A second attempt was made by our
Jail birds to get out of their cage this
week. They succeeded in getting
hold of file from the little negro boy
George. who set FIRE to the house Of
A. Shelby some time since, ADD who
has been allowed considerable free
dom Of late. Having fled loose from
their shackles. they were hard at
work on the door which they started
on last week. and would have been
out in short time but for the timely
discovery Of MIR. Jeter who happened
to be down town at late hour.
The prisoners claimed to have got
rid of their irons by using . spoon
az file. but that story was coDsid-
cred too "tin." A whip was used on
them for while. when they produc-
ed the file with which the work had
been done. The lash was q very sue
cessfnl agent in this instance. but it
was used without warrant or author
ity. The law provides punishment
for jail-breaking, and while it makes
it the dnty Of the officers TO see to
the safe keeping Of prisoners. it does
not allow them to inAict punishment.
and when they doIit they are trans
crossing their authority.

the governor has not done all things just sx-
| actly to suit every one Of us. III he had he
| would have been the poorest executive
the state ever had [Laughter.] Why there
was once a man who recommended me to be
appointed to an Office by the governor The
man died [laughterl and | did not get the
office. You may look at this subject in all its
bearings and there is nothing that will justify
the Republican party of the state of Michigan
in departing in this instance from its time
honored custom of giving a faithful public
servant a denomination to the high office OF
governor of this state [Applause.l l say
| that you may judge the present executive by
any standard that you may raise as to his
fairness, as to his high mindedness, as to his
attempt to do what is right, as TO his desire
for the public welfare. You may judge
him by any of these standards
illustrious line that includes such
men as Blair and Bagley ~ and
| Baldwin. [Applause.] l sincerely trust
that this great convention, representing the
Republican party of this noble state, will
give to our executive its solid vote and
hearty support remembering that we cannot
all of us have our own way. [Applause.l
THE NOMINATION SUPPORTED.
The nomination of Governor Jer-
ONE was supported Dy II. D.
Stockbridge in behalf of Kalamazoo
county and by the united delegation from
Lenawee.
Gen. Hartsuff of st. Clair thought
there was no need of ballot. Gov. Jerome
ought to be renominated by reclamation.
Col. Croul of Wayne, in behalf of the GA
delegates from that county, supported the
denomination of Jerome who was further
supported by the delegates from Calhoun,
| Hillsdale and Genesee.
Mr.. Lunger of Wayne-In the LIST district
delegation there are a number of tickets

| AS member of that delegation 1 wish it to

delegation knows very we'll that Mr.. Palmer

mine will take no part in presenting my name
at this time [Applause.l 1t would subject

we shall have at least received all the
consideration, both for ourselves and
for. our ideas, consistent with the
good OF the party. 1t is
will which alone can make the continued
success of the Republican party possible.
Let,every. Republican be careful how any
act Or omission of his impairs its efficiency.
Many OF the men who for quarter of cen
fury stood to the front have passed on
Bingham, Wisner, the two Towards, Chand-
Ter, Bagley and a host of others. 1t remains
with US to continue their work. Let it not
be said we were faithless to our trust. [Long
