POLITICS IN BRoOKWAY BOOMING.
ROTH OLD PARTIES Don THE WAR
PAINT AND 90 FORTH TO BATTLE
AN EXCITING TIME.

The past week has been one Of inter-
est never before known in the history
Of Brockway politics. For many cam
paigns Brockway has helped to roll in
n republican majority to the state. and
some of the old inhabitants were wont
to remark. las Brockway goes so goes
the state" but this old saying did not
prove true two years ago when Yaple
polled l66 to Luce's l6l in this township.
This state of affairs looks rather gloomy
to the republicans and they are anxious
to redeem their "old love" if they pos
sibly can on the 9Th of November next.
Consequently move in this direction
was made Thursday afternoon last by
raising 20 foot pole in this village at
the Commercial House corner and hoist
ing to the breeze the stars and stripes
over Harrison x Morton streamer.
In this way they want everybody to see
they are still alive and in good spirits.
III the evening about 100 men and
boys formed in line at the Duflie corner
and. headed by the brass band, marched
through Main-st to the station and back
to Central Hall where joint discussion
had been arranged between Hon. j. W.
Babcock, of Croswell, representing the
republican side, and DR.. Brown, of Lex
ingtOn, the democratic standpoint. A
pleasant evening was spent by the large
crowd present, although but very little
information was gained from either ar
gument.
Monday was the democratic gala day.
A committee was dispatched to the
bush and returned with fine hickory,
and in the afternoon raised it and UNI
furled u Cleveland and Thurman ban
ner. That evening a large excursion
of about 500 Democrats came here
from Port Huron and an immense pro-
cession Of about 400 or 500 men and
boys. headed by the band, formed at
the depot and marched to Central hall
where speeches were made by p. H..
Phillips and J. :. Du!lie, Of Port Huron;
also ut Michaels' hall VIM. Cline and G.
l.. IIovey made rousing speeches. The
Democrats are doing their utmost to
promote the interests of their party,
and fully expect to keep Il democratic
president in power for another term.
Tuesday night the Republicans were
out again in full force, and, with the
band, welcomed Hon. Frank Plumley.
\ procession of over 100 men and boys
paraded the streets and then adjourned
to Central hall, where Mr.. Plumley gave
a most interesting address. which was
well received. This gentleman is an
eloquent and impressive speaker and
one could sit and listen to him the
whole evening without firing
The republicans of Old Brockway
not wanting to be behind the times
placed in position on Tuesday last a ~
foot pole. and there now tlaunts in the
breeze on said pole a fine Harrison and
Norton streamer. Mr.. Plumley made
few remarks and all present enjoyed
a pleasant time.

Democratic State CnnYeniian.

The State Central Committee, in obedi-
ence to the call Of the Chairman, Hon. John
S. Barbour, will meet at the Exchange
Hotel in Richmond at o'clock o-morrow
Thursday, the 9Th, for the purpose of fixing
the time and place of holding the State Con
vention to elect delegates to the National
Convention.
As has been the custom heretofore, as the
Stote says, the delegation of each congress
| sional district on the morning of the first
session of the State convention holds a
meeting at which it recommends two dis
trict delegates and their alternates and one
district elector. Those recommended are
invariably elected by the State Convention.
| Then the convention as whole receives
nominations for and elects four delegates a;
large to the National convention and theiI
alternates, and two electors at large, whose
duty it is, with the district electors, to. con.
duct the canvass in this State when the
delegates to the National convention shall
have performed their service Of choosing
candidates for the Presidency and Vice
Presidency.
The number of electors at large, two, and
district electors, ten, corresponds exactly
to the two senators and ten Representatives
in Congress. The four delegates at large
and twenty district delegates are exactly
double that number.

Sincerity C?) of Republican Senators.


The Blair Bill passed the Senate in 1884
by 10 to II in 1886 by SO to II; and
recently by 80 to 80. Ofthe SO Republican
Senators, 26 were for the bill and Is
against it. The New York Nation, the ablest
Republican paper North or South, in its
issue of Feb. 23rd, says -
"Two-thirds of the Republican Senators
voted or were paired in favor of its passage,
yet it is notorious that of these twenty-six
there are not more than six who honestly
believe iu the wisdom of the measure, or
who sincerely desire lis enactment into
law
It says that ''Senator after Senator voted
publicly for bill which they had previous
ly admitted ought not TO become law
1t then gives the expressions of a number
of them, of which the following are ex-
amples -
A Republican Senator from a New Eng
land State told another Senator early in
January that he chad become convinced
that the bill was unwise, unnecessary, and
wholly vicious.'
Another said, 'Whats the use of talking
about the question of constitutionality II
the people want the bill let them have it,
Some who had voted for it before said
over and over again during the past month
that they "were sick of the bill, and
thought it ought not to become law, but
could not find excuse for reversing the1
former action" and voted for it.
A Republican Senator from a Western
State said ''There is much good sense in
the arguments urged against the bill, but a
vote against it would be regarded, without
explanation, as adverse to the cause of edu-
cation. l cannot place myself in that
position"
1t is very evident, that not only ma
jority of the Republican Senators, but even
a majority of those who voted for the bill
did not wish it to become law. Their
hope and expectation was that it would
fail to pass the House, and that would give
them the opportunity to charge the Dem
ocrats with being ''averse to the cause OF
education, TO use the language of Re-
publican Senator quoted above. Their
purpose was not to pass the Blair Bill, but
TO make capital against the Democratic
party.

SPEECH by Hon. Mr.. BREcKESRrner ou
kY.-lr the House of Representatives on
wednesday, Feb. Goth, Mr.. BreckinridOe os
(Ky.) spoke at length in defense of the I'D
ministration's financial policy, as well as Of
the Presidents position on the tariff. Anon,
other things, he said the President had but to
adopt some new phrases of general political
economy aud he would have been considered
prudent political leader. But putting the
presidency and all the temptations at the
risk of an honest utterlnce of his judgment
and of his belief, whether it was an utter
ance that his entire party agreed with or
not, the President had delivered message
which had, by its very uniqueness, been
taken out of the mere dull sequence of off.
cial documents and caused discussion
from one end of America to the other which
neither the wit of the gentleman from Maine
nor the eloquence of the gentleman from
Ohio would cause to cease until this protec-
tive iniquity had been reformed. IAppause
on democratic side That was a spectacle
which was full of hope to those who agreed
with the President, and, he had no doubt,
inll OF grievance to the distinguished gen.
tieman from Maine. He assured the gen.
tleman from Maine, without protesting TO
reveal any knowledge or to be a prophet,
that if he would just wait he would have az
much of a tariff bill as he was abla IN con-
slider and far more than he would he able n
defeat, Applause ON the democratic side.1
a tariff bill that would gather to its support
every democrat on the floor of this House
[renewed applause;l tariff bill that would
gather to its support every republican who
was not given over TO strong delusiou;
tariff bill that would gather to its support
all fair minded manufacturers who only
wanted what was just; bill which would
be the product of great labor, of a very
strong desire to do what was fair, and which.
when it came into the House, modified it
might be by the wise suggestions of the re-
publican members of the committee, modi6-
ed by the wiser suggestions of democrats
who did not agree with all of its provisions
framed, not by dicker and barter but with
a strong desire to'make the public good the
first object of its legislatiou-when that
bill came into the House it would be passed.
and it would relieve the President, whether
he was Mr.. Cleveland or some one else, of
the necessity of finding a disposition for the
surplus, by leaving the surplus in the
pocket of the man who made the money,
Applause from the democratic side.
