; WHAT Our oPPoNEN rs SAY.

The Detroit 7riJms Acknowledges
the corn" handsomely, confesscs that the
late Democratic State Convention put in
nomination strong ticket" and pays
its respects TO the nominees in fair and
candid article, which we copy below:
Democratic State Nominations.
There could be no more Difference to
the strength of the Republican State
nominations, than the action of the
Democratic State Convention yesterday.
II then pnt forward its best men, and
has made really strong ticket.
Ex-Gov. BARRY is well known in the
State, having been twice Governor, and
candidate for Governor and Congress,
in which he was defeated. He is not
man of large abilities, but has some con-
siderable executive talent and a promi
nent reputation for integrity, which has
been considerably damaged by his con-
nection with past democratic politics i'll
Michigan. When he last ran for Gov
ernor he was defeated by large major
ity, as he was also in his District when
he ran for Congress. Still he shares to
/ an unusual degree the confidence of his
party, and will secure full vote.
Hon. WIN. NJ FENToN, for Lieutenant
Governor, has occupied the same position
before and been a member of the Legis-
laturc. His is a respectable nomination
in every respect.
Hon. ELoN FARYswoRTH, Of this city,
is one of our old and respected citizens,
and is now and for some time past has
been President of the Detroit Savings
Bank. He does not possess the fnan-
cial ability of Mr.. OWEN, but he is fully
competent for the Office and has an alto.
gether honorable character.
HENRY PENNoYER, of Ottawa county,
for Auditor-General, has seen some pub
lie service, and was member of the last
State Senate. He is an old man, very
bigotcd partizan, but of respectable abil
ity
WV. FRANCIS, Of the Allegan Record,
/ is hale fellow-well- of fair abilities,
considerably INDECENT, of not much bust
ness talent, and in our judgment not the
man for Secretary of State. He has
been the most ferocious of Douglas men
and has had the independence to excori-
ate the Detroit clique without mercy
His nomination must be bitter pill for
them.
CHAuYcEY JosLIN, Of Washtenaw Co.,
is an amiable, agreeable gentleman, has
pretty fair practice, but does not rank
with the leading lawyers of the State.
We have known many SMITHS in our
time, but Of SAMUEL l.. SMITH, nominated
for Commissioner of the Land Office, we
know but little. He was member OF
the last Legislature, from st. Clair Co.,
and has but lately moved to the Lake
Superior region. His nomination is q
sop for that section.
+. w. SnEARMAN, for Superintendent
of Public Instruction, is o respectable
nomination. He is gentleman Of de-
cided ability and experience for the posi-
ton, having occupied the office formerly.
JOIN V. Lyon, of Lenawee county, is
nominated for member of the Board OF
Education.
This ticket comprises number OF
popular elements, and is intended to help
the nominations for Congress and The
legislature. 1t is ticket that will pro-
woke sharp contest, and Republicans
must not suppose it can be beaten with
out an effort, and by an immense major
ity. 1t can be beaten. Of that we have
not doubt. But the Democrats have
put forth strong ticket, and evince 9
determination to work hard for it, anC
) the Republicans must meet them hanc
to hand.
