Mr. Jacobs Complimented

Jos. T. Jacobs, the hustling Ann Arbor merchant, who has had an eye on the congressional course for some time, and trained a bit with a view of going into the race, last Thursday announced his intention to attend to business and keep out of the race. He gave no reason for withdrawal, but pulled out and declares that he will be neutral as between the other aspirants, Allen and Sawyer. This leaves him the field two years henee. He proves as far sighted in politics as in business, and wisely decided to invest in no rash venture. Mr. Jacobs is a genial, wide-awake, tireless worker, exceedingly popular, and many a democrat will support his own nominee now, who would have feit in duty bound to put an X before Joe's name had he been on the ticket. -
