From Our Own Correspondent.
Hartford is still alive AID in rapidly grow
ing condition Business and business men
seem to be prosperlng.
1t is somewhat sickly just now two deaths
asst week.
Our school commenced to-day, with Mr.
Horace b. Clapp For principal, and his two
daughters and Miss Russell, OF Coloma, assist
ants.
The Bangor Base Ball club came over Thurs
day afternoon and had test game with the
Hartford boys, which resulted in tie.
We had little row upon the street the other
day, just for spice, suppose. 4. E. Reynolds
and ohm Sweet had inockdown. and the loud
talk annoyed peaceable people half mile away.
Politics aud politicians are quite lively. We
have both Democratic and Republican club ;
one strikes its powerful blows on Saturday and
the other Mondsv evenings. II the wear and
tear OF breath and brains,is equal to the amount
Of gas and CAB that is generated and blown upon
the people, fear the result may be disastrous
to some.
The Centennial festival at the M. z. church
was very pleasant entertainment and seemed
to be much enjoyed by all present. The several
tables we're handsomely decorated. and vendors
of fruits and flowers. candies aud nuts Gin their
different costumes) were very pretty and becom-
ing; aud Queen Victory looked quite royal in
her queenly robes. But the proceeds OF the
evening were too limited to make it success
financially, as very many OF the men sent theii
wives aud children and remained at home them
selves, thus keeping their pocket books secure.
A lady from abroad who was present remarked
that she could not account for the absence of
so many gentlemen unless they we're financially
embarrassed, adding that in their town such a
pleasant affair would have called out crowded
house and have paid literally. | didn't tell her
so. but said in my heart, "there Is nothing
but a circus or niger show that will do that IN
Hartford.
The Democrats are raging around consider
able and boasting that the Republicans are all
disheartened, because they are not 90 very
noisy, and that Tilden will carry this State
But guess when November comes and the
Republicans votes are piled in, they will be
convinced that it was their sublime faith IN
Hayes and the right that kept them 90 quiet. II
seems to me that but few-and they must be
men who think they ARE obliged to vote the
Democratic ticket because their fathers did
will vote for Tilden and his kind OF reform with
the present statistics concerning his perjury
and deception staring them in the face.

Campaign Jottings.

A Hayes and Wheeler club was organized at
Royal Oak last Saturday.
The truth hurts Tilden more than lies hurt
Hayes.-New Orleans Republican.
The colored men of Grand Rapids have or
ganlzed Hayes and Wheeler club.
After the election Hendricks will feel very
hard about it and Tilden will feel awful soft.
Prof. Seelye. elected to Congress from Mas
sachusetts as an Independent. is now an en-
thusisstic Republican and is working nightly
for Hayes and Wheeler.
Gen. Banks made his opening campaign
speech at Waltham, last week, squarely endors-
ing the Republican party and nominees, and
strongly denouncipg the Democratic party and
its policy.
The Republicans OF the eastern district OF
Ionis county have nominated for Representa-
tive n. Brad. Hayes. In the western distric,
the nomination Of A. Yeomans, OF Easton, was
made without dissenting vote.
At Lapeer the Republicans raised 130-foot
pole Saturday afternoon. A large crowd was
present and cheered vocferously. Hon. Sylves-
ter Larned addressed the people at White 5
opera hall IN the afternoon IN his usual vigor-
Gus manner. Politics are waxing warm in that
city. The streets are full OF political flags and
banners.
The Golden Rule says: There Is much
force in an AND. Many Independent voters
who would have supported Gov. Tilden cennot
make up their minds to vote for Tilden and
Hendricks. Under the electoral system it ia
impossible to separate them; and the sharp
contrast between Wheeler and Hendricks in
political characteristics. is telling iu favor OF
the Republican ticket
The Berrien county republicans have nomln'
ated their ticket. 1t is as follows State SEN
ator, VIM. Chamberlain, Of Three Oaks Judge
Of probate, A. b. Leeds, Of Benton clerk
Edwin d. Cook OF Benton Harbor; treasurer,

Harpsr's Weekly dips into Michigan politics
a little and says: - The Michigan republican
convention, recently held at Lansing. nomina
ted for superintendent of public instructor
Hon. II. S. Tarbell, city superintendent OF
schools OF East Saginaw. Michigan. 1t is worthy
OF note that the nomination Is made In answer
to a resolution of the State Association OF City
superintendent, strongly recommending Mr.
Tarbel for the:position. His election is reason
ably sure, and the superintendent secures the
hearty cooperation OF the leading electors o.
the state. With liberal views and years OF ex
perience IN educational matters, he, no doubt
will make an envlabe record for me schools Of
Michigan"
