The republican nominee for auditor
general, is another who is particularly
fitted for the duties of the important
Office to which he will, in November,
be chosen. He was born at North Fair
field, o., July Is, 1S43, and moved with
his parents to Hillsdale county, Mich,
in 1851. Later he studied at Hillsdale
college, and when the war broke out
was one of the first to go to the front.
He enlisted as private in the First
Michigan sharpshooters; was promoted
to captaincy and was captured at the
mine explosion in front of Petersburg.
After the war he moved to Ingham coun-
ty and studied law with Hon. H.. l.. Hen
derson. He was elected county clerk
of that county in 1866, and in 1868 and
1876 was again recognized by his party
by being elected to represent his district
in the state legislature. He was chair
man of the republican county commit
tee of Ingham county for eight years.
In 1877 he removed to Roscommon
county, where he has since resided and
where he has been engaged in practic-
ing law and in dealing in Michigan and
Arkansas pine lands.
In 1888 he was elected to the state
legislature, in a democratic district,
over j. Maurice Finn, now the demo-
cratic candidate for congress in the
Twelfth district

Gov. Luce, approaching his ripe expert
ence as a public man and his good
sense and Judgment, voluntarily ap.
pointed him state railroad commissions
or in 1887 and reappointed him two
years later. The duties of no position
ne was ever called upon to fill were
executed more creditably to himself
ana satisfactorily to the state
ana all parties concerned than those OF
TINS very important Office. His thor
ough and conscientious administration
OF the responsible duties of the Office
won him the respect of the railway
homogeneous of Michigan and the con.
hdence and regard of the employees OF
the lines. His habit of personally
making Investigations and associating
with the men and faculty OF remem-
bering them afterwarG made him SO
popular that delegstion OF the en-
ployes went to Gov. ynce In 1889 and
requested Mr.. Richs reappointment.
At no time was thee ever complaint
made of any unjussdecisions or of any
that favored the railroads as against
the people.
Mr.. Rich is in the prime OF LIE, OF a
genial and sunny nature, atfable and
approachable. He is just six feet tall,
weighs in the neighborhood of two
hundred pounds and is picture of
splendid physical manhood, the re-
suit of a thoroughly temperate
and happy life. His commanding pres
ence and we'll knit figure,
forid complexion. bright eye and
pleasant smile, make him an attractive
figure wherever he may be. And yet,
with all his strong individuality, no
characteristic is more pronounced than
his retiring disposition, his modesty
and his plain, unassuning manner of
both dress and speech. He is easy as a
conversationalist and possessed of
fund of good humor that makes him
exceedingly agreeable. Mr.. Rich is
friend to his friends, honest and
straightforward in all his relations
with his fellow-man, and no one ever
charged him with duplicity in the
slightest degree. A man of simplicity,
sincerity and integrity, double dealing
and faithlessness would be entirely
foreign to him. These qualities of per-
feet honesty and sincerity in all his
dealings are the corner stones of his
unbounded popularity.

The popular and eloquent young re-
publican who is the republican NOM
inee for lieutenant governor is preem-
inently fitted for the duties which W ill

partment of the Chicago e. Northwest
ern railroad for one year. He purchased
the Cadillac News and Express in 1882,
which he conducted with signal ability
in connection with his law practice for
several years. He is now an honored
resident of Cadillac. Mr. Giddings was
elected to the state senate in 1886 and
again in 1883, in both instances by large
majorities. During both sessions he
was one of the most conscientious and
painstaking members, as he was one of
the most eloquent and effective of debat-
ers. In the latter session his populari-
ty was attested by his selection as tenn
porary president of the body, posi-
ton which he filled with dignity and
success. He has held no office except
that of state senator.

HON. JOHN w. JOCHIM.

1t has always been said, and truly, OF
the Scandinavian people, that wherever
hey are, in the old world or in the
new, they are noted for their honesty,
loyalty; and these rich qualities belong
to all classes. They are always re-
liable, and nothing but good can be
said of them. Those who have been
associated with them in the mining
region and elsewhere have found them
true blue at all times, thrifty, pro-
gressive, and a people this country will
ever be ready to welcome.
