of their political prominence to tho friendship
of MIR. Dickinson. and both are. with him,
striving to give the electoral vote Of their State
to their friend. Mr.. Cleveland. Mr.. Weston is a
lumberman and banker. and q good typo OF the
self-muds Western man. He was Treasurer Of
the State Democratic Committee before becom-
ing its Chairman and was popular and liberal
in the conduct Of Its business. He
Is a politician for diversion. The sue
cess OF the Democrats in Michigan means
no more to him than the satisfaction OF seeing
