Popular Sentiment Against the
Administration.
MAY COME UP THIS SESSION.
Washington, Feb. 21. The Hep
burn Nicaragua canal bill may pass
thlsseBsion. The privilege asked by
Hepburn yesterday, that the bill be
brought up early in Maroh for dlsous-
slon, appeared to be favorably received
and the dissent of Congressman Can
non, of Illinois, presumed to be acting
for the administration, created much
comment, and It is probable the ad
ministration will allow the bill to come
up before the session closes. If tiie
bill comes toa vote it will become a
law.
Admiral Dewey says that in the
event of the canal being built, no for
tifications will be necessary at either
end, as the TJ. S. navy will be sufficient
protection.

to a call by G. W. Wliitxett, a member
of the couuty central ooipmtttee for
Saginaw precinct, a number of demn-
orats, populists, etc, met and completed
temporary organization of a democratic
club in Saginaw on Feb. 2nd lust.
Adjourned to meet for permanent
organization. Fet. 8th.
Tbe club met Feb. Bth nud completed
its organization. G. N. Castle was
elected permanent chairman, aud John
L. Riggs, secretary, witli a roll of 50
members, who pledged their support
to the principles enunciated iu the
Chicago platform, with a cordial
invitation to all parties who believed
in the Chicago platform to join us
regardless of past party affiliations, and
adjourned to Feb. 10.
The club met Feb. 16, with its
respective officers iu their positions.
After routlue business was transacted.
communications were read aud ac
knowledged, including a club copy of
the Guard, for which thanks were
duly rendered to ye editor of same, for
his courtesy.
Adjournment taken to March 2nd,
at which time we will have able
speakers to address us on tbe issues of
tbe day. We cordially invite tbe pub
llo to attend our meetings at aiy and
all times, regardless of age, sex or
previous conditions. Our regular
meeting nights are tbe first aud third
Fridays of eaoh mouth. Drop In. Our
membership roll 1b steadily increasing
and tbe utmost harmony prevails. The
general sentiment seems to be, give us
any party name at head of our princi
ples and we are with you. We Bland
ready to extole the true principles of
democracy as laid down by all good
men, like Jackson or Lincoln, or any
man who stood for America and tbe
neonle, but all the people and not a
favored class.
We were unfortunate in not securing
speakers for our last meeting, our
talent failed us at tbe last moment, too
late to make other arrangements.
Saginaw will contribute largely to
the result of the election In Lane coun
ty, owing to the vast number of men
employed in the lumbering industry
at this place. We extend tbe hand of
fellowship to all co-laborers in the cause
of the common people.
Yours truly,
