Chairman of the Convention, early ex.
hibite3 love for the healthy aud emo
bling work of the farm, and, like most
of his brother farmers there, he thor.
oughly studied law. Added to this, he
sought a knowledge of parliamentary

over the deliberations Of this Reform
Convention with as much dignity as if he
had been familiar with public gatherings

He farmed as a member of the Constr

tanned the idea that the State Capital
should be removed from the barren
wastes of Iugham county to the fertile
plains of Jackson. In that large body
of his fellow citizens he seemed to be
the only man impressed with this idea,

State Capital of Michigan was most
burdensome thing to move. His mule
team wouldn't suffice He worked at
farm labor as Secretary of the Michigan
