An article in the News Item last
week, purporting to have been
written in WATERFOWL, N. Y,
charges the republicans with buy
ing democratic votes in that city
at an average price of twenty
dollars each. We are sorry our
republican friends in New York
state paid SO much; that was too
high altogether. A democrat in
Amigo says the republicans
bought seven here for twenty-five
cents each. 1t may be the further
west the cheaper they get

The HOLIDAYS.
Now I am IN holiday humour.

We shall soon stand upon the
very Threshold of Christmas. A
few points of time, and the Day of
all the year-a day big with bliss
to Youth and Hope, and fraught
with inexpressibly tender memories
to the Matured-will have dawned
upon a scene of innocent happi-
ness which in its annual recurrence,
types the glad green of the oasis
in the burning desert. Let US be
happy! We get a brief glance of
a world made happy and beautiful
by kindness. Let us make the
most of it! Let us try to make
others happy, by bestowing upon
them some tangible proof of our
friendship and goodwill! For our
selves, we not only wish happiness
to our customers, but we may,
with all modesty, claim to be able
to confer a substantial measure OF
it upon them by the APPROPRIATE
PRESENTS which we can recon-
mend to them. Hundreds will be
gratihed with the beautiful and
useful articles of which mention is
made in our "HOLIDAY MES
SENGER"-which will be sent
free to all who apply for it-for
those who have not yet decided
what to buy for their relatives or
friends will find in that pamphlet a
list of things suitable. We always
do our utmost to merit our
patrons patronage, and we beg to
solicit your orders for such Holt
day Goods as you may be needing

The work Of the president is
hard. The openings for errors are
legion. A president has none OF
the aid secretary gets from the
permanent staff of a department.
The White House has no "perman-
ent under-secretary." Each new
incumbent begins the work anew.
The preparation for the office is
sown thick with pitfalls. More
than one administration has beer,
wrecked by the work done before
its chief was inaugurated. For
four months before he assumes
office a president-elect bears many
of the burdens of office and enjoys
none of its vantage ground and
opportunity. In such a period,
discretion, demeanor and decision
are everything, and General Har-
rison has shown all these. They
have rallied to him the backing OF
the country as whole. With all
the bitterness of party strife there
IS not a country in the world in

LET her go, Maurice. A Detroit
Cash Boy who became a success in the
North. j. Maurice Finn. who was in
the city yesterday and spoke at Royal
Oak last evening. is among the hust-
lers of the hustlers, and an old Detroit
boy of whom his native city may be
proud. But few years ago he was a
cash boy in store and trained
with some of the live youths who have
since made a creditable advance in
life. He struck out on his own hook,
headed North instead of West: went
in to win and won. He has served in
the legislature and is making rapid
effort to get there again. He is post
master at Grayling, ranks among the
way up citizens, has grip on valua-
BILE pine lands and owns mile and a
half in a single stretch of mining lands
in the upper peninsula He is a wide
awake man of ths period, and a free
trade democrat from sole to crown. "
The above ''gush" is as nearly true
as can be expected from democratic
reports to the Eceaing Ntsos. While
we are glad TO see "Our Own Boy
honored as he deserves, yet we desire
to correct the errors in the above.
First, he has not seToed in the lagisla-
ture, but was defeated by the Hon. d.
p. Markey, two years ago, as he will
be this year by Hon. s. w. Turner.
He is not postmaster at Grayling, but
is deputy of his lovely wife, who
holds that position, and while he NAV
be free trade democrat in Detroit he
is clear to the other side up here where
protection theories prevail.
