The last issue of the Ann Arbor Dem ocint, underthe beading " Mr. Suekey,' L'ivcs tlie following write up of tha gentleman, which will probably not be uatsd as an " educational document " in the coming campaign : 'Die readers of The Democrat wil have iioticed that in our summary o: sketches and comtnendatory notes o the candidates on the democratie count} t ii'ket placed in nomination at our county cniiventionon the 21st inst., we omittec the name of Mr. Paul G. Suekey, the eañdidate for the oliice of county treasurer. The ommission was not an oversight as may be supposed. The Democrat is, anrt always has been, loyal to the democratie tickets and will continue to be so long as democrats are on the ticket, but whon a man of Mr. Suekey's reputed political status is placed in nomination, our loyalty - not to the democracy, but to the ticket - ceases. VPnen Mr. Paul G. Suekey came from (iennuny some years ago and located in Aun Arbor, (though rumor said he carne frijm Italy) he began the publication of a Germán newspaper. In a short time time after entering upon liis journalistic career, he distinguished liimself by an unwarranted attaek on our great university. Tlien the way our courts of justice were conducted did not meet with Mr. Suekey's views and he let us know it through the columns of his paper. His next attack was on that eminent jurist, Hon. Thomas M. Cooley, one of the grandest men in the nation. A man whom everybody delights to honor. The Evangelist Moody, one of the noblest men in the country to-day, who spends his life in the cause of christianity, never receiving any reward for his services so cheerfully given, even this good man did not escape Mr. Suekey's pen, when he preached to crowded honaes in Aun Arbor. Jjhe Hausfreund of September 1"), lhíf iir. Suekey sneeringly eritieiseu our high school system, than whieh there is none better in the land. The accusation that Mr. Suekey was a duelist in Europe may, or may not be true. But when we sat at the reporters' table in the convention of last week, when he was norninated, lie said to us : " I feel now just as I did when I fought iny first duel." In dropping the sword for the pen Mr. Suekey still had the fight in liis hands and the editor of The Democrat was his next victim. We replied, when he attacked us again, and we now find time and' inclination to say a few words. Mr. Suekey, The Democrat shall not support yonr nomination. We are not that kind of a democrat. We are au American-democrat and not an ltaliandemocrat, who takes pleasure in magligning our courts of justice, our nstitutions of learning and ridiculing our noblest men, wbich smells too strong of anarchy to suit us. The Democrat will support a good American or and other American,
