cw, The difficulty
in raising them from seeds is this:

ties are velvet mantle, sambo (black),
cGrllca (blue), bride (best white
and sweet scented), dcpanc, a good

demand. The Mrs. Woodruff is
crimson. For bedding and ribbon
beds VIC arc especially well pleased
with varicgatcd sage (salria ebicin-

clipping occasionally. A nice bed
can be made with dark verbenas

buds of the fcvcrfew picked off to
prevent it running to flower.
Another bed had coral tree for
