reason why Mr.. Church was So anxious

Ilc ver1ci0us correspondent of that
extremely non-partisan and truthful
journal. the Detroit Free Press, has a
great deal OF trouble, 40 doubt made
by comparison OF Michigan influence
under the last administration and the
prescntOue, estimating that influence"
by the number OF men who were aD-
