" The slight clerical error in the description of fractional town- ships 15, in ranges 4 and 5, by which they are placed in ranges 5 and 6, is not of any importance; the act plainly includes them in Bay county. * * * * "
This action of the Legislature and all the events in connection with the organization of Bay county, go to form one of the political affairs which agitated the political circles of Saginaw to their very depthis.
In 1864 Geo. B. McClellan opposed the war President. The merits of the former were many and much appreciated; but he who proclaimed the abolition of slavery from the highest seat in the Union, was destined to continue in its occupation some time longer. In 1868 Hon. Horatio Seymour, a Democrat, and a refined, en- lightened statesman, was nominated to oppose the fortunate Grant. Notwithstanding all the high qualifications which Mr. Seymour possessed, the man of the epaulettes was elected. In 1872 he was re-elected over the patriotic genius, Horace Greeley, as well as over the independent candidates.
The election of 1876 created much excitement in Saginaw politi- cal circles during its progress. Owing to the quiet administration of Mr. Hayes and the return of prosperity, the Republicans lost no ground by the political disputes consequent upon that election.
Throughout all the celebrated campaigns the citizens of Saginaw have as a rule voted in the interest of the Republic. They have always desired to witness the victory of virtue over vice, and have often been rewarded by the result of their battles.
The question of setting off part of the town of Kochville from Saginaw county and attaching it to Bay county was brought before the Legislature April 20, 1881. When the bill was called Mr. Es- tabrook rose to refute the arguments of Mr. Partridge, of Bay

HISTORY OF SAGINAW COUNTY.
county. The member for Saginaw talked and read for over an hour, and was still at it when time was called at noon. He re- sumed at 2 p. M. and continued his argument until 2:15 P. M., when Mr. Cobb joined in the debate. He spoke for half an hour, and was followed by Bloom, of Detroit, who appeared for the Kochville and Bay City side of the question. At about 3 P. M. Mr. Estabrook opened again in refutation of the arguments advanced by Messrs. Bloom and Cobb. Gorman, the one-armed orator of Washtenaw county, lifted up his voice for Bay City and the pleasant pastures over the river, and Capt. Henry Woodruff of Farwell, formerly of Saginaw, eloquently combatted the proposed session, on a point of its being poor State policy.
Finally Mr. Van Loo moved the previous question, shutting off all debate. A call of the House was ordered, which brought in most of the members from the lobbies, where the eloquence had driven them, and the vote was taken, resulting in 53 ayes to 27 nays. Mr. Esta- brook took the defeat very coolly, and by an apt remark prevented giving the bill immediate effect.
It is said that the great majority of the people of Kochville de- sired annexation to Bay county, on account of the little attention bestowed upon that quarter of Saginaw by the County Board. The cause and the effect should never have to be recorded.
In the following pages the results of the various elections, so far as this county is concerned, are given. It is not to be presumed, however, that the majorities given for State officers or members of the United States Congress by this county, led to their election in all cases.
ELECTION RETURNS OF SAGINAW.
The first election ever held in the county was that of April 4, 1831, which resulted in the choice of Gardner D. Williams as supervisor; Ephraim S. Williams, town clerk; A. W. Bacon, treasurer; David Stanard, overseer of Saginaw district; Eleazer Jewett, overseer of Green Point district, and Charles McLean, over- seer of the Tittabawassee district. Those officers were elected viva voce by 13 citizens.
The Presidential campaign of 1832 must have passed off quietly here, as there is no record of the vote taken. However, the Demo- cratic Jackson had the sympathy of the few white men then resid- ing here.
A review of the elections since 1833 to the present time is given in the following pages:
