Worth Considering

The term of probate judge in four years. During thattime, mnny men who Vote at this electiou, for that offieer, will die and their (tutes necessarily pass through the probate court. Let them think, then, before voting whether they will entruft the intereHts of their wives and children to a man of experience; one who has been tried and fonnd capable, honest and efficiënt, Qi to n new and unl ried man. It is saying nothing agamst Mr. Houey, to Bay that his flrst term shoukl he be elected 3in not be as suceossful as Mr. Harriman's third, for want of the knowledge of the duties of his office whioh the latter ha acquired. Tliat miii'h is oertain, setting aside all chanceo! incompetence. The mistakes of inexperience may bring man.v au estate iuto loss and irouble. We believe it is universall.y conceded that Mr. Har rimairs administrtion has beeu singularly succeesful and saiisfactory. His decisionshave givensatisfiiction nnd his perfect acquaintance with probate proceelmgs has preveuted litigation, aiid saved immensely, by rendering ouiside legal advice imnecessary. Now everj man wauts the nssurance that in cas of his death, the administration shall not eat np his estáte. The matter of expense is largely under the control of the probate court, and the main ground of objection to Judge H;.rriimu's re-eleclion is said to be inat he has preveuted the accumulation of charges for legal services, and saved to estates thous tuds of dollars wliich another might have just as we'lletflow in the poeket of attorneys. We can rememb'er the time when the probate office afforde'l a regular income to an outside lawyer or two. Under Harriman it has not bien so. These conpideratious sliould weigh more with every voter than pariy illegiance. The office comes righthome to every man and it comes af t-r death, whon he can no longer guard hisown interest. Heshould provide before hand, by selectmg tne man for judge of probate who can jfivi' the greatest issiirance that estates will be protected and justly disposed of. In this case there is no chance f' r a doubt. Ml Harriman's admimstr ns have estublished just that reputation for him. Mr. Honey is entirely untried. The aboveis f rom the Ypsilanti Sentinel, and is a correct view of the matter. The people of tlus county will look at il in the game hght and will see to it that Judge Harriman is re-elected to the office which he has so faithfully iilled for the past eight years. The argumenta used by the republicans to induce Irish-Americans to desert the democratie party are answe ed iu one question. Why duntld tóe feww mw party tuur II, ui ils limir nf üictory hu come? "Wbat bas the democratie part done for Irish-Amerioans," asks one of those wbo have gone over to tho republicana. If it is meant, what -office has it gmn them, the auswer is obvious: a party that is not in power has no offices to give. At least let the democratie party have i eliiinei to prove itaelt. The republican party ha liecu in power for ovtrtwenty years, and it bas excluded lrish -Americana (rom every public office ind honor tbat it could, lotb m the state and (he federal governmente. Now the time has come for the democratie party to take the reina, and IrishAmericans have, at least, a fair show of public recognition. The republicans, however, turn to them, as a drowning man clutches at a straw, and say: "Desert your pari y and come to our aid. Keep us in office, and we will be your friends." Do the republicans tbink that the Irish-Americans are fools as well as traitors? If we are to depend on promises we will take the word of the party to which we have been loyal, rather than a party which' hits been disloyal and inimical to UB. Why should we leave the democratie party when ihe object for which we have worked for twenty years is within our reach? To oblige the republicans? To make that man president who as secretary of state, congressmau, local partisan, bas been the particular republican against whom we have the deepest grudge? Nonsense! IrishAmericans are going to vote as they have voted since the war - for the party which bas been true to thern in principie, and which will be true to them in its power and practice, rememberiug their loyalty in the days of ita defeat. - Boston Pilot. We l:elieve that the business men, farmers and soldiers will make po mistake in their votes for congress this year and therefore have confidence in the election of Ooi. Eldredge. His work during the lastsession will be the best guarantee thut he will not neglect the interests of auy of his constituent. He will not permil a tariff robbery if bis vote will prevent. He doesn't n'nd it necessaiy to write to any Fishers for a certifícate of cbaracter, drafted by hls cmifidential clerk. He will not wnte a letter that he will want burned. He is not to be bought or bi ibed. His whole work will be in behalf of his district. He