NORTHERN TRIBUNE.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER %, 1876.
Political Notes.

The Chcboygan club made another eff
fort to reform Tiiden last night at the
club room.
1t is said that out OF party of home
steaders who recently moved into one
township in Emmet county only ope was
a Democrat
Since Pomeroy's Democrat went back
on Tilden the New York Sun has sup
piled the leading editorial articles for the
Free Press. i
Hon. Geo. w. Bell will address the
residents of Grant township at school
house No. 4, hear Long lake, next We'd
nesday afternoon.
The Free Prees says that it has vet to
learn of single Democrat who is intend
ing to vote the Republican ticket.
Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be
wise.r
AS the "slte" is all made up with per-
haps the exception of the important Of
nee OF coroners, the Democratic county
convention next Wednesday will doubt
less be Il very harmonious affair.
We understand that IA prominent Dem
ocrae OF the village has wagered small
portion OF his hard earned ducats that
Michigan will go Democratic. He can
flnd takers for the balance OF his small
fortune.
Lie Democratic county convention for
the purpose OF nominating county Off
GERS has been called to meet next Wed.
nesday. The slate is already marked
out by the managers, so the convention
is but form to give the semblance OF
authority.
The Little Traverse Republican con-
veys the startling information that ..sor.
rel top is the political editor of the Pc
toskey Democratic. The individual men
toned is well known in this county, and
VIII undoubtedly be Immediately recoy
nized, even under his new cognomen.
The Free Press in its report of the Dem
ocratic rally the other night, says that
Mr.. FentOn treated his subject in a ..Pick-
wicklan sense" '.Pickwiekian sense, is
good. We believe NJ. !Pickwick did have
very peculiar rs welli as forcibIe man
Her of handling his handk erchief.
4 small size Tilden and Hendricks pole
was raised and Il banner flung to the
breeze last Sunday on vacant lot below
the Spencer House. We venture TO saw
that this was the first Sunday pole rails
Ing Ill the state, but our Democratic
friends will sacrafice anything for re-
form.
Bob Robinson lost pocket book con-
tanning 500 OF the rag baby currency yes
terday. "A Democrat found it and cave
it TO him.-Frec Press.
A Democrat found it; well, the coun-
try would be vastly better off if there
were few more Democrats like Geo. w.
Bell. Still, that lis about as near the
truth as the Iilden organs usually come.
The Free Press announces that Mr..
Potter, the Democratic candidate for Con-
gress from this district, will speak here
some time during the coming month.
Mr.. Potter has the same storys to tell
about every evil with which the country
is afflicted, from hard times to the potato
bug, being caused by the Republican
party.
What shall we think of the sincerity of
convention which, having renominated
every present incumbent but two. votes
unanimously that ''a rigid application of
the one-term principle is not only desir-
able, but eminently just. and no mans
claims to second election will hereafter
be recognized? That is what the Wayne
county Democratic convention did. under
the craftsmanship of Col. John Atkinson.
The sincerity of Col. Johns speech here
few weeks since, can of course be meas
ured in the same scales.
The Free Press claims that the charges
of perjury against Tilden are false and
that the Republicans knew it when they
were made. Tilden has not denied the
charge yet, but then probably the editor
of the Free Press knows more about it
than Mr.. Tilden. Mr.. Demas Barnes. a
prominent Democrat and formerly a
member of Congress, of New York, and
the editor Of the Brooklyn Al gus, the
leading Democratic paper of that city,
considers the charge proved beyond a
doubt, and comes out in letter i'm his
paper so stating, and refuses to support
him, Still, perhaps the editor of the
Free Press is the best authority. The
cry of you're another is the most sneak
ing way on record of evading charge.
There is not a prominent Democratic
journal in the country which gives any
credence to the charges against Hayes.
Not Going Just Yet.
Dr.Curtis informs us that he has decided
