said Madigan, "and told him it look

a grave question between capital and

First Prohibition County Convention
in Alpena County.

The first county convention Of the
Alpena Prohibition party was held at
the Council Room last Wednesday af-
ternoon, and was called to order at
two o'clock, by f. M. Wheeler. There
were present about twenty-five dele
gates, and compared very favorable
with the Republican and Democratic
conventions.
Rev. Joslin was elected chairman.
He made few remarks in regard to
prohibition, stated that no dependence
could he placed on the Republican or
Democratic parties, as regarded pro-
hibition, and that he was glad to join
the prohibition party, and would do
what he could to help the cause.
F. M. Wheeler was chosen secre-
tary. On motion of j. Kcston, +. M.
Wheeler was elected delegate to at
tend the State Prohibition convention,
and was empowered to cast the full
vote to which Alpena county is en-
titled.
A county committee was then or
gained as follows:
Chairman-John Keston.
First ward-F. M. Wheeler.
Second ward-Jas. Hamilton.
Third ward-D. ID. Morris.
Alpena township-A. w. Smith.
Long Rapids-Archie Macarthur.
Wilson-Rev. M. j. Hall.
Green-A. r. Richardson.
Maple Ridge-Wm. Malyon.
Ossineke-E. G.. Gerow.
The convention did not decide as to
putting county ticket in the field,
and the matter is left for future action
of the party, and seems to depend up
on what sort Of men the other parties
nominate. If men nominated are

Joining the Cleveland Column.

"Three-fourths of the German Re-
publicans in Illinois will vote for
Cleveland and Harrison" said Mr..
Herman Raster, editor of the Stats
Zeitung. "They will vote for the
Democratic candidates rather than
for Blaine and Oglesby on account of
the prohibition law. 1t was no spe-
cial prohibition party that enacted
that law, but the Republicans as a
party, and hence they want to punish
the Republicans as party, and to
punish them in the spot where it will
do the most harm. They will, there
fore, vote against Blaine and in favor
of Cleveland. This opinion is based
upon information collected by trust
worthy travelling agents. Captain
Bauhns, n former resident of this city
and a stanch Republican, tells me
that he stands nearly alone in Kansas
He says that from 90 to 90 per cent
of the Germans in that State who for.
merly voted the Republican ticket
will vote for Cleveland. | cannot say

The way political matters are mix
ed up this year can be seen from the
following combinations that have been
made: Republicans and Greenback-
ers are united in West Virginia. The
Democrats and Greenbackers are
united in Iowa. Republicans who
are opposed to Prohibition in Kansas
have fused with the Democrats and
nominated a joint ticket. In Mich
igan the Democrats, Greenbackcrs
and Anti-Monopolists have nominated
a joint ticket.

suitable, the Prohibitionists will pro-
badly make up their county ticket
from the nominees of the other par
ties.
No action was taken in regard to
Congressional, Senatorial or Repre-
sentative delegates. Their action in
regard to such officers will depend
upon what the Prohibitionists in the
counties composing said districts de-
eide to do. The chances are that a
full ticket will be nominated.

THE WORKINGMEN.

IllE NOhhlNbMEN'
A true American sentiment recog-
nizes the dignity of labor and the fact
that honor lies in honest toll. Con-
tented labor is an element of national
prosperity. Ability to work consti-
tutes the capital and the wages of Ia
Dor, the income of vast number of
our population, and this interest should
be jealousy protected. Our working
men are not asking unreasonable in
diligence, but as intelligent and manly
citizens they seek the same considera-
ton which those demand who have
other interests at stake. They should
receive their full share Of the care
and attention of those who make and
execute the laws, to the end that the
wants and needs Of the employer and
employed shall alike be observed, and
the prosperity Of the country, the
common heritage of both, be advanc-
ed. As related to this subject, while
we should not discourage the immigra-
ton Of those who come to acknowl-
edge allegiance to our government
and add to our citizen population, yet
as a means of protection to our work
ingmen, different rule should prevail
concerning those who, if they come or
are brought to our land, do not intend
to become Americans, but will injuri-
ously compete with those justly en-
titled to our field of labor. In let
ter accepting the nomination to the
Office Of Governor, nearly two years
ago, made the following statement
to which | have steadily adhered:
"The laboring classes constitutes the
main part of our population. They
should be protected in their efforts
peacefully to assert their rights when
endangered by aggregated capital I;
and all statutes on this subject should
recognize the care Of the State for
honest toll and be framed with view
of improving the condition of the
workingmen." a proper regard for
the welfare of the workingmen being
inseparably connected with the integ-
rity of our institutions, none of our
citizens are more interested than they
in guarding against any corrupting
influences which seek to prevent the
bene6cent purposes of our govern
ment, and none shonld be more watch
full of the artful Vaccinations of those
who allure them to self-inhicted in
jury.
THE RIGHTS OF INDIVIDUALS.
In free country the curtailment
of absolute rights of the individual
should only be such as is essential to
the peace and good order Of the COM
munity. The limit between the pro-
per subjects of governmental control
and those which can be more fittingly
left to the moral sense and selfimpos-
cd restraint of the citizen should be
carefully kept in view. Thus, laws
unnecessarily interfering with the
habits and customs of any of our peo-

