The Great Storm-Its Hardships on

A lady in Manitowoc thus writes
in a private letter to friend in Lam

storm on Lake Michigan:
"The loss of the Alpena, a boat
you have travelled upon, has created
great deal of interest here. Two
of her crew were from here. One,
Will Shepherd, was nephew of Mr..
RAND. His brother was drowned
while bathing less than year ago.
The other resident was a young man,
Arthur Hoyner. His parents are
left very old and childless, their only
daughter having died a short time
ago. The two old people are nearly
insane in their grief. They are in
good circumstances, having all their
lives denied themselves everything
hey ond bare necessities that they
might save for their children. Mr..
Hoyner and Mr.. Rand have been
over at Holland, Michigan, ever since
the wreck began to float, but re-
turned Friday, having given up all

nothing was in their way. As far as
YOU could see there were white caps
on every wave. All eyes were fixed
on a tug with three barges which
were anchored near the shore. One
of the barges dragged her anchor and
run up a signal OF distress, and the
tug went to her rescue. 1t would

would try to get line, but the wind

are clothed in white stockings and
Chinese shoes or Yankee boots. A
felt hat completes the costume, which
is worn ungracefully by reason OF
the queue which is girded about the
head underneath it. They battle
frequently, wear no beard, and shave
the front portion of the head once a
month.

unintelligible jargon, more like the

coed them to be saucy aud take hope
that they might be yictors In politics

gro they were last whipped. In
Louisiana they usurped the State
government and kept control under
military guard waiting for Hayes to
decide who should have the State. If
he had said "Give il to Packard" the
whole crowd would have peacefully
submitted. Louisiana would have
continued Republican and IS for
South Carolns, Wade HAMPTON
would never have troubled Sherman
p take down his address. Again
they are whipped in 1850. This
time they may not get enough en-
enlargement to induce them to keen
UP q tlght. Their allies in the North
want to give up too. The other day
the Chicago Times quoted from sew
eral leading Democratic papers that
call upon their party to disband.
And now the Madison Democrat puts
the appeal into very well defined
shape, quoted elsewhere in this pa
per. All we have to say in addition
TO what we have already said is, The
Republican parry never viii be
whipped until the Democratic party
is buried out Of sight, and then the
whipping will have to be done by a
party more intensely Republican than
the present victorious party.
