A Large numberofournaturaüzed CÍtizens...

A Large numberofournaturaüzed CÍtizens in this county have never yet been registered. See to it that all in your neighborhood are registered properly. ín no way can you do more for your party than to see that thcy register properly and vote. Frank Joslyn and Patrick MeKernan are too well knovvn to the people of the county to need any words ofpraise at our hands. They know just what the duties of circuit court commissioners are and do the work so well that the people have no thoughtof supplanting them. Michael Seerv, our candidate for register of deeds is thoroughly familiar with the duties of the office. He has worked in the register's office lor many years and is an intelligent man, well wórthy of the promotion, which the democratie party proposes to give hiin. Why did the highly protected Pennsylvania miners lose 128 days work in '84 and 1 1 1 days work in '85 when they only got $20 a month wages and paid for their own tools OÜ and powder? Why did not the high tariff give them work and living wages? State taxation in democratie New York is 1.53 milis. In republican Michigan it is 2.24 milis. Tilden and Cleveland as governors reduced the rate of taxation in New York, Alger and Luce increased the rate in Michigan. Votéis who do not Gelieve in high taxes will see that they vote for Cleveland and Burt this year. The Providence Journal, hitherto a staunch republican paper, say that Rhode Island is a doubtful state and the Spiingfield Republican, an independent paper with republican tendencies, says that New Hampshire is a doubtful state. The republicans will hare to spread their work a good deal this year to keep their own states in line. Gustave A. Brehm was put on the ticket as the representative of the young democrats of the county. He is the present deputy treasurer and has had charge of the treasurer's office for some months. He is a fine bookkeeper, accurate in his calculations, and a fine penman. He is ot undisputed honesty and integrity and will make a good treasurer. Martin Clark is running for a second term for coroner and as he makes a good official he will poll his full party vote. Dr. Batwell, of Ypsilanti, is an excellent running mate, an original man, who will be apt to be thorough in holding a coroner's inquest and to state the result of his investigation in terms not to be misunderstood. The republicans admit that the duty ought to be taken off of sugar, and yet when the democrats of the ways and means committee of the house attempted to reduce the sugar duty $12,000,000, the republican members votcd solidly against tne reduction. The republicans favored taking the tax off of whiskey and tobáceo, but werenot willing to take it off of Kimber, sugar or the other necessities of life. MichaelJ. Lehman is a selfmade man. He earned his education under circurmtances which would have appalled all but One in a thousand men. Such a man should be encouraged. He will devote his whole energies to the duties 01 the office of prosecuting attorney and will not feel above handling cases in justices court personally. The county's legal work will receive his personal and undivided attention. James L. LouDEN,the democratie nomincc for the legislature in the Ypsilanti district will prove a useful member of the legislature. He should have 1200 majority. He is a well educated thinking farmer, one who knows what it is to work hard and whose bread has been earned by the sweat of his brow. Mr. Louden is a well posted man, a reader of the Argus, as all good democrats in this county are, and will make a good man to have at Lansing. Among the ten thousand republicans of Illinois, who have come out for Cleveland and Thurman is VVirt Dexter, the eminent Chicago lawyer, who was born in Dexter this county. The village was nained aiter hij father, Judge Dexter. Are there not some republicans in Dexter who do not believe this country can be made rich by paying higher taxes than necessary and who can range themselves with Wirt Dextei this year in support ot the candidates who promise the people lower taxation ? Senator Gorman, the farm orator of Washtenaw, who runs a three hundred acre farm in Lyndon, in spite of the early sacrifice of an arm upon a threshing machine, deserves to make a fine ïun for election. Let Ann Arbor give him a rousing majority. Nobly did he stand by the interests of the University, and he is a man of influence in the legislature. He led the democrats in the senateduring the last legislature. We will send him back to lead them again this year, when they have a chance of being in the majority. The democrats could not have found a cleaner or better man for sheriff trum Charles Dwyer, the present popular supervisor of Dexter township. So hard pvessed are his political opponents forcampaign material to use against him, that some of them have been spreading the report, that if elected, he would not take care of the criminal business personally and would not reside in the sherifl's house at the jajl. We state authoriatively that on the first of January aftcr his election, Charles Dwyer will be found attending personally to the duties of sheriff and that he will take up his residence, at the jail. The office of sheriff will be well managed in his hands. John V. N. Gregory, the next representative in the state legislature from this district, is a democrat. He is a good supervisor and will make a good legislator. He is a friend of education and will be found looking aftcr the interests of his district. He is a very popular kind of man, just the kind to have many friends among the farmer legislators who will compose the next legislatura and henee he will have considerable influence with them. He will vote for a man for United States senator who, if elected, will vote for the reduction of unnecessary taxation and the reduction of the tariffon the necessities