HOMER WARREN FOR GOVERNOR.

THE candidacy of Homer Warren, of
Detroit, for Governor, has been received
all over the state with enthusiasm and
favor, and with the entire Wayne county
delegation of 1876 votes as a nucleus it
looks as though Mr.. Warren will be a
very dangerous candidate for the honor
This is one of the rare instances in
Michigan politics where the office seeks
the man rather than the man seeking the
Office, and with the precedent that has
long been established by the politicians
OF the state, it certainly requires a good
strong nerve for a man without a barrel
of money behind him to even think of
aspiring to the office of Governor but a
man with a spotless record, such as Mr..
Warren possesses, is a consistent cham
pion of primary reform, movement that
is bound to be popular, as the people in
all parts of the state are demanding it,
and ought to have it, cannot help but
command the respect and support of the
masses.
While Senator Alger has not openly
taken issue in the gubernatorial race, he
has always been a very close friend of
Mr. Warren S and is very fond of him.
Justus s. Stearns pays the following
glowing tribute to the new aspirant for
Office: "Homer Warren is an exemplary
citizen and a splendid type of the Amer
lean politician. He is candor itself and
his integrity has never been assailed. 1t
is a great satisfaction to contest with a
man like Homer Warren, who will scorn
to decend to trickery and subterfuge."
Mr.. Horton has written a letter of cons
graduation to Mr.. Warren, on his en-
trance in the race, with the best wishes
of success.
The upper peninsula is very enthusiast
tic over Mr.. Warren's candidacy and
strong assurances of support are being
received from every locality.
With no debts to pay to any machine,
Mr.. Warren would give to the state all
administration quite in contrast 10 that
which it has long been accustomed to and
Democrats and Republicans alike would
rally to his support.

THE HOMER WARREN CAMPAIGN.

The Detroit Evening News gives the
following statement as to what the electors
of Michigan should expect if they nomi-
nate Mr.. Homer Warren:
"The people of Michigan are advised
that there is no money behind the Homer
Warren candidacy. Those who are out
for money must look elsewhere.
"Mr Warren is not rich man and
accepts the candidacy at a personal sacri-
fee. He certainly cannot be expected to
put up money for the nomination. 1t
ought practically to cost him nothing.
"Then there is no wealthy corporation
backing him, whose servant he would be
when elected, and not a dollar is being
contributed to his campaign with any
expectations of personal returns in any
