Washtenaw county is solid for silver. The county funds will be safe in the hands of George J. Mann. Bryan and silver will be the choice of the people on next Tuesday. Alfred Davenport will make an efficiënt and obliging register of deeds. No one can teil how you vote, when you get in the booth vote as your conscience dictates. If the voters are careful in marking their ballots Michigan' will go 60,0i0 for Bryan and silver. E. A. Nordman will make the farmers of Washtenaw couniy a creditable represen tative in the legislature. Don't forget the county silver ticket. Th ey are all good, conscientious and capable men and are worthy of your support. John A. McDougall is one of the intelligent, thinking farmers of this county. He will make a strong member of the senate. Put your X in the little cirele under the silver dollar and you will make no mistake. You will catch Bryan, Barkworth and all the rest. Hirain Lighthall, the tall pine of Chelsea, will be the next sheriff of Washtenaw county, and will be elected on his personal nierits. The amount of harmóny that prevails in local republican circles is not Tiewed as a thing of beauty and joy forever by some of the candidates on the gold ticket. John P. Kirk's administraron of the office of prosecutor will insure the public that no guilty man shall escape and that the expenses of that office shall not be unnecessarily increased. A district of the size and importance of the second congressional is eutitled to have a representative at Washingr ton whose ideas of finance are not measured by the discount on a 30-day note. The democrat who leaves the de,mocraey this year has no conception of the true principies of the democratie faith. He is at heart a republiean and should go straight over to that camp. ___________ All thinking men who have an honest and intelligent desire to alleviate the coudition of humanity will vote for William Jennings Bryan next Tuesday. Just put a cross under the silver dollar. The "Repubiiean aid society'' headed by "Palmer and Buekner" and tailed by John V. Sheehan, com man tier in chief for Washtenaw county, will go out of business on November 8rd. Gen. Spaulding seems to have deposited his theory of " safe " bimetalism in his Monroe bank to the credit of John O. Zabel. At all events Zabel seems to have seen the safe side of somebody's bimetalism. Don't be deceived by the assistant republican ticket which is wrongfully headed "Democratie ticket." The silver ticket has a silver dollar at the head. The way to vote it is too put the cross in the circle under the picture of the silver dollar. The so called gold democratie ticket has no county ticket. If you make a mistake and put your X on that ticket thinking it is the real ticket you will not vote for county officers. Be careful. The silver ticket is the last one on the sheet - the one on the right hand side. The abuse and vituperation that the gold people are unloading just now is suffleient proof that their arguments (?) have been found wanting. It is also a proof of the desperate straights to which they are put to carry the election. People who haye a sure thing don't get mad and cali ñames. The man who thinks the gold party has got the Germán vote of Washtenaw corralled is talking through his hat. The Germans are a thinking poople. They know that the gold standard has ruined the ürosperity of the farmer and the workingman and they will vote for a change. Sized up in all its different hearings the question to be decided by the electors of this great republic on November 3rd may be tersely stated to be "Shall this continue to be a government of the people, by the people and for the people, or a government of the people, by monopolies, corporations and trusts for monopolies, corporations and trusts?" The man who votes the republican ticket this fall beeause he believes in the gold standard at least knovvs what hè is doing; the man who votes that ticket for any other reason is throwing away his vote. The honest goldite will vote the republican ticket. There is no middle ground and consequently there is no excuse for the called National Democratie ticket. John V. Sheehan boasts that he has $400 ot Mark Hamia's money to speed in Washtenaw county. ïhe knowledge that the republican managers have put money into the hands of the so called gold democrats ought to set men to thinking. Is it for the purpose of advancing the prosperity of the farmer and the working man that these representatives of the moneyed aristocracy are aiding each other? Chas. R. Sligh, silver candidate for governor had the courage of his convictions and left the republican party after it adopted the gold platform at St. Louis. Beside this record the vacillating course of Hazen S. Pingree is pitiable in the extreme. Even the intelligent gold man must admire a man who has the courage to hold an opinión. Pingree has not been the possessor of an opinión since be came into politics that was built to catch votes. Organized labor is for Bryan. There are 7,000,000 of them. The farmers are for Bryan. There are 5,000,000 of them. The bankers are against Bryan. There are 20,000 of them. The private coachmen are against Bryan. There are 9,000 of them. The millionaires are against Bryan. There are 4,000 of them. Will the prosperity of the country be best conserved by providing for the twelve million farmers and workingmen or the thirty thousand bankers, millionaires and coachmen V Which crowd are you with? The democratie ticket on the Australian ballot is the last one on the right. Don't be deceived by the ticket in the second column headed "Democratie," with a flag for a vignette. That is not the democratie ticket but the Palmer and Buckner, assistant republican ticket, and a vote cast for it is thrown away. There is no county ticket underthis so called democratie ticket. A X put under the silver dollar at the head of the last column to the right votes the whole Silver Democratie ticket straight. After November 3rd those eminently respectable and patriotic democrats whose condescending association has in former years given tone and character to a party which has always been composed largely of plain comrnon people, but have of late been identified with the proceedings of a certain questionable organization known as the Republican Aid Society, will be outcasts in the political world. Mark Hanna will then have done with them and the silver democrats- well the silver democrats never did have any use for any mugvvumps anyway.
