An alliance has been made between the
democrats and greenbackers Of Michigan.
The greenbackers accepted the ticket nom
mated by the democrats, and the demo-
Gratis adopted the unobjectionable planks
10 the greenback platform and discarded
the rest. The platform amendments hav-
log been accepted by the greenbackers, the
coalition was amioabIy formed, and the
battle will be fought with c fair show for
victory. The third party in Michigan is
not under the control OF such dishonest
men as il is ia this state.

known melodies We're sung with great
strength and feeling. The most pop
ular feature of the evening were the
plantation songs which were rendered
with all the abandon of South Carolina
negroes. With clapping of hands,
contortions and walk arounds, all of
which ELECTED roars'of laughter from
a highly amused audience. So great
was the applause that the singers were
obliged to respond to several encores.
They are genuine samples of Southern
Methodists, and give a very pleasing
entertainment.-B Era.

In another column will be found
a communication announcing that w.
w. Ames, Esq, of st. Mary's, has con-
sented to allow his name to be used as
candidate for District Attorney Mt
the next election. Mr.. Ames has
been citizen of the county some
eight or nine years and in his profess
sion takes rank as rising man.
Much against his wishes and only after
repeated and urgent solicitations by
citizens of all shades of POLITICAL opin-
ion has he allowed his name to be so
used. The people of the county at
large feel that the constantly increas-
ing criminal business of the courts
makes the office of District Attorney
one of importance and one that should
be filled by an attorney Of known in
tegrity and of repute in the profession.
Mr.. Ames possesses these requirements
and we hope that these who have thus
importuned him to accept an office the
duties of which are not always agree
able, will see to it that he is not sacri-
feed at the polls.
