Our County Ticket

Our county ticket this year is such a strong one in all its parts that even the Courier, the strongest Republican paper in the distrist is forced to commend the nominees. The Courier says: Mr. Babbitt, as judge of probate, has filled the office well, and there has been no complaint from the mndreds of people with whom he las had to deal in the often delicate ask of settling up estates. To be ure he has hadabrainy,experienced nd gentlemanly deputy, but itisn't very office holder who is smart nough to keep such an aid about lim. County Clerk Brown was elected against a fïerce opposition two years ago, but he has filled the office so well, and kept the records and everything pertaining to his office in such mechanical and neat manner, and has been so accomodating that he has made his enemies his friends. For sheriff, Michael Brenner is one of the best hearted of the many large hearted Germán citizens of Ann Arbor. Andrew T. Hughes, of Scio, for register of deeds, has been supervisor of his town for a number of years, and is one of the kind who makes friends. He is well aualified for the office to which he aspires, and belongs to the class known as "hustlers." Paul G. Suekey, for county treasurer, is perhaps the least known among the people of the county of all the candidates. He is a highly educated gentleman, speaking both of his native tongues fluently, and is quite aptly acquiring the English language. He was hired by the Democratie national committee four years ago to make speeches in German in other parts of the country, and it is understood that he has made a very favorable contract with the committee thisyearalso. Whether the national committee will employ him to make speeches in thiscountv this f all, or not, of course is not known. He has a fine physique and is a bright man intellectually. Thos. p. Kearney for prosecuting attorney is too well known to need an introduction to the public. He has been city attorney, and is a young lawyer who has good ability and many friends. The circuit court commissioners, P. McKernan, of this city, and Tracy Towner, of Ypsilanti, are the present incumbents, as also are coroners, Martin Clark, of Ann Arbor, and Dr. Batwell, of Ypsilanti. There can be little fault found with the personnel of the ticket.
