DETROIT, June 6, 1876.
To the Editor Of the woRkNeNAN's ADVOCATE
left home on Monday the 29th Of May,
and after a very nice ride Of IS miles on
the Detroit and Bay City Railroad, arrived
at Nassar, very pretty Town on the
banks Of the Cass River. At the Depot
| was meet by j. j. Wilder, a tried
worker in The greenback cause. After
dinner taken at the Jewell House, and by
the way it was a good one, as the House
is well kept with a landlord, that is kind
indeed, | was meet by Mr.. North and
other friends; accompanied by DR.. Harris,
| was driven around the town, and from
the east side of the river had a very fine
view OF the river as it winds its way amidst
the dark cedar that lines its banks, only
here and there where the hardy pioneer
has supplanted the dark forest with the
fruitful field. On returning to the town
| was taSen in charge BY Mr.. North, and
To his house. Here | found delightful
ing the town, with delightful orchards
and wheatfelds stretching far away in the
distance, showing the rich reward that
has followed honest industry.
In the evening at We heard the sweet
sounds of the well managed cornet band,
a credit to the town, coming up from the
kiver Bank Attended by friends J. j.
Wilder and Mr. North, we went to the
hall, and there held a fine greenbsck
meeting.
On the 30rh we were driven to the
Town Of Tuscola, about eight miles dis
tant. The Band Wagon with four fine
horses, took the Brass Band, and after
playing several enlivening airs the meeting
was called to order by Col. Richardson.
This was fine meeting, and at its close
cheers went up for the greenback cause.
Arrived back to Vassar at midnight. On
Wednesday | went to Maysville, some Is
miles distant, had a fine meeting there,
and from there to Cora, the County Seat
of Tuscola County. There the meeting
was small, but very good; the reason Of
its being small, the cowsrdly politicians
were afraid to attend, fearing it would
hurt their old, rotten parties. We than
returned to Vassar by buggy, and in the
evening went to Millville on the Bay City
Road There We held a fine meeting,
the house being full at its close we hasten
ed to the depot, and quickly it was "all
aboard, and in 80 inmates we were again
in Vassar. On our arrival there we were
kindly invited to attend a social party,
which We did; in company with our
friends Messrs North and Wilder. Here
we found fine mnAic, splendid company
and happy smiling faces; youth, beauty
and handsome middle age, all mingling
together in the happy dance, listen
ing to the sounds of music. At midnight
we returned to the house Of friend North.
that by this time had become almost like
a home, made still more attractive by the
kind attention of Mrs. North, and their
accomplished daughter.
On Saturday we again left, and went
to Waltersville where we held fine meet
ing. At the close Of the meeting cheers
we're given for the greenback cause. We
then rode to Vassar about 10 miller, reach
ing the Depot in time to take the train
for Detroit, where | arrived A. M
This was a week Of hard work, but feel
sure that success will crown our labors in
Vassar. There there are good and true men,
and as long as such men as Messrs. North,
Wilder, Baum and others live, there il
hope Of our glorious cause in that section.
| only wish we had means to put msn in
the field Give us but one-fourth Of the
money, that either Of the old parties will
raise to deceive the people, and we can
beat both united.
We want the ADVOCATE, the S,n.
and the Age in place of those lying
papers, the Tunes and Tribune, and the
others Of their kind. It Is time that the
National Committee should put some men
IN the field, funds must be raised and
papers spread. Truth must stop the rob-
berry Of the people, or this cursed contrac-
ton will end in revolution.
