THE OUTLOOK IN MICHIGAN
Senator Burrows Prospective Alliance to
Secure Reelection.
Must Accept or Reject PinGree-PrOs-
pect of fractional Party Fight
Democratic bicycle Canvass.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star.
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. July >, 1sa

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, July ), 1897.
Inc alliance that Senator Julius Caesar
Burrows viii form for his campaign for re-
Pingree or with his colleague, Senator Nc
MILAN, is the subject of much specula ton
in Michigan political circles. The Pingree
and Mcmillan factions are so wide apart
that il w!lI be impossible for him to steer
middle course and be friendly with both,
10 matter how ardcntly he might desire TO
follow that plan. He viii have to tie up
with one or the other and so rapidly do
Political events move that any delay in
coming to a conclusion will be even more
dangerous than 10 make his decision and
ABIDE 10y the consequences.
As Senator Burrows wants another term
II would perhaps be but natural for him to
canvass the situation carefully and then
cast his fortunes with the side which he
picked rs the probable winner in the big
fight next year. few months ago he was
throwing kisses TO the Pingree forces, but
a change seems to have come over him
lately, and he is now throwing the harpoon
into the Pingree boom for a second term,
and this lea is to the conclusion that he
has joined ;he Mcmillan wing. and will look
to that side of the house for assistance in
his hour of need year and half hence.
When senator Nc MILAN returned to Nchi-
gar for d brief visit a few weeks ago. In
an interview he walked eloquent in telling
of the abilities of his colleague and of his
high standing among the upper house
statesmen. He dwelt with earnestness and
emphasis upon the Importance TO Michigan
of returning Burrows for a second term.

This was the first straw to indicate the
