A Brief sketch of the Republican Candi-
date for Mayor
Chulrman county OOmn
FRED CUTLER JR, Secretary

A Brief sketch of the Republican Candi-
date for Mayor.
The man who heads the Republican
city ticket is in every way we'll quail
flied for the important Office. His ex-
perience, not only in business matters
but in state and national affairs also,
eminently fits him for the position.
Although having resided in this city
only about one year, during which time
he has invested money in business and
purchased home, he is no stranger to
Bedding, to Otisco, or Ionia county.
Fifty-one years ago he came with his
parents TO Grattan and settled few
miles west of this city, stopping at
Levi Broas' short time enroute. He
worked on the farm and attended
school at Cook Corners with Hon. j..
D. Morse, Ben Morse, Lyman Grove,
Dan S. Root, and others, VIM. Ball
and Nancy Anderson being teachers at
the time.
When the war broke out he enlisted
and at its close came home, having
been commissioned major during his
service. He went..tQ Grand Rapids,
wgY6 p s a1 ~AS artery ara, re-
moIld tos,scsNford wbt re he rslr6hssed
saw mill and was acknowledgement
in numbering. Later he became owner
OF the Touring mills. He served two
terms in the State Legislature and was
appointed Inspector of Indian Affairs
receiving his appointment from Gen
Grant, which Office he held with credit
and honor.
While at Rockford he had a contrac
TO grade and tie the Rockford &
Greenville railroad, with over 200 met
in his employ, and although the rail
road company failed and left him il
the lurch. he paid his men every dolla
due for labor.
He was warden of the S. H. of c.. a
Ionia under Governors Jerome, Alger
and Luce.
Elect him mayor and you will hav,
no cause to regret your action.

NOW FOR VICTORY.

The excellent tickets nominated by
the republicans Monday night in both
the city and ward caucus cannot fail
OF commanding the earnest and hearty
support of every republican voter in
the city, for certainly no valid objec-
ton can be raised against a single can
didate on the tickets. Perfect har-
mony prevailed in the contest of select
ing them and the qualifications of each
in the particular Office named is un-
questionable.
The republicans in caucus did their
work, and they did it we'll. 1t now
only remains for them TO stand by the
nominees with voice.and vote until the
closing of the polls next Monday, and
a decisive victory will result.
This is a year above all others when
republicans should concentrate their
strength and make it manifest when
ever occasion calls for the showing OF
its hand, victory or defeat in local
affairs when drawn on party lines has
its influence in State and National pol
itics. Victory inspires confidence and
has decided tendency in solidifying
sentiment into power for use when
occasion requires.
Let no republican be swerved from
the duty he owes to his party by argu-
ments that candidates on oppo-
sition tickets are better qualified or en-
titled TO election. They are not spurn
all offers to trade candidates and vote
the ticket STRAIGHT.
