SOME PARTY LEADERS.

HomlneM for Governor in Various States* James M. Turner, tfie Republican nominee for Governor of Michigan, was born In Lansing in 1850. He wa« edu-

eated in the commonschool at Lansing, and finished his rudimentary training with a course in the academy at Cazeno--1 via, N. Y. Showing early in life an aptitude for ■“business, he found emkpioyment when but 16 years of age in a country store. He remained two years there and then en-

tered tho land office of the Jackson, Lansing and Saginaw Railroad. Ho was given charge of surveys and the examination of lands. In 1876 he was elected to fthe Michigan Legislature, where he served one term. He was the first paymaster of the lonia and Lansing Road. He is now President of the State Agricultural Society, and Mayor of Lansing. E. B. Winans, the Democratic opponent of Mr. Turner in the race for gubernatorial honors in Michigan, was

born in New York State, 64 years ago, moved to Michigan in 1834, and was educated in the district schools and at college. He had the gold fever in 1850, and went to California in a wagon. He mined foreight years, r e-; turned and bought a farm near the little town of

Hamburg, and has lived there ever since. Mr. Winans is a practical farmer and a thorough granger. He may be seen any day with his overalls rolled to the top of his old boots busy at some agricultural work. He has served two terms in Congress. Hon. Eugene Henry Bolden, who has been placed in nomination for Governor by the new Industrial party of Michi-

gan, was born fifty years ago on a farm In H'anover, eight miles from Jackson, Mich., and educated at the Michigan Central College,of Springport. In 1886, while ,a member of the Legislature, he was made Chairman of the Committee on Roads and Bridges and had charge of the revision

of the highway laws. Mr. Belden is at present a hardware merchant in Jackson. Governor William D. Hoard, at the recent Republican State Convention in Wisconsin, was chosen by acclamation as

The candidate of his liarty for a second term, and he is now engaged in a lively contest with George W. Peck for the Chief Magistracy of the Badger State. Gov. Hoard is about, 60 years old. He served with gallantry In the civil war, and at the close of that struggle sot-

tied down as a farmer, at which he has been eminently successful. Ho is also editor of Hoard’s Dairyman , the leading journal of the Northwest devoted to the dairy interest. George W. Pock, the nominee of the Democrats for Governor of Wisconsin, was raised in the Badger State, and is

about 50 years old. Ho is a practical pi inter, having served his apprenticeship in the office of the old LaCrosse Democrat, under Brick Pomeroy. He served witli credit in the army, •and after the close of the war edited a news- • paper in LaCrosse. Subsequently, about 1875, ho established in that

v city Peck's Sun, which he removed to Milwaukee two or three years later. It was his weekly humorous sketches of “The Bad Boy and His Pa” that brought him first into public notice. His paper reached an enormous circulation, and money poured into his coffers in a golden stream that fairly dazzled tie eyes of the successful humorist. Personally George Peck is one of the most popular of men. . A year

ago he was elected Mayor of Milwaukee. , In Delaware the Republican nominee for Governor is Harry A. Richardson,the yrfungest man upon whom such an honor has ever" been conferred by I either party of the little commonwealth. He is a native of Car.iden,

Del., and was born thirty-seven years ago. The present is his first appearance

in the political arena. He is in business with his father at Dover, and has the reputation of being wealthy. The Democratic gubernator i a 1 nominee in Georgia was Hon. W.J. i Northen, who was chosen without opposition at the State election held Wednesday, Oct.

1. Mr. Northcn is a man of accomplishments and wealth, somewhat past the prime of life, but still vigorous and able to endure Ihe tatigues of a campaign.

There may come to you some time a crisis in life when your faith is in total eclipse, when the heavens hang in blackness of darkness above you. In such a crisis remember that it is better to be honest thau dishonest; better to be pure than to be corrupt, to be courageous than cowardly, to be loving and sweet of spirit than to be embittered ai*d to hate, better to hope than to despair.— F. W. Robertson, from Bem\on in Westminster Jbbey. A battling game—dice. J
