Struggle with their weighty hypstheses.
They may listen 10 their expositions OF
various subjects both with pleasure and

a change. They will want more lively

or religious ones with Adam Clark or
the first Christian fathers; or delye into

want to break away from such authors
AZ times, and listen to the pleasant tales
of Washington Irving; hear the half
weird legends OF Scotland as sung or
related by Scott; OF wander out in the
spring time, summer or autumn with
Thompson, or read the adventure Of
Tam O'Shanter with Burns, or laugh
with Dickens at the dilemmas Of the I'M

THE WORD OF a LIAR.

Ten years ago, a statement made by
B. II. BnsVOg, one Of the most honest
and CONSCIENTIOUS secretaries who ever
presided over the national treasury,
was read ia the United States Senate,
showing the balances due to the gov
eminent from officials and e~xOficieIs
Of the Federal government. In the list
of deIiuquents appeared the name of
John r. Mcbride, who was charged
with being in arrvars to the govern
ment S3,923.S5; Mcbride had been for
a short time IN 1s7I-2 superintendent
Of the assay Office at Boise City, IdahoS
an magnificent position in itseIf, but
one which could be made profitable by
a thrifty occupant -FOUR years after
Mcbride was turned out Of tie office
the charge for delinquency stood
against him on the treasury books,
and for Al we know, it may. bethere
to-day. The only evidence We
have that it is not there is
the word Of Mcbride himself.
and the word of a man VINO has been
published as a foul and malicious liar
is not tie kind Of testimony that would
be taken in a court of justice, nor by
the public. This same foul-mouthed
Mcbride is at present citizen Of Salt
Lake, where he sets himself up as a
lawyer, and deFobes a good deal of his
time to slsndering the people among
whom he lives, and Safeguarding and
lying about mis- betsers. The community

Mcbride evidently imagines all the

what right this man Mcbride has

pretty well demonstrated during

The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-09-23

Mr.. YApLE in his opening speech of the
campaign at Detroit, planted himself squarely
on the ultra free-trade platform. 1t was
free-trade that killed him in the fourth dis
trict and it will do the same in the state. he
said he didn't believe the farmers of Michi-
gan wanted a tariff on their wool. One
would think from reading Mr.. YAPLE's speech
that our farmers were actually longing and
languishing for free wool, even though il
should send their las. flock to the slaughter
pen, as it certainly would. Mr.. XAPLE will
find that he can't pull free wool over the eyes
of the intelligent agriculturists of Michigan
to any great extent.

q good one, and his denomination proves

CIRCUIT COURT COMMISSIONERS.
JOHN /. BREcK, the first nominee, is fine
representative Of young republicanism. A
graduate from the Agricultural College at
Lansing, and from the law department of
the Michigan University, recently admitted
to the practice of the law after passing an
unusually brilliant examination, he is fitted,
in an eminent degree, to perform the respon-
sible duties of the Office for which he has
been nominated. John is great favorite
among the boys-to say nothing of the girls,
who, unfortunately, can't vote-and will re-
ceive hearty support from them as well as
from the republicans of the county in gen.
eral.
SAMUEL HOLMES, the other nominee, is
already serving his first term as commission
er, and has had large experience in public bust
ness, not only in his present Office, but as
county clerk for four years and as county
superintendent of poor. His we'll known
ability az a penman and as a business man
give him a peculiar adaptation for the duties
of the office of circuit court commissioner,
and entitle him to the support he will GER
tainly receive.
SURVEYOR.
ALBERT A. FosDIcK, the gentleman who
has been renominated for the responsible
Office of county surveyor, has, in past years,
demonstrated his fitness for that position
and shown himself to be one of the. most
accomplished surveyors within the limits of
our county. No better man could have been
chosen for this Office.
CoRoNERs.
CHARLES DUNCoMBE of Keller, and ALVIN
CHAPMAN of Arlington, two representative
men, are either of them qualified to perform
the not very arduous, but sometimes very
important duties of the office of coroner.
which are to act as sheriff in case where that
officer may be disqualified to act. They are
both too we'll known to the people of Van
Buren, County to require any introduction at
the hands of the press.
II is needless to add that no better set of
men will be presented by any party for the
suffrages of our citizens, and though our
fusion friends may designate it "weak tick
et," they know thatit isa an exceptionally strong
one and that there is little doubt of its tri-
umphant election.
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-09-23

IN its report of the fusion convention, the
Paw Paw Herald omits the name of Z. j
DuLMAN, the nominee for county clerk, and
changes places with KILLFER and Cook
locating the former in the first and the latter
in the second district. The Free Press ana
Courier gives notice of prohibition conven-
ton for the t,oe!fh senatorial district, to be
held at Bloomingdale. 1t is, evidently, very
difficult to keep track of such mixed politics
The true northerner. [volume] (Paw Paw, Mich.) 1855-1920, 1886-09-23

REPUBLICANS should bear in mind that the
next legislature of this state will elect a
United States senator. The opposition will
make desperate efforts to obtain control of
that body, and will be ready to make any
kind of trade for votes for senator or rep
resentatiye. Let no republican voter allow
himself to be beguiled in this direction. No
such exchange of votes should be made, no
feeling of personal friendship on the one
hand or of personal dislike on the other
should induce any republican to vote for any
legislative candidate of either of the opposi-
ton parties. The political complexion of
the next U. s. senate may depend upon the
loss or gain of single member of the next
legislature of Michigan, and the status of the
next senate may possibly determine whether
or not the National government shall pass
wholly under democ ratio control. 1t needs
but glance to convince any republican how
important II is that the election of no repub-
lican nominee for senator or representative
in the next Legislature should be in anywise
endangered or jeopardized.

MIR. KILLIFER declined the fusion nomina.
ton for senator, but was prevailed upon
against his better judgment, to accept the
nomination for representative. AS we have
before stated, he is a man of unblemished
character, and so is his republican competi-
tor, Hon. JOHN S. Cross of Bangor. Mr.
K1r1rFER is democrat, and the voters of
that representative district declared, two
years since, by plurality of 7s6 votes. that
they wanted republican representative
They will not be at all likely to reverse
that verdict this year. Mr.. Cross gave full
and entire satisfaction as member Of the

nomination and will, without doubt, be still
further honored 10y triumphant reelection
