With all his might and main,
He hurrics IT, another lot
To advertise again.

There is considerable complaint that the
street lamps are not kept in good condi

Will the Shiawassee Greenbacker tell US
when and where Senator Ferry ever OPP
posed the National Bank policy. His
public record is that of one of the most
unninching Of the advocates Of the Nation

and that is the one bright spot in his Sena
t,rial career. We guess, also. that so far
from an anti-monopolsi, he has ever been
the special friend Of the land grant rail
road policy, except in the one instance
when honest action would deprive some
dishonest land -grabbers OF portion of
their i'll gotten gains. yet the Greonbacker
says TO his fellow Greenbackers in The Leg
istature, "Vote for Ferry" Well, we do
not believe they are inconsistent enough to
do that, but il they are, the Republicans
will see to 1t that no Senator is elected
who can under any circumstances get the
