The Excursion to Traverse Ci,y.


When it became known that our fel
low-tOwnsman, George w. Bell, had con-
sentcd to become candidate for the
nomination for the State Senate. some of
his many friends in this place concluded
to SO TO Traverse City and if possible
forwar his interest in that direction. 10
that end they secured the wrecking tug
Crusader, and in company with the can-
didate left this place for Traverse City
about 6 o'clock Monday morning. The
weather was all that could have been de-
sired, and the party made q very pleasant
and successful trip. They stopped at
Mackinaw, Petoskcy, Charlevoix and
Northport to pick up delegates to the
convention. The boat arrived in Traverse
City about o'clock in the evening, and
the entire party went energetically at work
for their favorite candidate. Alth ough-
not successful this time they feel that had
they been in the field little
earlier they might have been more for
tunate, and as it is, they feel that the
next attempt will come out all right.
The entire party were treated in very
handsome manner by the Traverse City
people. The Crusader left that place
about 6 o'clock Tuesday evening and
run to Cbarlevoix, where the night was
spent. Starting out in the morning, the
party arrived home about 3 P. NJ, feeling
that they had been amply repaid for the
trip. The occasion throughout was a
most enjoyable one, and will be long
remembered.

The lesson of the sevf

The lesson of the several political contests
in Augusta county recently, seems to be-Frst,
That it is not SO outrageous crime to defy the
party caucus as it was supposed to be. Secosd,
That it is not so heinous an offense to vote the
way the negro votes, us it has been represent
ed. Third, That it is not an objectionable sin
TO be a Republican and exercise the rights of a
freeman. if it is done to promote the interests
of u Conservative. And last, but not least,
The people have been taught to follow their
own convictions OF right. the suggestions OF
their own reason, the instincts OF their own
manhood, in defiance OF the threats of pro-
scription and ostracism by the contemplate
and disgusting dealagegues who write and
speak for what is called the glorious Conserve
tire party!
| Let this contest and its teachings be borne in
mind in the fMtHre, and i'm the elections which
will hereafter come off, county, State, national
and municipal, let the people see to it that the
despotlsm OF caucus, and the tyranny OF
curb-stone tactics, are considered in their true
light, and valued for what they are worth.
The prescription and the denunciation OF such
ohCOoo do tiO HCutCUtOT anu OUCCtUtOT, ait
in such terms as were used in 1872 and
1873, and by the tom tit. politicians who
laden the air with their cross-road brawl-
ing about carpet bag, scaawag and negro
rule, will be properly appreciated hereafter.
We believe the people will dare to do right,
! regardless OF party machinery and party die
taton, and vindlcate their right to the high
privileges Of American citizenship, by voting
to sustain the laws and the government Cd
their country, in defiance of the resolves and
the threats of party leaders and incendiary dcm-
agogues. If this shall be the result, We will
congratulate ourselves in being Instrumental
| in pait, in arresting the~,lo,ninancy of demt.-
gogism, and stimulating the popular mind to
a full comprehension and appreciation OF tie
duties, rights and privileges of manhood
citizenship.

know that it is a gag ON Conservative jaws in
