RI. COPE, PASTOR.
Hon. Rowland Conner, Of Saginaw,
addressed a crowded house, last Sat
urday evening, on tue financial issues
OF the day, from true democratic
standpoint. He is grand orator,
and perfect logician, and received
the closest possible attention of the
populace. The demo-pops, fearing
his influence, arranged an excursion
to Frederic for that night, and took
all they could persuade to go, where
they had a speech by Rev. Hoyt, OF
Petoskey, at the town hall, and a
glorious drunk and several free fights
at the saloons.
| After the return Of the demo pop
crowd from Frederic, Saturday night,
la number OF them cut down the flag
lin front OF republican headquarters,
land lowered the banners In front OF
Bates and Connlne's store, but were
scared away. They took down the
flag and streamer In front OF the
AVALANCHE office, and run up piece
of carpet, and cut down the colors
and decorations in front Of Davis
pharmacy, and fastened them to Dr.
Wolfe's door. Such dastardly work II
despicable, and makes the perpe-
{ traitors liable to severe punishment
under the law. Some OF them art
known and may well be thankful TO
; the forbearance of the men, whom
> they chose to insult.
