VOICES IN CONDEMNATION.
The State Press speaks in no Uncertain
Tone the Outrage.


One of the moot high-handed legisla-
tive proceedings on record was perpe-
trated by the State Senate yesterday.
There has been al agreement since the
opening OF the session tina: no import
ant measures should be called UP in the
any considerable number of either side
of the House.-Ionia Sentinel.
This trap was sprung with view Of
dethroning the three independent 7. of
lis the three 3 S as they are called,
and rushing through such a Congress
ional sapportlon. ent bill as the Demo-
Gratis desired. But the chances are the
Democratic schemers have overreached
themselves. The fair minded p. of i.
Senators and the people at large will
not tolerate any such outrageous action
as this. The people demand fair play.
Defeat IN fair aud open fight can be
borne with equanimity; but defeat by
treachery and subterfuge the people
will never stand.-kalamazoo Tele-

A sneak thief is generally considered
the meanest and most degraded OF mis-
kind. He is despised by all men and
his association shuned by other men,
bers of the robber fraternity. Even his

there are IN Lansing at the present time
at least fourteen political sneak thieves,

City and vagrancy OF the Legislature.

The Democrats in the State Senate
