Albert Gardner the maimed aolilier, is good writer, and would makc a coureous register of deeds. HoBest Injun, now, wouldn't you rather see John P. Lawrence prosecuting attorey of this county titan his competitor ? Wben Ihe southern Ideu predominates n the ilnancial nffiiirs of this country, lien look out for dark days in the northrn States. Do you fully rcalize, my frjend, what chauge in the linancinl affairs of this ation means? And if so are you prepared for it ? The idea of a man who only a short me since called lahoring men " anarclists and communist?," passing now as a 'riend to them ! Whcn 11 poBtmaster of a villagc forhids ('publican papers from circulatin hrough his oilice the party must be Dtghtlly scared. Mr. Stearns haa never yet stated why ie "plead guilty in advance to all crimes n the calendar."" Does an innocent man ever plead guilty ? Julin F. Luwrence Is a man you all [IIOW. He has uo spots or blemishes on ils record. As prosecuting attorney of his county he would be an honor to the county. The Argua published Stcarn's "open etter" to Mr. Rlalne. Now wil! the Argus have the fairness to publisli Mr. ïilaine's reply made in his speech at Adrián. ! If froc trade will make everythint' chuap my laborinff friend, how about the morlgage on your house? Will less wage and cheaper clothes help you to pay thnt ofl'? If 11 of the Kree Press reports are as relieable as its account of the Allen meeting here last Kriday nlgbt, even the deinociats themselves must teel proud of its rtliability. Tue Democrat, In speaking of Mr. Allen's chances, says that whoever the CoüBiER favors is Btire to be defeated. ir tliat be true, why does the editor of the Democrat keep scoldlng away at ua ? Senator Blutr, of New Hampshire, was rotten egged at a political meeting down in Cliarlottusville. Virginia, a few days since, where he went by invlutlon to speak on the tariff. Nobloody sliirt down there! Oh, no! IIow pleasant it is for bretheren to dweil together In unity. Kisk and Brooks, Jerry Falvey and the Free Pres?- all in the samo pew and sinjring the same pongs. Beautlfnl thoagbt Chnn1ng spectacle. - Detroit Tribune. Over $57,000,000 of government money have been heen depo-ited with banks in the east, without interest. It la hoped by thM move toconciliateenourh prominent business men to stop the eoiitinual desertlons to the republicr.n party. "We can work the pontofflces to our advantage," wrote Chulriimn WWtrM lo National Democrat heaiUiuarters. And they are worklug them hard- Detroit 1 rlbune. Yes, even to forbidding republiean papers from clroolatlng thiough them. Henry S. Gregory, ¦ prominent Detroit democrat, has come out for Harrison and MortOB. We have on hand a list of some three columns of these converts, in addition to the six or eiglit columns alriatly published in the Couuikh, which we can publish if desirable. The Adrián Press, published by Willard Stearns, ealled the C,000 bborlng men who signed a paper to support Henry A. Robiii8ou for congress in the lt district two years ago, " anarchists and communists." Has Mr. Stearns experieneed a ckange of beurt since then ': The editor of the Ypsilanti St'iitincl speaks of Anna Dickinson and Fred Doulas8 aa "foislls," nd ns "rlllnK memories of a paft generalion." It tbat be true, pray what would you culi the of thp"Sentiiiil, and of what generation woukl he "recall memorie Jacob H. Martin would malte an excellent sheriff and attend to the duties of the office in a prompt and efficiënt manner. And there are many people wlio would üke to see him residing in the nice resldence furnisbed by county for that official, after Jan. lst next. Geo. S. Wheeler would make as good a judge of probate as ever filled that office in üiis county. Strictly honest, a man of pure moral lift', incorruptible In his dealings With his fel'.ow men, he possesses all the e8seutml qualilieations of a good judge of probate, and ought to be elected. We nsk every calm, sensible, thinking man in Wasbtenaw county, if there is any comparison to be made between the two eandidates for prosecuting attorney in luis county? Is not Mr. Lawrence immeiisurably superior in every essential qualifleation for that position ? WouU it not be wise then, on your part, to elee the man who eau perform the dnties o tliis, one of the most important offices in the uounty, In an acceptable manner without fear or favor? The statement of Mr. Stearns that Mr Blaine oppofed a tariff on lumber in con gress In 1808 is on a par with all the res of his cainpaign slusli. Mr. Blaine op posed an internal revenue tax on lumbe and opposes that now. Mr. Stearn either told a willful falsehood, or he wa too ignorant to know the difference be twee an internal revenue tax and a tar ift'. But few men wil) believe that h doesn't know that dlffirence. The senatorial convention for Monro and Washtenaw counties, met at th court house this p. m. and unaniinously nominated Clark Cornwell, of Ypsilanti, for state senator. The following committee was appointed : J. W. Morris, Grape, Monroe co., Gen. Geo. Spaulding Monroe; H. S. Boutelle, Ypsilanti; Clias. E Hiscock and F. 1?. Braun. Anti Arbor. Clark Cornwell is the hustling ex-Miyor of Yp-ilnnti, and a man who never sleeps on the post of duty. At tlift 47th annuiil convention of tlie East Pennsylvanla Germán Lutlieran Synod, held in Phlladelphla, week before last, tlie fnllowing resolución was adopted " We, as a Christian liody, realizlng our responsibility, will continue to do our utmost to nboHsh the rum traftic. We look witli favor upon every organiz .-itioi which as an educator is wnrking In tlie iuterrsts of temporalice, and also favor any lejrislation wliicti will in any waj lead to the flnal enaetment and enforcement of reiisonable and scrlpturul prohibitoiy law." Because tlie Codhiek stands up for what it believes to be rlght, and tijihts politicully aguinst soutlieni dictation, and because its editor defends hiinself against cli irijcs of füheliood preferred in a public meetine, the Ypnilanti Bentinel says the paper is "mean." Iftherei9 ¦ paper i" Mm etate that can say meaner things tlian the Si-ntinel, In a keener or raore scatliing inanner, we should like to know whtt oue it is. If it is "mean" to liylit a gcviid tijílit for one'8 own convictions, and piy a btackguard off in his own coln, tbn "nii'iin" we are, for that's wlmt we shiill do eveiy day in tlie week, it re can. Whlle OlevelancVs predecc-ssors iu 23 years had only vetoed 8 pension billa he las killoil :m "liills for iienslons in 4} j'ears. Gen. Vander Voort the past Sommaiider-ln-Cliief of the G. A. H. has ezamioed those hills and knows that nearly all should have been allowed. But toadd to the insults to tbs oldtime defeDders of the Union the vetoes are accompanied by slurring rcni;iiks. The )i)U had purscd a democratie house and as the St. Clalr lieptiblican says; Jf ['resident Cleveland was right in these vctocs, then tha (leniocrittic Ijoue was wron and is unlit to be trusted. On the other üand if tlie democratie house was right in passing these bijl", the prisilent'a vetoe are wrous and Jje is unvoriliy of oonfldeooe.
