Only One Among Many

Said a well known democrat in our office the ,other day: "I have been closely identified with Washtenaw county politics for the past thirty years, and while I must admit that the polititical school, at best, is not calculated to gradúate a firet class Sunday school superintendent or even retain the moral Standard necessary to a district school teacher, still all partios, as I have observed them during that time, have been fairly decent in their methods of caucusea and conventiona until the last democratie town and ward caucuses to elect delegates to the county convection to nomínate candidates for county officers. As a specimen of dirty, pestiferous politics, it takes the cake. The only contest in the caucus was for county clerk and I have yet to hearof a yoting precinct in the county where the caucus was not packed, or tried to be, in the interests of Brown. This could be excus-ed for once, had not the influence of the counfy board of school examinprs been brought to bear on the county ' school teachers, their ' fathers, brothers, úneles and to accomplish this purpose. Messrs. Lehman, Cavanaugh and Brown, our county board of school examine rs, have brought ' Little Bed School House ' into politics, and they should be set down upon hard. I owe no party fealty to any candidate on the ticket placed there by such a combination, and I find plenty of my party who feel as I do."
