At Adrian Yesterday, Capt. Allen Re

ceived the nomination for congress. Everïthino looka favorable (or a rousing democratie victory in November. The ligbt in the oourt house tower continuos to grow dimmer and dimmer with eaoh succeeding night. The demooratio-greenback ticket nominated at Grand Rapids is a strong one, and it means a glorióos victory in November. i ■ Fob three days this week our Germán fellow-oitizens entertained handsomely their oountrymen from around the state. That the saengerfeet was a grand success is so pronounced by the many persons who attended. The sidewalk committee shoold pay a little attention to their duties or resign in favor of some one who vill insist on having the dilapidated walks, in many portions of the city, repaired before cold weather sets in. Then it will be too late. The delegates from Monroe to the democratie senatorial convention, yet to be called, will, it is said, present the name of a Monroe county man for state senator. At present, however, it is mere speculation as to who the coming man will be. We understand that an effort will be made to secare the soldiere' and sailors' encampment of Michigan in this city another year. One thousand dollars, it is said, will bring it, at least that is the amount that Hillsdale subscribed to secure it this year. Thebe is no denying the faot that repubheans are terribly put out over the result of the democratic-greenback coalition. It is what they had ridiculed all along, with the evident hope that the two conventions would get by the ears. Now they will be sorely disappointed. Fob state senator on the democratie side, Hons. E. B. Pond and C. H. Richmond are now mentioned for the position. Both gentlemen are oon versant with the wauts of the university, and either of tliem would represent this senatorial district with credit to themselves and the people generally. Genabaii Sedoewiok of New York, who is said to be the beat posted man in this country on international law, has gone to Mexico at the instance of our government to ascertain the true status of the Cutting matter. When he makes nis report to the authorities at Wash ington they will know how to act in the p remises. _ The delegates from this county to the democratie congressional convention at Adrián next Wednesday, are instructed to cast their votes for the Hon. Charlee B. Whitman. We feel that Washtenaw is juatly entitled to the nomination, but whoever the nominee of the convention may be, he will receive the hearty support of The Democbat. Ezba B. Nobbis, proeecuting attornsy now going on two years, has been a faithful official, and through him the county has been saved thousands of dollars. The tax-payers feel that he is the right man for the position, and he is commended on all sides, by demócrata and republicana as well, who feel that as a public prosecutor he is ably filling the bil!. It is evident that the republicans of this oounty are thoroughly demoralized. They didn't enthuse worth a cent at their recent county convention, and the ohairmanship of the county committee went begging. Af ter half a dozen gentlemen had been named for the place, and refused to accept, Col. Dean was mentioned and, as he was a thousand miles or more away, as a delégate put it, he could not very well decline, and he was elected chairman. The republican senatorial convention is to meet in this oity September 21. It is generally understood that Senator Eempf can have the nomination ïf he will take it, but as the district, as now constituted, is overwhelmingly democratie, it remains to be seen whether Mr. K. is willing to be offered up as a saorifioe. There is no doubt he would like to be returned to the senate for the honor there is in it. If he should consent to run again he would probably open his barrel. The prohibitioniste should be encouraged in their noble efforts at reformation. It is really astonishing how their numbers are increasing all over Michigan. The men who are engaged in the movement are a determined lot, and they mean business. They are organizing prohibition clubs everywhere, and we are a little anxious to see how large a vote the third party will poll this fall. As for funds they have plenty to carry on a campaign, and they evidently intend to whoop it up lively from now until eleotion day.
