"and Then There Were Two."

The story of the "Ten Little Indians" is beginning to be repeated. One after another the "incipierit" republican congressional candidates drop out. Some have wilted in Lenawee; one or two have fallen by the wayside in Jackson county, and it has now struck Washtenaw. Hon. Joe T. Jacobs, in an interview with the Evening News and also with the Daily Times, yesterday, formally withdrew his name, "and then there were two". It is no disparagement to the remaining Washtenaw aspirants to remark that no citizen of the county has a fairer name, or is more worthy of the honors of official position than J. T. Jacobs. Asked by the News what he had to say of his withdrawal, Mr. Jacobs replied that he remembered what a friend once said to him: "What you don't say won't have to be answered." "And then there were two." The triangular contest in Washtenaw being ended, the Argus suggests that for the safety of the pair that is left, they be dehorned.
