According 10 tne census oil 1851, Iowa
stands second in the list of cereal-pro-
ducing States, her acreage and average
yield being alone surpassed by Illinois,
and she bids fair to take first place in
the near future. Iowa is rapidly coming
to the front as great coal-producing
commonwealth, ranking sixth in the bevy
of States in the area of her coal fields,
which cover $4,000 square miles, with a
production, by the census of 1870. Of 263, 3,4s7
tons per annum. In 1870 the number of
tons had reached 100000, and in 1881
there is every reason to believe that this
vast production has nearly doubled, SO that
it may be safely said that fully 100000
tons Of coal were mined in this State last
year. OF the ninety-nine counties in the
State, the jetty diamond has been found in
thirty eight, and twenty-six are now
yielding copious supplies of the fuel, which
leaves margin Of twelve counties to swell
the above number of tons mined in the
future. There are in the neighborhood of
four hundred aud sixty
Coal Mines Now in Active Operation,
giving employment TO an army Of over
5000 men, and the times are ripe for the
new embarkation of capital in the deyel-

The death Of Martin, the lion tanner, au-

The death of Martin, the lion tanner, au-
thor of Memories dun Dompteur," is n
nounced from Amsterdam. Unlike most
men of his dangerous calling, he died a nat
ural death at the ripe age of ninety, sur
rounded by his family. He was the first to
introduce wild beasts into the Franconi cir
Gus, and he was only once attacked by a lion
during the course Of his long career. His
collection of animals became the nucleus. of
the Geological Gardens at Amsterdam and
after officiating for some time as director of
the Geological Gardens at Rotterdam, he re-
tired to cultivate roses in the little Dutch
town of Oversize, where he remained to the
day of his death.

az Republicans TO present a solid runbroken

the governor has not done all things just sx-
actly to suit every one OF us. Ii 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 ~[laughter] and l 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 l~instance from its time
honored custom of giving a faithful public
servant a denomination TO the high office OF
governor of this state. ~[Applause.1 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
and he compares well with that
illustrious line that includes such
Baldwin. [Applause.l 1 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
The nomination of Governor Jer-
ONE was supported by \. b.
Stockbridge in behalf Of Kalamazoo
county and by the united delegation from
Lenawee.
Gen. Hartsuff of st. Clair thought
there was no need of a 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
marked 'Forg governor, Thomas w. Palmer
AS a member of that delegation l wish it to
he understood by the convention that this
delegation knows very well hat Mr.. Palmer
does not want to be governor now.
Mr.. Parker of Monroe-Not this time.
[Applause.]
Mr.. Palmer-I would say right here, gen.
tlemen, since this question has been brought
up, that / hope all those who are friends of
mine will take no part in presenting my name
at this time. [Applause.5 1t would subject
me to base imputations, which are entirely
undeserved. and it will be placing me in a
false light. SO / repeat, l hope that none of
my friends will cast a ballot for Thomas w.
Palmer.

we shall have at least received all the
consideration, both for ourselves ana
for tour 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 mon who for a quarter of a cen
fury stood to the front hav 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
continued ~applause.]
