As wa taid two weeka ago, the "Anylbing lo Beat" policy It a mighty poor policy and the only good thing that can be etid of it it that It seldom wlnt. In tht first pltca the ,lAnything to Beat" policy ia the lut deeper-tie retort of the party that tdopU it. In tdopting 11 that party i* willing lo trample under loot Ita declaration ol prindpla (If it

erer had any), and enter into all sorts of com-promiese tad ooatriraneas for the sake of p i n . II It not only a canfoesion of weaxnta* bat aa acknowledgeaent ol ttaworthinee*. In abendeeing Ita poeition It pablliha to tbe world not only Ita eowtrdioe but giret the world to understand that i a position w u a false one. A lew montha ago the Democratic party of Michigta had a ticket la the fleid and a platform Of prinoiplea upon which It profeseod to etand, a platform in which erery plank w u declared sound by the party that adopted i t The Gneaback party of Michi-gan aleo had a ticket In the Held and a plat-form ounatmoted of entirely different timber

from that of the Demoeratlo party. The Re-publlcxo party of Michigan alao b a l a ticket

in the firl I tnd t plttform upon which It etood tnd fought tnd won, tht taint plttform upon which It h u tlwtye etood, fought tad won. Whtt Is tht sllnttlea to-day 7 We Sad the Democratic party aad Gneaback parly ready to ignore platfome entirely, U aeoea-ssry, ready to emother their ptoftaed pria-cipiea, if neceaesry, ready to haraualat aH differences and on meet tny eondiUaas, 1/ by doingto they can uailo their foeeta into CM grand "Anythlng-to-Beat-paftyn against tha Republicans. A few acatka ago tho On back party met tho elighteat allasioa to a coalition with either of the "oM aoriapt par-

ties," with the moet eoornful oonlempt sad solemn protest. This w u whoa that parly w u In its fast growing Infancy tad before it w u so cruelly blasted by tho chllliag winda of N'orember. Then II* "prindples" weald allow nothing ol the kind—no eoalltiea, ao unholy alllaaoet-Oh no. It was flghliaff for "PBISCTPLE" then and would can tin no to fiiiht for principle, tnd woald not bartor away cue slirer of its platform. To-day wa find that Moses W. Field, tha god-aothar of tbe Greenbsck party of Michigta, has beta through that platform and haa left aotklsi of ft but a few ellren lo be etaek Into Deasi^ cntlc trousen. What eoaet next?

That is both oouventiona will adopt the same ticket and neither ConTenlioc will dare to put anything in ita platform Ikat will offend the other.

THE WORK TO BB DONE.

The fol lowing f rom the Post a n d

Tribune is the r i g h ^ k i n d of talk and

wo hope the recommendatioBS contain-

ed therein will be carr ied o a t :

Tho t ime i t a t h a n d when tho R e p u b -licans of Michigan m u s t enter upon an-other political s t ruggle for t h e control of th is S ta te . Tho p lan of the enemy's campaign, based upon a coalition of the Democrats and Nationals and upon a skillful uso of side issues is a cuan lng mid threutcniog o n e ; a n d t o thwar t It entirely will require vigilance, a c t i n t y , good mauagemcnt, a n d energy enough tu nrouso tho maases of Rspubl ican voters to their danger and their d u t y .

The flnt step in t b e campaign w i a be lliu huidiiig of tho preliminary caucuses imd couuty conventions, to choose delegates to tho S ta te conren tion. Right here, the Republicans wlU tf they enn, make victory s u n , once more . One of the msiu th ings needed to aroase tho public interest, and t o insure snecesa, is to choose a first class s ta te eonyeatlon, composed of tho very best men from ever)- county . If t b e Repnblicana will assemble a t Lansing, on tho 8th of March, suck a body of leading, first class rcproscntative republicans as they sent to t b e Detroit conTention last year, the very effort for t ha f a c t of t h e cal l ing o u t o f s u c h a b o d y o f men will aroaae tho party and fill i t w i t h SBenry a n d zeal. Le t the Itopubllcana of eTery county, then , resoWo to send the i r b e n men as delegates to t h e state conventioa and seo to it tha t t hey are no t only chosen delegates bu t accept tho dut ies of that position and a t tend .

A flrat rata s tato convention will insure a fint rate t i cke t and pla t form.

WbencTcr tho beat men a n p u t forward as l e aden a n d made t o t a k e bold of tbe work, the i r a x a n p l e stira u p everybody else, a n d makea the whole party wide awake a n d earnaat .

Tho noxt important point wlU be t o nominate fint class township t i cke t s . Tbe contest t h i s sp r ing will be preUmi-nnry skirmish to t h e presldentis i s t rag-gle of next year. T h e Republicans cannot afford to th row away any po in t s Lot them, therefore, seo to I t tha t their township and munic ipal t jeke ta a re s t rong personally, politically, a n d i n e rery w a y . Good t icke ts help grea t ly to call out alargOTOte.

If these th ings are done, no coalit ion and no possiblo cllort ot oar caon ie s ,

NUMBEE35

can defeat t h e Rapubllcan p a r t y ; and i t will add one more to its long unbro-ken line of Tlctorioa In t h i s s t a t e .

A mother aat niuiiug at oloa(< of day. By the cradln-lwd where her tirat-liiirii lay; On the dimpled cheek u( that cherub fair Had fallen a ringlet uf gulden hair. And thither a truant auiibeam atravnl, And long with that beautiful trea* it played, Till it faded awny in tha criinaim We*t, And *unk. liko that iniuicent child, to real. Why trembled a tear in tliat mnther'a eye Aa ahe warbled her •imple lullaby. And her aoui-felt prayer, ou tho breath uf

eren. Went up to tho throne nf hor Oud in heaTcn?

Can ye fathom the ocean, dark and deep, Where the mighty ware* in their grandeur

•leep— Or number tho radiant orb* abore? Ahl then may ye fathuin amutlier'a lore. That pearly tear waa a gem more fair Than the ruby or the diamond rare; For il told what language could nc>r rereal— A lore which a muther alone can feel.

From tbe fount of life and aource of light. From tbe aacred 6eld* of Elrainm bright, Throogb the clondle** depth* of ethereal blue,

Suickly the form of an angel flew. hi aoft wa* the breath of the balmy air

A* il fell the touch uf bla pinion* fair, Laden with odor* aweet from flowcra Of amaranth-cradled in Kden^a bower*. A tear waa atill in that mother'* eye Aa ahe warbled her aimple lullaby; For ibe looked on tho angel form that amilcd On the cherub face of her aleeping child.

And ahe heard tho low mnaio of hcarenl Wooing the aonl of her darling boy.

" l"y

There were anxiooa thought* in her throbbing hreaal

Aa bia parted lip« to her own were preaaed. A moment hia eye grew atrangely bright. Then eloaed in a long and l u t goodnight; Tbe angel of mercy, the child ol lure. Together had llown to tho realm* abore.

T h e s e iwlnts, a t first flash, may not seem of importance, b u t they are well w o r t h t h i n k i n g abou t by those w h o have b i l l small places.
