THE SEASON, OF r6L1r1Cs.
This week the preliminary work of
~ politicians will be accomplished,
% far as this section of the State is
concerned, as the conventions called to i,
nominate candidates by the close OF
this week will have done their work, !
asd ''flung their banners to the brecze:''
The CountytDehoc hocratic Convention
asets at Adrian on Friday, and the
Republicans hold theirs on Saturday
at the same place. The Prohibition
Convention meets In G. A.. R. hall, in |

The ''Independents," composed of
Farmers Alliance members, and

day, and NOMINATED a ticket. In the

ditor by the Democrats, and it is also
probable that the Republican conven-
tion will not put up a candidate
against him. He has conducted the
business Of his office with such skill:
and efficiency that there is no DISPOSE

Of any party. 1t is also safe predic
tion that Judge Dow will DO nomina-
ted by the Republicans, with a possiDi-
lity also that the Democrats will not
put up a candidate against him. The
same reasons apply III his Case rs in
that of Auditor Kendlen.
The Prohibitionists will doubtless
endorse Mr.. Tuttle for Clerk, as his
Affiliations lave hitherto been with
that party. For that office we have
MOt heard of any opposition among the
the Republicans to Mr.. Stevens. who

The "Independent" convention ad-
opted the nomination Of Mrs: NJ. j.
Barron AS its candidate for County
School Superintendent. Those who
wish to encourage and approve the
taking into public service competent
ls.lies will be pleased with this action.
