lie is an honest man beyond all question,
man OF good abilities. well posted IN public az
fairs, and wonld be exceedingly careful OF the

scented Branch county in the Legislature and
hls record will show that he has at all times
been upon the side of safe and economical
management OF the State affairs. We know of
no man who as representative Of the agri-
cultural classes we would better like to see put
in nomination for State Office
The Muskegon Chronicle has this to say Of
the Hon. ID. Il. Briggs, OF Romeo:
'In the discussions among the State Jour-
mails as to preferences for the various nomiDa-
tions upon the state ticket, we hear nothing
said about the Office Of Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction. We certainly hope the present
able and efficient incumbent, the Hon. Daniel
Il. Briggs, will be renominated, and from the
general silence about the matter we take it for
granted that lie will be unanimously. Mr..
Briggs has made the best State Superintendent
that Michigan ever had"
The Pontiac Gazette seconds the motion OF
the Ann Arbor Courier that the Hon. Il. E.
Trowbridge be nominated for State Auditor
General. 1t says:
1--WE most heartily indorse tie nomination,
not merely on account OF the adequate fitness
OF the man for the position, but because we

honorably represented in the position OF Auditor

voting against Mr.. Kasson's amendment,to Mr..
Hale's bill. which in effect made the repeal OF
the salary grab" law retroactive, so far az
members of the present Congress we're con-
cerned, the editor cites the Congressional Rec
ord to show that Mr.. Burrows voted for the
Kasson amendment and is not, therefore,
chargeable with indirectly voting money into
his own pocket.
The Adrian Times volunteers to certain
parties this admonition:
I've think Republicans in the various Con-
gressional districts OF this state 1t to them
selves and the party at large. to use unusual
| care in their selection of candidates for the
next Congress. We have no disposition to
! interfere with the action Of any other Congress

nominees. Our own opinion is that no man
who voted for or took the back pay, no man
who is in favor OF it,, no man who in Congress
did not vote for It's repeal and no man who Is
/ in favor OF currency imitation, should be nom
mated by Republicans anywhere for the next
