The County Ticket

The county ticket placed in the field by the Washtenew Republicana is one that ought to be elected. It is a strong ticket. It contains the names of men of ability and dignity. It is one of the best county tickets ever nominated in Michigan. Even the candidates for coroner are flrst-class men. The nominee for judge of probate, George S. Wheeler, of Salem, is one of the best known of Washtenaw'scitizens, a man of sterling worth who has held many positions of trust. As a citizen remarked when he was nominated, he is a man of the Abraham Lincoln type of honesty. John F. Lawrence, the candidato for prosecuting attorney, is well known as a first-class lawyer. It would be quite refreshing to have a good lawyer as prosecuting attorney again in Washtenaw county. We assume that Washtenaw will not reject him for a typical pettifogger like M. J. Lehman. In electing Mr. Lawrence as prosecuting attorney, the county will not only have an able lawyer but a fearless man, - a man who it is belived, will not prostitute justice even for his friends. It is with pleasure that we notice the nomination of Hon. A. J. Sawyer by the Republicana of the first district, Washenaw county, to represent them in the Legislature. A stronger nomination could not possibly have been made nor one who would have been as eminently fitted to well represent the great interest of this county. Mr. Sawyer has wice served as representative, in the Legislatures of '77 and '79, and he then erved his constituency wel!. He is an eloquent speaker, and a m " of influence not only i this countj -ut in the whole state. He stands at the head of he Washtenaw county bar. He is a college-bred man, just such a man as his district which contains the greatest educational interests in the whole northwest, should be represented by. Je is a man who grasps and appreciates he needs of our great University and will zealously guard its interests. He s popular among all classes and is endued with those necessary qualificaions of a good legislator- good common sense, sterling integrity and wonderful power of oratory.
