j. l.. Pyle for Attorney General.

Huron. Jan. 17.-Within the past few
days letters have been coming to At
torney John l.. Pyle Of this city from all
parts OF the ctate urging him TO become
a candidate for nomination on the re-
publican ticket for attorney general.
When the matter was first suggested TO
Mr.. Pyle he was inclined to treat il as a
joke, but since prominent republicans
are seemingly determined on bringing
him 10 the front for the position now
filled by Melvin Grigsby he is giving the
suggestion careful consideration and
will likely accede TO the wishes Of his
friends. AS 10 his fitness for the posi-
ton there can be no question, and should
he enter the contest ne will make a cam
paign that will result in success for him.
Mr.. Pyle is one OF the foremost attor-
neys OF the northwest, has a wide ac-
quaintance and a large practice. He
is an ardent republican, and one of the
wheel horses Of that party in this state.

5000 tons dead weight, which cost
$4,000 less than four years ago; and
$4,000 has been offered for a steamer
OF 1000 tons dead weight which cost
$4,000 two years ago.
