HORRIBLE, IF TRUE.
Plenty of Bullets, But Very Lit
tie Gore.

LOUISVILLE, July 1O,-The afternoon
Post of Saturday contained the notice of
the death of the World nespapeT, to which
John B. Gaines, the World editor, took
exception. To-day, Gaines issued a
dOdger in which Colonel Sears, editor of
the Post, was denounced as a coward,
dTunkard, etc. Late this afternoon the
two men met on the street, when Sears
hit Gaines over the head with a cane.
Gaines drew a revolver, Sears did the
same, and both men began firing, ceas-
ing only when the reVOlVers were empty.
Only one shot took effect, and that in
Sears foot. A tremendous crowd at
once collected, and the two principals
in the encounter gave themselves up and
went at once to Jail.
The wonder seems to be that both
Gaines and Sears were not more serious
ly hurt, as when the former fred they
were in very close quarters, and Colonel
Sears is known to be good shot, even
at long range. Colonel Sears wound is
not serious one. 1t Is inside of the
left foot, and, though painful, is not
deep or dangerous. He had, however, a
through his pants pockets; cutting the
cloth but not grazing the skin. Gaines
was bruised about the back of the head
with cane. The scalp was cut slight
ly, but he was not seriously hurt. He
remarked to the crowd which gathered
around him at the station house: "Well,
gentlemen, this is only little news
paper controversy, and something that's
liable to happen to any newspaper man" "
Both gentlemen were released on bail
shortly after their arrest.
Captain G.. W. Beach was shot by a
stray bullet while standing in the front
door of his notion store on jefferson
street just above Fifth. The ball struck
his left arm, inficting a flesh wound
which bled, but is not serious.

This morning the City Band marched
down to the ConnOtton depot to act as a
musical escort to the largest picnic of
the season which has as yet left Canton
for Congress Lake. We refer to the
grand consolidation Of the Wrought
Iron Bridge Company and the Bush Nov
city Iron Works employees and their
legion of friends. Eleven coaches were
required to accommodate the crowd,
over thousand in number, and two en-
gines were under high pressure in order
to transport this load of happy human
ity, who wish to enjoy heavens breezes
after years unremitting toll in work
shop and office. The afternoon trains
will also carry a number more, but we
go to press before they leave. We wish
them merry day.

This amount does not include the num-

A New Route.

An East Tawas correspondent of the
Detroit Post and Tribune, among
other things in a letter to that paper
dated August II, writes as follows
"The near completion of the Port
Huron and Northwestern railroad
from Port Huron to Port Austin,
cause our people to desire a steamer
or steamers to be placed here to form
a daily line in connection with this
road, from Port Austin to Alpena
calling at Tawas, Oscoda, Harrisville
and Alpena. The merchants of Port
Huron alone may well afford to act
literally in placing steamer here
and such route may appropriately be
styled, Bay City and Saginaw cut off,
as Port Huron and Detroit can be
more speedily reached by shore steam-
ers crossing the bay here than bv
Bay City. Already one Port Huron

Detroit, Aug. 10th, ISIS

Detroit, Aug. 10th, 1882.
EDITOR OF ARGUs:-It is rumored
in Detroit literary circles that one of
our most admired amateur elocution-
lists, Miss Cassie Watkins, has received
an appointment from the Alpena
School Board for the ensuing year.
IF this is true we must congratulate
Alpena. Miss w. is pupil of Prof.
Warman, of Boston; also of Garry
Hough, the retired actor. The fol-
lowing is clipped from the Essex Rec
ord:
Miss Cassie Watkins, elocutionist,
favored Essex Centre on Tuesday
evening with some of her famous read
ings, under the auspices of the Empire
Literary Society, in the G. NJ. Church,
which edifice was filled at an early
hour. The society is still in its infan-
cy, and this was its first public enter
tainment. The programme consisted
of ten readings by Miss Watkins, in
terspersed with music, vocal and in
strumental, by Mrs. Laing and Mrs.
Mason, of Essex Centre. Miss Wat
kins' rendering of the Raven and
"Curfew Must Not Ring .To-Night,"
displayed a dramatic power Of much
promise. "The Creeds of the Bells"
was beautifully read, while her perso-
nations of the Naughty Little Girl"
"Miss Maloney on the Chinese CUES
tion," and two or three other pieces of
a comic nature, gave the audience
plenty to laugh at, to say nothing
of "Fare-ye-well, Brother Watkins"
which completely brought down the
house. Altogether it was one of the
best affairs ever held in Essex Centre,
and Miss Watkins may rest assured
Of a welcome and crowded house
whenever she may again favor our
town with her delightful readings.
We wish this talented young lady
every success in Alpena, and only
hope that she will be as highly apprc-
ciated there rs she is here.

