Cleveland and Thurman! Let the red bandana wave. Tariff reform the watchword! The Convention has so declared! The President’s message and the Mills bill indorsed! Will Wells for County Treasurer, cannot but be acceptable to the >eople. He is well qualified for the position. John C. Chilcote is extensively and favorably known. During the war he was a member of the 10th MichiganjCavalry. Hie candidacy for the office of Sheriff will rally to his support friends in all parties, and he is deserving of it.

Vie. Loughridge, for Coroner, will receive the hearty support of his many friends. If elected, he will satisfactorily perform the duties of the office.

For Surveyor, the Democratic County Convention p ’esents Austin N. Lakin, a popular young gentleman, of Union township, satisfied that he is every way worthy the support of his fellow citizens at the polls.

The Plymouth Democrat says: Hon. V. Zimmerman, of Rochester, has been nominated by the Democracy of the 10th District as their candidate for Congress. Mr. Z. has served the people of Marshall and Fulton counties four years very acceptably as State Senator and would probably have been renominated had not greater honors been thrust upon him. He combines many elements of success, is a political hustler from awaJJ back, and we predict that he wiil make it decidedly interesting for his Republican competitor, and although the District is Republican by a considerable majority we believe he can be elected if his friends give him the proper assistance.
