he had much to do with the political
revolution in Northern Michigan.
Mr.. Wachtel has been an unsclfsh
politician. AT the State Convention
his friends desired that he should have
the nomination for Auditor-General,
but when the friends of Colonel judi
son S. Farrar brought forward his
name for that position, Mr.. Wachtel
commanded his friends to withdraw
his name in favor of the gallant old
soldier. That was the second time
inside of three months that he had
discarded his own interests, and step
ped one side to give place to veter-
an soldier; he withdrew from the
postoffice candidacy in favor of Col
onel Isaac ID. Toll, veteran of the
Mexican war. Ii is such political
habits as these that have laid deep the
foundations of his popularity in

The Next Secretary of State.

Phillip B. Wachtel, of Petoskey,
the candidate for Secretary Of State,
on the Fusion ticket, is young man,
but he is pioneer of the Emmett
neck of the woods. He settled in
Petoskey when it was but a small
clearing in the almost impenetrable
forest that surrounded Little Traverse
Bay; but not discouraged by the des-
olate appearance of the place, he de-
cided to cast his lot with the embryo
village, and from that time on, no
improvements of any Importance
have been made; no public enter
prise undertaken; no educational or
religious institution erected, without
receiving the aid, the influence or in
dorsement of Mr.. Wachtcl. Hc was
the pioneer of Democracy in a coun-
ty now reliably anti-Rcpublican, and

Enclosed please find S1.00 for the

Last Thursday we held our
annual meeting and first ami
versary. No time just now but will
send you some notice for the FREE
MAN. Thanks for the Program of
Convention.
We have been trying to get
organizations at Fairview, Holli-
days Cove and Elm Grove. I
wrote to Mrs. Dr. Storer and
sent her some leaflets, How to
organize, &c. x x She and the
Presbyterian minister's wife expect
to come to our Convention to learn
something Of the work.
Want of time seems to be the only
thing in their way. [ trust the
Lord will make the way clear to
them. [ know the ladies well
enough to be sure a Union there
would do effective work. They are
active, earnest workers.
We will EJECT delegates to the
Convention on Thursday and send
names to Miss Duval. Would it not
be well for US to arrange for the
place of meeting of District Con-
vention while at the State Con-
vention.
Yours sincerely,

other ways of lending their infu-

"But the kind ladies who COM
pose that organization determined
that if we must be deprived of the
intellectual portion of their enter
tainment, we should at least have
a chance to take in" the more ma
terlal features, and SO sent US a
bountitul supply of the good things
they had provided for the occasion
sandwiches, cake, coffee, &c.

No Vacation.

DEAR UNION SIGNAL AS vaca-
ton months are so near, I thought
it would be well to agitate sub
iect that l consider of great impor-
lance in our work. In many
places our unions have been accus-
toned to taking vacation some
time during the summer months,
as they claim the interest cannot
be kept up when SO many members
are absent; thus many Of our work
shops are closed for several weeks.
But not so with those of our enc
mics. They keep grinding away
day and night, week in and week
out, and no vacation in their bust
ness. Should we not make a siren
uous effort to keep up an interest
during the whole year? At no
time are all the workers absent,
and numbers are not always essen
tial to good meeting, but "where
two or three are gathered together
in My name, there am 1 in the
midst Of them" God will honor
our faithful efforts in His cause
and is it not just as imperative for
us to keep constantly and unceas-
ingly at work as for the churches
to keep up their Sabbath services,
their Sabbath schools and prayer
meetings? [ believe that these
ought we to have done and not to
have left the other undone."
When the last saloon in our land is
closed, and the temptation to evil
driven from our midst, then may
we sing our te deum1 and prepare for
an eternal rest in that land
Where everlasting spring abfdes,
Andneyer whitening flowers"
and "where the wicked cease from
troubling and the weary are at
rest" L. M. CARVER.
San Francisco, Cal, Apr. Is, 'S6.
The Union Signal will take no
vacation till the saloons do.-Un-
ION Signal,
Neither will the FREEMAN, and
surely no local Uuion can afford to.

A Delicious Token.

It is the w. G. T. U. editor that
is kindly remembered this time
and the delicious token is nothing
less than a splendid cake, richly
trimmed in harmony with its
richness throughout, all the handi-
work of our friends of the Cameron
Union. A note accompanying the
luscious gift bears the names OF
Mrs. linda Woodburn, Mrs. L. j.
Helms, Mrs. James McCusky, Mrs.
D. w. Mathews, Mrs. J. W.
Mathews, Mrs L. Lopez and Mrs.
W. H. Fry.
Thanks dear friends for this
expression of kindly regard, and
thanks to the good friends by the
way, Mr.. w. J. Robinson of the
Ohio River Railroad, and others,
through whose tavors the cake had
free transportation to this destina-
ton where hearty welcome await
ed it. Coming from the warm
hearts OF Cameron's busy worker
this expression of good will il
especially appreciated, and the
more so as we receive it mere as 6
gift for the works sake than fol-
the worker.

"When the Cats Away"

AS the w. G. T. U. editor is
away, and Mr.. Burt is not here to
forbid, we clip the following from
the Union Signal:
MANNINGToN.-Mrs. Caroline B..
Buell. visited our town last Novem-
Der, and organized a W. G. I. U.
From the time Of our organization
until now we have been struggling
for an existence, but of late we
have been greatly encouraged. Mrs.
J. A. Johnson, State President, paid
us visit and not only won
golden opinions and endeared her
self to us all, but infused new life
into our feeble organization. She
organized a Loyal Legion of forty
three mem bers.
Mr.. Frank Burt, the Tenn perance
apostle of this State, has laid US
under lasting obligations by pre-
senting US hall, nicely carpeted
and seated, free of rent, in which
to hold our meetings. Prohibition
is booming here. The day is COM
ing when West Virginia will be
freed from this foul curse of intem-
perance.

The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1886-06-09

Well, our w. c. 7. U. editor is
away at the front again; and here
we are over in her bailiwick. She
left, on Saturday to ell engage
ments at Roney's Point and other
points up the river.
If with the few notes she left
for this department, we jot down a
few additional and mix them in.
why just set down the sensible re-
marks to the W. G. T. U. editor,
and anything that should have
been left out, charge to US.
