Barkworth's Battle-front

The future democratie congressman, Thomas E. Barkworth of Jackson, paid Ana Arbor a visit last Friday, and remained over night, making the Cook house his head quarters. He made many calis about the city, and was also very generally called upon at the hotel, by both democrats and republicans. If there were any in either party who harbored a doubt of Mr. Barkworth's mettle, either as a man or a statesman, or feit misgivings as to the fight he would be able to put up, all uncertainty was dispelled in the brief conversation of a few minutes. Mr. Barkworth is by profession a lawyer, and comparatively a young man. He is in the pink of physical health, armed with facts, primed with argument, and quite ready to meet oppositiou, from whatever quarter. The opposition debater who fools with Tom Barkworth will find to his cost that the little Jacksonian is loaded. His physique is somewhat below medium, his hat a Derby, his eyes pale blue and unflinching; his mouth expressive of determination, his countenance an argument before he speaks, and his general appearance that of one who regards himself as nierely one of the people, but one, also, who can be found at the front in fierce fight, if need be, for the rights of the commonality. Such is the man whom the democracy have selected to be their congressional Standard bearer for the second district. He will be elected.
