The appointment of W. L. Bancroft as
collector of customs at Port Huron Is
sore disappointment to numerous other
applicants for the position and the vari-
oss factions in the Democratic party in
that district do not take to it kindly.
Cleveland finds it difficult task to
harmonizs matters in lbs party in

for every Office at his disposal that many
must needs be disappointed and almost
every important appointment he has
thus far made in the state has been
severely criticized by disappointed ap-

IN September, 1860, two young men
entered the Naval Academy at AnnapO-
lis, Nd, as cadets; one came from Mary
land, the other from Louisiana. The
one from Maryland remained true to his
country, graduated, joined vessel on
the blockade, and served through the
war. He is now commander on the
active list of the navy, and commands a
sloop of war which recently visited Aus
tralia and the Pacific Islands. The one
from Louisiana resigned early in 1861
and cast his fortunes with the Confeder-
acy, serving in both its army and navy.
He has recently been appointed Consul
General to Melbourne, Australia. Had
the sloop of war spoken of above made
her Australian cruise little later these
classmates would have met. The one
who remained loyal would have been
obliged TO receive the other on board his
vessel and given him q Consul Generals
salute. In the compensation Of these
two gentlemen there is q difference of
$1,000 in favor OF the Consul General.

IT is said that Chilli, threatens to aid
Ecuador IN resisting the demand of the
United States for the release of Santos.
and that the Chilian naval officers talk
of having picnic" with the American
wooden ships. This may be funny, but
since in such case cur Government
certainly could not hope to try eonclu-
siOns with the Chillian navy, 1t involves
awkward possibilities, AS matter Of
fact, Chilli can protect Ecuador against
the United States. at least for cOnsid-
cradle time, and tho state Of things is
not pleasant one for the Americans TO
contemplate. The question is, if EcUa-
dor thus backed, refuses to release San
tos, what are we going to do about it?

Mayor Harrison, through the various
chiefs of departments, to hand in a
written resignation. Similar action
was taken in one or two departments

made general. No special reason is as
signed except Mr.. Harrison's belief that
the Mayer should be free if he chose up

general handing in Of designations does
not necessarily imply that any or all of

SOME of the Democratic papers have
announced that Don Henderson, of the
Allegan Journal and Tribune had re-
nounced allegiance with the Republican

Don has long been shining light in
the Republican party, and such with
drawal from the ranks was hailed with
the greatest delight and Of course there
was great rejoicing in the Democratic
ranks, but their happiness was of short
duration as Don thus forcibly expresses
himself on the question:
We are proud to have belonged to tho
Grand Republican party; we were in it
at its birth and hslped to rock it in its
cradle and have stood by the noble pelit-
ical organization i'm defiant and vicforv
have seen no cause to regret that party's
work, or reason for us to change our
party relation much less to become a
modern sham Democrat or an unprinci-
pied, spoilHeeking political fusionist.
