Mr.. Ferry's Campaign.

Mr.. Ferry's campaign for the republi-
can nomination for governor of Michigan
is being conducted with the same dignity
and honesty that has characterized all
his career, both in public and private
life. 1t is the high privilege of every
American citizen to aspire to political
preferment Mr.. Ferry has not hereto
fore been such an aspirant, although al
ways an energetic, working republican
and interested in the party's cause Now,
having achieved success and honor in
a legitimate business career, nothing is
more natural than that he should desire
to round out credtable and useful life
record with the high honor of the COVER
norship of the great state of Michigan
This is from the standpoint of the candi-
date; but, however honorable the ambi-
ton or ardent the desire on his part
nomination and election could not justly
be expected to come to him unless the
best interests of the party and the people
would be served thereby With view
To determining this phase of the situa-
ton, it is well that the people should be
as familiar as possible with the mans
life and character.
Since 1852 he has been resident of
Detroit, being then 10 years of age, and
without business experience except a
year spent in the city of Rochester, where
he came boy fresh from work on the
farm. From the time of his coming to
Detroit, his career has been one of bus
mess progress and success, a standing OF
honor and integrity having been estab'
lished second to that of no man in the
state metropolis, and all the time he has
been identified with the growth of the
city and with its charitable and educa
tional affairs.
He has never before sought political
office, and his nomination and election
could not fail to crafty those sensible
people who are always urging the i'm
portance of business men taking active
part in politics, and deploring the fact
that politicians and bosses control the
affairs of all parties and monopolize the
offices for their own benefit Mr. Ferry
is above all else a business man of the
best type, and his sagacity and iudg,
ment would prove of vast advantage &c
the people of the state at the present
time. Mr.. Ferry's success has not been
the result of happy chance, lucky in.
vestment or fortunate speculation, where
fortune came to his hand in spite of him.

starting absolutely without capital, he
has by his own foresight and business
ability won for himself an honorable sue.
cess. Such financial ability and care is
rare indeed, and is surely equal to the
administration of the affairs of the state
of Michigan.
No man in the race for the governor
ship has higher claims for the office. No
man in the race has a cleaner personal
record or better ability The republican
party would serve its own best interests
and do distinct service to the state by
his nomination and election to the high.

From the Niles Star:
FERRY IN THE LEAD.
The sentiment in this section has crys-

find four republicans favorable to Mr..
Ferry to one favorable to any of the
others. The Star has been in the same con-
dition on this question that many others
have, and while entertaining the warm

From the Sturgis Journal:
THE STRONGEST ca

Mr.. Ferry is the strongest candidate
for governor now before the republicans
of Michigan. Locality of residence will
not be the deciding factor in the nomi-
nation, but the man himself, his person
atty, his fitness for the position, his cit
izenship will be considered and while
all the candidates are worthy, Dexter NJ.

From the Dowagiac Republican

In long and honorable career, Mr.
Ferry has never given the least cause for
suspicion regarding his integrity of pur-
pose, or his ability to carry that purpose
into effect. He is an honest, sincere,
capable citizen: man of the type of
Lincoln, who believes that the people
should rule. And it seems to US that he
is just the type of manhood that is just
now especially needed for governor of
Michigan.
