Shank's Blowing.

EDITOR TIMEs:-Mr. Shank ap-
ipeared on the stage Of the opera
house on Monday evening last for
the purpose, as he stated, OF holding
the audience until his friend "Tim"
Tarsney, OF Saginaw, the gentleman
who is the MILLS candidate for Con-
sgress from this district, reached the
hall. Your humble servant, born in
che long ago, and brought up in the
Wing faith, and who tumbled into the
Republican party soon after its birth,
where, thank God, he has had the
good sense TO remain to the present
time, was one of the audience. He
was one of those who listened closely
10 the remarks with which Mr.. Shank
RECALLED ;he audience. His desul-
tory remarks, pscitaceous in their
character, were enough to fill any one
with disgust at the methods he had
chosen to adopt But when he stood
on that platform, as stand he did,
and made the statements which he
did, unequivocally in regard to the
sale Of lands by the State officials
during the tern. of the present Gov
ernor,/your correspondent was, to
say the least, exceedingly astonished.
Here is the statement in brief
State officials, Republican officials,
without regard to any law, in viola
ton of law, have sold IL, 900 acres of
SETTLED lands. lands which had been
occupied for twenty years, lands on
which the town of Crawling is locat-
ed, to spectators at Sl.2s per acre,
since which purchase they have ex
acted from settlers the sum Of $780,
900 for quit claim deeds. For years
the writer has listened 10 speeches
from the stump. For forty YEARS. he
has never heard a man from the
stump proclaim himself such a wilful
and wicked man as did this Mr..
Shank. Were bis statements true,
did he possess the knowledge he
claimed to have, instead OF keeping
it sin his own breast" he would
answer the dsll Of duty and 60 before
some grand jury and have these dere-
lict State officials indicted, furnish
his evidence, and see them safely be-
hind the bars at Jackson to serve the
State better than they are now doing,
accordingto his statement,at Lansing.
Mr. Shack expressed the hope that
he would have an opportunity ere
election ,day came 10 dilate upon
this subject on that same platform.
Let all hope he will, and then let us
give him rope enough to hang any
calf, for he evidently wants 20 hang
hinlself, aud will do SO if left alone.

Grover Cleveland began his term
OF Office with great flourish of the
trumpet OF civil service reform.
Yet so sweeping have beenremovals
that scarcely is there a fourth class
postmaster who is allowed to retain
his position. In Shiawassee county
a clean sweep has been made. If
there is any one thing that has fallen
into innocuous desuetude with the
"ruler Of sixty millions of people" as
he styles himself, IL is civil service
reform. foa
Judge Frank I. Reed, Of Tennes.
see, who is s,umping for Cleveland,
left the Republican party because he
became aconyeit to Henry Georges
theories concerning taxation. Henry
George would tax lands all over and
above what they could be rented for
and this would be the only tax. To
put this theory into operation re-.
quires the abolition of all custom
duties. After Cleveland issued his
message, Henry George became q
sincere admirer of the President and
an advocate of the Mills bill as being
a step in the right direction Now
Judge Reed who is as much of an
avowed free trader as ever was Cob
den or Bright, is brought into Mich
igan to speak for Cleveland, and yet
we are told that the Democratic party
is not free trade party and merely
desires to reduce the revenue. The
people of Michigan are hardly ready
for free trade aud the semi-socialistic
ideas concerning land advanced by
George and Reed.
Col. Bliss is daily growing in
strength in Shiawassee county. The
farmers, laborers and manufacturers
like his position on the tariff ques-
ton.
Shiawassee county will have to
settle with the State at last in the
matter Of back taxes.
