The Republican Nominees.

Hon. CYRUS G. LUCE, candidate for govern
or is buckeye by birth, and is sixty-one
years of age. He has long been recognized
as one of the leading men of Michigan, and
has often served the people in official posi-
tons of more or less importance and always
with honor to himself and credit to his con-
stituents He has been master of the state
grange for the past five years which of itself
shows his popularity among his brother
farmers of the state. He is personally ac-
quainted, probably, with as many men i'll our
state as any other individual and is univers-
ally liked and respected. He resides on his
farm in Gilead, Branch County, several miles
from Bronson, his nearest railroad station,
and is farmer by occupation, calling that
he has followed all his life. There is every
prospect of his election and he will take high
rank among the good governors" for which
Michigan is noted.

sixteen years, coming TO America poor boy
and engaging as a common laborer at what
ever honorable work he could find to do,

phatically self made man and very popular,

tratiou of what intelligence, thrift, honesty
and push will do for man in free country
like ours.
GIL X. OsMUN, our popular nominee for
secretary of state, is either known, or known
of, by nearly every man, woman and child in
Michigan. The only thing which is not
creditable to him is that be was born in New
Jersey, but he was so young at the time that
it doesn't hurt his reputation to any great
extent. GIL is forty-one years old and was
member of the Goth y. Y. infantry. His
army record is an honorable one and the
several scars he bears upon his person are
testimony to his bravery as a soldier. Of
late years he has been engaged in newspaper
work and has displayed marked talent in
that direction. During Governor ALGER's
term he has been his private secretary. A
wide and extended acquaintance, his recog-
nized ability and admirable record make GIL
strong candidate.

state treasurer, was New York boy but came
to Detroit with his parents in 1S47, when
but four years old, and has grown up
thorough Michigan man. He was a soldier
with an honorable military record that is

HENRY II. APLIy the genial "TIP", is
resident of West Bay City. He was born in
1s41 in Genessee County in this state and. at
the age of twenty-one years, enlisted as
private soldier in the 10th Mich. infantry
and served in that regiment for period of
four years, from July 1861 to July 1865.
Just before his discharge he was commits
stoned as second lieutenant but never mus
tered as such. As soldier his record was
untarnished and as civilian he stands high
in the estimation of the people. He is
especially popular with the laboring men of
the Saginaw valley, who will quite generally
support him regardless of party. "TrP" has
done them so many favors in the past that
they rejoice at an opportunity to show their
appreciation of them.
