From the Adrián Press. We chroniole the defeat of John J. Eobison with exceeding regret. We regret it all the'niore froin the fact that he ought to have been elected. No man would better have represedted the interests of our district than he. True there was scarcely a chance for hope even, before the election, but it seems that Mr. Waldron left no stone unturned, and he seoured his election more from absolute treaobery on the part of those who should have stood true, and from the vote of certain men who always wish to keep on the right side of every body and who thought there could be no harm voting for one whose election they regarded as absolutely certain. Monroe county did not do her duty, and we observe that the Monitor takes certain Democratie leaders sharply to do for their contemptible work, in selling out to Waldron. Mr. Waldron got himself upon the Prohibition ticket in Hillsdale county, and thus managed to squeeze into Congress again. Mr. Eobison has made a splendid run, and we are proud of him, and the voice of old Lenawee will give him the comforting assurance that hor people were true, and that the slanderous attacks upon his record were not heeded.
