MICHIGAN IN II CAB
MET.
Men Who Have Been Called
to the Presidents
Council.
Lewis Cass WAS Twice Chosen for
the Honor.
McClelland, Chandler, Dickinson and
Alger Complete the Roll.

Gen. Russell a. AIger will he
tue fifth Michigan mau honored by
4 place in tn. Presidents cabinet.
The honor, however has really been
conferred Fix times, for Lewis Cass
bad the good fortune to be called
to the presidential circle twice:
once as Secretary Of War, and la.
ter as Secretary Of State. Three
times has the honor fallen into
Democratic ranks; twice to the
credit of tue Republican party.
Alger and Chandler are tue pair
of hoaored Republicans; GAS,
McClellaDd and Dickinson the
trio picked from the Democracy.
Four times, therefore, has the De.
mocracy of Michigan been putfeJ
up with honest political pride thai
their ranks have been honored.
Edwin F. Chi did not quite grasp
the vacant seat Of Gresham, which
he really filed at a critical time
but in him, the Democracy had a
worthy representative for a period
in the chair of the Secretary of
State. Michigan has not been so
kindly treated by the Republican,
presidents as by those of the oppo-
site faith; but i'll the present iu.
stance, as in the naming Of Cass,
Chandler aud the others, the State
has received the honor, regardless
of party i'll a spirit OF pride.
Cass was without doubt the
greatest statesman Michigan ever
had III Washington. His name
will keep company with those of
the foremost leaders of the Rspub
lie. He might have been president,
had not the discussions of the
Democratic party defeated him,
He vas the only Michigan man
that got g % far as the the nomina-
tion. New York's Democracy kill
ed his hopes of election. Martin
Van Buren,, who may justly be
called the father Of the "spoils
system" was the Democrat most
responsible for his defeat.
Oass did more for the develop
ment of the Gold Northwestn than
any other man. He was born iu
1882, and the spirit of the times
was born in him. The opposition
to Great Britain that the revolu.
tionary times infused into his
blood never left him. 1t stirred
him when he was secretary VI
state at the breaking ont IF the
war. 1t killed the famous Gain.
tuple treaty when be was m1nist.,
to France. He was a New Eamp
shire lad and when 6 years old

and prowess Of Zachariah Chan.
der. BE was, next to Cass,
probably as able a man in many
ways as Michigan has sent to the
national capital. His name is
closely associated with Detroit
and the evidences of his fame and
fortune have not yet died out.
Chambers old home on West Fort
street is always an object ofinter-
est to be pointed out to the visitor.
He was mayor Of the city IN 1851
and that was the beginning of his
political career. He seemcd to
spring full armed and ready for
battle into the political arena.
His trinmphs were fast and thick.

ing incidents of his senatorial ca.
reor was q letter he wrote to Gov
Blair, known AZ the "bl0Od letter."
In it be said: "Without a little
blood letting this union will not in
my estimation, be worth - rush"
For the succeeding two terms
Chandler was returned to
the senate. In October, 1875,
Grant made him secretary of the
interior and he retained the office
until Grants retirement from the
presidency.
Again, in 1879, Chandler was
elected to the Senate to take the
place of Isaac +. Christiancy, who
resigned. 1t was in March of that
year that he made his famous
speech against Jefferson Davis, and
at once he Was regarded, in Michi
gan at least, as a Presidential pos
sibility. October 81, 1879, Ohand-
Ter went to Chicago to deliver a
political speech and the next morn
ing he was found dead in bed.
Chandler had a prodigous in1u.
ence upon Michigan politics aud,
indeed, upon the politics Of the na
ton. 1t was in the memorable
campaign of 1876 that he was chair.
man Of the National Republican
committee and worked for the sue.
cess Of Hays and Wheeler. II was
y great campaign and success near.

q hairs breadth he won.
Michigan's las: honored citizen to
occupy q cabinet position was Don
N. Dickinson, who took for \ year
the portfolio of Post. Master.G ener.
al under Cleveland in his first ad.
ministration, when Villas, retired.
Mr.. Dickinson is too we'll known
to require comment. His part in
the third Cleveland campaign jus
titled the suspicion that he would
be given almost his choice of cabi
net places, aud doubtless he might
have been we'll rewarded. But he
chose to remain in private life. The
light Of the present is not always
the best to judge menin. 1t seems
that the deeds are sometimes mag.
nifed BY the lapse of time. BE
that as it may, Mr.. Dickinson has
been accorded a large share of fat
tering encomiums, as = lawyer, a
politician and az q man. 1t may
he that time will enlarge even upon
the share given them already.

which they may not personally be respon-
sible fur. but which the State holds
against their property, and secure clear
title iron, the common wealth, which is
far better than all the warranty titles n
private individual can give in a life time,
they will feel better satisfied over the
