The democrats should redeera Michigan this spring. Let all put their shoulders to the wheel and the work is done. Kdward R. Gilday, our nominee for circuit judge, made a most excellent impression while in our city, this week. He is too good a man for democrats to cut from their ticket, and every day he is growing in strength. Judge Durand is the cleanest cut man who has been run for Supreme Court judge in many a year. The Democrats never had a better ticket than this spring. It is the kind of a ticket, which should cause glorious old Democratie Washtenaw to roll up her biggest majority. The Monroe Deraocrat has the following concerning our nominee for circuit judge: By referring to the proceedings of the 22d judicial convention, it will be seen that Hon. E. R. Gilday, of this city, was named as the democratie candidate for circuit judge. In our opiniĆ³n the convention voiced the sentiments of the democracy of this district, and the nomination will le ratified at the polls next month. Mr. Gilday is a man of honorable characteristics, and about whom there is no scant information. He was born in this county; hewas raised in this county: he married in this county; he has always lived in this county. His lite has been as an open book. He is a shrewd judge of men, and has alwayi been engaged in a profession in which shrewd men are the participants. He is a man of rare endowments; thoroughly versed in the practice of the law, and withal a gentleman of liberal culture and of high moral and social worth. His experiences in public life since he graduated from the law department of the University of Michigan, have been in direct training for the bench. He has a masterf ui grasp of the theories and practices of common law, and a comprehensive knowledge of equities which leads to that mean of construction through which the causes of justice are served. As a lawyer he has made his mark as a close reasoner and keen analyzer. He is in the prime of manhood and has been prominent at the bar as a lawyer, and in the county and state as a political leader and adviser. His ability is recognized thoroughly by his own party and by his opponents; and he is held in high esteem by the leaders of both, and recognized as the one who rallied the party for Mr. Gorman both times he ran for congress, and demonstrated i the way to victory and large majorities. His manner is such as make men warm toward him, and he always reserves his cold shoulder for the despicable. His democracy is j unquestioned; yet he has the j tation of being decidedly fair and j conservative, and during his career j as prosecuting attorney, mayor of our city, and member of the school board, politics cut no figure with him. If elected to the position for which he has been named by his party, the lawless will not be allowed to stretch their tiger claws in the streets and alleys of his jurisdiction.
