The Adrian Times makes this comment upon
one marked feature Of the Republican political
situation:
"The manifest satisfaction with which the
Republican press and leading men receive the
announcement that State Republican conven-
ton has sent up an unpledged delegation to
indeed all outside the few who look upon it as
duty to say what other Republicans want
done, without consulting those other Republic
cans, is in favor first Of selecting as deleg ates
men in whose judgment reliance can be placed
and then of sending those delegates to Cincn-
natl to honestly represent the wish OF those
sending them there"

We do not seek, nor do we wish to keep alive
the I" odd quarrel" We prefer harmony to dis
sension and are willing to make some sacrifices
for the purpose of bringing about an amicable
feeling between these two counties. Yet, while
we concede this much, we viii state that the
quarrel is more general than some gentlemen
are willing to admit. The whole feeling of dis
satisfaction, not only in this county but in other
counties Of the District Is the direct result Of a
"local quarrel in Kalamazoo" itself, and which
was carried on with 80 much acrimony as to
" slop over" and spread itself all over this Con-
gressional District.
This was notably the case two years ago,
when the different factions" and cliques'
undertook to dragon the Congressman and
thereby worked themselves into a mad rage
and turning upon their own man defeated the
ittest man in the District by thousand votes,
wherein every other county gave him a majori.
ty Notwithstanding the unhappy condition they
themselves had created.
All that this county wants is fair play; and
we believe this to be the feeling in the other
counties. And to this it must finally come, for
mankind are 30 constituted that the love Of JUS
tice, although stiled FOR time, will assert it.

will keep it clean and vigorous. It's
