Postmaster Cleveland of Harrison, was
in the city this morning, returning from
a business trip to Saginaw. He informed The Ooukibb that owing to a rush of
business and other reasons he should go
out of tho postago stamp business early
next spring.
The most phenomenal run ever recorded in the political annals of Michigan
was that made by Harry IT. Ohipraan,
silver candidate for sheriff of "Wayn
county who was elected by 0,000 plurality,
overcoming a Bepublican plurality of
10,000 for the balance of the ticket.
"Doherty's excursion" via MarkHanna
and the F. & P. M. brought to Olare on
Monday evening a big crowd of people,
and the Republican campaign was closed
with yells, tin horn blasts, fireworks and
enthusiasm galore. The demonstration
was well handled and a credit to the
party. The speeches by W. A. Norton,
of St. Johns, Ex-Judge Hart, Prank
Dodds, of Mt. Pleasant, D. E. Alward
and others were well attended,
All of you fellows that want the post-
office hold up your hands:
Hpw many of yon know anything about
tho business?
■^

I suppose you"
Isyal support?
; My dear sir* Ping, supporters wont make
good postmasters. ' Get off the track,
the Mt. Pleasant Democrat for the gallant and successful Sghfc he and his loyal
supporters put up in Isabella county.
Two years ago that county gave a Eepublioan majority of 1,000 and to turn this
over required tho powerf nl and united
efforts of tho old party workers besides
hundreds of the rank and file who gave
their  time and sympathies to tho cause.
On Wednesday that loyal Bepublican
supporter of the silver cause, Geo. W.
Graham, of Farwell, wrote The Ooubiee
as follows: '"It looks now as if we were
defeated. If so, I go down with colors
flying and am ready to renew the fight,
and begin as soon as I find what the ro-
su'lfe really is." This s the throb of
patriotism that stirs the heart today of
every true believer in the cause of the
masses as against the classes, and it is
these patriots that will ultimately wear
the crown of victory for honest money
and America for Americans.
The boat service ever-had for receiving
returns in this oity were given oh election night. Western Dnion^ wire placed
in Doherty opera house and Duncan's
hall and expert operators wero on hand
to take tho returns until four ocloek
"Wednesday morning. The crowd at tho
opera house was a large and good nntur-
ed one, the silver men taking their medicine with good grace, Their spirits were
somewhat renewed about 1 o'clock whon
it was positively announced that Mississippi had gone for silver and that Texas
was conceded. The !Ladie3 Union served
lunoh n an .adjoinin,g room and wero
well patronized.

The county board of canvassors, consisting of J. F. Tatman, of Glare, L. L.
Kelly of Farwell and John H. Eiohmond,
of Summorfield, meet at the court house
next Tuesday to determine the result of
election. This is an improvement over
the former method, when one man was
sent from each voting precinct, and tho
saying of expense is no small item.
Th6 Munising News in its issue' last
week calls attention to laxity in the
state's way of doing business in the issue
of licenses for hunting deorit says: "How
much Michigan will gain by taxing foreign deer hunters is a matter which will
depend entirely upon the individual honesty of county clerks. There are two
lands of licenses issued to" deer hunters
by county clerks—resident and non-resident. For resident hunters 'the license
fee is 50 cents and for lion residents of
the state it is 5p25. But for both .kinds
only one form of blank is provided.
This one form is furnished county clerks
in any quantity desired or required. The
clerks are not required to account for
unused forms. There is nothing under,
the sun except conscience to prevent a
elelrk from filling out a non-resident
license, charging $25 therefor, and return-
-iug 50 cents to thtS state, as fee for , resident license1,"
H. T. Nbwlin has beon appointed postmaster at Clarence, vice Fred Church,

When Sir John Millais was a student
p,t the Royal Academy he rejoiced in
the friendship of a fellow student- by
the name of Potherd. Potherd, among
.other eccentricities, affected a long
blue cloak with a catskin collar, which
he wore on all occasions. Millais was
still struggling with his charcoal when
"Boy Blue" left the-.academy and set
up as a full-fledged artist, and the
Mends thus becarae separated. Millais
had achieved fame and painted soma
world-renowned pictures before he met
his old friend again. "Walking down
the streets of Camden Town one dayr
(Sir John saw a figure in a. long blue
cloak, trudging along "before him. "Sura-
ty," said Millais, "I knott that cloabj.
It must he Potherd." Quickening his
step, he called oat: "Hallo! Potherd.
how are you?" "And who may you
be?" said "Boy Blue." "I am Millais;,
don't you remember mef "Not little
Johnny Millais, surely?" said the shabby Ptrtherd, surveying the well-
groomed Sir John. "Judging by ytfiir
