Los Angeles herald., 1892-06-24

here and now, as the candidate for the
office OF vice-president, Michigan g
soldier chief justice, whom 1 have the
honor to present, and he will give the
entire fourteen. Make that nomination
and thousands of votes will be secured
for the national ticket in the doubtful
states of the union.
/ II respectfully submit that Michigan's g
candidate has elements of strength su-
perior to all candidates tor the nomina-
tion. He was a brave soldier and car
ries an armless sleeve. He is an able
lawyer, wise legislator and Q profound
jurist. He is strong with the people,
especially with the Grand Army of the
Republic. Trained in the tenets of
form stated by Jefferson and enforced
! by Jackson and Cleveland, he stands
for the equality of all citizens, for the
reserved rights of states, for the su-
premacy OF the federal government,
with constitutional limitations for the
assertion OF local self-government and
home rule. Such is our candidate. We
present the name of Hon. Allen G..
Morse, chief justice of Michigan, for
vice-president.
