"lHs Scandinavian vote IN Michigan
Is Republican, as solid as the Rock OF
,lbsaltaF." SKID Tim hester. and yet he
proposed 10 deliver that vote al over 70
the Democracy, IN return for Bras
tad's nomination for Treasurer. Prob
ably Tim thinks their Republicanism is
really no more Gibraltar-Iike than his
own was. Tins couldn't stand grief.

DEMOCRATIC prophecy flowed freely
during little love feast held IN the
! convention, while awaiting report
/ from the committee on order OF busi-
ness. 1t was = harmless diversion for
one day only. OF course the DEM
ocraNc party IN Michigan viii not be de-
feated-Chipman says such a thing
never happens-but that party Will soon
recognize the inevitable and retire IN
good order.
GrD. RUTHERFORD told the convention
Yesterday, that he had defined TO ac-
cept the nomination for Governor
just when he did any declining is one
of the Things no fellow can ind out
only because he knew he would be
elected, if nominated. Then he gave
ND the only chance OF his lie to the
horny-handed Wiuans. Generous Gid.
No wonder he "squashed' his chair
when he sat down.
THE most thoroughly blatherskite
speech of the Democratic convention
was A. 6. MaXwelps. He harped on
the old story of the million dollars
kept by the Republicans in the treasury
Of Michigan, simply TO loan to Repub-
hcan bankers. He we'll knows that that
money was accumulated and kept
under the provisions of our Demo-
cratic State Constitution. He also
knows that all of Michigan's outstand-
ing bonds became due this year, and
the sinking fund has either been all
paid out already, or soon will be.
"THE Democratic party is eyerlast
ingly right and tire Republican party
everlastingly wrong" exclaimed Frank
Dean in his great vanishing scene. Was
It everlastingly wrong to subdue a
Democratic shareholders rebellion.
Was 1t everlastingly wrong to abolish a
Democratic system of human slavery
Was 1t eyerlastingly wrong to take az
empty Democratic treasury and fill II
to overfIowing? Was it everlastingly
wrong to raise this country fran bank
} ruptcy to affluence2 Yes; because done
by the the Republican party.
IT must have been little humiliat-
ing to Mr.. Ford to have the old back
number, J. Logan Chapman, called uE
TO GO over much of the same ground
that he had covered IN his speech
when he assumed the char. Mr. Fore
had already rlddled Mr.. Reed, from a
Democratic standpoint. had eviscerateC
the Force bill, and had decapltated ths
Tariff BILL What more needed to II
dontp Was the convention afraid tina
: that they would continue To wriggl'
? their tails until shutdown, hike Tn
7 snake the schoOl-boy kills. Or didn'
they feel that Mr.. Ford had thoroughly
done his work2 At any rate Speake
: Reed and the two bills had to take an
. other pummeling. The three ought &
realize that they are dead tha
they died as died the PhilIstlnes il
Ssmsous tune.
