Michigan is experiencing surprise
similar to that from which several other
States are suffering. Last year the State
elected reform democratic greenback
governor of the tidal-wave type The on.
ly thing he has done to attract atten-
ton is in sending some of the most unique
vetoes to the legislature that any governor
ever composed. 1t was believed however,
that he was honest though harmless. Blu,
it is now discovered that he has been i'm
proving his opportunities by appointing
bis friends to sinecures and offices and
making himself solid generally with the
wire-pullers in his party. So another
proof is given of the mistake the people
made last year when they imagined they
would get reform by electing democrats
to governorships.

start on his contemplated trip across the
continent to the Yellowstone valley about the
LIST OF August next, if nothing should occur

A great many people wonder why Ross should
row Hanlan, when it is so generally conceded
that Wallace will be defeated. That the race
did not take place before is certainly no fault
of Ross, for he has been trying to get on the
race for two years. Ross, the last time the
men met. defeated Hanlan at Providence, and
his friends claim that he is great deal better
man now than he was then. The general
opinion is, however, that it may be a good
race for mile or less, and that Hanlan will
then go in and win rs he pleases. There are
a few, however, who believe that Ross will
defeat Hanlan. 1t comes from good sources
that Kennedy is of the opinion that Hanlan
is almost sure to win.

tor intelligent persons to believe that a
