No I have not written Andrew Gibson for a long time but shall very soon, have kept writing it off in order to get a picture to send him that he wanted. It doesn't seem to me the XII Club Ball could have been up to any of its preceding ones - am sorry that are not Keeping them up to standards. I suppose before I get an answer to this letter election will be over + we shall know which party is victorious. I noticed the illusion[sic] to "Gentle Annie" in the "Press" but did not know what it meant. Am glad you explained. Brackett is a "chump." They are trying to get Prohibition in Mich. + will vote on it in a special election this spring but don't think they will carry it. The "Press" seems to be doing the "Age" up in great shape. Notice in the Press of 1st, under "News of the Creek" that the Michigan Club of Detroit has soured on [James G.] Blaine because he was not here to the Banquet on Febr 22nd - While everyone was sorry Mr. Blaine could not be here, he gave couple reasons for not coming - the Mich. Club is one of the most, if not the most powerful Republican organization, outside of the Lincoln Club in Chicago, in the West it is solid for Blaine - I would like to see Blaine + [Russell Alexander] Alger (gov. RA) (of Detroit) nominated. Please tell Emery that the Club has not soured on Blaine. The weather is very disagreeable, has been raining all day + yesterday it snowed - Write first chance am quite busy at present. With regards to all friends. Your affec. son, Ralph Emery
