FOR STATE TREASURER.

The Republican party of Michigan
Is fortunate in one respect-it never
lacks for good timber out of which &c
make good officers. In the history OF
the party it is greatly TO its credit that
not "a stain rests upon It's administra-
ton of our State affairs. Honesty,
economy, fidelity, good judgment and
discretion have everywhere been ex-
hibited. 1t is record that no party
in any State in the Union can surpass.
and one which is equaled i'm but very
lew. This record should be perpe tua-
ted. We have ever had good Govern
ors-Inen who have taken a deep in
terest I'm having clean and honorable
administration. We are inclined also
TO give much credit to our State Treas
urers tor this honorable record. Such
men as John Owen, V. p. Collier. f.
y. Grosvenor, and the others who have
held that position, have been largely
instrumental in guarding the treasures
OF the State against the inroads of
those who would rest on beds of down
at the public expense. 1t requires a
peculiar talent for this office. 1t wants
a man who has the firm ,ess to say No |!
lt wants a man who knows the value
of money; who knows how to careful
ly and prudently and wisely use il;
who has himself the experience j..
handling. caring for and expending
large sums of money; indeed, man
who has so prudently managed his own
affairs that he has succeeded for him
self, and, having so succeeded, knows
how to manage for Others. Ii he has
been trusted by others, to that extent,
he becomes especially qualified for so
responsible position as that OF Treas
urer OF SO wealthy State us Michi-
gan.
For the office of State Treasurer on
the Republican ticket some names have
already been mentioned. We have no
word of detraction to apply to them;
but believing that it is free and good
natured fight we see no reason why
Coldwater should not enter the lists.
In this spirit of good will for all, but
with n preference for home product,
we present the name of George Starr,
cashier of the Coldwater National
Bank, as that of "A person eminently
qualified for the position. He is 43
years OF age, man of good educa-
ton, has had 26 years experience i'm
the banking business, and has held the
office OF cashier i'm the bank where he
now is ever since it's organization, over
II years ago. He began without
dollar in his pocket, and has steadily
acquired property until to-day he is
one of the "solid" men of Coldwa-
ter. he is we'll known throughout the
State TO the banking fraternity. His
knowledge of the business is thorough
ly practical and accurate. He has
made it study; has always been in
dustrious and painstaking, and has
won, by his close attention to business
and the integrity of his charac ter, the
confidence of the entire community
As IA member of the different Boards
he would be found prudent, economi-
cal, discreet, vigilant and Trustworthy
The Republican takes pleasure in pre-
sentiDg the name of Mr.. George Starr;
and if the Republican convention
should see fit TO nominate him, we
know it would never have occasion to
regret its action. RePu bill
can
III n with unusual pleasure that we
support the action of the Republican
in the presentation of the name of
George Starr as n candidate for State
Treasurer. Years of personal acquaint-
ance has but strengthened our regard
for him, and we claim that as thor
ough business man, of practical habit,
of firinness and decision of character,
as a man of probity and honesty, and
one peculiarly fitted for this important
trust, he has no superior in the State.
We hope to see him called to the place
by the State convention.
