The " Michigan Independent" is the name Of
a new paper issued in this village this week as
Greenback organ. to help bolster up that vas
cIlating, senile concern, the Post Office Courier.
Drumming and drasooning for subscriptions
and advertising patronage is now in order, and
everybody is to be bored persistently. There is
time to issue three numbers before election,
out Of which 1t Is expected to raise the wind. y
After that there will be no further use for 1t,
and the subscription list will be turned over to
the Courier. 1t is dodge to save the list of
the Post Office organ from falling below fifty.
All right. Everybody ought to have news
paper, as there are thousands in the business
who can never be got out-as the Courier peo-
pie can tell you.

show his authority at the meeting of the
electors, and the Republicans refused 70
recognize him. Cronin then elected J. N. T.
Miller and John Parker Republican electors,
and proceeded to cast the vote, two for Hayes
and one for Tlden. The Republicans organ
ixed Watts resigned, was at once re- elected, and
