The true northerner., 1886-11-04
Interesting 10 Democrats.

Emmet /. Northrop, candidate for register
of deeds on the fusion ticket, has always
| been a consistent democrat The same
cannot be said of his opponent: he was new
er consistent democrat nor is he now a
consistent epublican.-AdCdnce. Evidently
the republicans of the county thought Mr..
Monroe good enough republican for them.
| They elected him by a handsome majority,
and he ran best where he was best known.
Sherwood's election is a foregone conclu-
sion; the only question now is the amount
of his majority.-COurter, Oct. 27M. Not
much of IA prophecy, Bro. Courier, was it? 1t
takes long minus sign to represent Mr..
Sherwood's majority. The buttonhole cam
| paign didn't win.
Wonder if o. w. Rowland will accompany
Burrows on his voyage up Salt River? He
certainly will unless he loses the scent before
next Tuesday night.-C0urier, Oct. 27h.
We have concluded that we have no cali to
| take the trip.
In next weeks issue of the C0uTiey, we
hope and honestly believe, we shall be able
to announce the election of every officer on
the union state ticket, and also the ignomin-
ious defeat of julius Cesar Burrows for con
gress.-C0urier, oct. 27H. We sympathize
with our honored contemporary in its bitter
disappointment.
Mr.. Sherwood is gaming ground every day,
ana he IS bound To represent IN the next
congress, the people OF the eth congressional
district OF Michigan.-COErter, oct. 21H.
Where in the world would he have gone il he
had been losing, instead of gaining ground?
The republicans begin TO realize that they
are lighting a losing battie IN Michigan.-
! Pac PGlC Ueruld, Oct. 29M. is that so?
Well, well, if they fight few more such bat
! ties 1t Will soon be true that "anybCdy can
carry Michigan'-on the republican ticket.
Inc NoRTHERNER, in its last week issue,
| speaks of the Lawrence convention, demo
cratic and greenback) as the " undertakers.
! The astute editor of that enterprising( =
| sheet is entitled 10 credit for once in clubbing
| tue above parties as "undertakers," and these
same parties will, this fall, perform with
| pleasure and in satisfactory manner, the
/ funeral obsequies of the party whose cause
the NoRTHERNER endeavOrs to champion.
| Furthermore, the laboring men throughout
the state are interested III this funeral, and
will assist, by their ballots and influence, III
"laying out" the party in Michigan this fall,
thai boasts OF its moneyed Michigan Club,
and which is the recognized champion OF
onopolies.-COtricr, dug. 25H We were
present at that funeral, but there was no re-
/ puDllCdu corpse Inc TC publlCdliS COuCluOCu
10 themselves act as 'undertakers''
1t is conceded in the state that it will
only be by desperate effort that they-the
republicans-can come anywhere near
carrying the fourth district-Dotr0d Free
Press. Mr. Burrows magnificent vote places
the Free Press low down in the ranks of
false prophets.
We see that Chandler has abandoned the
idea of moving TO Paw Paw He will move
on his farm near Hartford. We congratulate
Mr.. Chandler for this one display of good
judgment. We take it that he has abandoned
all hope of an election this fail. and will
settle down on his farm.-COuFier, oct. 9th
Much as Mr.. Chandler would like to have
pleased the Courier, he has concluded TO dc
the prosecuting business of Van Buren,
County for the next two years. He feels
grateful, however, To- the Courier for its able
assistance.
Mr.. Alger was elected by a plurality OF
only 1868, and was made governor, though
he received 9,l27 votes less than majority
of all the votes cast. Since then, the demo.
Gratis have come into National power. and
the prohibitionists have grown rapidly. How
then can the republicans hope to win? They
cannot win.-IHo CeHter, oct. 2Sh. But
they got there just the same, Center dear, by
a handsome plurality. Your desire for thC
success OF the democratic party must have
warped your judgment.
