the reports TO be absolutely un-
founded. Nnety-nine per cent. OF
the republicans of Grand Rapids are
said to be enthusiastic for Patton's
reelection, and every member OF the
Legislature from that city Will vote
for him when the time comes. Inc
friends and supporters OF Senator
Patton in Kent county and through

Just at present, and his chances are

There are mauy reasons Why Sena-
tor Patton should be retained in the
place to which he was appointed and
no valid reasons why he should be
turned down. Re has been placed
upon the threshold Of a public
career which is iul OF promise. lie
is equipped Tor that career; ne has
shown himself worthy the honor and
bids fair to honor, not only the
place for which he was selected by
Governor Rich, but as well tins state,
