The Goyernorship.
1. u. STEVENSON,
Editor Statesman,
From Detroit Journal.

From Detroit Journal.
To be or not to be next governor of Mich
igan? That is the question which puzzles
the minds of several eXcellentsSentlemen IN
this state.
1t is perfectly natural that the immediate
friends and political partisans of individual
candidates who are vocferously confident of
their ability to see farthest into the political
grindstone, should locate the winner in the
race with ease and freedom. Still it is pos
sible sometimes to acquire evidence of tru-
ly unbiased sort, which would or should
outweigh all other kinds. So, without any
reflections against other candidates the writ
er simply wishes to say that he has been &C
quainted personally with Hon. James O'Don-
nell for upwards of 20 years. That does
not seem long as we look back over the
ground, but 1t is long enough to look man
through more perfectly, and display his de-
ficlencies more effectually than the Y ray
does.
Yes, have known Mr.. O'Donnell way
back, and man with cleaner record soci-
ally. morally and politically, 1t would be
very difficult to find. He isn't an angel,
however, or he wouldn't be engaged in the
present contest, but he is man, every inch
OF him, wherever you choose to put him,
and blessed with the most suave and equit-
able disposition that ever fell TO the lot of
mortal.
In addition to this, the fact that by his
own unaided effort he has worked his way
up from poor boy to his present enviable
position, shows that he has an immense
amount of executive ability withal, and the
detail of his business is attended to with as
much personal care and precision as mat
tiers of the more weighty variety. Every
one who knows him cannot help remarking
this, and how everything about his business
moves along without jar or fret or worry.
He is the same man day in and day out and
has the happy faculty also of minding his
own business strictly.
This is not stated as laudatory, because it
is not. 1t Is the simple fact, same as IL
would be IL / stated that the Journal is the
only republican paper published in Detroit,
saying nothing about its being the best, and
you republicans who don't know 1t, need to
be catching on to that fact p. d. q.
No, Pm simply telling you what you don't
know about a man that do know some
thing about, and they are truths and truth
hurts no .right-minded man. Further, the
voters OF this Observation-Disclosures had no
pet gubernatorial bug in her bonnet this
year-are coming to his standard on the
run. There has been great change in the
minds of men within the last few weeks,
and he has reaped the benefit, and still they
come without any whoop, or hurrah, but
they come.
His public career Is open to inspection of
all and the wayfaring man tho diabolical
idiot need not err therein. He is the man
for the place and should and will be elected.

Escanaba Journal: While the Journal

Escanaba Journal: While the Journal re-
grets that Stanley w. Turner will soon
cease to serve this state in the capacity of
auditor general, in which position he has
conducted its affairs In an admirable and
economical manner, it is pleased to know
that there is little doubt but that Mr.. Turner
will be succeeded by man capable in every
way to fill that responsible position. We
refer to o. G. Tompkins, whom it is gener-
ally conceded, will be nominated at the state
convention on the republican ticket. Mr..
Tompkins is eminently fitted to step into
Mr.. Turner's shoes. He now holds re-
sponsible position in the latters Office and is
thoroughly acquainted with the affairs of
the Office. While at Detroit last week the
writer met Mr.. Tompkins and found him a
very affable and pleasant gentleman, with a
large and influential acquaintance among
the leaders in the republican party.

For Member of State Board of Education

For Member of State Board of Education.
1t has been many years since Shiawassee
county has had candidate on the republic
can state ticket. The county has continued,
however, to furnish as large share of the
republican majority, proportionally. as any
county in the state. 1t has stood by the
candidates from all districts and generally
favored the nomination of the best men for
Office. In the matter of appointments the
county has never asked but very small
share and 1t has furnished workers in any
and all departments.
For the campaign of 1896 the Shiawassee
county delegation will present to the state
convention candidate for the nomination
OF member Of the state board of education
in the person of j. W. Simmons, superin-
tendent of the Owosso city public schools.
They will present his name because they
believe him to be better qualified than any
man In Michigan who desires the Office. Mr..
Simmons is middle aged man, exceedingly
active, social and prudent
Owosso has had several superintendent
who have good regulations and made good
records wherever they have been and Mr..
Simmons is the leader of all these. He has
brought the Owosso schools to standard
seldom equaled and never surpassed.
Trouble in the schools Is almost an unknown
quantity, and the superintendent is held in
the highest respect by pupils and teachers.
AS business man 1t is safe to say Mr.. Sim
mons is the best qualified among the candi-
dates for this nomination. de is popular
man, yet leader in everything in public
way.

The contest for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation seems to be absorbing almost the
entire attention of Michigan republicans
1t night be as well for the interests of the
party if some consideration was given to
the balance of the ticket. One of the i'm
portant positions is that of State treasurer,
its incumbent being member of the State
board of auditors, which board passes upon
many bills and can often keep expenditures
down il they are so inclined. This makes
it imperative that whoever is selected for
this Office should be a careful and thorough
business man, one who is posted on the
needs of the state and all its affairs; one
who is in every way above reproach and
who has had experience along financial
lines. Such man we believe Hon. Geo.
A. Steel, of st. Johns, to be. He is well
known all over the State as an earnest
party worker. His training in business
affairs fits him in splendid manner for
State treasurer. We hope he will be nomi-
mated.

After meals you should have simply a
feeling of comfort and satisfaction. You
should not feel any special indications
that digestion is going on. If you do,
you have Indigestion, which means not
digestion. This may be the beginning
OF SO many dangerous diseases, that it is
best to take it in hand at once and treat
it with Shaker Digestive Cordial. For
you know that indigestion makes poison,
which causes pain and sickness. And
that Shaker Digestive Cordial helps d.
gestion and cures indigestion. Shaker
Digestive Cordial does this by providing
the digestive material in which the sick
stomach is wanting. 1t also tones up
and strengthens the digestive organs and
makes them perfectly healthy. This is
the rationale OF it's method OF cure, as
the doctors would say. Sold by druggists,
price 10 cents to $1.00 per bottle.
