fee OF 900. that bad been placed on record IN
the recorders office in Detroit by the Hon.

an unmItigated falsehood and written for cam
paigu purposes. II person will stoop to such
meanness they are utterly unfit TO publish
paper We are credlbly informed that MIR.
Field contributes the whole OF his annual in
come OF about $4,000, for the benefit OF the
Gresnback cause. AS Mr.. +. ID one OF the
recognized leaders OF the party he is good
sued target for the missiles OF the old worn
ont patties, but then this Is fair sample Of
their mudsllnglng and 10 about as near the
truth az they generally get. They have duped
the people for years and made them believe
that they are immaculate and fit to rule them,
bat the scales are falling from the eyes of the
people and the old parties stand revealed in
all their naked deformity.'
Now will the Independent please copy the

AS to Mr.. Fields $4,000 income, we know
nothing. But grant that to be so, it strikes us
that, under the late rulings Of the Supreme
Court OF this State, Mr.. Field will find plenty
OF uss for that a15,eOO in paying to soldiers

As a matter OF still further consolation we
add this from the Post h Tribune OF July 9.
THAT MORTGAGE!
Any voter. who desires TO see the original OF
the Field ten per cent. interest and one hun
dred per cent. sttorneyfee mortgage, can do
no by calling at the Office OF the Register Of
Deels OF this county, on the first floor Of the
City Hall; he will fad it on page 6Oi Of Liber
1873 OF Mortgages.
The treatment OF this matter by the Ma
uou.I" press is amusing. Some Of them have
fallen back on the policy OF brassins il
through" and justify Fields "shyIock" per-
formancs ani his hypocrisy in executing this
instrument All making his Grand Rapids !
