There are 77 young ladies the and gentlemen Q juuioi class. Next Monday the tax-payers will vote on the proposition of apprópriating $20,0Ü0 for building a new city hall and engine house. The amount asked for may be considered by some loo much to put into a building al the present time, but it must be retnembered the city is growing. It is well knowu by those who have taken the trouble to examine into the matter, that the lire department is cramped for room, and a large amount of property which has been accumuiating for several years and at au expenditure of several thousand dollars, is actually being ruined on ac c lunt of the olJ leaky building in which it is tucked away. "And yet certain persons are so foolish as to believe that the buiiding now used for this purpose is good enough. In the first place it is altogether inadequate, no one can truthfully deny this. U the appropriation asked for is considered too large, those persons should remember that two bridges were built and paid for the past year at an expense of nearly $10,000. Aaron Childs, one of the oldest and most respected citizensof the township of Augusta since 1834, died Suuday of paralysif--. He was born at Henniker, Merriniack couuty. N. H., December 1, 1S0G. He was reared on a farm until he was 17 years o!d, when he learned to weave woolen cloths in a factory at Petersburg where he remained five years, and the n moved to Great Falls, N. H., where he carried on tbii business for one year. From this place he moved to Nashua, remained there a short time, thence to Chautauqua, N. Y., and a year after, in 18'á4,eniigraled to Washtenaw county and eutered 1Ü0 acres of land on sectiou 15. Mr. Childs assisted in the organization of Augusta towuship; the firsl meeting be ing held at his residence. He was elected clerk at the first towuship election, which office he Satisfactorily filled for several years. He was a member of the board of supervisors for 15 consecutive terms and postmaster at Paiut Creek for a considerable length of time. In 1870 he was elected a member of the btate legislatura from this couuty for one term, consistmg of two sessions. Politically he was a firni believer in the principies inaugur ated by Andrew Jackson. He was married April 11, 1833, to Hannah F. Berais. His wife and five children survive him. William K. Childs, sergcaut-at-urms of the Michigan house of representatives, is at present a resident of Ihis city. There is no doubt that mayor Kapp and recorder Douglas will be re-nominated by the democratie city convention Saturday evening. The democracy feel that these gentlemen should be indorsed for the very able manner in which they have assisted in managing the affairs of the city the past year, as the report of the recorder, which is published iu to-day's paperWill show. A few republicaus who style themselves "law and order" men are attempting to créate dissentions among temperance democrats, hoping thereby to induce them to split their ticket, and thus aid in the election of republicansto office. Wc don't believe any democrats will be hoodwinked in this way. It is simply a game that is being played by Jofcn Schumacher, Chas. Boylan, Wm. Copeland, Eider Spence, and a few others in the in terest of the bosses who are over anxious to elect James Treadwell mayor. Kever in the history of this city have the laws been better snforced, or ths affairs of the city moro economically administered thun under mayor Kapp's administraron. The hue and cry tbat tliis city lias twen disorderly, originated in the minda of a few fanática who were mcouraged by republican leaders, and tbe talk of nominating red ribbon men for the various offices was to capture certain deiuocrats and tima defeat the democratie nomíneos. Those who attended tbe republican city convention could aee the hand wnling on the wall, and the way the red ribbon delegates wheeled into line when they were iu tbc majority was enough to convince the most skeptical tbat they were not sincere when agitating the nominaüon of a citizens' or "law and order" ticket. Treadwell had been "flxed;" the ttmpcrance men ahould unite on him, democrats, republicans and greenbackers alike, just to elect a republicau mayor. The game won't work. Tüe ofïicers of tbe Toledo road should be mude to keup their word. The citizens have submitted to indignities long enough. Of courne the road has been a beneüt to Ann Arbor, but the peopje should not be imposed upon. Tbey furliisiied the money to build the roaJ and honsoS too, That's w"hat Ann ABBOM Dbmocbat. We don't know wliat indig niucs the citizeus of Ann Arbor have been subjected to on account of the Tolde road, Lmt o do know that work was stopped upon said road in this county in mid winter 1S8U, without payingthe men. some ot whom ware obliged to go to jail to gel a place to sleep and soniethin.tï' to eat. We are also Informad that not one dollar of these debts have been paid to this day. Can the DsMOOBAT lell us whether the mouey which belongs to these laborers, bas goue to build hous.es? And by the way.where are the Asbleys? "VVheu they were urging our people to give them money they were here often, but of late no one of the trinity, either the Governor, James or iiarry frequent our streets. We have no doubt a good inany in this community would really liko to sec them. - Pontiac Gazettc. We knovv of many a Hor devil who worked on the road in nis vicinity who couldu't gut a ceut exeept by selling his time at from 2 to 50 cents on tho dollar. And some of the officers had a finger in the pie. They pock:ted hundreds of dollars whicb. righifully jelonged to these laboriug men. Thb Jemockat at the time showed up the nearious business mueh to the dlscomflture í tuose who were engaged in il. Governor Ashiey, it is said, never invested a dollar u the road. He hadn't il to invest or we ire misinformed. VVheu he h'ral carne here to live he rcDted a 4 x ö place somewhere ia the fourth'ward. To-day the amily reside in one of the finest and most xpensive houses iu the city and it is not ented either. The governor also owus n Toledo a handsome block of houses. In act he is said to be well heeled. The nauager boasts that the road has paid )ig. Kow the question is, what becomes t the money? No doubt the many creauors wouïu like to kuow, mthougli it ruight do tbem no good. It has been a grab game all the way through, and Mr. Oazelte mau you can betyour bottom dollar that the Goveruor, James, llarry, and the rest of the Ashleys wiü be well provided tor.
