FUSION IN MICHIGAN.
The Democrats aud Greenbaekers
Likely to Diuide the State Officers,


GRAND RAPIDS, Mich, July 80
The Greenback State Convention is
in session here ostensibly to nominate
a full State ticket, but really to effect
If possible, a fusion with the Demo.
Gratis on the basis OF a division of the
honors, Tie Democratic convention
is in session at the same time and foI
the same purpose, No doubts are en-
tertained but that a combination will
be made. The Greenbackers are not
in frame of mind to enter into a
forlorn-hope campaign, ana neither
are the Democrats. Both parties
have united before, and plan work
we'll In 1882 Begole was elected
Governor by coalition, although the
balance of the ticket was defeated, and
in 1884 Alger was elected by only
5000 plurality, Two years ago Yaple
was defeated by about 1000 plurality
His defeat was owing to 1t bitter fac
tional fight in Wayne county and the
Sixth Congressional District In pre-
vous years the division Of the officers
has been as equal as might be, The
Greenbackers have been permitted to
name the head OF the ticket. This
year the democrats will name the gu
bernatorial candidate. The Green
hackers will probably have the NAM
ing of Auditor General, Attorney
General and Commissioner Of the
Land Office or State Tresurer, instead
Of one OF the latter positions. For
Auditor they will name BARLEY Breen
OF the Upper Peninsuly, who gave
Congressman Seymour such tight
squeeze IN the eleventh district cleo
ton last winter.
Four years ago the Democrats and
Greenbackers fused on an electoral
ticket, as we'll as in the state ticket,
each party naming seven electors, six
Of each being on both tickets, and
seven heading the Democratic and
Greenback ticket respectively. Wheth-
er fusion on the national ticket can be
effected this year is still a debatable
question. Chairman Fuller, Of the
Greenback State Committee, favors
the naming of Strceter Omitted Labor
electors, but he not seem to be in
harmony in this respect with the
rank and file OF his party. The prob
ability now seems to be that the
Greenbackers will name no electors
but will vote for those nominated by
the Democratic State Committee.

Another Advance Step.

From Manufacturers Record, July 2l, 1888.
The Manufacturers Record, is carry,
ing out its work in behalf OF the de-
velopment of the South, has decided
upon another important step, which is
the establishment of branch offices at
Louisville, KY, and Admission, Ala,
Kentucky, which has been so morvel.
ously blessed by nature with wonder
full mineral, timber and agricultural
resources, is now making very rapid
industra. progress. A new spirit has
been infused into its business, and the
future promises an era of great activi'
ty in the development ofits vast iron
and coal interests. Louisville, the
leading city of the State, already 2
great manufacturing point, control
ling an immense amount OF capital, is
taking the lead in this development
and it is there that it will center. Ala
bama, the industrial progress OF which
surpasses anything in that line ever
before accomplished, is destined tc
become one of the greatest manufact
uring contries in the world. Hence il
is appropriate that in these two States
one on the borders OF the South and
the other in the very center of thai
section, the Manufacturers RecorC
sould have branch offices. With thii
in view and desiring to accomplish
still more than we have yet done fol
the upbuilding of the South, we have
selected Louisville and Admission fol
our branch offices. Then, with Offices
at Baltimore and Louisville, the two
largest cities on the borders OF The
South, and at Admission, which is il
the very center of Alabama's won
derful development, the Manufactur
ers' Record will be better prepared
even than heretofore, to work for thu
advacement of the whole South, anC
resources of this section-destined to b.
the richest country upon which th'
sun ever shone-may be crowned will
abundant success.
