it is told the Argus on seemmgly good authority,that a large fund of money has been raised for the purpose of influencing enough demo crats to vote for Judge Kinne to re elect him. Such a fund could root readily be raised because that hi election would, under the presen circumstances, do more than any one thing to destroy the democratie majority in Washtenaw, and to absolutely defeat the election of a democratie candidate for congress in this democratie district. The repubhcans understand that there is politics in this election, if the democrats do not. So straight is the story told that it is asserted on apparantly good grounds, that a very large sum is to be placed in the hands of two democrats for the purpose of causing one of our strongest democratie towns to give a good majority for the republican candidate for circuit judge, and another large sum is to be placed in the hands of another well-known man to distribute where it will do the most good. The republicans effect to believe that the votes of Germán democrats can be purchased. We do not believe it, and we only refer to it for the purpose of showing the desperate lengths to which the republican are prepared to go to accomplish the election of a can circuit.judge, and to disrupt the democratie party. All sorts of rumors are being circulated by designing politicians. We have, on good authority, the further fact that between now and election, but too late for the deraocrats to effectually deny them, circulars in both English and Germán are to be circulated, containing attacks upon Mr. Gilday. These circulars will undoubtedly be insiduously worded, but if they were truthful, the facts would have been given to the public before this. Never before, in the history of this county, have the republicahs been making such herculean efforts at a spring campaign. Every good democrat should put in his best efforts to defeat the fine laid republican schemes, and to defeat the use of boodle in elections.
