THE PIONEERS OF BELLEVUE
Michael W. Walker, who died a few years ago, was one of the early pioneers of Bellevue, and his name brings to my recollection several matters that happened during the Presidential election of 1840. At this time Bellevue was a Democratic town—in fact, Eaton county was in the hands of that party, as was also the State. During that campaign Mr. Greeley printed his celebrated paper, called The Log Cabin, in which he dealt out severe blows to the Democrats.
