Burned

About six o'clock last Tuesday
evening, while Mr.. Mills and family,
Judge Hart and number of others
were eating supper, Mr.. Mills heard
the work of destruction of the fire
fiend overhead, and he jumped from
the table and rushed up stairs. He
saw that it was useless to attempt to
save the building, the fire having
gained such Roadway before discov-
cred that to extinguish it was an i'm
possibility. So all went to work car
rying out the furniture and other
household effects, and in very short
time nearly all the neighbors in sight
were there and everything was saved
except the billiard table. The fire
caught from the stove-pipe of the
parlor stove. The building, includ
ing residence, dance hall and saloor
cost Mr.. Mills $4,000. It is a sever,
loss.

GENERAL RUSSELL A. ALGER.

The Republican party in Michigan is
not lacking in Gubernatorial timber,
and already the names of number of
able men of the state have been present
cd by their several friends, either Of
whom would make good executive. but
among them all mono strikes us more
favOrably than that Of Gen. Russell A.
Alger, now of Detroit, formerly Of Grand
Rapids, gentleman well and favOrably
known all over the state. He is man
of culture, has travelled extensively. pos
sessed of wealth, without which no man
can afford to accept the position, a sue
cessful business man and gallant SOL
der. The only objection that has been
raised to his candidacy is the fact that
he resides in Detroit. This, instead Of
being against him Is, in our opinion
only evidence of good judgment, and his
choice of the handsomest city in the
state, and ore of the handsOmest in the
country, as his place of residence should
only commend him as gentleman Of
excellent taste. The Republican party
does not propose to elect man governor
of Detroit or any other locality, but Of
the whele state, and any person who is
acquainted with General Alger must
know that he would not neglect his duty
to any portion Of the state because he
resides in Detroit. He has large inter
ests outside Of that city, and would be
less likely to be controlled by local in
terest than some Of the other able men
that have been mentioned. We believe
he Is the choice of the Republicans Of
northern Michigan, and that no name
would bring greater strength to the
ticket than his. Give us General Russell
A. Alger as the Republican candidate
for Governor.

REV. WILLIAM M. THAYER, of Franklin,
Mass, prominent eastern prohibition
list, has written an open letter to ex-
Governor st. John, in which he protests
against the latter's action as a boltsr
from the rank Of the Republican party
on the ground hat by so doing he sacri-
fees every Republican principle for
which he has fought for a score of years
simply because he has lost one of those
principles, namely, the refusal of the
Republican convention to advocate con-
stitutional prohibitions. The writer
urges the eminent PrOhibitionist to re-
main within the ranks of the Republican
party in order to save all the other
great principles,so closely identified with
prohibition work. and concludes by say
ing that the Prohibitionists, by boiling
from the Republican praty. give up not
only all hope of securing prohibition,
either within or without that party, but
sacrifice all the other cardinal principles
which have maintained the institutions
of the Nation.
