The Michigan Mechanic.

Here is what the Detroit (Mich.)
Free Press has to say about Mr.. Ire
vellick, the Decentralization champ
ion, and who has been imported into
this State to boost Walker into Con-
gress:
@Trevellick, in this neighborhood,
is simply the Lcatherlungs of any
movement in which he engages. As
his last employer said, in appologiz-
ing for making use of him: There's
got to be somebody that can do the
outdoor believing" and Trevellick is
just the man. His speaking of him
self as q Michigan mechanic" and
a "horney-handed son of toll" is
merely his humorous way of putting
things There is a tradition that he
once had a trade, but the oldest in
habitant dosen't remember when he
did a days labor at it. The "sweat of
the brow" by which he lives accumu-
lates on the foreheads of other men
real mechanics-who are guileless
enough to give him support in re.
turn for the questionable services he
renders them by his demagogic
harangues. If the Greenback-Labor
cause in West Virginia stands in
need of Trevellick, II must be in a
very bad way indeed"

County Conventions.

We had hoped that the call for a
Democratic County Convention
would have been made in this paper,
but is not. We presume that it will
be done in our next paper. The
committee should bear in mind that
there is no time to lose. The coun-
ty must be thoroughly and complete
ly organized for the great fight this
Fall. Efforts must be put on foot
that will heal all dissensions in our
party; we must win back those who
have strayed away from the fold.
Thus the committee will see that
they have a great work before them,
and the sooner they get the ball in
motion, the better it will be for the
party. We have no fears of the re-
suit in this county, but if we are
organized our victory will be SO much
more complete.

Recruiting The Imperial Army.
In an exchange we find the follow
ing startling disclosure. II is enough
TO put every lover of his country to
thinking. This cry of astrong Gov
ernment" is not all bosh, as many
proclaim, but is becoming a stern
reality, and itshould be arrested, now
while the people have an opportuni-
". In another year it may be too
late. Read the following carefully.
Ponder it we'll. The exchange says:
Grant being the gstrong man. who
to stake his seat whether elected
or not, according to the Republican
programme, has already accepted the
position of chairman and "com-
mander in chief Of the military or
ganization that is forming to do his
bidding.
"The way in which this army of
100000 men, which his supporters
say will be ready at his beck to MS.
sist in his installation, is being re-
crnitfd, is shown by the issue Of cir
culars from the headquarters of the
Union veterans Union in New
York City, signed by the well known
Drake De Kay, containing the or.
ganizationof theseveral corps which
are to make up this grand army of
usurpation. The purpose of this
union" as stated in the scheme of
bylaws, is to battle "the unrepent-
ant, unenlightened and rebel Democ-
racy," and to "keep in ascendancy
in the country the Republican par
ty." For this purpose the "union"
is to be differed, drilled and armed
and be ready to take the field "when
called out to aid in the suppression
of disorder"
This secret armed organization is
to be established in every town and
village of the North, and to be Off
cered with military gentleman bear
ing the following titles:
GA president with the brevet rank
Of Colonel.
"Two Vice, Presidents with brevet
rank Of Lieutenant-Col
"a Secretary with the brevet rank
of Major.
ga Treasurer with the brevet rank
Of Major.
ga Recording Secretary with the
brevet rank of Captain.
"a Quartermaster with the brevet
rank of Captain.
"a Marshal with the title of Mar
shall"
The bylaws provide among other
things that "the command shall
make use OF the tactics for the time
being in use by the United States
Army" x Il *
"on occasions of parade, or ,chea
called out to AID IN the suppression odds
order"
Thus we have boldly forming
throughout the country a military
conspiracy with the Republican can
didate for the Presidency at its head,
which fills up the remaining link in
the imperial programme that pro-
poses to assist his majesty to stake
his seat"

There is too much squirming and
lodging around regarding the com
bining of the elements opposed to
Bourbon rule in this State. We
have issues enough in the State to
make up campaign on, and we are
ready and willing to combine with
the gaod people Of this State in shak-
ing of the ruinous rule of the Bour.
bon wing Of the Democratic party
We care not whether the combining
elements be Greenbackers, Working
men or any other hackers or men,
We know that consolidation of this
kind will carry the State if good men
are put forward for the different Of
fees. Two years ago we suggested
the same course in this county and

cial problem has been settled and the
redemption of the State should be
the grand aim of the people in the

After reading the above, the Dem
ocrat who doubts is damned. the
Workingman or Greenbacker who
aids the Republican party is deft,
and they have no desire for free gov
eminent. The Republican party
used to have principles; now they
have no higher conception of policy
than to get control of the govern
ment, by any and all means, Why
should the Greenbacker and Work
ingmen go with the Republicans,
who represent the strong govern
inens' and financial power, which
means that if they cannot rule,by
the use of money, they will do so by
the use of the army? Why should the

The "boomu has struck this city
with full force; or in the language of
the Irishman, shit it a hell of a
lick" Business of all kinds has re.
yived, and everybody seems tofeel
good over the outlook. Hotels say
that they are doing as good business
as they did before the panic Of 1878,
Retail men are gratifed beyond
measure at the increased business,
while wholesale men simply smile
and rub their hands in gratified,
complaisant manner. Lumber and
real estate is booming, and has
helped many a poor man out of the
suds.
Politics are Of course the all alb
sorbing topic, among certain class.

party Of the State, while the Repub.

called Cameron Convention" which
met in February and instructed for
Grant is cooling down. Simon Cam
ieron is more feared than loved by his
party, and the feeling among the
wise-acres of the Radical party seems
to be that if Cameron is snubbed,
and Grant not nominated that he
will turn the State of Pennsylvania
over to the Democrats. Such things
have been done, and l have no doubt
can be done again. Six years ago,
when Wallace was elected U. s. Sen
ator, there were persons who did not
fear to say that the feat was accom-.
plished by the Cameron influence
Well, il Grant should not be nomin-
ated, and Cameron should throw the
Republican party of Pennsylvania
into commissions, with Conkling do
ing the same in New York, it would
not be reversing the order of things,
but simply history repeating itself,
by re-enactment of the campaign Of
1860. l fear | have already annoyed
