Why not say at once that the party
to which you claim to belong might as
well ask you to give up the ghost, as to
withdraw yourself as a candidate for
office, so long as there is one in the gift
of the people?
Why not announce yourself at once
as standing candidate for office as long
as you may live, and Office is to be had !?
The people are learning to appreciate
man who so unselfshly devotes him
self to the public service.
If you insist upon being supported at
the public crib the balance of your
natural life, why not go at once to the
County House, where the people will
know precisely how much it costs them
to feed and clothe you?
Having the interests of your party as
much at heart as you profess to have,
why not get out of the way like man
once in your life, and play dog in the
manger no longer ?
Why not learn that the people know
you about as well as you know them,
and that they are willing to relieve you
from the burden and responsibilities of
public life, now, henceforth and for.
ever? SAY

KALAMAZOO, March 80, 1875.

EDITOR NoRrHERNER The following
are a few questions we would like to
ask Dwight May, ESQ:
Before submitting the proposition to
Judge Lawton, contained in your letter
to him of the 18th inst, in relation to
the Judgeship, why did you not consult
Fernando Wood, and get a decision IL
your favor, aad then propose to submit
the matter to him
When you state that all the towns in
this county, except one, were represented
in our County Convention, why did you
further state that several townships
failed to send delegates to that conven-
ton, aud that in order to pack it to
your liking you wrote to particular
friends of yours, directing them to at
tend as delegates In your behalf and if
they could not come, to send other
particular friends OF yours, whom you
named
Why did you not state that such
friends Of yours actually attended said
convention, and acted as self-appointed
delegates-the towns which they claimed
to represent, having taken no action in
tn matter
Politically fair and candid as you are,
why did you not inform Major Lawton,
who is no politician, but a straight
forward man, how he could secure full
delegations in his own behalf from the
various townships in his county, and
thus put himself on a square footing
with you? Such thing is just as easy
as falling off log, you know.
Do you think it dead cure thing
that the colored gentleman whom you
have in your employ, peddling tickets
throughout the District, will succeed in
thrusting you on the people as their
next Judge
When you wrote the letter signed
Lawyer" the publication of which
you secured in the Kalamazoo Gazette
through the agency of a Democrat, and
in which you endeavored to detract
from the merits of Judge Lawton, and
eulogize your own, did you deem il
possible for the world to produce q
similar instance of modesty and hui
mainly +?
When you speak of being the regular
nominee for the Judgeship, do you
mean to say that the appointing of your
own delegates to the nominating con-
vention, is your regular way of securing
a nomination
Will you ask your friend More
Anon" what he meant when he writes
to Maj. Lawton under date of March
10Th, 1875. al
will say still more, that is that you are
my choice of the Van Buren, County
Bar If we have e

don't want you out of the field" .
How is it that Z" More Anon 4" and
yourself unite in writing such scurri-
lous letter in relation TO Republican p
