Hod. C. H. Manly: Good nomination ; but wouli have preferred Yaple. Register of Deeds Jas. Kearns : The ticket is all right. The fact that he is a millionaire won't hurt. him. Prosecuting Attorney Norris : Think Burt will be eleoted, and under present circumstances will poll inore votes than Yaple would have polled. Probate Register Doty : I don't cali Burt a protectionist. Ho indorses Cleveland's message and the Democratie platform, and the convention did the best thing they could have done fjr the party. Postmaner Duffy : It is a good nomination. Perhaps in the northern part of the State Burt is the stronger man, but in this section Yaple would have polled more votes. However, we want Yaple for Congress, where he will do us more good than he could as governor. E. B. Pond : Burt is stroDger than Yaple. He accepted the platform and that's enough. D. Cramer: Yaple would have united the party more than Burt, and I regard him as the better man of the two. We are fighting on a single issue in this campaign, and Yaple stood squarely on the right side of that issue, and in that regard is stronger than Burt. But I believe Burt will be eleeted. Sheriff Walsh : Think Burt is all right. No fault to find wiih the ticket. John J. Robison : Yaple is stronger in the southern part of the Siate, but Bart 13 the best man to head the ticket. County Clerk Howlett: W. R. Burt will be our cext governor, and the Univeraity will be safe in his hands. J. F. Lawrence: Think Yaple would have been a more satisfaotory candidute to the Democracy at large. Philip Bach : Think Burt will give us harder work than Yaple would have done, but the State is good for 10,000 Republican majoritv. Joe T. Jacobs : Think the Democrats made a big mistake. Yaple is a much abler man than Burt. The Republicans wili carry Michigan by 15 000. Prof. Calvin Cady has accepted the offer made him by the Chicago conservator of music, and wiB begin his work there Sept. lat. Yercelius & Babcock, saloonists of Milan, were arrested some days ago for selling liquor without a license. Their examination was set down for Tuesday, July 13. Prosecutor Norris was present, and asked tha-t the examination be continued until Tuesday, the 24th, in order that the defendants might have an opportunity to file a bond and pay the tax when he wonld discontinue the suit. Wherpat the Milan Leader makes a vigorous kick, demanding by what anthority the prosecuting attorney can discontinue a case of this kind without examining any witnesses, and remarks, "the law-abiding citizens of this place are getting enough of this nonsense." C. E. DuPuy, of Stockbridge, has erected in the cemetery at Chelsea a handsome granite tomb, made in three chambers, one above the other, the lower room containing the remains of Mr. DePuy's wife and child, both of whom died last winter.
