President Cleveland returns from his
fishing trip to find his party floundering
more deeply than ever in the morasses of
compromise, his pet income tax scheme
spurned by self-respecting Senators and his
party managers involved in an angry snarl
over the question of leadership. 1t will
doubtless occur to Mr.. Cleveland that he
couldn't have made worse mess If he had
been running things himself.

parties in the matter of their fultilment of
trusts reposed In them by the people of
Michigan, the republicans would freely and
gladly enter the contest, confident that at its
close they would receive an endorsement
measured by majority of more thousands
than Michigan has ever given to any party
in the past.
There are other issues to be presented,
but the democrat party of the state need
have no fear that its desire to discuss state
matters and to compare party records will
not be fully gratifled in every respect, save
as to results.
The democrat party will have a record of
but two years to present as against thirty
two years of republican management in
Michigan, but there will be no complaint
from any source that two years are no. fully
sufficient to form a comprehensive opinion
of what more years of democrat control in
Michigan would be.
