THAT FRAUDULENT TICKET. "The Mountain Labored and Brought Forth a Mouse," Our Democratic and Greenback friends professed to be wonderfully disturbed over the appearance of a ticket that was more or less circulated Monday. In tho afternoon "dodgers" were issued calling a meeting of "honest men" at the Town nail that evening to take steps to cir cumyeat Charles F. Gibson's efforts to circulate fraudulent tickets. Their whole cry seemed to be aimed at Mr, Gibson the Republican candidate for Congress from this district. How little foundation there was for their hue and cry can best be explained by the follow ing letter from S. B. McCracken which has reference to the ticket in question. The representatives of the same party in this district endorsed Mr. Gibson for Congress and his name was put en the ticket for that position. This is all there was to the "fraud" IN APPEAL TO THE PEOPLES PARTY To the Editor of the Evening Journal. Detroit, Nov. 3 The act of political adultery sought to be perpetrated by the Democrats and a portion of those repre senting the former Greenback party, so awakened the just indignation of thous ands of independent voters in Michigan that a conference was held at Lansing, Sept. 30 at which a straight Butler elec toral ticket was nominated, as follows: Mows W. Field John D. Cotharin Wlldman Mills Johnatban P. Hinshaw. John J. Vatkin Charles II. Williams. Aaron 8. Dyckraan Benjamin Fox. Frederick 1). Camahan Chas. II. Stone. Andrew Harshaw Charles Benton. Herman Goeschel nn me Has Been lor Uriel New Store ! New Goods ! Low Look Out for our New Advertisement in this Space Next Week. The Detroit Free Press of Sunday vnb lished a list of the electors on the Demo cratic ticket, and says they are the same as those on the "Peoples ticket," except the name of Johnathan Y. Flanders, which heads the list. It is not so. The People's party are in no way identified with that monstrosity. The Greenback Convention made itself a party to the unnatural pact, but it did not represent the people's farty. The Detroit Free Press also says that spurious tickets will be put afloat con taining the namesjof some tRepublicans instead of the Democratic electors. If there is danger of this the Free Press rtAAH riftht in cautioning the DeoDle against it, and I am glad to join it in doing so. For this reason the names of tre electors en the reopie s ucjcei are given above, and there is not a Repub lican among them nor a Democrat either. All who wish to vote the Peo ple's ticket should see that their ticket tains tha names above, and those only. These tickets may be found at nearly every poll in me siaie, primeu with the portrait of Gen Butler, on gum med papers, so that they will not only be convenient for use, but easy of identifi cation. The fusion outrage is claimed by the guilty parties to it as a contract, binding on the part of the Democrats who were represented by their state convention, and on the part of theGreenbackers who were nominally represented by the con vention held in Detroit, Aug 19, and 20, If the parties had a right to thus con tract and to bind their constituency, ihia nlloorAd contract is void, because No contract is binding that is founded in fraud. No contract is binding that is founded in immorality. . No contract is binding that is mon strous in its terms. ' Tim nllorrfld f union Contract is VOid. be- in ir fnnnrtpd in fraud, because Gen. But ler was mislead Into recommending it by the representations or peisons m Michigan m wnom ne naa couuueuce. It is void because founded ia the most flagrant political immorality. It is void, being monstrous in its terms because it is an attempted alliance be tween forces having no elements of sympathy or affinity. But the parties assuming to contract had no authority to make such a con tract. They exceeded their functions and were false to their trust in doing so. Whatever semblance of contract there may be is void because of a want of pow er to contract. The fusion, therefore has in it no park of authority to bind the individ ual voter none whatever. The voter can express his individual preference for Gen. Bntler only by voting the straight People's ticket, given fore going. S. B. McCricken, Chairman State Central Committee, Peo ple's Party.

New York Graphic: Foster got $15,000 for writing "Old Folks at Home." Charles Dlbbin netted several weeks board for writing "Poor Jack" while his publishers made $25,000 oat of it. Robert Treat Paine wrote "Ye Son's of Columbia" early in 1800, under the title of "Adams and Liberty," and he was paid $750 for it. "America" was written by the Rev. Samuel Francis Smith in 1832, and it was first sung in Boston on tbe Fourth of July of that year. "Columbia, the Gem of the Ocean," was written by Thomas A. Becket, an English actor, who in 1879 was a teach er of music at Philadelphia. The tune of "John Brown's Body," is of Methodist Camp meeting origin. It was adapted to its present nse by an organist in Harvard church in 1861. Crouch, the writer of "Kathleen Mav ourneen," received $25 for the produc tion, and afterwards became a begging tramp, while his publisher could have built a brown stone front oat of its sale. "The Star Spangled Banner" was written by Francis Scott Key while watching the bombardment of Fort Mc Henry in 1814. The song was printed in the Baltimore American eight days af ter tho battle under the title of "The de fense of Fort McIIonry." George P. Morris wrote "Woodman, Spare That Tree," because the purchaser of a friend's estate wanted to cut down a tree which his grandfather had plant ed. His friend paid tbe purchaser $10 to spare it. Morris was so touched by the story that he wrote the song. John Howard Payne's "Home, Sweet Home" was written for an opera. It was first sung in the Convent Garden theater at London and made a big hit. One hundred thousand copies were sold the first year, and by tho end of the second its publishers had cleared $10,000 from it, The author of "Maryland, My Mary land" lives at Washington. He writes f;ossipy letters to the Aagusta Chronicle, lis name is James R. Randall, and he is a modest looking dark complexioned man of 40. He was very young when he wrote that beautiful peem. His ideas are broader now. "Hail Columbia" was written by Jos. Hopkinson in the summer of 1798, and it was first called the "President's March." It was always sung when Wash ington came into the theater, and one of the objects of its writing was the culti vation of a patriotic spirit among ; the people of the new republic.
