Postmaster General Bissell has given
Mr.. Latimer notice that he will not
consider his recommendations for post
masters except when he recommends
true and tried Democrats. He will not
appoint Populist or Third partyite.
In other words the applicant must
sand upon the Democratic platform
in order to secure consideration from a
Democratic administration. And Mr..
Bissell will likely keep himself we'll
informed so thatit will not be easy to
fool him. Mr.. Latimer himself is
Democratic Congressman who does not
endorse the National Democratic plat
form. The way is plain DOW for Mr..
Lstimer to get his recommendations
receive consideration. Let him recon-
mend none but good Democrats.

Saginaw, Mich, Nov. Oh, 1892.
J. C. Day, Esq, Manager, Detroit,
Michigan. IT, ...
Dear Sir:-I beg leave to acknowl-
edge receipt OF the Equitable Life
Assurance Society's check in settle
mens of policy No. 1928 on the
life of Charles H. :Plummer. de-
ceaAed. The payment of this claim
within three days after presentation
of proofs is an agreeable surprise to
me aud the other benefciaries un-
der the policy, as 1 was not aware
that the Equitable had departed
from the usual rule of life compa-
MES in taking from sixty to ninety
days in settlement Of their policies
after receipt of satisfactory proofs OF
death. Mr.. Piummer's purpose in
taking out this policy was to
strengthen bis credit, as it was well
known in business circles tbats be
at times took great chances in bis
dealings.
At his suggestion, about two
years since the policy was assigned
to me as security for an indebted
ness. Soon after this he became
EN- barrassed and was unable to pay
the premiums. When the value Of
the contract was explained to me
Git being Is year Tontine), l de-
cided to pay the future premiums,
at least until the assured's financial
condition would permit him to re-
turn me the money | bad paid out.
The wisdom of my decision in
this case is now clearly proven, as
the proceeds of the policy will not
only liquidate all my claims, but 1t
is presumed will leave a handsome
balance for the estate.
l cannot say too much in express
ing my admiration for the company
and its methods; neither can too
highly recommend it to other capt.
talists who from time to time take
chances on men engaged in busi-
ness whose transactions are on a
large scale and at times precarious,
az should death occur when there
is large Indebtedness, their estate
would be much embarrassed, or
possibly insolvent.
Yours truly.
