Repudiates Pingree's Leadership.

Otto L. Sprague, of this city, paid his
respects to Gov. Pingree in Wednesday
evenings Detroit Journal in language
that cannot be misunderstood His
views seem to meet the hearty approval
of a large number of the republicans of
the city. The article is as follows:
"After reading the comments of our
governor relative to the Republican
party and it's leaders, l am convinced
that unless the reporters for the Detroit
dailies are q lot of colossal liars, the Re-
publican party owes it toits principles to
seek one other than III. s. Pingree for it's
nominee for governor this fall. Ii news
paper comments are to be relied upon,
Mr.. Pingree seems to think he is the
"whole thing" and that he is comforting
the power OF victory upon the Republi-
can party by allowing his name to head
the state ticket next November. In my
opinion, if the Republican party in Michi-
gan must derive it's support by virtue of
the Coxeyite principles OF it's nominee for
governor rather than by virtue of it's
true principles, then better for minority
faction under true colors than u majority
under cloak of un-Republican princi-
Piles.
l see that Col. Bliss says that Pingree
is entitled to a denomination. With all
due respects to the colonel, l wish to say
perhaps he is, but it surely is not at the
hands of the Republican party, but
rather at the hands of those whose prin-
ciples he advocates. Ii he chooses to
keep up perpetual harangue at the
Republicans of Michigan and elsewhere,
that is is his own business, but to tender
him a denomination on the Republican
ticket is equal to acknowledging, on the
part of Republicans, their inability to
win out without the personality of Pin
gree backing them up.
The 81 900 votes secured by Mr.. Pin
gree over and above the presidential vote
at the last election, to my mind indicates
silver following, or rather an adherence
to the principles of Pingreeism on the
part of that number of Organizes. The
masses of the state may be so closely al
lied to socialism as to decoy the upbuild-
ing of capital and industry, but l think
with the improved conditions of CON-
merce and agriculture at the present
time over conditions existing one year
ago, that the ranting of our un-Republi-
can leader would have even a less follow
ing next November than in 1896.
II Mr.. Pingree wants the support OF
the Silverites and Populists, let him come
out fat-footed and say he will not ac-
cept denomination at the hands of the
Republican party and then be free to
seek his nomination and election at the
hands of the advocates OF his principles,
and to also damn the Republican party
and leaders ad libitum, but better If
needs be, that Michigan loses her Repub-
lican senator and a majority of her con-
gressmen than the Republican party
march down the political highway to vic
tory in November under cover OF the
cloud of dust raised by Coxeyite leader"

What is the use of going away from home
for something little better, little cheaper
than you can get at home? Why 20 away
from home for better bargains and better
laborers when you know you cannot get
them. You can find sO-called snaps-better
promises than you do at hOme-because the
merchants and labOrers are among us, and
they will tell you the truth, while the 9TH
ers are In no way interested except to get
your cash. You have as good people in your
city as there are in any other city. Stand
by your own interests, home merchants and
home men. Ii you patronize a home mer-
chant or home laborer the profit he makes
or earns remains at home. If you go away
from home for either you get neither the
profits to build up your town or the cash
from the labor.
The above from the Ann Arbor Courier
is sensible advice. Patronze the merchants
of your own town. Do not 20 away or
send away for goods. Our merchants are
always willing to order goods If they do not
have in stock what is wanted. Stand by
your own town. This applies also to bust
ness men-patronize the newspapers of
your own city by advertising the goods you
haye to sell and give them your orders for
job printing.

In the campaign of '96 the Journal was
about the only paper in New York City to
advocate the election of Bryan. 1t has how
ever arrived at the conclusion that Mr.. Bry-
an Is too small man to fill the position to
which he aspired and which he still hopes
to obtain in 1900. In long editorial pub
lished last week the editor of the Journal
says:
"As a Bryan democrat have to confess
that grow weary OF Mr.. Bryan, and this Is
important, because find myself In con-
stantly increasing company. With these
other eastern democrats am coming to be-
lieve that he Is not large enough to be the
leader Of the cause which Is known by his
name. OF his energy and brillianoy as q
political speaker as high an opinion must be
held as when he made that marvellous tour
of the union, arousing the people every
where with his earnest and dashing elo.
quepce But he no longer impresses as
great man nor as one of the highest sincerl-
ty."
''He is showing narrowness, or irrational
obstinacy. either of which should be detri-
mental to his ambition and must be hurtfu
to the immediate prospect Of the movement
he represents. The persistence with which
he clings to 10 to 1, as II that were the soil
tary tenet in the democrats creed, the axis of
the revolving cosmos, betrays either Mr..
Bryan's incapacity to comprehend Bryan
ism OF logged disposition that refuses to
acknowledge what is presented to his eyes
and those Of every other intelligent man In
this country, whether for or against the
Chicago platform of the new democracy"
