VIM. Macarthur, Democratic candidate
for Representative in the State Legisla-
ture, was elected over w. S. Humphrey,
Republican nominee, by large ma
jority. Schoolcralt county has not been
heard from, but it will probably increase
rather than diminish the majority. After
visiting several counties in the district
since the nomination, we have had no
other idea than Mr., McArthur's election.
In this case. the nominees of both parties
were good men, and the question of poll
tics was the only issue that could be
made between them. Into whichever
hands the Office went our interests, as
well as those of the entire district, were
sure to be well represented. We oppos-
ed Mr.. Macarthur upon political grounds
only, and now that he is the choice of
the people, the TRIBUNE will join its in
fluence with his, and work tremendously
with him in endeavoring to secure to
this district, and particularly to this
county, that legislation which is necessa-
ny to secure its future growth and con-
tinued prosperity. Mr. Macarthur is a
man who will make his influence felt in
the Legislature. We believe that no dis
trict will be more ably represented than
this. We are glad to be able to speak in
such high terms of man who has de-
feated our candidate. 1t both political
parties would always, as they
did in this case, put up their
best men for official positions, there
would be very little dissatisfaction ex-
pressed whatever way the election might
go. If in every case as in this. on both
sides. the parties would seek the man
with the office, instead of giving an of
flee to man simply because be wanted
it, and was good political wire puller,
there would not be so much running be-
hind tickets and dissatisfaction even if
elected by few votes. This should be
taken as an example by both parties.
Nominate only the best men for Office.
Do not let the fact that a man wants an
office be the main reason for given it to
him. If this rule was followed out,
there would never be complaints made
regarding the manner i'm which official
business was conducted. and the people
would be satisfied whatever way the
electors might decide as to candidates.

The contest in this county is over. The
Republicans are defeated. but this they
expected. In their defeat, however, they
see much to encourage them in future
contests. The Wanted majority of three
hundred which was so boastingly and
persistently claimed by the Democratic
authorities is cut down to less than 175.
The thirty-one members of the
Republican county convention, which
comprised "all the Republicans in the
county" proved to be nearly if not quite
$40. The township of Grant, which the
same authority claimed to contain but
four Republican voters, turned out &c.
The number of Republican votes in every
township was a surprise alike to Repub-
licans andiDemocrats. especially the lat
ter. The last vote in this county which
a comparison can be made was theispring
of 1875, for Judges of the Supreme Court
and Regents of the University, when.
owing to the excitement i'm the election
OF Circuit Judge, full vote was polled.
The Republican vote at that time was
147 against 267 this year. A gain of
12O, or nearly double. At the same time
the Democratic vote was 367 against AL
this year, a gain of only "a. This shows
an extremely healthy increase of Republi-
can votes. The same ratio of increase
would almost, if not quite, give the Re
publicans the control of the county four
years hence. We have no idea but at
that time the Republicans will carry
Cheboygan county by handsome, ma
jority, and with the proper kind of
work it Lcould doubtless be done two
years hence. Therefore, although de-
feated there is nothing but encourage
ment comes with the defeat. The only
cause for regret is that such good men as
were the Republican nominees should
have been defeated by the class of men
that the Democrats put forward for the
positions. The people of the county will
be the sufferers, not the Republican
party, so as party we should not CON-
plain. The fact that the Democratic
party will nominate and elect unfi men
for positions of trust, shows how shallow
and unsincere are the pretenses for re-
form.
Then again, all political considerations
aside, Tuesdays result shows we'll for
the growth and prosperity Of the county.
In the spring of 1875 there were only $50
votes cast in the county, and that at a
very excitable contest, which had ten
dency to, and doubtless did, bring out a
full vote. Yesterday there were 70S
votes cast, a gain of 175, which would
show an increase in the population of the
county OF about 1000. There is known
to have been large number of men in the
woods and hOmesteaders who did not get
out to vote on account of the condition
of the roads and the weather. The pop
ulation of the county to-day, taking the
vote of Tuesday as criterion. cannot
be less than 5000 This is indeed very
satisfactory growth.
Again we say TO the Republicans of
this county, that in the election of last
Tuesday there is nothing but encourage
ment.

THE PAST AND THE FUTURE.

During the past few weeks the all
absorbing topic has been the political
issues that were before the people. to be
decided at the coming Presidential cleo
ton. All other matters were considered
by members of both political parties as
of secondary Importance to this, and
were therefore thrust aside and neglect
ed until the great contest was over. As
newspapers are the great opponents of,
and to great extent form, pub
lie opinion, the TRIBUNE went
into the campaign with the same
energy with which it has advocated
all other matters of public interest. since
1t was first established. Well knowing
that the side which it espoused was in a
large minority in this section of the state,
but believing that it was the side of the
right. the TRIBUNE has labored earnest
ly and fearlessly for that cause, and be-
lieves that the results show that its Ia
bors were not in vain. The contest is

state or national result is not known.
Which ever way the ballots of the people
have determined it, we shall be satisfied
we have made the best fight we could,
and it is the duty of all good citizens to
accept the verdict graciously. One side
or the other must be disappointed. In
the conduct of the campaign in this
county, as far as the TRIBUNE is con-
cerned, there has been no personal ami

made against the manner of conducting

against the individuals. AS before re

THE northern and southern branches
of the Methodist Episcopal church are
coming to union, and through proper
committees will try to settle amicably
all differences as to property, etc. The
division i'm this church took place 30
years ago, when the dOmineering slave
holders in it tried to force bishop who
owned slaves upon the body, and were
voted down. They seeded, organized
on their own side of the line, filled the
southern heart full of hatred of the
north, and have run their machine until
now. After considerable apparent toady-
ing by men from northern churches,
they kindly consented to reunite. 1t
would be far better for the peace OF the
country to have every sectional bond
broken, and men act together in churches
or political parties as American citizens
not as northerners or sOutherners; but
the gushing sentimentality which con
sents to the degradation of the only race
which was faithful to the union in the
south during the war cannot be justified
by any amount of can't or priestly bless
ing. Mississippi, where $4,000 Republi
can majority is changed in a single cleo
ton to 10000 Democratic majority, ha
within its borders more than twice thu
number of Methodist churches and
| little less than twice the the number o
sittings for worshippers that Michigan
has. But the evidences of southern re
ligion seem to consist in shot-guns am
starving out of political opponents. n
church union can be advantageous to hu
mainly which recognizes the controlling
elements of Mississippi as genuine Chris
tan.

LAST week Tuesday the sum of $4,000
was deposited in the State Treasury by
Warden Humphrey, as surplus earnings
of the state prison. This is the first de-
post of the kind ever made. The state
prison has long been self-sustaining, but
never before have the profits gone direct
ly into the State Treasury. This crafty
ing result, in contrast with the $550,O00
year which Tilden's prisons cost the peo-
pie of New York above their earnings
will be sufficient answer to the dirty
ISLANDERS with which the Confederate
press has pursued Gov. Bagley and the
