all the old and trustworthy clerks, in some In

when remonstrance was made by some of the out

A certain gentleman Of this place
informs us of a ludicrOus incident that
occurred on train out West during one
of the hot days of the past summer.
A number of commercial tourists,
better known as "drummers" were seat
ed together and about to open divers
bottles of champagne when it suddenly
occurred to them that there was no Ice to
be had. A generous old German suggest
ed that perhaps he could obtain some
on the train. The offer was accepted,
and the German invited to partake with
them if he could procure the ice. Going
to the baggage car he shortly returned
with the glistening Jumps. 1t was soon
used up and the German was dispatched
for more, which in turn vanished with
the wine. The festive drummers again
requested the Dutchman to procure more
ice. Out he went, but soon returned
sadly remarking, as he resumed his seat

for Cheboygan, probably, than any other
man who has represented Michigan in
congress. While member of the House
he was a member of the committee on
commerce. and his position on that COM
mittee enabled him to do good work to-
ward securing appropriations for the inn
prOvement of our harbor, and he never
failed to interest himself in behalf of
Cheboygan's interests. His speech was
mainly devoted to national and state af
fairs. He referred to the charges by the
opponents to the Republican party!Of cor
rupti0n in the latter, and asked of any
Democrat or Greenbacker in the hall to
name one instance, but nary Greenback-
er or Democrat ''peeped." He showed by
the record of the party that it was a
party worthy of trust and confidence.
He dwelt sometime upon the Importance
of protection and the benefits the labor
ing man and farmer derived from the
protective policy of the Republican par
ty. His speech was enthusiastically re-
ceived and cannot fail Of doing good, for
his statements were fair, candid and re-
liable. Taking it, all in all, it was by
far the best meeting of the season and a
fitting close Of Ethe compaign that has
been attracting the attention of our citi-
Zens.

Begole's HandbilI.

Mr.. Josiah W. Begole, candidate for
governor, has issued a scandalous at
tack upon Governor Jerome for not sign
ing bill providing for the wedging OF
railroad frogs.
The facts are these: III
The bill was introduced in the house
February 18, 1881. .. tf,
1t was not disposed of by the leglsla-
ture until June 8, on the last day and in
the last hours of the session, when its
engrOssment was reported with large
number of other bills whose provisions
could hardly have been familiar to any
considerable number Of the members.
1t did not reach the governor until the
9th of June, after the Legislature had adj
jOurned There was no chance for him
to suggest any amendment, and when
he first saw the bill there was no house
| in session to which he could send . veto
message; and yet Mr.. BegOle's hand-bill
impudently implies falsehOOd In stating
| that "had he returned IL to the house
with his veto, the bill would have been
passed unanimously over his head"
| The governor was anxious to sign the
bill If It's provisions could be enforced
without imperiling the safety of passen-
| gers. ~ tua.,
He at once took the advice of the pub
lie officer whose opinion he should prop
erly take in such matter-Mr. w. B.
| Williams, the railroad commissioner
and was assured that wedges such as
were required by the bill could not be
put in without danger of throwing
trains off the track. and that in many
essential features the bill was imprac-
ticable. AS humane and sensible man
the governor could do nothing but with
hold his signature and let the bill die,
the legislature having already adjourn
ed. .It
When the same legislature met in
special session last winter the governor
seized the occasion to have the crude ac-
tiOn of the regular session corrected. No
subject could be taken up unless named
by him in his message, and although a
great many interests were pressed upon
the governor, he put most of them aside,
but, of his own motion, called attention
to this subject in the following words:
At the last session of the legislature a
bill to provide for blocking railroad
frogs was passed by both houses and
presented for my approval. On criti-
provisions were enforced they would en-
| udhSOL ouO VI OAdiio, dhu ehO
safety of the travelling public, conse-
quently my signature was withheld.
submit the question for your cOnsidera-
ton, and if any practical mode can be
prescribed to secure the safety Of en-
, plOyes of railroads and not endanger the
public it would meet my approval.
No action was taken in the legislature
No friend of Mr.. BegOle's--nO Democrat
or greenbacker-then thought 1t was
, worth his while to introduce "a new bill
or to say word about the safety wedge
1t has taken Mr.. Begole and his friends
over 16 months to find out that there
was anything blamewOrthy in what Gov
} Jerome did or omitted to do in con
, nectiOn with this bill.
This scurrilOus handbill Is the result
of malignant afterthOught, and is sem
out for electiOneering purposes, to create
an unfair prejudice among those whit
! are not acquainted with the facts.-De
