AFTER FEDERAL JOB.
Secretary Canfield Has Earned
Something Good.
Our friend, A. R. Canfield, editor-
of the Courier, bas stood for tbe>
democracy through tblck and thin,
and bas done it no small service in
this state as Secretary of its State
Central Committee.
Now that the party sees a light a-
head for two years Mr. Canfield
naturally and laudably looks to bio
party to hand bim something to
compensate for tbe many lean years.
Tbe particular thing be would like
to land, and for which be is eminently-
well fitted, is as tally clerk of tbe
federal bouse. He received strong
encouragement.
Michigan democracy if united and
reasonable in their demands can undoubtedly secure a place or two for
the faithful in the new house. No-
one of their party in Michigan has a
better claim than Mr. Canfield. He-
goes to Washington this week for a
'conference. lie has tbe Sentinel's
best wish that he may win out.
