After every election the win
ming side is highly gratified
while the loosing side is cores
pondingly disappointed. But
the feelings Of both are soon
modified by the thought of the
election, and the knowledge
that the whirligig Of time may
make the defeated of today the
victor of Tomorrow. And.
apart from this, once the fever
of excitement has disappeared
and people calmly consider the
verdict. there is the general re-
cogniation that all parties are
earnest for the nations good
however much they differ from
one another i'm political princi-
pies aud methods.
Here is "a man IN Michigan
