hood In Alpena; he had made Alpena his
home and II was his intention TO remain
here. His interests were here, and II was
sweet to find that his neighbors and fell
low citizens had friendly greeting for
him, and that he had a place In their re-
CARDS.
After Mr.. Churchill had concluded his
few but we'll delivered remarks, there
was music by the band, and several well
known citizens were called upon and de-
livered addresses.
Mr.. Turnbull spoke of the benefit 1t
would be to Alpena II Mr.. Churchill
should be elected, stating among other
things that the next few years would have
a great influence on Alpena's fortunes.
The people OF this city should not, and
could not afford at present to allow any
opportunity to pass that would advance
her interests, and they could not afford to
lose the chance offered to have citizen
Of Alpena In the halls OF Congress. The
success and prosperity Of Alpena were of
more consequence TO the people than the
success OF any political party.
Hon. A. w. Comstock called attention
to the great work done by Mr. Churchill
when he was a member OF the state legis-
lature. At that time, as all old residents
we'll know, there was toll gate ut the
mouth OF the river In the shape OF har-
Dor Improvement company and that cor
poration had the power to levy toll on
every article brought In by vessels or
steamboats, up the river to this city.
There was tax on every barrel Of -four
imported, and OH all other necessarics Of
life. Mr.. Churchill, as n member Of the
state Legislature, had the law repealed
which allowed corporation TO levy the
tax, and old residents know how pleased
the people OF Alpena were when the OBJ
noxious act was wiped out.
Mr.. Churchill was not only welcomed
by Democrats, but many Of his Republi.
and gave him warm greeting that car.
ried with IL the assurance that he would
receive their votes and influence.

Dishonest Twaddle.

The down town calamity organ tries to
raise partisan cry about cedar being
on the free list, and says that "this will
practically kill the business in Alpena,"
and then modifies the claim by adding,
lat least for this winter"
A review Of the shipment Of cedar dur
ing the last five seasons will convince
any fair minded, reasonable man that the
cedar business In Alpena will not suffer
one fence post during the coming winter
on account OF free trade" Look at the
figures. Cedar has been shipped from
Alpena during the five seasons now draw
ing to close, as will be found in the
following table, where we give the total
number Of pieces shipped each year, which
includes posts, ties, telegraph poles and
