There Have Been Numerous Instances

in the history of the Bepublican party in Michigan, during the past decade, ■when its nominees were so notoriously disqualified, and so universally unpopular among the masses of the people, that it r quired columns of editorial entreaty and hours of alleged oratory to coax and drive its rank and file into line. Happily for the opposition no outlay of this nature is required, this spring, in presenting "our candidates" to the electors. They are all well known and esteemed, as gentlemen of exceptionable ability and integnty, throughout the length and breadth of the State. John W. Champlin, of Gtand Rapids, is recognized as a leading lawyer of Western Michigan, and is, moreover, a man of ripe culture and acknowledged capability for judicial work. Thomas B. Sher■wood, of Kalamazoo, has been for years a legal light of his section. His popularity was amply demonstrated by the great majority he received at the convention, and the press of Kalamazoo and surrounding toivns are giving him a "send-oLf" that speaks volumes for his ability. The nominees for Regen ts of the State University- Arthur M. Clark and Chas. J. Willett- bring with them the record of years of practical experience in educational matters ; and, if eleeted, we are assured that the disgraceful quarrels and persimalities, which have characterized the college for yeare past, will cease, and the university regain its past inlluenoe and effectiveness. - [Lansing Journal.