bas never neglected the interest of our soldier boys, and they realize it, and they know they can rely upon and trust in him. Tbey want no expeiimentiug with doublé faced politiciuns, therefore tbey will stand by the Colonel. The farmers know that he nglits fearlessly for their interests, and that he favors honesty, integrity and a prompt re ognition of h:s constitueots, aftet election as well as before. Therefore they are earnestly supporting him and very properly so too, as the farmers of this tliHtriet received more attention last year f roin their representative thun they ever had lefore in any one term of any member. Col. Eldredge is a safe oooservative man for the district and should be returned by a handsonie majority. -Adnan Press. Just so, and von can bet .Mr. Edilor that okl Wasbtenaw will do her duty tow;ird returning to congress Hon. N. B. Eldredge. We art pleased to know that all over the county the demoorats are up and lning, working with only "ne object in view, the siiccenH of the whole democratie ticket from congressman to comner. That the Cleveland electors and the state ticket as well will bave lartre majorities in Wasbtenaw county even the most radical republican admits. Frora now until the day of election let democrutH do their duty and tbe majoritirs that will be rolled up for tbo national, state, congressional and couuty tickets will istonish thfnatives. Capt. Allen's frieudsshonld insist on his speaking only in strong democratie towns where he can do himself no ' age. A few more speeches like the one be delivered here, Eldredgo would 3arry Blissfield with a rush. A number of oiir republiean friends were not pleaaed with his remarks. Tlie obove is f rom the Ad vanee pubÜBhed at Blissfield, and sounds a little curious from tlie fact that the paper is republican in politics and supports Blaine and Logan. Only two more issues of The Democrat before the November electiou. From now until the fourth of next ruonth let the democracy of this county present u solid front and vietory will perch upon our banner. There is no reason why every man on the connty ticket shouid not be elected by good round majorities. The case is in the hands of the democratie party, and by working together a gloriouH vietory is in store. The republican managers made one grand desperate eflort to carry West Virginia by the lavish expeniiture of money, and the importation of voters, bilt they ignoniinously failed. In Ohio they were more successful. It is estimated that 'n this state they expended $3,000,000 or more, and still their majority is considerably less than had leen calculated on, by some 15,000. ■ -■ Ohio, as The Dbmocrat all alone antioipated, has gone n publican by 10,000 majority. In West Virginia the democrats held their own and carry the state by a majority from 8,000 lo 9,000. From now on the battle will be waged h!1 along the line. Both puriies will do their best to wiu, but the chauces seem to be with the democrats. Demoobats of Washtenaw county don't bedeceived by what republicans naay teil you. Knowing that they haven't the ghost of a chance of electing their ticket, they will resort to almost anything with the vain hope of puiling some one of their nominees. to the front. If there ewr was n time when uuity and h.irmonious action in the democratie party could insure success, that time is now. Let ev ry democrat stand firm. Stand by our candidatos, state, congressional and county and vietory is ours. James Keakns, f üexter, is a deserviiig young man, capable and honest and will make a örst-class register of deeds. Every democrat, we care not what his nationality may be, owcs it to himself to work and vote for Mr. Kearn. Yes! we haveheard trom Ohio, but as the state has al wavs gone republican in the October election of presideutiül years, and by muoli larger majorities than was given Tuesday. Republicaiis haven't niucli to brag uver. The farmers of this congressional dmtrict have an abiding faith in (.'ol. Kldredge, who has faithfully represented liis district in congress. They believe that he is the right man and will vote for his re-eleciion. Col. EiíDbedoe is the friend of the soldier and they are the boys who will remember him when they deposit their ballot on the fourth of November next. Ir there is a land that is warmer than this there ought to be, and any democrat that deserts his party, just as it is upon the eve of yictory, ought to go thore. ♦■i Let every democrat vote the ticket as it is printed and republicans will have no opportunity to crow on the eve of the fourth day of November next. - -.m. After the firat of Jannary next, Ezra D. Norria, the democratie nominee for prosecuting attorney will take up his residence in Ann Arbor. The democratie meetings in this county are well attended and excellent resulte are sure to follow. (Jol. Km ui kik ik íb ever,} where gaining strength.
