The Greenbackers of Michigan, after good
deal of hesitation, have made up their minds
that they actually can bring themselves to as
sociate with the Democrats in that State; and
the result is fusion ticket with the great
Governor Begole again its head We confess
that we really would like to know If the Cover
nor has already asked the Pere Marquette Rail
road TO renew his pass for "self and wife" for

After all il does not look as if NJ Ferry were
so anxious to fight China as one might suppose,
Judging from his very warlike official utter
ances. He has reduced the indemnity de-
manded from the Celestial Empire on account

and will grace the Office in which he will sue
coed Mr.. Waller next January. The platform
is notable for its pith, devotion TO Mr.. Blaine,

the Treasury widens the scope of the law, no
suspected immigrants must be sent to Wards
Island, but must be kept on the ship or in

condition is decided.
So many collisions Of steamships have been
reported within the last few days that II seems
as if captains and pilots rs a class were grow
ing careless i'll the performance of their duties.
For instance, the Twilight, of Boston, IN one
trip OH Tuesday ran into three other
boats or was run into three times by them,
and two North River ferryboats yesterday
went smashing together with out any
