A Good Man For Auditor General

Several of the papers of the state are BügBged, very laudably, in bringing forward aooepUble catididates for the considerntion of the state convention, and uwny Rood ones have been susrgested. Among Uie extra good names, we notice that of Col. Oscar A. Janes, of Hillsdale, for the office of Auditor General, the position now so acceptably filled by our hlgtaly esteemfd citizen, Maj. Wm. C. Stevens. Col. Junes is well known thlOttghoat the state, has a record is clean and clear as the air on a brlght May morning after a line shower has puritied it, and baring let't one arm on asouthern battle-field, is obliged to make the reniaining arm earn his subslstence and advancement, a thing in which he has been remarkably suecessful. We can xWc our readers no better disOliption and idea of the man than by quotinj? what some of the papers of the state have had to say about hiui. The PentwatM News has this to say ol him: Thisfall it becomes necessary for the repubHenil party to act with extreme care iu making seiectlons for responstble posltlons on the stule ticket. We must have men whoe paHt records are such us wlll requlre no defense ; who wlll add strength to the ticket by reasou of thelr niñeas for the position for which tliey are candldates rather than the money they represent. It is bralns, honesty and eillèleney tliat the times demand, not mouey or caucus lnttueuce. The Bay City Tribune thlnks it has lound Just such a man In the persun of Osear A. Janes, of HlllHdale, and present hls name as a suitable candidato lor the office of Auditor General. At the close of the war, while atteudiuu rilllsdale College we reiuember Capt. Janes entering college and the respect whicti his empty sleeve exclléd. Slnce those college days our paths have liverged but we have frequeutly heardof hlni throiigh the press, as he has beeu advanced Ironi mie positiou of honor lo auoiher. To the G. A. II. of Die state no name is more familiar than that of Captain Janes, Department Commander for 18x3. He was for 8 years Judge of Probate for Hillsdale county, and is now Master of the (irand Ijodue of Michigan, I. O. O. F., auU 1). U. Urandi baooenorof Uie Knlght of Pytliias. A gentleman of unblemlshed charaoter and a record Umi ncedsiiu defense. l'ecullarly qualIfled for the poaltion Captain Janes would make a strong aud a good candidato. Altei quoüng the abovu the Ilillsdale Standard adda tliis: As wlll be seen by the above artlcle, the Bay City Tribune, J'entwater News, aud we might add the tHargil Journal, aud other papen rn the state have named.or eudorsed. Col o. A. Janes of thls city, as a proper nomiix ¦(¦ l.r Auditor Oeuenil. While hls name bas been tned without sollotlatlon and the compltment wll ilserved and gratlfylng to repobllomns in Hillsdale county, who have Deep and are at the present time, and none more heartily than Is Ooi. Janes, advocallng the candldacy of Senator Smith, of thls counly. for the Uoveruorship with true earnestneM and Impe of success, which would of courae roreatall any other omination on the -iiae tloket from thls county. We endorse Hll i luwe papers say in regard to Col. Janes, Who li ix always heen a consistent and unwaverlDg republlcan, and from the time he , ist liis Hrsl vol he has been promlnently lilcutitled as a worker In the ranks of the p;uty iu every campalgn, which bas won for him au envlable popularity. not only at bome, bat iu other parts of the late wbere he is known. 'l'hc Jimesville Independent refera to his candidacy in this way: The frlends or Mr. Janes In thls counly wciuKl pleftaed to see O. A. notulnated for thc poalUOD of Auditor General, and hls n in inulhm would in our opinión add to the mi.nkUi of the eniire ticket, he wlll poll in. .ie tlmn his party vote wherever known, and his etcqatlnuuioe throughout the state Is extanslve. WiUi sucli ;i man as Maj. Minor S. Newellj of Plint, for Govemor, and Col. Junes for Auditor General, the ticket would hMe :i 'Vi'iid ofl" on the start that would s'iid it boomiiig on to certain victo iy. ____ The soiilli bad better accept somethings U settled forever, and one of them is the "lost cause" of human elavery. Tlie south belt er let tlie bloody shirt lie buried. Tliey should not be so niiicli elated over having control of ttie government now, ns to believe for a minute thut they can re-enact the scènes of 1860 under Buchnnan. They hold up their lieiuls in holy horror if a northern man refere to the attcmpt of armcd traitors to destroy this govertunent, and shout about letting the past be bartod, and yet they haul that old arch traitor Jeff Davis out of his hole, trot li m all over the south, cover Iiitn with the stars and bars, and look up to liini as a God to be worshiped. If they are not wavinjr the bloody shirt we should like to know what mich actions are. The editor of The Coukiku belng in Washington a year ajro List February, noticed that many of the messengers and and hall galde were one-armed or onelegged. They were ex-Union soldiers. Whlla in Washington this year their abgenee was quite noticeahle, slnce a democratlo admlntotratlon has replaced them. Bince during the last few days we have been payinf our attentíon to thedead soldiara let n now turn to the living ones and Ke t') It that the ncxt administra! ion shall be one that will reeoirnize and rewaid loyalty ruther thaa turn out old soldicrs. EldlMge the Congressman from this district, deólea tliat he is a candidato for le-noininiition. Nevertheless, it is understood thnt it is well "putup" for him around the district.
