and 10 the general public. He y
sound lawyer and all able Judge. Some
Of the most intricate and delicate cases
that have come within tue lur sdlcton
of any Michigan Judge have been de-
clded by him TO the satisfaction Of al
concerned. lie is well yersed IN con-
stltuuonai law, and the democrats are
great stieklers for constltutionsllty
these days. They are joined ia an
alliance with the party that would de-
base nstlonal currency and rum pub
he credit. We must nominate q man
who can add great strength 10 the
ticket and assist IN overpowering this
unholy alliance. We need strong
man, and such man is the Hon.
Frank A. Ho ker of Charlotte.
Judge Psaier.
When the Fourth district was called
for B. T.. Andrews OF ST. Joseph pre-
senied the name OF Judge X. K. Pealer
OF Three Rivers.
lie called attention 70 tho great i'm
portance of the action of the conyen-
uOn, and far-reaching consequences OF
the days work. lie declared that the
geography OF Michigan ought TO be
considered in the nomination of can
didate. He appealed for place on the
ticket for large section OF the state
not now so represented, but always
Loyalty and strongly republican. He
euloglEed Judge Pealer as brave
union soldier IN the Sixteenth Pennsyl-
yanla regiment. Afterwards ho took
an academic course aud became q
lawyer IN 1867. lie has always been a
sound, strong lawyer. He served Elk
years as Judge OF the Branch-St. Joseph
circuit. lie served as member OF the
| legislature and was one of the strong
useful members of that body-hls work
has stood the test of time and the scru-
| tiny of the courts and every measure
that he voted for was without legal
plan. He Is u worker for republican
principles, and his nomination would
help the party III the section of the
state and strengthen the entire ticket.
Judge Mitchell.
The Hon. w. o. Webster of Ionia.
in behalf of the fifth district. presented
the name of the Hon. W. w. Mitchell
of that city, who was as good law
yer, a man OF ripe experience, man
of mature judgment, the equal OF any
man at the bar of Michigan. He de-
cared Judge Mitchell TO be a man
whom all lawyers who have met him
know to be a good ally and a danger
Gus opponent, both in civil and crlml-
nal cases. He is q republican, has
| Away been; he is q native or the state
os Michigan, in which the republican
party was born. The first vote he ever
cast was for the republican ticket. The
| democrats have CHOSEN both their NOM
lnees for governor and for attorney
general from Ionia county, and We
want something to offset that, not only
TO help elect a good judge, but to help
elect republican congressman and a
republican elector. He thought Judge
Mitchell would do much 10 defeat
Morse and Ellis IN Ionia county and IN
this portion of the state.
| Judge Cahin.
When the sixth district was called
| the Hon. ID. ID. Altken of Genesse, re-
| publican nominee for congress IN that
| district, took the floor. He was loudly
! applauded as he began his speech. He
said that representatives from the east
| and the west, from the north and the
south, from all parts of the Compass,
and representing ali the industries of
the state, had recently had Il meeting.
| They all belonged to the gerry
| dered sixth district and had decided
| upon candidate for associate justice
! of the supreme court. He said that III
| 1862, when Benjamin Harrison and
| Grover Cleveland's substitute were
struggling against armed rebellion IN
the south. a boy yet IN his teens, type
| setter, fired with patriotism, went to
the front, aud served three years glor-
| iously. Then he came home, devoted
| himself TO the law. When Michigan s
| governor, later. had TO fill the vacancy
caused by the death of the illustrious
Campbell, among all the eminent jur-
lists IN the state, he chose Judge Ed
ward Canill. Did he do well? You al
know that he did. There - no ADLER
| Jurist or cleaner man IN Michigan today
than he. Remember that the candi-
date of this convention will be tina nonl-
inee next spring. Remember by that
| time Morse will have retired from ms
| present rainbow hunt and will be read y
TO run for justice again. We need a
man that can strengthen the ticket
and Judge Edward Cahill is the man.
