República n papers all over the state are bringing out oandidatea for this stae office ami tliat oue, sume of whoin would be an honor to the p:irty. The most important thing for the republicans to do 9 to gemí thelr very best men to the Grand Kupids convention; men wlio do not go there In the interest of thls candidate or that one, but in the interest of the republican party regrardless of candldates. If the party does that there is no danser of the ticket which will be put in the field. It will be a good ticket and it will be elected. The animal re-union and military encampment of the Tri-State Veterans' and Militia Association, of the states of Ohlo, Indiana and Michigan, will be held at Fort Wnyne, Indiana, August I9th to 23d inclusive. Tents and rations will be furnisheil all veterans and militia who join the association. The Governor of Indiana is president, and the Governors of Ohio and Michigan are vice-presidents of the association. It Is expected tliat tliis re-union will be the grandest military display witnessed since the surrender at Appomattox and grand review at Washington in 18G5. Everybody invited. The elections which are now taking place in Qreat Britain on the question of Home Rule for Ireland, so far as they have progressed, look d'scouraging tor that principie, lint one thing is demon - strated already that the Parnellites will practically have the balance of power again in the Commons on all questlons save th is one of Home Rule, and no minIstry formeel in opposition to that vital issue in English politics can long exist. There will be another dissolution and another election shortly If Mr. Gladstone is defeated now - a thing not at all certain as j'et. If the democrats want a good candidate for governor they can lind him rlght here in Ann Arbor. A man who would stand head and shouklers above the average of his party. A man who would be a credit to the state as governor. A man who hal all the elements of popularity. A man who would do right should he be choson to that office. He is not a mugwump, he is a pure democrat, but he is one who rises above his party and ought to be a republlcan, and would have been had he listencd to the wise teachlngs of his most excellent father. If Don DicklnRon & Co. would like to know who he Is, they can be informed by applying at this office. The editor of the Saline Observer calis the lovers of base ball sports "cranks." Why term thera " cranks ?" Wliy not cali them "spheriods," or something new? But isn't this idea of terming people who take a warm interest in any particular sport or pasttime "cranks," a little over done. Base ball is certninly prefermbla to prize fightlng, and many tblilk to horscracingalso. It isessentially the American rame and we like to see people take an interest in it. ü. M. Ferry's name bas been hoisted by an interior journal for the next prohibition candidato as governor. Mr. Ferry says, however, that be does not believe in taking the temperance question luto politics. He thinks prohibitionists would have done better in the last campaign by not raaking a separate politica] organization. These views will probably result in lowertng Mr. Ferry's name froni the prohibition standards. - Evening News. The Argus bringsout the name of Capt. Chas. H. Manly of thia city tor Sccretary of State on the democratie ticket. Well, the Captain would make a good one, but then, you know the republicana propose to put a man in that place. If Chas. H. only belonged to the right party now, we should be pleased to rive liim ¦ Iiir boom for the office. We would u(?i?et that the Ann Arbor CouBtKB revise its miip of Michigan. By liMikniK at it.

It's "a grat licad, " Mr. Sun, and an old stand-by. The Detroiters nre probubly HUI of tlie fact that Mr. York, as an umpire is not extremely paitial to the Detroit club. In fact some of his decisions have been rank, and ouffht to liave made the face ot even a basswood Intiian nseil for a tobáceo sign blush. j
