We clip the following article from
the Osceoia Outline. which Is applicable
to few parties In this locality. The
only questions to be considered previ-
oas to voting. Is; are the candidates
honest. capable. and genuine republi-
cans. IL so. they should receive the
entire vote Of the party, without any
regard to personal matters as they are
the representatives of the principles Of
the party, and their defeat Is consider
ed detriment to its success in the fu-
ture:
''For the second time the republic
can candidate for supervisor has been
defeated by faotional fight In Reed
City, aud he will probably be made the
victim of these factions until the dem
ocrats have a majority in the township
a result which such chickering's will
eventually lead TO. 1t would be n
tgreat deal the wiser course to stand by
the nominations that are made in reg
ular caucus, or else don't mix politics
In these township matters ut all. The
republican voters who do not live in
Reed City are getting tired of these To-
cal factional rackets. and 1t is about
time to cry halt as we are on the eve
OF general campaign. Richmond
township is soundly republican, and
whenever it goes any other way il will
require no great wisdom to fasten the
blame on the right locality Gentle
men. keep your local village squabbles
out of republican township and coun-
ty politics They have no place there. {"
For Richmond read Grayling and
make the application. The country is
suffering now from the mugwumpery
of few disgruntled republicans who
bolted the ticket at the last general
election. and who have been kicking
themselves for their folly ever since.
We should have thought that the eff
feet of their efforts of year ago would
have learned them lesson, but there
are some persons so egotistic that ex-
perience even cannot learn them any
thing.

The great southwestern railroad
strike promises to 20 upon record as
one of the most unfortunate that the
workingmen Of this country ever en-
gagged in. 1t Is now gradually dwin-
ding down to small end. The strik-
era are returning 10 work. trains are
being moved to about the same extent
as before the trouble. and the forcibie
public condemnation OF violence Is a
guarantee TINT there will not soon be a
repetition OF the Fort Worth affair.
While the railroad company have suf-
fered heavily, the strike has given
them an opportunity and excuse for
making a large reduction ia their work
ing force. But 10000 men or more
have lost several weeks wages, and
many of them will lose their places al
together They have gained nothing
for themselves, nor the organization
through whose power victory was ex-
pected. The knights of labor will not
come through this contest any strong
err; but there is lesson to be learned
from the outcome of the unfortunate
affair. Let the knights, in future,
listen to the words of wisdom which
come from their cautious. shrewd and
clear-headed leader. To have follow
ed Mr.. Powderly's counsel would have
saved them this serious loss and deep
humiliation. -Det. Meas.

Mr.. Reagan, of Texas, sometime
Postmaster General of the defunct
Confederate States, now member of
the United States House of Reprcsen-
tativcs, has twice objected to the con-
sideration OF resolution to investi-
gate the Internal butchery at Carroll

is unconstitutional for Congress to do
so. Your red-handed ex-rebel Is noted
for his reverence for the constitution.

The Paw Paw True Republican,
says: 1T matters not what path the
republican straggler may take, they all
end at the same point. All roads ont
of the republican camp lead into the
camp Of the democracy. The dissatis-
fled republican, although he may dis
like democracy never 80 ardcntly, will,
should he follow any of these outgo-
ing tracks, find himself landed in the
ranks of the demooatio party. He
may take the greenbaek road, the
mugwump road, or even the prohibit
tion road, the result win be the same"
This has proven to be the case in
GraylIug. and in several instances.
We give case In point: One of our
prominent citizens when he landed in
Grayling, two years ago was republi-
can. He had advanced ideas on the
subject of temperance and joined the
prohibition party. Now he is a full
blown democrat aud is reported to be
everything but proljbitionist. -
