Mr. Hogers being a now rosidont and tho candidato of " a little private ring," and also magniñcs tho service of his opponent, J. Weuster Ciiilds. Mr. EogEBS is a citizen, an elector, and oligiblo to the office. That is all tho law roquires. He is a gentleman of culture, a lawyor of ability, and possesses the elements of a legislatox that are needed in tho Sonate Chamber. Sinco his nomination he has mado himself favorable known to the Do - mocracy of tho coimty, and tho G'iturier is wasting its powder in its dribbling and insano attacks upon him. - Now as to his opponent. Is a mira who refuses to recognize and oboy the Laws as expounded and interpeted by tho Supremo Court, a fit man to mako the laws 'i J. Webster Ciiilds persisted in holding a seat in tho Senato alter the Supremo Court had decided the soldiers' voting law unconstitutional, and thus branded himself as a null'fii r of the law of the State. This ho did whon more than his majority, COtmting the soldiers' vote, iras made vp of illegal votes had the law been held coiutitutionttl, rote cast hy soldiers neter Jiacing a residence in the district. It does not lielp him that the Constitution malees each branch of the Legislatura tho judgu of the election and qualific.ations of its own members. It is the judge under the law, and though thero is no method of appeal from its decisión, it is and ought to be governed by the construction the Supremo Court of the State puts upon the laws. James Clekkotb, Esq., of this city, then a Ropublican, now branded as a "sorehead" because he supports Greei.ey, held a seat in the House by the samo soldiers' votes, bowed to tho decisión of tho Supreme Court, resigned his seat and camo homo. The greed of Cim.ns for offico would not allow him to act so honorably. Ought ho to bo elcctcd now? To tote for Grant next Tuesday is to voto for the perpotuation of the uncon - stitutional legislation of tho past four years, for the continuance of the semimilitary and carpet-bag rulo with which tho country is afflicted, and for fasteuing upon the Treas'jry corrupt custom-houso and other rings. Then don't give it. To vote for WaXDBOK is to indorse tho bad legislation of Congress, legislation in the interest of monopolies instead of the poople, in favor of seetional hate instead of peace. Then don't give it. To voto for Bagley is to indorso a State financial policy which koeps an averago balance in tho Treasnry of $"")(),- 000 for tho benefit of pet banks. Then don't givo it. Fuaxk JOSLIir, tho Democratie nominoe for Clerk, is just the niau for that office, and i f clected will dischargo the dutios incumbent upon him intolligently, courteously and foithfnlly. Ho ought to recoive a full voto. Espccially do we commend him to the clectors of Ann Arbor and vicinity. If Bepublican canvassers solicit your vote for his opponent on tho score of locality, osk them if they want tho local test applied to thoir favorites in other portions of tho county. Locality should be put entirely out of tho question on election day. YoTE FOB FRAXK Joslin. TllREATS como up from here and thcro an ultra "straight" in different sections of tho county, that tho "straights" will one and all give tho county tickot a. cold shoulder, and that any Democratie supporter of GUEELEY will bo cut. This policy will bear sleeping on. To take such a course is certain to breed trouWe for tho future, simply to gratify the spite of a few men who assume to lead tho "straight" faction. Think twice before carrying out these threals and playing into the hands of ltepublicau candidatos for eounty offices or members of the Legislaturc, is the advicc wo give just now.
