GOV. JERoME's NAME PRESENTED.
Capt E. P. Allen then presented the name

speech. He said:
Mr.. CHAIRMAN: l rise to nominate, as his
own successor to the high Office of govern
or of this commonwealth, the Hon.
David II. Jerome [Applausel The good
book tells us that there are varieties of
glory. There is one glory of the sun, an
other of the moon and another of the stars;
and one star differeth from another
star in glory" The Republican par
and one of its chief glories is that in all its
long array of executives of the state of
Michigan from Bingham to Jerome not
single governor, who has been elected by the
Republican party, has failed to add fame
and strength to the glory of the state ZAP
plause] During all that time every man
elected. And every one that has been elect
ed for the first term has been
reelected for a second term lap
plausel, save one who afterwards gave
his life for his country That being
the case the next question to be decided by
that form of procedure. l want to say here
that it is another glory of the Republi-
can party that it tolerates great
deal of difference of opinion among
its own members We do not all think
alike and yet this party that has made this the
empire state of the west, the party that has
given Michigan a name and fame every
where, will acknowledge that men
may disagree upon minor points and yet
agree upon all the great essential and stand
shoulder to shoulder in the face of the COM
mon enemy. [Applause.] We have presented
for denomination to-day man who has
been the executive OF this state for two
years and his friends who are resolved that
there shall be
NO sMoTHERED PUBLIC OPINION,
that there shall not be the remotest suspicion
of anything that looks like cowardice,
have invited this convention to take an in
formal ballot that if its members have any
one candidate whom they prefer they may
have full opportunity of saying So 1t is
one of the glories Of the Re
publican party that it has not tied
itself irrevocably to the past, but that it
marches on and on. ever better, onward and
upward. That being the case, the present
executive of the state of Michigan accepts
the issue by an informal BALLOT and now L
appeal to the Republicans of the
state of Michigan that upon that
informal ballot you, representing
the party, should do him the honor to tender
to him the reorganization [applausel, unless
you believe that a man must have the same
opinion upon every subject that every other
man has. The present executive of the state of
Michigan has opinions of his own; he does
not make any donial of that He does not
ask YOU to agree with him on all subjects;
but challenge any man In this state to
point to one act of his as the
executive of this great commonwealth
that is subject TO criticism. Applause
Point TO one public duty that has been
neglected. Tell me of one measure that
should have received his attention which has
been sighted.
you WILL LOOK IN VAIN FOR THIS.
Our friends of the opposition have mag
nifed mole hills into mountains, but they
have done IL for the simple reason that they
have everything 60 gam and nothing to lose,
and say here to-day that there is not sol
itary good reason why this convention
should not follow the lead of all Republican
