feat of Captain Gavett

feat of Captain Gavett.
To the Editor OF the TELIGRAN-HERALD.
lcould hardly believe mine own eyes,
and, in fact, not until had read your
editorial upon the appointment of pen
sion agent the second time, was con =
vinced that at last we had Republican
organ in western Michigan, that could
and would speak out in meeting, and, f,
from the expression generally among
Republicans since, then you voiced their
sentiments.
The Detroit protest is at the bottom
of the whole opposition to Captain
Gavett, and, coming as it does right
from the Alger camp and having its in
ception among the leaders. lsdue notice
that, if you want Office from the junior
Senator, why, you must yell for Alger.
Well, let them turn down the hustling
Captain, if they think best; but | will
venture to say that it Will be an exceed
ingly cold day for the Alger boom IN
this end of the State, when II is
done. Those who have been on the in
side have, for some time, been satisfied
that Senator Mcmillan was only waiting
for the opportunity that would afford
him an excuse TO advise the appoint
ment of some one else. Our friend
Gavett has always been too ardent a
friend to Mr.. Blaine to please our East
ern friends. 1t strikes me that il is
about time that the Alger crowd in De-
troit came down Off Their perch; better
look after their own affairs at home.
What with trying 10 tell us whom we
should nominate for Governor, and
whom appoint postmaster, and now
pension agent, they might possibly, IN
the end, spoil Ayers trip around the
National convention. | wonder If the
Senator and his Detroit crowd think
they can fool any body by giving out
| that it must be a one-armed soldier, and
that is their only reason. Well. guess
not. If they succeed III carrying
| through their scheme and defeat the
captain, / will then endeavor 10 give tC
your readers the inside of this rotter
deal, for 'tis nothing more or less. And
! propose, for one, that the public shall
be fully advised upon the subject.
