FOR MAYOR JOHN T, POTTER.

The republicans in city convention as
senlagaeel placed in nomination for the
office Of mayor Of the city of Sturgis the
gentleman whose name appears at the
head of thisss article. That they knew
what tEieyswepe about, and had the best
interests of the city at heart when they
placed Mr. Potter at the head of their
ticket is acknowledged by all those who
are interested in the upbuilding and
further progression Of the city.
Mr.. Potter is man thoroughly known
throughout the Hills as "a business man
of irst-casfss reputation. His character
and ability are not matters of local
Neutrality-suspicious., but are widely known
beyonc. the confines of the Hills He is
a wide-awake, progressive man. Every
thing heretofore proposed for the i'm
proverent ofythe city, Mr.. Potter has
been at the front and taken an active
interest in. He is one of the largest
proparty owners and tax payers in the
citySand as such will continually work
for The best interests of the town. Moth
ingS that can possibly work to the detri-
ment Of the taxpayer and property
Holder will be countenancedSby him, as
bis interests are identical with all. He
is man Of broad views and liberal prin-
cipies, and as such will give our city an
administration that can be pointed to
with pride, and the citizens need not be
ashamed Of it anywhere. Sturgis can
not afford, just as she is starting out as
a newly organized city, to try any ex-
pertinent in the way of a chief officer.
Mr.. Potter in the short time he has been
upon the city board has proven conclu-
sively that he has the knowledge of af-
fairs in general, and, the executive ability
to handle and dispose OF anything
that may Gomez before him as the city's
mayer. Had therepublicans canvassed
thereby, regardless of party, no better
or moro competent man could have been
found than the one they have chosen as
their leader. The people of this city, in
their own good judgment, can be relied
upon to vote for the man whom they
know, without the shadow of a doubt
whatever, will do his whole duty to them
at any and all times, and one whom they
are confident knows how to do it wher-
ever the may be placed. That man is
John r. Potter.

powder1z and Litchman.

/ PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 5.-This weeks
Journal of Union Labor contains an ar
ticle W columns and a half in length
contributed by General Master Workman
Powderly, and containing correspondence
that passed between him and Charles Fl.
Litchman upon %resigning the secretary
ship of the order. The first is given in
Litchman's letter of resignation, which
has already been published. Powderly's
reply opens with an acceptance Of the
resignation, and he says while | will not
question your motives in taking this step
you will, / trust, pardon me if | say shat
| fail to see how organized labor can be
benefited by having its officers cast aside
the obligations and duties which their
constituents have imposed upon them
for the purpose OF taking
sides in a political campaign.
1t is true that groans and
signs are following up from the mouths of
political leaders for the wrongs of work
ingmen. Many Of these who groan loud
est at this time may be justly classed
among those who are the very worst OPP
pressors of labor. The tears they shed
will never increase in volume to such an
extent as to wipe away the grcvious
wrongs OF their past actions or failures to
act have imposed Upon the man who
bends under poverty's load. You cannot
blame me, then. if | call the groans and
signs mere empty sounds tears of but
hollow mockery and the professions OF
conversion to the doctrines of organized
labor as the sublemity of hypocrisy.
In this campaign every man has an I'M
doubted right to so act as to confer the
greatest amount of good upon his country,
but the question at issue, the tariff, will
not be settled when the votes are counted
in November. The election of a presl-
dent will not make the change unless the
people of all the land make judicious Sc
~lections of such members of the national
legislature as will carry out their wishes
when congress assemblies.
Already forty-one nominated candidates
regardless of party have signed written
pledges to work for measures of reform,
at the request of members of the KING hts
of Labor. If this plan of our order is
faithfully carried out it will result in more
good thar any other.
Litchman winds up the correspondence .
He says: | hold it more honorable to lay
down Official duties that would ham per
private action than to retain such position
and at the same time be engaged
in political scheming in secret
with party agents whom it is nee
essarY ostensibly to publicly denounce.
| honestly believe that bad as you may
think or say the Republican party is, the
Democratic party is infinitely worse by
reason of the advocacy of free trade and l
further believe that l should be false to
my duty to the people engaged in the in
dustries of my state if [ did not do all in
my power to defeat the political combina-
tons that would, it successful. still fur
ther lower their standard of wages and
consequently their standard Of living.