DEMoCRATIC PLATFORM.


The Democracy Of Michigan, in convention as
sembled, recognizing the people as the source OF
political power and the Constitution rs the funda-
mental law of the land, do solemnly declare:
THAT home rule is the essence of government
that the line bounding State and national author
ity is clearly defined, and needs only to be strictly
followed to insure the broadcast liberty to the peo-
2.-Earnestly believing that a real civil service
reform is needed TO purify every department Of the
Federal government, we, therefore, demand, as an
initial but important step in this direction, an
amendment to the Federal constitution which will
give to the people Of the several cities villages and
such other postal districts may be authorized by
law, the right TO elect postmasters.
We also demand that Federal subordinate officers
shall not be appointed OF removed because OF po-
litica belief nor appointed until their ability and
merit have been proven by open public examina-
ton and competition, and that political assessments
on, or forced contributions from, public officers
should be made felony by law.
3.-We are unalteraby opposed TO the unjust,
unequal and iniquitous system OF taxation called
aprotective tariff, which Expresses the farmer and
laborer, destroys our merchant marine, breeds and
enriches monopolies, and impoverishes the poor.
The traditional policy and principles of the Demo-
cratic party are on the side OF complete CONNER
gressive revenue reform in the direction Of free
trade subject to tariff only sufficient TO raise the
necessary revenue for the expenditures of govern
ment economically administered.
4.-That the right of Congress TO make appro-
priations for the improvement Of rivers and har-
bors should be restricted TO such Of national
be Bribed with share q che theft to sanction the
waste of t300OO,000 in two years; and we denounce
without distinction of party, all who voted in
Congress for the inquitous river and harbor bill.
5.-That the letting of the printing of the an
nual tax sales 10 party favortes, without Compel
Hive bidding, and the keeping in the State treas
funds for the benefit of partisan Office holders
while the people are heavily taxed are democrat
ling 10 the public service and demand immediate
reform.
We cordially invite the voters of Michigan, with
out regard 20 previous party affiliations, TO Join
in an earnest effort to correct these abuses, by
withdrawing the administration of state affairs
from those who have been already too long in
power, and confding IL TO those who come freshly
from the people, untrameled by the tyranny of po-
htical rings and Of party machinery.

wholesale grocer has been here and up
the shore accommodating and taking
orders. 1t is rumored that Captain
Cole has intimated his intention of
putting the splendid little steamer
Arundel on the route. But this
seems hardly feasible; one reason.be-
ing the breaking of the line of
shore boats. Still we have no doubt
that Captain Cole could let the Arun-
dell leave Alpena every evening for
Port Austin, and the Metropolis con-
meet with her here, and make the
round trip to Bay City and return
daily. There is no objection to the
ArundelPs speed, but only as to her
being too small for freighting. An
effort was lately made to purchase
the Dix for this route, but before the
arrangements were fully completed
she was sold to other parties, who,
when they learn of this route may fill
it. Either she or the City of Cleve.
land would well fill the bill, and secure
a large patronage from the people
A large amount ofsupplies for lumber
ing are each fall brought to this place
from Port Huron and Sand Beach
and this season several of our lumber
men intimate an intention of purchas
ing their hay and grain along the line
of the Port Huron and Northwestern
railroad, which of course will have tc
cross the bay from Port Austin"