pie which are not offensive to the

world and which are consistent with
good citizenship and the public wei
fare are unwise and vexatious.
COMMERCE..
The commerce of a nation to a
great extent determines its SUI
premacy. Cheap and easy transpor-
tation should therefore be literally
fostered. Within the limits of the
Constitution the general govern
ment should so improve and protect
its natural waterways as will enable
the producers of the country to reach
a profitable market.
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES.
The people pay the wages of the
public employees, and they are entitled
to the fair and honest work which the
money thus paid should command.
1t is the duty of those entrusted with
the management of their affairs to see
that such public service is forthcom.
ing. The selection and retention of
subordinates in government employ
ment should depend upon their ascer-
tanned fitness, and the value of their
work, and they should be neither ex-
pected nor allowed to do questionable
party service. The interests of the
people will be better protected; the
estimate of public labor and duty will
be immensely improved; public en-
ployment will be open to all who de-
monstrate their fitness to enter it.
The unseemly scramble for places un-
der the government with the conse-
quent Importantly which embitters of
fetal life all cease; and the public
departments will not be filled with
those who conceive it to be their first
duty to aid the party to which they
owe their places instead of rendering
patient and honest returns to the
people.
HONEST GOVERNMENT.
| believe that the public temper is
such that the voters of the land are
prepared to support the party which
gives the best promise of administer
ing the government in the honest,
simple and plain manner which is
consistent with its character and pur-
pose. They have learned that mys-
terry and concealment in the manage
ment of their affairs cover tricks and
betrayal. The craftsmanship they re-
quire consists in honesty and frugality,
prompt response to the needs Of the
people as they arise and the vigilant
protection of all their varied interests.
If / should be called to the chief
magistracy of the nation by the suf-
frages of my fellow citizens, l will as
sumo the duties of that high Office
with a solemn determination to dedi-
cate every effort to the country's good,
and with an humble reliance upon the
favor and support of the Supreme
Being, who ! believe will always bless
honest human endeavor in the con-
scientious discharge of public duty.

STONE CRUsHER.
Considerable discussion took place in re-
gard to stone crusher and streets Alder
man Warner stated that considerable work
had to be done on the streets of Alpena
This work, if rightly done, would be per-
manent improvement, and he did not be-
lievc it good policy to put all the cost of
these permanent improvements on the pres
ent taxpayers. Citizens, in the future
would derive benefit from these perma-
nent improvements, and they ought to bear
a proportion of the expense, and he favor
ed issuing bonds for making such perma-
nent improvements, and the cost could thus
be spread over several years, n little each
year, and not all at once, as it was too bur-
densome. As regarded the stone crusher
he favored testing it and placing the stone
on one of the streets for distance of about
block, and then by next year they would
have practical illustration of whether
it was of any use. If it proved servicable,
then next year the Council could proceed
with the work of stoning the streets.
Alderman Lynch objected to any very
heavy expenses being incurred now in test
ing the stone on the streets, as the amount
Of funds on hand would not permit it, and
he did not believe in overdrawing on the
appropriations.
1t was finally decided that the stone
crusher should be set up on the road be-
tween the lime kilns of Fox and Phelps,
and small portion of one of the streets is
to be covered with the crushed stone, as an
experiment. The street committee are to
locate the street on which the stone is to
be placed

ONE TERM FOR PRESIDENT.

We proudly call ours a government
by the people. 1t is not such when a
class is tolerated which arrogates to
itself the arrangements of pubSc af-
fairs, seeking to control the people in
stead of representing them. Parties
are the necessary outgrowth Of our
institutions; but a government not by
the people when one party fastens its
control upon the country and perpet-
yates its power by cajoling and be-
traying the people instead of serving
them government not by the peo-
pie, when q result which should re-
present the intelligent will of free
and thinking men is or can be deter
mined by the shameless betrayal of
their suffrages. When an election to
Office shall be the selection by the
voters Of one Of their number, to as
sumo for time public trust instead
Of his dedication to the profession Of
politics when the holders of the bal
lot, quickened by n sense of duty,
shall avenge truth betrayed and
pledges broken, and when the suffrage
shall be altogether free and uncorrupt-
ed, the full realization of govern
ment by the people will be at hand.
And Of the means to this end, not
one would, in my judgment, be more
effective than an amendment to the
Constitution disqualifying the Presi-
dent from reelection. When we con-
slider the patronage Of this great Of
fee, the allurements Of power, the
temptation to retain public place once
gained, and more than all, the avail
ability a party finds in an incumbent
whom q horde Of ofliceholders with q
zeal born Of benefits received, and
fostered by the hope of favors yet to
come, stand ready to aid with money
and trained political service, we rec
ognize in the eligibility of the Presi-
dent for reelection most serious
danger to that calm, deliberate and
intelligent political action which must
characterize a government by the peo-

Grover Cleveland's Letter of Accept
ance.

GENTLEMEN.-I have received your
communication dated July 2S, 1884,
informing me of my nomination to
the office of President of the United
States by the National Democratic
Convention, lately assembled ut Chi
cago. | accept the nomination with
grateful appreciation of the supreme
honor conferred and a solemn sense
of the responsibility which, in its ac-
ceptance, | assume.
CORDIALLY APPROVES THE PLAT
FORM.
Ihave carefully considered the plat
form adopted by the convention, and
cordially approve the same. So plain
n statement Of Democratic faith and
the principles upon which that party
appeals to the suiirages Of the people,
needs no supplement or explanation.
1t should be remembered that the of
flee of President is essentially eXecu-
tive in its nature. The laws enacted
by the legislative branch Of the gov
eminent the Chief Executive is bound
faithfully to enforce, and when the
wisdom of the political party which
selects one of its members as a NOM
inee for that office has outlined its
policy and declared its principles, it
seems that nothing in the character
of the office or the necessities Of the
case, requires more from the candi-
date accepting such nomination than
the suggestion Of certain well-known
truths, so absolutely vital to the safe
ty and welfare Of the nation that they
cannot be too often recalled or too
seriously enforced.
