An Ex-senator Smiles.

Ex-senator l.. C. DAVIS, CT Vassar,
Tuscola county, IS here, with smile
on his face, born of the consciousness
OF the actual existence OF Democratic
Legislature IN Michigan. Heis a staunch
Democrat and good doctor-thls is
not a paid "ad'' nor gratuItous puff
simply fact. lie was a Senator in
the Legislature of lsS5, when Demo
cratic supremacy was $50 near and vet
SD far" He was one of the snouters
last campaign for retrenchment and re-
form and relief from the burdens of
taxation, and vet his mission here is TO
get authority from thIs reform Legsla-
tuTe for his locality to burden itself
with local taxatlon-the heaviest kind
for public Improvements. Doubtless
that locality will soon yield a prolific
crop of shreikers against the state of
Michigan for us burdensome taxation.
