Something Of A Campaigner

    Thursday's Evening News says :

   It may be well for the Pingree people who have set out to defeat Supreme Justice Grant for renomination to bear in mind the fact that the judge is what might be called "no slouch" of a campaigner himself. As long ago as the palmiest days of Zach Chandler, that somewhat powerful boss sent word out among the faithful that one, Claudius BJ Grant, must  not be nominated for the legislature in Washtenaw county. Claudius bagged the nomination in spite of this powerful opposition, and he did it handily, too. Then, it is asserted, old Zach. allowed as how Grant should not be elected, but the official records show that the latter was a member of the next succeeding legislature. The manner in which the republican newspapers of the upper peninsula are rallying to Judge Grant's support indicates that he is likely to come down with that section solidly behind him, and he has hosts of friends all over the lower peninsula. The race bids fair to be a pretty one.
