CHANCE FOR The DEMOCRAT
A Deep-felt Want Which Our Contem-
porarY Might Fill.

From the Detroit Po-t>
As 1t is now evident that Mr.. Moses W.
Field cannot induce the Detroit organ OF the
party upon whose ticket he II named for
regent 10 commit the ind.-cretion of saying
80 much a. a single word IN favor of his
election. or even 20 indorse his reputation
and character, and as the day of election is
rapidly approaching, and no avOwedly Dem
ocratic party journal in the State has ven
tured To undertake the job which the Free
Press declines some of that superintendent
capital which 10 was fOoiiShly reported Mr..
Field proposed to sqnander in libel suit
against the f0Sf should be instantly devoted
% hiring an organ, even If II should prove
nee, s-ary - pay more than the usual adyer-
tisiug rates. There ore undoubtedly Demo
cratic journals IN the state which can be
employed. of course prOpOrtiOnIng their
rates To the disaaTeeableneSs and difficulty
of the work; and If the Democratic party
significantly declines TO furnish one. the
candidate should not permit the ticket TO 90
undefended To certain defeat for want of a
little personal sacrifice and enterprise Such
an investment, Of course could not save Mr..
Field. bat IL might greatly help some Impo-
cuniOus Democratic jOurn al, and purchase
for the donor az least a little Democratic re-
gard ia the state.
