The State Ticket.

The State Ticket.
FIR ON the Detroit Post and Tribune.
The Jackson convention did its work
we'll, and the people of Michigan will
add the seal of their approval with ma
jority of many thousands.
The state ticket is headed with the
name of an able, vigorous, and upright
man, who is identified with Michigan
and its interests, is well known to its
people, and has had varied and ample
public experience. David H. Jerome is
native of this state, having been born
i'm this city in 1929. His bOyhOOd was
spent in St. Clair county, and in his
early manhood he joined the army OF
California pioneers and spent some
months prospecting in the state. In
1854 he started a general store in Sagi-
nav, which is now represented by the
large and prosperous hardware firm of
ID. n. Jerome & Co. He proved thor
Ough merchant, and became at once pro-
minent i'm the politics and i'm the busi-
ness enterprises of Northern Michigan.
He held number of local positions OF
Importance, and was in 1862 elected to
the state senate and was reelected in
1864 and 1866. No man ever welded a
larger influence in the upper branch of
the Michigan legislature than he did,
and the statute books of the state to-day
bear the impress of his firm will, sound
Judgment, and practical knowledge. Mr..
Jerome was also active in the rising of
troops for the Union armies, and rem
dered important service in this direc-
ton; subsequently he was connected for
some years with the state military board.
In 1873 he acted as one of the commits
sion appointed to revise the state cOnSti-
tuition. Some years ago he was also ap-
pointed by President Grant member of
| the board of Indian commissioners, and
in this capacity has been called upon to
meet some exceedingly important trusts.
Mr.. Jerome has been the president of the
Saginaw and st. Louis railroad, and is
repOnsibly connected with many of the
institutions and enterprises of the Sagi-
nav valley. He will take into the gov
ernOr's Office clear head, clean hands, a
stiff back bone, and most useful famil-
iarity with the history, needs. and men OF
| his state.
The nominee for lieutenant governor
is one of the young Republicans of the
| important county of Kent. MOreau S
Crosby was born in Manchester, n. Y,
in 1889, graduated at Rochester univer.
sity, and in 1859 settled in the city OF
Grand Rapids. His record there is thai
of an enterprising and successful bust
ness man. In addition to holding lOca
offices he was elected member of tht
state senate from his county in 1873
He was influential in that body, and has
since been useful member of the STATE
commission on penal and refOrmatOrN
institutions. His name adds positive
strength to the ticket.

retary of state. He is native of New
