The Courier last week spoke of the "county boss" of the Democrats in Washtenaw. Who is he, Mr. Courier? If the Democrats have a county boss they want to know it. The general public know who the Republican boss in this county is, but they are in dense ignorance as to who the Democratie boss is. The Hillsdale Leader, a Republican organ, adds to the harmony existing in the Republican circles by the following remarks: Ex-Gov. Luce, of Branch county, would like to become a member of the U. S. Senate. He has feit this way, periodically, for some years. Shades of "Old Zach," the Howards et al. of great men defend us! "The office should seek the man" etc; yet the old man has been standing on the street corners lo! these many days with fife and bugle for the single tune, "Here I am; cali me." Will some one kindly suggest why he should be called? The canipaign in Indiana will be a warm one. Already preparations are being made for a big Democratie barbecue at Shelbyville, Ind., at which fifty cattle and hundreds of calves and sheep will be slaughtered. The next vice-president is down for a speech, as are Carlisle, Breckenridge, Hill, Vilas, Gray, Boies, Cochran, Voorheis, and many other prominent Democrats. The committee are making preparations to entertain over 6o,ooo visitors. It will prove a barbecue long to be remembered in Indiana. The Courier, of this city, is forced to admit that Morse is not of light calibre, and it bases its opposition to him solely on the ground that Rich is a farmer and Morse a lawyer. It is true that Morse is a lawyer, and such a good one that he is the present chief justice of the state of Michigan, a position in which his decisions have ahvays been in favor of the people and against monopolistic greed and corporate selfishness. Rich, on the other hand, is a political farmer, a ing candidate for the republican nomination for governor, a position he could not get until as railroad commissioner he had shown his complete subserviency to the railroads. The record of the two men is such that Morse's majority for governor is apt to be a large one.
