Geo. M. Dewey, of The TINES,
Owosso, formerly of the Hastings
Banner, professedly a radical temper.
ance man, says in his issue of Sept. 4:
awe are pleased to see there is a
reasonable prospect of the nomlna.
ton of Hon. N. A. Earle in the Kent
district. Mr.. Earle is very able
man, who would honor his calling to
the congressional field"
In our opinion the temperance
creed of our friend Dewey needs
some revision, and as for his ability
as prognosticator of coming events,
we only need to say that Mr.. Earle
did have the support of about half
of his own county delegation, but
nothing more.
The above from The Lever is
scarcely worthy of notice, and, yet,
we feel like saying that, when the
above notice was penned, there was,
as stated, reasonable prospect of the
nomination of Mr.. Earle. We also
affirm that he is an able legislator,
and, aside from the fact that he did
not vote to submit the Constitutional
Amendment, we do not know of any
vote of his in the Legislature, that
was not tor the best interests of the
State. And while we regret that he
did not see the Amendment question
as we saw it, and as the Lever editor
saw it, we do not propose to write a
man unfit for high and responsible
trust that we knoao is abundantly
fitted by native ability and culture to
do honor to it, simply because on o
single question, which cannot by any
possibility be placed before him for
action in the position he seeks, he
differs from us in opinion, and no
fair-minded man will In our judge
ment do any such foolish thing.
AS to our views on the so-called
temperance question, they are our own
and not the property of The Lever
nor have we authorized The Lever to
speak for us. We feel fully compe-
tent to speak for ourself.
The times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1882-1897, 1882-09-15

There seems to be a wide differ
ence of opinion in regard to the real
significance of the amendment plank
in the Republican platform. Some
claim that it means nothing so far
the merits of the question of prohi-
bition is concerned, while others
claim that it amounts to DEGRADATION
in favor of the principle of prohibit
ton as we'll as declaration in favor
of the submission of the question to
the people. If it is true than no
honest man can favor the submission
who does not favor the principle of
prohibition and if all the members
of the Kalamazoo convention were
honest men then the declaration
must mean prohibition pure and SIM
pie, and the Republican party must
be a prohibition party. Whether
this plank means the one thing or the
other, one thing is wonderfully cer-
tain and that is the saloonatics are
awfully mad about it and are raving
franticaily. They begin to see the
handwriting on the wall and under
stand its terrible significance.
The above from the Lever is a very
significant article. 1t affirms that the
saloons "are raving frantically" about
the temperance plank in the Repub-
lican platform, which Gov. Jerome
SO cordially accepted with all that it
implied. And yet this same Lever is
joining the saloonists in a vigorous
warfare against Gov. Jerome. "Oh
consistency thou art jewell

1t is the opinion of the New York
World that "when the manufacturer
demands that American labor be pro-

but American labor, protected by

that it be not protected. The laborer

proud, and which by his re-nomina-
ton are most emphatically endorsed
by the people of his district. Per-

lator, and only desire to add that his
high standing IN the body for which
he has been nominated, his extended
personal acquaintance with the public
men of the State, and with the wants
of the State on all economic ques-
tons, his practical knowledge of the
minutia Of legislation and the work
ings of the body to which he has
been so unanimously re.nominated,
his recognized character as a man
stalwart in principle and yet genial
and friendly in dealing with matters
of legislation, all fit him in an emf
nent degree for the position for
which he has been nominated, and
stamp him as man whom that dis
trict should delight to honor with
reelection.
