Democratic State Convention.
For Governor.

The name of Hon. James ID. Turn
bull is mentioned by some of the
Democrats of this county as the pos
sible candidate on the Democratic
ticket for the office of governor, and
was last week brought out publicly by
the Journal. Whether Mr.. Turnbull
would allow his name to be used for
that Office, we know not; but there is
one thing certain, and that is, it is
about time the southern portion Of the
State should have some consideration
for the northern part. In the past,
about all the candidates for State Of
fees have been selected with but very
little regard for the the party and its
adherents in northern Michigan, and
no fault has been found. But this
year, if the party desires to make a
strong pull, and pull all together,
lin the direction of victory, it will be
wise to take into consideration the
fact that il the candidates for the va
rious State offices are selected from
different sections-that is, well dis
|tributed about the State, as to locali-
ty-the ticket will naturally have
greater strength.
That northern Michigan contains
men of ability, capable of administer
ing the duties pertaining to State of
|fces, no one can deny, and it may be
borne in mind that Alpena can pro-
|duce as good, sound men for Office as
any other city in the State. Should
|Mr. Turnbull be so fortunate as to re-
|ceive the nomination for governor, he
would poll strong vote in Alpena
and adjoining counties, certain.

They wait on the tables, help to wash
the dishes and make some money
backing the boots of the company.
They are well pleased with their trip.
There is considerable fun in the
camp at nights. Music, singing, sky

Some of the boys take evening cx-

son who imbibes much, to undress in.

State Encampment.- Camp Alger.

lnurSuay, July 10.
"The Arundel will be in by two
o'clock in the morning, and the COM
pany will assemble at the Armory at
eleven" were the orders.
At the Armory on the night of the
embarkation there was n lively and
somewhat warlike scene. The soldiers
were busily packing their kits and
getting ready for the journey.
There was every prospect of u dis
agreeable trip. Theweather had been
stormy all day and heavy sea was
running at large on the lake. The
steamer Alpena came in about eleven
o'clock, and her sea sick passengers
reported things disagreeable outside.
Very few of the Guards expected to
get much, if any, sleep on the trip
down, and were prepared to make the
best of the situation, and do full JUS
tice to the soft spots on the cabin
floor. Then the Arundel has a rep
ntation for being somewhat risky in
heavy sea, and said to be well vers-
I'D in marine gymnastics. Visions of
The discomfort of being danced about
by heavy seas, were conjured by the
mind, and there was a good prospect
bf many Alpena suppers being cast
10 the little fishes.
The fire company was giving hop
a the Opera House, and some of the
Guards passed the tedious hours of
waiting with dancing. Others tried
o get little sleep on the benches in
he Armory, but did not succeed, as
10 sleep had been engaged for the &C.
Fasion. Contrary to expectations the
Arundell arrived promptly, notwith-
landing the storm. She had been
Unable to land at Oscoda and Har-
isville, and her passengers for those
|laces were given free ride to AL
pena. They also made the number
e empty berths much less.
The call to arms was imperative.
The State encampment must proceed,
en- or no sea, and the Guards had to
e there to assist the 9rd regiment to
Fin the honors, so the order was given
b fall in, about 2 o'clock Wednes-
ay morning, and then the company,
eaded by their drum corps, marched
o the boat, numbering some sixty
nen. Soon all was in readiness, the
ines were cast of, farewell shouts
Tere exchanged with the many cit
kens on the wharf, and then the
Arundell headed for Bay City, pass
bg the light house at 2:10 AN.
What spare berths there were on
he steamer, were soon allotted, but as
here were more Guards than empty
erths, many of the Guards had to be
ontent with lounge or the soft side
f the carpet. The cabin floor was
on6scated, and with knapsacks for
flows, enough Guards we're soon
pread ever the floor to cover it.
ONE who did not care to sleep pass
4 the few remaining hours Of night
the intellectual amusement known
seven up, or studying the mys-
bries of penny ante,-a game some
mes played at Alpena.
During the whole trip there was no
'wdyism, and good order was the
lie. Even those who had to be con-
nted with the floor, made the best Of
Ieir condition cheerfdlly.
