The through pouch from the east, con-
tanning large and valuable mail to Ann
Arbor, was found on the bank of the river
north of the Michigan Central depot at 10
O'Clock on the morning Of June "a, cut open
and rifled of all the contents of available
value. The pouch, which is made up at
Detroit, containing only the mail to Ann
Arbor from New York and eastern points,

to leave it until morning, who says it was

No evidence that the baggage-room locks

the pouch was overlooked and left outside,
where it was found and carried off by
tramps. The. plundered mail was
found heaped together in a cow

Duffy has notified the chief special agent
at Detroit, and has taken immediate and
energetic measures for apprehension apd
detection of the robbers by searching all
the vacant houses and sheds about the de-
pot, but without success.
Postmaster Duffy confirms the report
that a clue has been found to the mail
robber. He is very reticent about the at
fair, but seems confident that the clue is a
substantial one. He received a telegram
from Acting Chief Inspector Maynard OF
Washington, directing him to communi-

clerks ready for Identification. Between
three and four thousand dollars in checks

opened. Careful inspection of the rihed
mail matter goes to show the robbery ia

robbery seems to have been planned, as

The Old Man Still Talking.

Mr.. Gladstone addressed the electors of
Liverpool June %. He was received with
boundless enthusiasm. The circus was
crowded TO its utmost capacity, 5000 per-
sons being present.
Mr.. Gladstone said the enthusiasm in
favor Of home rule surpassed anything he
had witnessed during his life. Despite the
long purses of his opponents he looked for
ward to the result of the elections with
confidence 1t was true that he denounced
the Nationalist in 1881, but it was because
he thought they were in the wrong He
supported them now because he thought
and knew they were in the right. He now
proposed to give statutory parliament
to Ireland to deal exclusively with Irish
affairs.
The Irish allegiance which his opponents
! thought would be broken down was given
grudgingly and half heartedly. Ulster
was not refused privileges granted else
where. They would listen to any sugges-
tions on behalf of Ulster. The land pur-
chase project did not mean the taking the
taxpayers money. 1t was no more than
an Investment, otherwise he would not be
party to the scheme. He denied that the
home rule and land purchase bills were in
separable.
Home rule was a question of class
against the masses. The liberal party was
not supported by the mobiles and grandees
of England. The anti-liberals came from
high privileged professions, but the liber-
legal and medical professions which were
now open. In all questions where
men, Justice, and humanity were
concerned it was shown that the
masses were right and the classes wrong.
If one-half of Lord Churchill's qualities
could be cut out he might make valuable
and distinguished public servant. Church
i'll admitted the people never erred. Par
lament would remain puzzled unless some
measure OF justice were passed. In this
struggle Ireland was backed by vast ma
jority of the English people. The measure
proposed would promote the growth of
1reland's prosperity. He hoped to govern
Ireland by love, not force.
The Rev. Henry Ward Beecher was on
the platform while Mr.. Gladstone was
speaking.

Judge
Our Coming Candidate.

Under the above heading the Washing
ton Cd. c. Chronicle, well known for its
ability and leadership under its former ed
itor, Hon. John w. Forney, and still a
leading influential paper at the East, saws
The Republican party went to the shores
of the Atlantic for its last Presidential cam
didate. Defeat followed Brilliant Blaine
passed through terrible ordeal. The
grand old party that had triumphed in
1860, 1864, 1868, 1872 and 1880 fought the
multitude of charges made against Blaine
with gallantry never surpassed. But,
Just as the shout of victory swelled the
Republican throat, the chilling blast of de-
feat came, and the party that had controlled
the country for a quarter of a century
folded IFS banners and silently withdrew
from power.
The four years the Republican party is
without the responsibility of power will be
four years of reorganization and recupera-
ton. In the campaign two years hence it
will march forward in solid phalanx and
robust vigor, to win, if wisdom guides its
counsels. Old feuds must be laid aside.
New leaders must come up fresh from the
people. The country can now turn to the
shores of the Pacific and find a name of
towering strength-that of Hon. Leland
Stanford. In Senator Stanford we have
man of practical and successful life; a man
of wonderful industry. not a theorist or
word-painter but great-minded man of
sterling practicalness. He has built great
iron pathways for the public veal, and
thereby has aided immensely in the on
ward tide of development of the Pacific
slope. The Pacific States would be wild
with joy over the nomination by the next
Republican National Convention of Leland
Stanford for President Senator Stanford
is scholarly gentleman and a statesman
in the broadest sense of the term. The Re-
publicans will be wise and discreet if thew
go to the shores of the Pacific for their
next candidate. Such nomination would
send to oblivion all the bitter pickering of
the East that resulted in beating Blaine
Hurrah for Leland Stanford
