Next Tuesday The Battle Will Be De

cided in (Jhio and West Virginia. Jüdoino f rom tlie speech of people, and from newspaper reporta, ít is safe to say that Capt. Allea is meeting with uphill work in his district. Vote for a mau for the aenate who believes it a greater crime to wrongfully tako a dollar from the public treasury, than to roh an in lividual. Such a man is D. Cramcr. ■ i ■ Vote for a man for the at ite senate who will guard the public treasury and who does not want a board of supervisors tv pay hitn anything until he has flrst earned it. Go and hear our noniiDee for stite senator. He is able to give a reason for the hope the people have reposed in him. D. Cramer is announced to speak in different places in the county. i i An enthusiastic gathering of demócrata and independent republicana assembled in Dexter Monday night to hear D. Cramer andP. McKernan discusa the polnical questions of the day. The Germana of the county almost t o a man favor the election of Fred H. Belser for county treasurer. He will receive the f uil sirengthof the democratie vote and the republicina kao.v what that meaos. If the people of Washtenaw county want a man in the senate who will intelligently examine every bill, and know what it means and what its effect will be on the public welfare, then let them be sure and vote for D. Cramer. The re-election of John J. Kobison to the office of county clerk will be a deserved compliment to a most deserving official. The office of clerk s the moat important one in the county and it is very essential that a dteraocrat be el.cted. As John has done a good deal for the party during his preaent term he is entitled to and should receive the unanimous support of evory demoorat in old Was-htenaw. - +- As election day draws nigh the republicans give up all hope of electing a candidate on their county ticket. At firat they feit a little encourage'l, hoping that there would be disaffection in the democratie ranks, but in thi3 they a'edooined to disappointment. The democracy w II present a united front on the fourth of November next, which means large majonties for the nationil, state, congiessioual and county t'cketn. 1 - --fc- Sevebal, hundred copies ot, the Irish World, wbich has beo bought up by the Blaiue ni.naners, are gratuitously distiibuted to Irishmen iu this county for the purp.ise of influenuing their voteq in the coming presidentisleleotion. llow can they support Blaine when he has always been au enemy to their race? The eflfort of the World to hoodwmk Irislimen, will, we opine, tal] short of the mark. Judges Beakeij, l hoever and Harriman each reoeived per year $1,500. Harriman received no more thau pedecss-ors. Judge Beakes' terra began 20 yeare ago next January aud the busineea of the probate court is n arly one-half greater now thau it was then, while the salary is no larger. The Washtenaw Post ittempts ti deceive lts readers by making tbem believo tliat ïudge Harriman lis got 82,400. more pay than predecesBors, wlieu truth ik he hns received the samo pay ai d done a great deal more work. Honest Post! The Adrián Press snys: One of onr lending reub!ieaus met Mr. Allen n short time since and plurapod the following questions to hini : "Are yon a prohibitionist? I want it trom yon, for I nni a rppublican who won't vote for any man who Í8 a proliibitionist." Allen proinptly replied, "No sir! I am not a prohibitionist. I am a teniperance repnblican." We can give naraes if nceded and if Mr Allen denies the conversation. Phose prohibitiouists who think of pasting Allen's name over that of Mcsher should consider his utterances . - . - - As tothe fitness of Mr. Fred H. Belser for the office of conuty trensurer, we quote the following froiu the report of the procoedings of the board of supervisors made to the January session a year ngo. The report which is signed by two republicana, Lee Yost and Ben Brown and Fred A. Howlett, democrat, is as follows: ïour committee take pleaaure in saying that we find the books of the treasnr r neatly, and we believe, correctly kept. We doubt that a set of book c;in be fonnd in this city more systenwtically kept than the set in the tu';isnnr's office. Theabove testimonial wil have lts intiuence at the coming elcction. ■ mn The Waslitenaw Poet last week umlor cover of i pretended correspondent attacks Harriman'a religión. That lalse and slauderous game was tried eiglit years ago by a certain Anu Arbr paper, and the result wms to the great disgust of that paper, that Harriman was triuruphantly elected. The old know nothing days when a respectable citizen eould be safely attacked for lm nationnlity or his religión has passed aw;iy. The Washtenaw Post will not succoed in mixing tli ■ subject of religión with the politica of Washtenaw county this time to serve its mercenery and wioked purposes. The citizen is responsibe to God for his religiou, not to the Washteuaw Post. Mr. Honby is none the worsefor holding the postofftce in üexter for 1G years in succession. Fooi full pre-id ntnil terms. But it is a httle t'uuny for Iiíh supporters to object to Harriman for being noniinated by his party for a third term. But of course a fturth term is all right for republican postmasters, republican judges, republioan supervisors, republican senators, republican justices of the peace, but it is a te: rible thing for the democracy lo noininnte a democrat f' -ra third term. The republicans clected Edwin Willots to congress from this district a thinl term. Did jon hear the republicans now bowling against a third term for Harriman object to WiUeta on account of a third term? Not mach. Consistent and disentrested patriots are! Harbiman's ualary as judge of probate - the same that Judges Beakes and Cheever received- $1,500 per yeir was ordered paid by the I ioard of supervisors, first unanimously, then wheu the roll was called by a two-thirds vote. Bkk ry Si rnum vu the board j ' wpercior had the honesty to vote to p.iy Hariiman the salary to which lie was entitled in equity and law. The shllow and short sighted-politioal hermapbro ites who run the Washtenaw Post do not iealize that in :ittacking Jnd-i; Harrimnn for reoeiving