of life, such as lumher, sugar, &c. He will be found voting for the people and against the behest of gigantic corporations. A son of O wen Lovejoy, the martyred abolitionist, is the democratie nominee for congress in Illinois. A son of Massachussett's war governor, Andrews, is a democratie nominee for congress in Massachusetts. A son of Grov. Reuben E. Fenton, of New York, is stumping for the democracy as are sons of Rockwood E. Hoar aud Wayne McVeagh. And yet we hear republican orators denouncing the democratie party as the rebellion party. Intelligent Americans are sick of this republican stock argument, which is a confession of the weakness of the present position of the republican party. Washtenaw never had a better county clerk than Frederick A. Howlett. He keeps up with the work of the office and the files are all found in good condition. We have occasion to refer to the various files in the county clerk's office frequently and know whereof wé" speak. As an instance of the kind of county clerk he is, we may say that the county orders were all drawn and signed this year, when the board of supervisors adjourned and the copy for the printer of the supervisors' journal of proceedings was also furnished. At the same time the work of the circuit court was kept up with. It has been many years, since this has been done before. Voters who wish to vote for a good man to keep in office, will vote with great pleasure for the re-election of Mr. Howlett. J. Willard Babbitt isa conscientous, painstaking lawyer, whose advise can always be reliedupon. He is safe counsel. He is well posted in the law and will be capable of saving estafes much litigation, into which a judge untrained in the law would unwittingly involve them There are no more important interests in the county, than come before the judge of probate, and the man who has to pass upon them should have had the experience and knowledge, which Mr. Babbitt possesses. Mr. Babbitt's majonty should be a heavy one. He will Tiake a fine judge of probate and should poll the vote of every democrat in the county, as well as the vote of thinking republicans who helieve in putting a highly qualified man into an important judicial position. Abraham Lincoln in his last annual message to congress said : " As a result of the war, corporations have been enthroned and an era of corruption in high places will follow, and the money power of the country will endeavor to prolong its reign by working upon the prejudices of the people until all the wealth is aggregated in a few hands and the republic is destroyed. I feel at this moment more anxiety for the siifety of my country than ever before, even in the midst of the war. God grant that my suspicions may prove groundless." In the light of these words, who can doubt, but that if Abraham Lincoln were living to-day, he would, out of love for his country be found among those who are supporting Cleveland and Thurman. A Germán citizen ne'ar Reading bought a McCormick binder this season, paying $140 therefor. In writing to his friends in Germany he told them of his new purchase and what it cost him. What was his surprise to learn from them in reply that the same machine could be bought there for $90. That's the way the American farmer is protected! This is an actual occurrcnce. - Hillsdale Democrat. We can corrobórate that statement. A farmer at Reed City, who claimed to be a republican, ir.formed us that he recently paid a visit to his old home in Canada. He had purchased a McCormick harvester just before that at a cost of $150. Noticing a duplícate of his machine upon a farm lying next to the one he was raised on he inquired how much it had cost, and his astonishment may be imagined when the owner named $90 as the price. This reminds us of anothcr statement we heard not long ago. A gentleman visiting New ork on business desired to purchase a sewing machine, the price of which was $35. He mentioned the fact to a jobber with whom he had been trading, when he was told that he could get the same machine for $20. And he did. Following instructions he bought the machine to be consigned to him at a certain wharf for export. Then it was a simple matter to secure a trunk and the cartage cost him 25 cents, a saving 014.75. - Cadillac Democrat. If any farmer in the least doubts these figures, let him ask Albert Blaess, of Lodi, who visited Germany recently and can teil some facts of his personal knowledge. Willard Stearns, our candidate for congress, is a man of whom we can speak from personal knowledge. For over two years the editor of the Argus had an office in the same building with Mr. Stearns and was thrown into almost hourly contact with him. Henee we can speak of what we know, when we say that Willard Stearns is in every way a fitting man to send to congress. He is a level headed man, an original thinker, who is quick to comprehend and one who can master details. He is an economist, such as the halls of congress stand greatly in .need of. He is a reputable man, who stands well with his fellow citizens, a man of honor, a man of integrity, a man of undoubted ability, a man with great powers of physical endurance, and an aggressive man, who is apt to accomplish much or his district, a charitable man, who respnnds liberally according to his means to the needs of his fellow men. He is a man which no Corporation can use as a tool, a man which no dique can hoodwink. Remember these words come from one who knows him intimately. No amount of mud slinging by political opponents who find their guns spiked, can sully in one particular, Mr. Stearn's reputation among those who know him. Mr. Stearns, ifsent to congress will make his mark there. He will do honer to this congressional district, he will give its voice more weight than it has had. We hope that eveiy man who reads these lines will cast a vote for Willard Stearns for congress.
