glasses filled with liquids Of all imagina-
bic kinds, held high carnival, where cues
and balls, and hearts and clubs had oft
given away to diamond and spade, as
often dug a disastrous grave TO the In
lucky investor in the games of chance,
it will know them no more. The revo-
luton Is complete. The elephant will
hereafter represent the commercial trade
mark of one Of the best and most enter
prising business men. Mercantile pluck,
energy and business foresight have
changed the scene. A grand mart of a
contind ally increasing business is TO be
thrown open to the world instead. The
modification Of the establishment will
Re complete, and by Saturday morning
the White Elephant clothing store will
open its doors for business.
In exterior beauty and interior ar

any house devoted to the same business

bracing everything from the cheapest
garment up to the wedding suit, has
been secured by Mr.. Wolfson, and, on

they are in mammoth jobbing house.
The entire center of the main floor is
devoted TO clothing exclusively, includ-

Mr.. Henry G. Beokmann, aged 30 years,

Rural New-Yorker: The farmers
Of Michigan will have small business
to complain about politicians if they
neglect to elect Cyrus q. Luce this
fall. If they had secured the conn
try :hey could hardly have selected
one who more completely represents
the farm and farmer. What do you
propose to do about it, Michigan
farmers? Now that you have forced
one of the great parties TO select as
its standard bearer, man from your
own ranks, do you propose to elect
him or not? For years there has
been a cry that the farmer has been
neglected in politics, that he has been
a voter and nothing but voter. We
have listened long enough to the
sneering answer that the farmer
doesn't know enough to fill an office,
that lawyers and professional men
must take care Of him. Michigan
farmers have a chance to prove the
falsity Of this answer or to add to its
strength, just as they wish. Let us

Republicans, Be True.

There is quite feeling extant, and
among the many friends of some of
our candidates. that there is to be a
good deal of trading in some locali-
ties at the forthcoming election. We
do not know how much truth there is
in the rumors that are floating about,
but trust that there is not so much
danger as some seem to apprehend.
A TRUE Republican will not trade his
vote under any circumstances and no
candidate of the Republican party is
worthy Of single vote who will en-.
courage any such trading, nay more,
who does not emphatically condemn
il in season and out of season.
Candidates are simply the selected
representatives of the principles of
the party, not in any sense political
bosses, and to trade votes to gain per-
sonal advantage is treason to the
party, and is the most reprehensible
and dishonest practice that could pos.
sibly be engaged in by any candidate
for any position, and we shall be very
slow to believe it possible that any
candidate whose name graces the
Republican ticket from Governor
down to Coroner will demean himself
so much as to even countenance any
such trading, much less engage in it..
But if there is .such "a man he will
soon discover that others on the tick
ct are apt scholars, and the result will
be the utter decentralization and ruin
of the whole ticket. hThere are few,
if any, men who are.so fortunate as
to be selected for high positions who
are SO conceited that they feel above
their associates on the ticket, or who
do net feel pride in being account
