The Democrats and Greenbackers of
Michigan have consolidated their forces,
and will, it is claimed, elect their State
ticket, at the next election. There is, out
side of spoils, no valid reason why all OPP
ponents of the Republican party, mightnot
unite in the election Of State officers. To do
this would require no sacrifice Of principle
on the part of either; but in the election
of Congressman or Presidential electors we
see no chance for fusion unless the Green
hackers withdraw their ''ultimatum." and
betray the possession Of little common
sense and sense Of falr dealing Regard
ing this impossible, We have, as conse-
quencc, held that fusion is impossible.

opinion relative to the various bills
proposed for the regulation Of freights

believe such things are always

idea that in any such business transaction
where two or more parties are involved

right to assume itself to be the standard
for the other to be subject to, yet We
