EDITOR TrMEs:-As you have
opened your columns to Rev. G. H.
Wilson, please give the following in
as prominent place as you gave his
communication" in your issue of last
week, which l do not care to notice
except to say that did not "blunder"
as he asserts, and that his assertion
that / pronounced his first commun-
ication, SUBSTANTIALLY correct is not
founded upon facts. His question to
me after l had given his copy hasty
glance, was: "Isn't that ab0W as the
conversation took place between us. 1"
My response, which was not given as
an endorsement in any sense, was:
"Perhaps it is ab0uf what was said"
No other words passed between us
except his request when he came in
to have it published. That he con-
strues into an endorsement as substan-
TALLY correct The following was
given in The American last week:
To the Public.
AS the communication of Rev. Geo.
III. Wilson, published in The American
and TIMES last week, is somewhat mis-
leading as to facts it requires brief
notice. The communication was received
and published in The American by re.
quest of Mr.. Wilson, without comment,
conveying the impression to some people
that it was accepted by the editor Of The
American as a substantially true state.
ment
AS chairman of the committee of
arrangements for Decoration Day, met
MIR. Wilson and asked him, in Language
that he fully understood at the time,
whether it would be agreeable to him as
pastor and his church society for Quacken-
bush Post to attend memorial service on
Sunday morning, May 30, in conformity
to rules of the order, at the same time in
forming him that the Post wished to at.
tend service at his church, and that was
a member of the committee on arrange
ments. Mr.. Wilson informed me very
plainly that such an arrangement could
not be made.
Comrade G. s. Gilbert, member of the
committee, at my request, also called on
Mr.. Wilson and informing him that he
was member of the committee, said to
him: "Will it be convenient for our Post
to attend your church In body on Sunday
morning, May 30, for memorial services. u
This Is given as correction Of the
following paragraphs of Mr.. Wilson's
communication:
First, was not asked to preach before
the Post and therefore did not refuse.
Second, The substance of conversatio n
at separate periods with two members of a
committee Of the Post on that point, was
this: an invitation from me to the the Post
to attend services Sunday morning. May
S0th, would be entertained, and probably
accepted" GEO. w. OWEN.

s. s. Association.

The Shawassee county S. S Asso.
citation held its semi annual meeting
at Shaflsburg this week Tuesday and
Wednesday, as announced in The
TINES, last week. The meeting was
in every sense grand success. The
attendance was large. We were told
by several that Shaftsburg never gath
cred so many people together at one
time before.
A somewhat new phase Of the
meeting was the introduction of a
sort of institute method. The papers
were few, clear, deep. The discus
sions were varied, animated and
profitable. 1t would be difficult to
select from the papers read or pre-
pared addresses made, as all were the
result of deep and devout thought.
This association has risen in the
county till it unquestionably holds
to-day one of the foremost places as
teacher of teachers, source of in,
spiration to the directors of S. S.
work in all the county. One feature
of the convention was the picnic
dinner, which often occurs at town.
ship meetings, but which few places
have courage TO try with a county
meeting. 1t was success. The noon
recess was therefore given up to cheer
iul, social recreation, and acquaint-
ances were formed to be remembered
for years. 1t often seems to us that
if the f1ippant no-thought Of the day
which is wont TO sheer at ). S. work
as child's play, could have listened to
earnest men and women as they went
down beneath the surface of thought
and its essential laws and forms, they
would feel that Shiawassee county
has body OF students and thinkers
who are destined to raise its tone and
touch its life toward mightier results.
The association will hold its autumn
meeting in Owosso, and we can I'M
hesitatingly say that even to Owosso
its coming means big thing
Sorry we cannot review the papers.
They would make capital articles for
our first magazines.

The pioneer meeting Of the 4th was
well attended, and proved a very en-
joyable occasion to all who were so
fortunate as 10 be present. The adj
dresses by DIR. Parkill. the Rev. Geo.
III. Wilson and Elder Mcleod were
all timely and good, as was also the
reading by Mrs. Barnes and Miss Nc
Arthur. The elocution of the latter
was especially fine. A pleasant feature
of the program was the singing of the
choir, dressed in old time costumes.
The Woodruff martial band furnished
the music, flies and drums, the kind
of music that inspired our ancestors
to deeds of loyalty and heroism. AL
together it was pleasant gathering,
and we hope to live to attend many
more such meetings in future.

The Republican anti-saloon confer
ence was held in Trenton, N. J., on
May a6th. Speaker Armstrong, Of
the House OF Representatives, was
elected President. The address
agreed upon by the Committee on
Resolutions to members Of the Re-
publican Party of New Jersey, en-
bodies the principle of Local Option.
The address states that all question
relating to legislation or constitution
provision, for the governing, restrict
ing or suppressing of the sale of in
toxicating drinks should, whenever
the popular voice demands it, be sub
mitted to the popular vote, and the
people of each state or community
should determine for themselves
whether they will permit the sale of
intoxicating liquors. That is neither
wise, practical, nor necessary to insist
that legislation on this subject shall
be restricted to the total prohibition
of the liquor traffic. That all sincere
Republicans should stand on this
broad platform. That the Republican
party does not need the help of, or
any alliance with, the liquor saloon 10
give it either character, strength, or
success. That the country does need
the powerful aid of the Republican
party in overcoming this evil. Such
convention, attended by the live
Republicans of Michigan, and the
adoption of platform which should
embody the principle of the New Jer-
sey temperance Republicans, would in
the opinion Of The TINES, add many
thousand to the Republican majority
next November and insure success in
more than one closely contested Con-
gressional district.

There is no authority for the
assumption of The Center and other
third party organs that Cyrus G..
Luce is a candidate for the Republi
can nomination for Governor. On
the contrary Mr.. Luce says that he is
not a candidate, and it is little out
rageous for such fellows as Rev.
Frank B. Cressy TO be charging him
with being doubled faced. We wish
Mr.. Luce was a candidate, because
his life attests his fitness for the
place, and the people appreciate that,
and hence detest the Center's efforts
to prove him a trickster. Mr.. Luce
had only to say so and he wosld have
been nominated by reclamation, and
he knew that fact and knew that a
nomination was equivalent to an
election, and yet, he said no. Does
any sane man believe after that, that
he went to Detroit and sold out his

he is, the Rev. Frank B. Cressy ought

The Progressive DemocracY.

So far rs there is anything in a
name, the Star highly approves of
"Progressive Democracy" as au APP
pellation for the new party repre-
sented by the $1,000 votes Tor Mr..
George
1t is not too high sounding; it
avoids the class distinction that the
word Labor" implied, since all hcu-
est Americans are IN reality workers
in one direction or another; and,
above all, it holds fast to. the old
name that jackson and Jefferson
were proud to serve under-a name
that is alone descriptive of a govern
ment for the people, by the people,
that is again supreme in the coun-
try, and is surely if slowly fulfilling
the pledges which true Democra-
cy made, and correcting the abuses
which true Democracy deplores.
We believe that in paying this
compliment TO the old standard Mr..
George and his followers intimate a
decided prediction for the old
corps. II they feel impelled to or
ganize for the present into seper-
ate company, they retain enough of
the old uniform and accouterments
to mark their origin and maintain
their congruity. If the Democratic
leaders are alive to the emergency
and reconstruct their own commands
somewhat, they can make it extreme
ly difficult for the Progressive Dem
ocrats to realize that they are diff
ferent from or explain their i'm
proyements upon their old associ-
ates. The old order and the new
viii naturally fraternize against the
common enemy-the party ofmono-
poly, heavy taxation and high tsrif.
Long before the delegates to the
constitutional convention are elect
ed we shall expect to see some differ
ences healed, some agreements made,
some reforms mapped out, some rem
edies applied, some common inter
ests, purposes and principles ANAL
gamated, that will have practically
effaced the contrarieties of the hour,
and will send to the convention a
solid delegation Of democrats with
out any qualifying adjectives, whose
sole object it shall be to use the ma
chinery of the convention and make
the most of its opportunities for the
general glory of the party and the
benefit of the people.
To that good end the Star invites
