terest IN public affairs, among the
ablest and best of our citizens; this
fact ought to insure such nominations
as will almost without effort, insure
their election by not less than $4,000
majority.
Among the positions to be
filled and for which new man is to
he selected, is that of Attorney Gen
eral, than which there is no more re-
sponsible position in the State. The
incumbent is the legal advisor of the
Governor, and other State officers,
and is the states legal representative,
has charge of all the interests of the
state in the Supreme court, whether
civil or criminal. That he should be
a man of unblemisbed character, de-
cided ability, and the highest legal
attachments, must be apparent to ev.

that IN the past history of the Repub-

all these requirements have been Sc
lected for that position, in evidence
we note that the place has been filled
by Jacob M. Howard, Charles Epson,
Byron ID. Ball. Otto Kirchner, Issac
Marston, Jacob ]. Van Ripper, and
others of like we'll known quali6ca-

for this position shall be man who

salary attached to the Office, discharge
the duties of the place with an ability
that shall equal that Of any one Of

The TINES thinks it can name a
man, who if nominated without effort
on his part, would accept the position,
one that certainly would fill the place
to the best interests Of the people of
Michigan, and with honor to himself.
The man we shall name is a native of
Michigan, having been born in the
township of Hadley, Lapeer county,
March 20, 1889. AT the breaking
oat of the war of the rebellion, he
enlisted as private in the 10th Mich

the grades to the rank of captain, be-
ing promoted for daring bravery on
the field of battle, on two different
occasions. At the battle of Buzz

he was badly wounded, and at Jones'
boro, he received shot in the left
leg that crippled him for life. Re-
farming from the field of carnage he
commenced the study Of law in 1867
with Judge Isaac Marston, at Bay
City, and was admitted as an attorney
ia 1860. In 1870, and again in 1872,
he was elected state Senator from the
then cath senatorial district, CON-
prising the counties Of Bay and Tus-

the chairman of the committee on
