The diabolical character of the latest
plan of the squawbuck legislature to
gerrymander the congressional dis
tricts of the state can be seen from the
fact that the city of Detroit, that strong
hold of Democracy, instead of consti-
tuting "a district by itself, is to be sliced
up and apportioned out among three
separate districts This is done to
make these three districts reliably
Democratic. 1t has been the history
of similar gerrymanders in other states
that such unfair, partisan measures
have sometimes overleaped the mark
and fallen flat on the other side. This
is likely to be true in Michigan. The
love of fair play is not a dead letter
with voters. MuSkegon Chronicle.

At recent meeting of the Republi-
can editors of the Seventh congression-
al district of Kansas, letter from eX-
Senator Ingalls, was read and warmly
applauded. Among the things the let
ter said was: "The Republican party is
confronted with great problems which
threaten its supremacy. If we are to
succeed we must deal with the issues
of to-day as we dealt with slavery, Sc
cession and state sovereignty 30 years
ago The Republicanism of the future
must readjust itself to the changed con-
ditions of American life or it will per-
ish wish to save it from this fate by
recalling the spirit of energy, the ag-
gressive and patriotic force of the
founders to the campaign of 1890. This
will be waged upon economic and prac-
teal questions and not upon memories
or motions. Harrison will be renOmi-
mated and Cleveland will be his antag-
onist. If we have courage and con-
science it will be an Austerlitz. If we
dicker with popular errors, compromise
with unprincipled leaders and sheer at
honest differences of judgment and
opinion, it will be Waterloo"

Last Friday the House passed the re-
apportionment bill by which the Dem
ocrats hope to secure seven OF the
twelve Congressman from this state
Kalamazoo county is taken from the
Fourth and placed in the Third district,
which now comprises Branch, Kalama-
ZOO, Eaton and Calhoun. These coun-
ties gave a Republican plurality of 1867
for governor in 1890. The Fourth dis
trict as now constructed comprises st.
Joseph, Cass, Berrien, Van Buren,, AL.
Logan and Barry, which gave Turner
96S plurality last fall. The engineers
of this gerrymander fondly hope that
by the removal of Mr.. Burrows from
the path of the "boy from Mendon,"
that apostles of free wool will find clear
sailing into Congress. But, while we
regret that Mr.. Burrows can no longer
receive the suffrages of the people OF
the district he has so long and SO ably
represented, it will be well for the ma
nipulators of this scheme to remember
that there are other Republicans than
Mr.. Burrows in the Fourth district of
Michigan-men who, though lacking
his experience, will take up the fight
where he has laid it down, and around
whom the Republicans will rally with
the same zeal that has characterized
their devotion to Mr.. Burrows in the
past. And right here we would like to
90 on record with prediction: In 1892
Michigan will send eleven Republicans
to the Congress of the United States;
and this will be brought about by the
simple working of the Mckinley tariff
bill, which is making Republican voters
out of lifelong Democrats every day,
and the volume of which accesions to
the party by November 1892 will be so
great that no man will care TO go be-
fore the people on a platform adverse
to that measure.