the sal iry which he had honestly earned, they insult as honorable and intelligent a board of supervisors as ever met iu Washtenaw county. They do not reahze that they insult such Germans as John Feldkamp, Conrad Kr.:pf, Michael Stabler and James Kress. - ■■- All the signs indícate the re-election of Col. Eldredge by in increased majority over two years ago. The truth is he hus made many f i iends in all parties by his manly and straight forward course in congreso. His vote to restore the duty on wool after it had been taken off by the republicaus has satisfied the farmers that he will let no pedantic theories upon 'the tariff govern his sense of justice or supercede his plain blunt common sense. Farmers are for him, old soldiere are for him, intelligent republicans disgusted with the republican ma chine are for him. A thorough oanvaae of Leuawee county shows that he will get f rom six to se ?cd hundred majority there. He will get a thousand m Monroe and at loast seven hundri d in this county. Hurrah for Eldredge! The honest and pions bnuidy jnmper etill talks in tbe Washtenaw Post about the "Fatherland ." Theconimoü report is that after jumping two bounties during the war he suudenly departed for the dear "Fs.ti erland." He st:dd there uutil the close of the contest. It was the safest thing to do. If he had remained in iheadopted country which he disfraces the provost marshall would have mnr. hed him to a tioanling house witli ab.ill and chain upon his legs and stripped coat upon his back. Thebounty jumper takes a great interest in the office of judge of probate just now. But Hariiman need not fear the result for ihis honest gentleman bas the honor of being the onlv systematic bounty jumper Washtenaw county produced during the war, and it woulU tak a plato n of thein to beat Harrini m. Many in elhgent republicans are disgusted witli the purpose of three or four republicana m this city to trade ofF the republican vottrs of the couuty to the very mi n who are trying to defeat the repubiicau, nat onal and state tickets. Many republicans refuse to be treated as ch .titels and cau't be li' livered. They look upon the fus. on or co-opulation of republicans and greenbackers a species of political fornication and turn trom the spe taclo wiih disgust. The union of deinocruts and Uiitionals - the main object of both parties being to oust the party m power - seems reasoi a4e aud consistente but ihe uniuu of republicana nwX aationals i n a county ticket, simpl to secure spoils or gratify the whims of two or three men, is too absurd and ridiculous to satisfy or inspire the enthosiaan) E honorable republicans or honorable greenbac The democraoy of Washtenaw county neverhad a üettei county ticket than it has this fail. Ever., man on it a man of ability and every oaudidate tlioroughly quiilitied for theposition which lie seekts. Leading repubhoans seeing defeat staring them in the face are UKing every meaos to divide the democratie vote, to créate dissatsfaction hl the deraocr tic ranks, to persuade democrats here and there to scratch this or that candidato on the democratie ticket. For twenty years these republicau leaders have abnsed, ridiculed and insulted democratie voters. The time has now come when demócrata can have their revenge. DemocrntB stand to yonr guns! Present a bold united front to the enemy and a glorious victory is certain. After a quarter of acentury of disaster and defeat how the hearts of oíd grey headed democrute, and young democrats as well will be cheered by the news on the 4th of November. The national ticket elected! The state ticket elected!! Thecounty ticket eleetedü! By a united democracy all this can be secured. ■ i m Col. Eldbedge has ably represented the interests of the farmers iu their district. Col. Eldredge voted in favor of forfeiling every railroad land grant and so put the land back in the public domain for settlement by farmer's sons. CoL Eldredge bas also been active in the interests of the old veterans. In obtaining a pension every soldier has to prove by medical testimony that he was in sound health when he went into the service, and this in spite of the fact that when a man enlisted he was examined by i tiovernment surgeon. Many cuses fail for want of this proof. One of the flrst acts of Col. Elilredge when he entered congresSjWas to introduce a bilí iepealing this outrageous law and making the fact that a soldier was accepted by the govern ment for service, prima facie evidence of bis sound health without further proof. This bilí has passet the house and the Col. will use his iufiuonce to have it pass the senate at the next session of congress. Aud when we look at tho further fact that Col. Eldredge's opponenta joncede his honesty and good intentions, it is not surprising to see the old soldiers and farmers rallying enthusiatically to las support without regard to party lines. - Blisstield Advance; The Washtenaw Post has the wickedness to ati ack and abuse Judge Harriman for arr.mging and putiing in order the tiles and papers in the probate office wlii'h he was directed to do by the board of supervisors. The expense was ordered paid by the snpervisore. Tlie cost wiifi ess than one-ñfth of the cost of arrangingthe pipe;sin the clerk's oifleo, a job which cost the county more than $1,000, but ihe work in the clerks office was done by a republican, one of the f tli6 Post. It is conceded by those who know that tlie probale office of Washtenaw couniy is in better condition than any probate office in the state. The cases areso arranged that in one moment you can ñnd the papers in any estáte that has been settled in the last flfty years. Several other counties have ndopted the system which Harriman adopted here. W hen the peopli remember that the papers in the probate office invoive millions of dollars and affect the title to two-thirds of the real estáte in the county, they will see the wisdom of the board of supervisors in ordering the papers to be so arranged that they eau be preserved and found. Yel the shallowand ignorant Post crilicises the board of supervisors who ordered it done and Harriman who directed andfsuperintended the work.
