number of lady students is increasing
each year" That is pleasant news
to those of us who fought the battle
which resulted in opening the doors
of the University TO the daughters OF
Michigan.
In Ottawa county The Republicans
elected every county officer, and
gave the State and National tickets
good old fashioned majority.
The TIMES notes the marriage at
Ross, Allegan county, on the 18th
inst, of Oliver J. Trait, of Vernon,
and Jane Goodspeed, of Ross.
All the Republicans ask is full
vote, an untrammelled vote, and
honest counting. Ii this elects Cleve
land President, the Republicans can
stand it if the men can by whose votes
the result was accomplished.
St. John claimed before election
that his vote would reach million.
1t aggregates about fifth of that
number, yet, Insignificant as that
vote was it was big enough to elect
Grover Cleveland as President, over
one of the best temperance men in
the country.
In November, Republican Govern
ors were chosen in Colorado,
Connecticut, Illinois, Kansas, Mas
sachusetts, Michigan, Nebraska, New
Hampshire, and Wisconsin-nine.
Democratic Governors were elected in
Florida, Indiana, Missouri, North,
and South Carolina, Tennessee, and
Texas. Prior to that, this year,
Republican Governors had been
elected in Rhode Island, Oregon,
Vermont, and Maine--4. Demo.
cratic Governors in Georgia, Arkan-
sas, Kentucky, and West Virginia..
The only State free before the war,
electing Democratic Governor this
year is Indiana.
The Clinton Republican in speak
ing Of the result in that county of the
recent election says: "The fusion
vote this year does not vary IS votes
from that of two years ago, while the
increase of the prohibition vote and
the decrease of the Republican vote
correspond, showing, as we repeated
ly cloimed before election, that the
Prohibition vote came almost wholly
from the Republican ranks. Demo
Gratis may talk prohibition as blind
but the cold figures of the official can
vass show they do not vote it,"
The Clinton Republican is respon.
sible for the following: "Jerome
Eddy, chairman of the Democratic
State Central Committee, is supposed
to have received the following tele-
gram from the Executive Mansion
Nov. S: 'Hon. Jerome Eddy, Presi-
dent of the Salt River Navigation Co.
Pleas send me by return male a
little red pas book. l will have to
doe sum travlin oqer your line at
once. Yours &c, ]. w. Begole,
Gov"
The Toledo, Ohio, Blade, speaks
as follows of the purpose of Mr.. Hurd
to contest the election of Congress-
man in the roth Ohio district: GA
number of local Democratic poll
ticians are asserting that Mr.. Hurd
has decided to TO contest the election
of Mr.. Romeis. They say privately
that the National House of Repre-
sentatives is Democratic by large
working majority, that large num-
Der of the members composing that
majority are his particular personal
friends, and that they will as.
suredly seat him if he will contest
that is, in plain terms, that they
would defeat the will Of the people
of the 10th district, irrespective of the
consideration of right and justice"
1t is amusing to us Republicans to
see the fight going on all about us
for the post-offices. Because as yet
no man knoweth who will he the
next President. And even if Cleveland
should get there, he cannot appoint
to office a single man who cannot
get the endorsement of the Republi-
