But the result shows that our people cannot
be quite overcome by such transparent shsms.
Democrats and republicans could not be wholly
deceived. 1t is true, however, that the treach-
cry OF our judicial committee, started STAN
pede Of our men, and would have been success
full, but for heroic work. Only one week re-
NAMED to recover, and it was too short for the
democrats to get together and organize. Hun
dreds abstalned from voting for want of tickets.
Hundreds were swindled by the suppression Of
genuine and the substitution OF bogus demo-
cratic tlckets--the work OF the virtuously in
dignant Peoples apostles.
This roguery or positive vice, one or both
combined, in the ranks OF our professed fol-
lowers, has cost Us the management Of many
Of our important stations. But it has been a
good lesson. 1t will not be soon repeated.

The organ OF the democratic party in this
county seems to have struck another discord.
aud you, its grinder, let us address ourselves
personally to you. You will remember how,
when, and where, the purchase money was
planted that secured Mr.. Burrows defeat and
Allen Potters election to congress, few years
ago. You have lately told much OF that ne
farious scheme. viii you disclose as much of
the negotiations that you conducted with Kala :
mazoo parties on the Thursday before election,
while Withholding your issue from the press {?
Do you say that fault OF transportation was
responsible for that delay? The same express
that brought sheets to the other publishers
here brought yours. Did you smell the Ed
wards fraud9 We're you waiting for your piece
of the pie? o. were you letting =" dare not

tives and near frierds Ok Mr.. Edwards had
been loag bardened with his support. Did you
know that Mr.. Potter was one OF these Con-
cole yourself with the reflection that had the
scheme proved successful, they would have been
un!oaded and the poor old decrepit pensioned
upon the people during his prospective life, and
you, been rid OF the encumbrance that has
compelled you for years, to publish little else
than the Hamilton FARM As usual, you
were treacherous to the cause which you pro-
fessed to support, but in this instance you could
say that it was a small offence to betray party
composed 80 largely OF kicksrs But however
these considerations may have weighed with
you, do not be fattered by the attention we are
giving you, and presume that we possess any
ardent feelings, either towards or against you.
We cannot hate one who never was above con
tempt, nor well like the author OF merely un-
Intended good. From corruption OF heart you
would be an honest enemy but through weak

The following letter published in the Demo-
cratic organ OF Kalamazoo, from the chairman
of the democratic committee OF that county.

every fair minded honorable man in that party,
in relation to the means and methods employed
by some of their leaders to secure the election

DEMOCRATIC COUNTY COMMITTEE Rooms,
KALAMAZOO, April 5th 1881.
To THE DEMOCRACY
The election OF yesterday shows very light
poll in nearly all Of the 16 voting precincts in
this county. The severe weather had much to
do with keeping voters at home, but the prn-
cipal cause was the unfortunate and inexcusabe
conduct OF prominent members OF the party,
and those, too, who have aspired to leadership
and preferment within its ranks.
Before either party had called nominating
convention FOR this judicial circuit, many promi-
nent members OF our organization conferred
with, and in good faith proposed to prominent
active members OF the republican party in
Kalamazoo to call q bipartisan judicial con-
vention in this district. The offer was treated
Win nttle tlse tuau couteupt, anu the only
reason assigned was that the man whom the
Peoples convention afterwards nominated
was secure OF partisan nomination by the
Republicans. They did not however nominate
him. Then came the "Pecksinf fian" howl about
the infamous partisan methods that secured
the nomination OF his republican opponent.
which was so presistently carried forward that
timid democrats, even the chairman OF our
democratic judicial convention, who had already
called our convention, became so far bewldered
that he ordered the adjournment to date later
than that OF the Peoples" and, however much
the result OF the peoples" convention may
have disguised those democrats who were be-
guiled into becoming parties to that fasco it is
sufficient to say that they had boxed themselves
up as part of that cargo, and had to attempt
the voyage.
But, like other wrong doors, when one step is
taken, the second is needed for balance. and
before election day they found themselves en-
gagged in more dirty work than they had even
charged their opponents with doing. Bogus
tickets, lying circulars. and false representa-
tom OF all sorts, OF the character so forcibly
painted out in their malignant Illumination
against republican party methods.

tempt was pcemeditated.

which one of our largest and most an

small means, chiefly for the sake of the
great advantages of the school, had ta-
ken up her abode there, and as the little
town or village, for it was scarcely

families were not unnaturally acquainted
with each other. The poor lady, whose
notions of honor were of the strictest
kind, died year or two ago. | don't
