was reelected when the Legislature met the
following winter without contest, and then
the machine and Bagiey prepared for the
death grapple which sss to ensue last winter
when new senatorial term was to begin.
Nothing was neglected on either side which
could secure success. The machine, with the
whole federal patronage and much of the
State patronage i'll its hands, strained every
point to entrench itself against the assault
for which Bagley was preparing. Bagley
without an Office in his control. went directly
TO the people. Every school district was
canvassed, and the moment the Legislative
nominations were made the chief % both
factions knew upon whom they coald de-
pend. II was conceded that Bagley had the
people with him, and the triumphant return
of the whole list of Republican candidates,
all pledged to him, in the city of Detroit,
showed the hold he had upon the popular
heart. He had beaten his enemies before
|
| the legislature met, but much was still TO be
done The first efforts of the machine men
Were directed to divide; and SO they set up
two candidates, and brought every induce
ment of patronage to bear. The result is too
recent to need repetition. Peridy yielded
TO the great inducements held ont by power
and John j. Bagley was beaten by a vote
which the people had delegated TO be cast
for him.
Though wealthy, he made the best use OF
his riches in developing the best commercial
interest of the State. In addition 10 his ex-
tensive tobacco business, he was engaged in
many other commercial and banking enter
prises, among which are the Detroit Safe
Manufacturing Company, the Mutual Life
Insurance Company, of Michigan, of which
he was President for five years. He was
also one of the Board of Directors of the
American National Bank, and stockholdel
and partner III many other concerns. Hi,
benevolence was unbounded and gave largely
from his abundant store, toward betterinl
the condition of the very poor. Michigan
has added another name to the long roll o
her illustrious dead. but there is none amona
them whose memory will be more sacredlN
cherished by the great mass of the people
than that OF Hon. John j. Bagley.

much felt want among the letter-writers
of the country is some kind of paper cur
rency for fractional amounts, like the old
postal scrip. which WIS born in the throes of
the rebellion and died with the resumption
OF specie payments. Postmaster General
James has devised n method for issuing
money orders, payable to bearer in sums of
less than S5. One of the denominations will
represent sums within $3.50, and the other,
sums from that amount up to So. Three
rows of numerals for units, tens. and hun
dreds Will enable postmaster To punch out
the figures representing the amount. as
railroad conductor punches out the number
OF miles from ticket of that description, or
as the Central Michigan savings bank pun
ches its drafts. The department will charge
small fee of three or five cents for each
order, the postmasters keeping their ac-
counts by means of stubs, and the paper will
be finely engraved and printed with other
precautions against counterfeiting. We
agree with the Detroit Post and Tribune
that only one charge-and that not exceed
ing three cents-should be made for any
order. for 1t is no more work to keep the ac-
count OF the largest than the smallest ones /:
also, that the orders should he issuabIe from
any postofiice in the country, upon deposit
of the amount desired and tie lawful fee.
and they should be payable at any other
postoffice on presentation. a multitude of
people cannot now safely transmit fractional
Sums because postage stamps are undesirable
and become filthy and spoiled, and silver
coin is SO heavy as TO burst the envelope and
