While the Republican National
Committee is sending out a honeyed
message from Blaine to the South,
Judge" Tourgee, a man in high favor
with Northern Republicans is writing
this kind of stuff to the New York
Tribune: a.
/ do not think the Southern people
ought to be given the direction of the
nation, however, until they have shown
by actual exemplification in the States
under their control that they at least
know what free government means.
To be Democrat to my mind means
to be an advocate of "kukluxism," the
"bullwhack," the shotgun policy" or a
partaker of the fruits thereof. But for
these unlawful and barbarous instru-
mentalities the Democratic party
would to-day be without one-balf of its
assured strength.

THE difference between the De

THE difference between the Democ-
racy of our querulous neighbor down
the street and that which we profess,
lies in the fact that our neighbor liter
ally belongs to the party and we don't.
We follow party prOmulgations that
we believe in but we don't wear the
party color. We didn't believe in a
railroad commission before the recent
State convention and the feeble utter
ance which that body made on the
subject didn't convert us. If the Dem
ocrat had been in Iowa when the COM
mission scheme was preached there it
would have opposed the measure be-
cause the Republicans supported it.
Our rule of action is something above
the purely partisan.

THE OCTOBER ELECTIONS.

The State elections in Ohio and West
Virginia come of next Tuesday. The
important bearing their result will
have on the Presidential election next
month makes them the object of gen.
eral solicitude. nsiiiAtl5f
Reports are so conflicting, and the
claims of the two parties are at such
variance that we are completely puz-
zled in our attempts to prophesy tho
result Our bewilderment is made
greater because there are 50 many is
sues and causes at work that it is inn
possible to tell what the effect is going
to be on the voters. <tl
We are very much encouraged to
hoIe, however, that the Democrats will
triumph. In order to do this it is not
necessary that they carry Ohio. That
Stateis conceded to the Republicans,
and they must maintain good major
ity there. or own practical defeat.
The indications are that the German
vote, hitherto Republican, will go al
most solidly Democratic. The whisky
interests are opposed to the Republi-
can ticket and number of Independ-
ent Republicans who oppose Blaine
will vote with the Democrats.
Opposed to this is some disaffection
among Irish Democrats, the dissatis-
faction OF the wool growers because
the last Congress refused to restore
the tariff on wool, and the fact that
the Republicans are spending four
times as much money as the Demo
Gratis. .-
Blaine's personal canvass Of the State
has probably done him more harm
than good. A stumping tour is not
considered exactly the thing for a
presidential candidate.
Different causes operate in West
Virginia from those that effect the
election in Ohio. The whisky ques-
ton cuts no figure there and the tariff
enters more largely into consideration.
1t is said by some that the Democratic
ticket in this State is not strong one
and that the party may lose some votes
there on that account. -..-
We will venture no absolute predic-
ton as to the outcome of these cleo
tons, but wish to express this guarded
opinion which we hope will be taken
with all due allowance. On the whole
the Democrats are going to have more
cause to rejoice than the Republicans,
but their source Of congratulation will
come rather from Ohio than West Vir-
ginia. ..e j..

ONE OF THE "MONOPOLIES."

The Illinois Central railroad is doing
more for Tennessee, and all of the
Southern country that it passes thro
from Cairo to New Orleans, than twen-
ty railroad commissions could do.
This grinding monopoly" is deter
mined to build up the Southern terri
tory adjacent to its line as it did that
in the Northwest. To this end it has
run numerous immigration excursions
and has recently issued a descriptive
pamphlet of that country and given it
very wide circulation. Capt Merry,
of this road, though he lives away up
in Illinois, is worth more to Tennessee
than forty dozen political hacks like
old John Savage. In fact, one Savage
is about as much as the State could
stand, and few more like him would
send it to the demnition bow-wows.
We wish Tennessee was full of men
Of sound business sense and public en-
terprise like Capt Merry.

THE Dresden Era was recently dis
continued, as the editor candidly sta
ted, for the want of sufficient patronage
to support it. 1t was very sprightly
and well gotten up and we cannot ac-
count for its failure unless the secret
lies in the fact that it took its politics
too much after the style of the Nash
vile World, while its surviving COM
petitor, the Enterprise, went on the
other side. Mr.. Tatum, who conducted
the Era, will be employed on the West
Tennessee Wing, at Jackson. We are
glad that so pleasing writer will not
be lost to Tennessee journalism.

Is BLAINE A BAD MANY

The Nashville Banner in that spirit
of neutrality which it persists in calling
independence" refuses to believe that
Blaine is altogether bad man.
In what way does the Banner make
up its estimate of a man? In the
Mullgan letters Blaine stands a self
condemned thief. The Banner will
not do its intelligence the injustice to
say that he swore the truth in his state
ment about that Kentucky marriage.
Our Nashville contemporary is bound
to know that he lied when he said in
Congress that he never had any deal
ings with Tom Scott and when he sta
ted that the letters he then read were
@every scrap and scrimptom" of his
correspondence with Fisher. 1t must
know that he hasn't told the whole
truth in regard to the Hooking Valley
mines and that he probably falsified
about the Madigan circular. 1t must
have its faith in his goodness and pu-
rity little shaken by the transaction
he proposed to have with Mr.. Joy, of
Michigan. Taking all these things
into consideration, we would like to
know what it takes to make the Ban
ner believe that a man is altogether
bad.
We agree with the Banner that the
scandal concerning Blaine's marriage
was not fit subject to bring into the
campaign, but how was it thrust upon
public consideration ? Is the Banners
faith in Blaine so child-like and bland
that n can swallow the Kentucky mar
riage story7 We would like for it to
answer us on that point and also as to
how it CONSTITUTES the Mulligan letters.

Climate of Michigan,

These three facts are scientifically de.
hOnstrated in connection with the eli
mate of Michigan. 1t is less liable to
extremes of cold than sections further
south. The average moisture Of the at
mosphere is equal to the highest capac-
ity of production; and it is capable of
enduring an unusual extreme of drought.
1t is thus better adapated. both in sum
mer and winter, to the interests of agri-
culture and horticulture than any other
northern state, and is as favorable to the
comfort and health of its citizens. The
great lakes, with which the State is near
ly surrounded, of course. exert potent
influence in modifying the eli
mate. The influence 9Xerted by the
water is manifest in the fact that the
more closely you bring a given locality
under the influence of the breeZes from
lakes, the more effectually the climate
is modified. For instance, in different
| localities the temperature differs accord
ing to the situation of the places in re-
latiOn to water; thus. from the greater
prevalence of western winds. sweeping
over the waters to the eastern side Of the
lake, Grand Haven has a winter mean Of
26 80, while just across the lake, and in
/ the same latitude. Milwaukee has a
mean of 90 p and while New Buffalo, in
nearly the same latitude as Chicago has
mean of 20 ., the latter's mean is 241s-
Q. Traverse City, nearly surrounded as
it is, by water although about three hun
dred miles north of Chicago, has mean
temperature of only 10 lower than the
latter city, and has much greater i'm
munity from extremes. 1t is stated that
the most excessive cold at Mackinae, for
period of twenty-eight years. is not ON
an average greater than at Fort Riley,
four hundred and eighty miles further
south; and Mackinac has averaged
warmer by at least Q, for eleven years
than Chicago. The extremes at Macki-
nae are not 80 great as at st. Louis, Mo-,
while the lowest temperature at the for
mer place is only 10 below that of The
latter. 1t is not the severity of the win
tiers, but the extreme frosts which are
disastrous to vegetation. We may have
a very severe winter mean, without ex-
tremes, and our exotic plants remain
uninjured. The extreme frOsts do the
damage, and extreme frosts are as likely
to occur at Peoria, st. Louis, Leayen-
worth, as at any point in Michigan.
Men are too apt to judge Of things
solely by events and to connect wisdom

The G. A. r. dance on Thanksgiving
night was decided success, socially and
financially, the post realizing $2I.60
clear from the proceeds. 1t was proba-
bly, the best conducted dance ever given
in this part of the county. 1t was under
the sole management of committee of
ladies from among the soldiers wives,
hence its success. There is more to fol-
lew.
We beheld the genial faces of Will
Watkins and Frank Hart at the soldiers
dance. These two gentlemen are whole
team when they get away from home,
both of them being professional lady
killers, and quite expert at tripping the
light fantastic.
We notice that the TRIBUNE's Mentor
correspondent made himself conspicu-
Gus on the night of the soldiers dance
by his absence, but then that don't Sig
Nifty that everything wasn't just as love-
ly without him. In fact we overheard
one lady remark to another that she
thought the success of the dance depend
ed largely on his absence. We don't just
remember who it was, whether it was
Mrs. Hancock, Aunt Sally Briggs or Mrs.
Waite that said it. That don't matter,
it was complimentary to Solomon, how
ever.
Wolverine people, who are largely a
very religious class, begin to mariner
because there is no services held in
our church. Having tne best church in
the county outside of Cheboygan and no
pastor is something that don't 20 down
with our folks. We are going to have a
preacher soon, or know why.
We almost forgot to mention that there
is a gentleman in Wolverine that only
calls on one lady fourteen times a day
but then that is ne worse than the gent
that goes over in the country and stays
from early Sunday morning until early
Monday morning.
