I adopt this mode of advert icing my business
instead of employing agenfp. My object is, to
reduce the expense of the business as much as
possible, ho bv purchasing of me you pay no
agent fees. V on can also save the expense of
delivering the work if you chooae ; besides von
can select the Marble yourself.and see the lytla
ot it. as it will be, so there is no posaible chance
for being demived or being disappointed.
Hy taking this course, there ih a saving ot
from twenty to thirty percent accurding to
how far the purchaser comes.
Von can read: t see that the mnnev I nave, by

The Convention was called to order at 11 a. m.
by S. D. Finghatn. Chairnaan of the Htate Cen
tral Commitiee, v bo nominated F. M. Cutchcon
of Manistee as Temporary bairman, who on
taking tlK d.air spoke as follows:
Republican of Michigan : We stand to-day
at the threshold of the third decade of the Re
pubacau party of Michigan. For one-fifth of a
century tbis partv has held the reuis of power
in the Peninsular State. And, etanding as we
do to-day, and looking back over the record of
the past, we need not apologize for the record,
but oar proudly invite the criticism of the
world, and a comparison o! the Republican par
ty and its principles and acts with the princi
ples aad acts of the opposition.
Springing into existence twenty years ago
! this summer, it threw itself like a living wall
I before the advanco of American slavery, de
claring that the virgin c,oi of the Territories
should be forever free. Standing at first upon
that issue, from that hour up to the present
time 1 ho Republican party of the United states
has been the party of liberty, the party of prog
ress, the ;arty of reform : it has been in one
! word the patty of the Republic.
In times past it has devoted itself With entire
and royal devotion to tbo development and ad
vancement of all the great mental, material, in
dustrial, and politic ! Intaraatl of the republic.
With au eye "ingle to the upbuililing of the,
'present, and laying the foundation of a grand
and perpetual future. Ibis Republican party
!has gone stendilv forward, never taking one
step backward. Wo have written upon our
banner the motto of Hampden, the English
j revolutionist . ' We take no Htep lis ikward.1
In time of rebellion, tins grand Republican
party, which lias arisen with a patriotism, mag
nanimity, and determined devotiou, absolutely
with out a peer ia aneient or modern timen.
, actually drove back and crushed the foes of
I the Republic and banished treason from the
'land.
During the trying and perplexing hours of
' the Reconstruction period, that taxed to the
, utmost the resources of Amoncan statesman
j ship, it proved itself competent for the task,
and led us through this -tormv sea until we
rode serenely and securely in the harbor of
1 peace once more.
And we stand here to challenge a comparison
herween the record of thin party during all this
time and toe record of the parties which have
been opposed to us. While we have been the
party of progress, our opponents hare been the
party of reaction, the party of destruction tear
ing down nearly as fast as we could build up.
Rut on every noiut we have borne our banners
through the thickest of the fight, to victory and
and final success.
We stand Mere to-day to give to the people an
aa onnt of our stewardship, and we ask no in
dulgence. While we admit that in the trying
! hours of tbe reconstruction period, and in the
raoro tryim' opening hours of the rebellion, we
may have made mistakes, we offer no apolo
Igies, ask no pardon, but in vita a candid and
! fair criticism and comparison.
When we first planted ourselves on the plat
jform of tho non-extension of Blavery. and the
I Democratic party withstood us face to face and
steel to steel, we met and vanquished them,
j Then came on the times of rebellion, and we
1 crushed out treason : but the Democratic par
! tj, through four long years of bloody war loud
' ly cried, " No coercion." it opposed tha Eman
cipation Proclamation, opposed all legislation
on civil rights, and all hboral amendments to
tba Constitution.
Two years ago that great party laid down tho
banners it had carried for almost half a century,
and made an unconditional surrender of all tho
principles for which it had contended, by plac
ing at the head of its column one of tbe fath
ers of too republican party. Thereby it is said
to uh. "in all the years past ..u have been
right and we have been wrong.
And now, atanuing here to-day, at the end of
' two decades, and looking over the past ,we ask
by what Tarrant does tbe Democratic party ra
ti ai e tho Republican party to hand over to
! it the affairs of ( lovemment t P.v its surrender
I two years ago it declared its incompetency, and
i icknowledged that the Republican party was
tho party of ideas and progress.
Gentlemen of the Convention. I congratulate
you upon this happy anniversary, and I pre
dict ' at twenty years more of power and con
trol awaits ua, if we conduct oursolva with that
magnificent discresion and wisdom which has
led and guided ub in the past.
Mr. Childs, on taking the chair as President
ot the Convention, spoke as follows 1
Fellow Citizens, I never had until tbis mo
ment an intimation of tbe action of your com
mittee in inviting me to preside over your de
liberations. I nave not words to express my
surprise, or my sense of honor and gratitude
for tbis mark of your esteem and confidence in
choosing me to preside over this, tbe largest in
1 numbers of any Republican Convention ever
! convened in the State of Michigan. I will not
tako up much of your precious time by making
extended remarks ; but allow me to say that I
believe w ith you that tbo glorious and impor
tant mission of the Hepubiican party is not yet
ended. I believe tbe same Irovidence which
railed it into being has vet farther use for it :
and I may sa. perhapB. that there are greater
responsibilities to meet than uny it has previ
ously borne. ' nder the administration of that
party, questions vital to tho very existence of
our Government havo been settled forever, j
The dark cloud of disunion, which hovered over !
i the horizon, has been bani-I.ed from our polit-1
ical skies, never again to return. Tho exist-1
8MB Of Hm I mon is settled and indissoluble. I
Every great M'lest ion wMct 1 amc up has been
successfully settled by this party. In that glo
rious past record, to which we joint with pride,
is read the demand for a future continuance in
power of the Republican party. And there are
questions now agitating tbo public mind, of
vital importance to us, upon which perhaps I
partiea are not settled : and to no narty can our
country so safely commit then, unsettled ques
tions a to the Republican party. In the no
very distant future this nation, with its 10,000,- M usi rics. entitled The id State Road. Mai

GOV. RAGLE Y 'S SPEECH.
Mr. ( bairman and Fellow Republicans 1
I served my time at the bu-iness m which I
now am engaged with an old Puritan, a man of
the old school, riid in discipline. I gave him
(as most bovs I proanmo give their employers)
a great deal of trouble, and it seemed a pleas-
" , ' , , .
ure to him to tell me that I gave him trouble.
He used to scold, and no doubt I deserved it ;
hut I rmmher well after I ha 1 bad a week of
but I remember won, alter 1 na 1 had a ween or
pretty severe scolding, that I said to him one
dav, " Coionel. do I 0tMf do am thing riRht
m VVhv, of course vou do," be replied : " if you
' , , , , . , Lt-a.
did not, I should not keep you. I said to him,
" Wbv don't y.u sav bo then ;-" Well," be
replied M it vour dutv to do right, and vou

of Lake Huron and the Saginaws, the thought
came to me every day, on that grip, with every
revolution of the wheels of the locon. Jtive and
the steamboat, of the great aud varied interests
of M ichigan, and what a noble empire had been
entrusted to us. The thought came to me,
how closely allied are all these imerests one to
an(Jiuer. anu now me prosperny 01 outs is iu
prosperity of alL aud that a disaster to one in
terest is a disaster to all.
And 1 could not but think, during that tnp,
of these mighty aud valuable interests, which
had been intrusted to you. my fellow citiaens,
and through you to me. to help foster, protect,
encourage, and develop. These thing- make
me appreciate most heartily the honor and dig
nity of the position which you have once con
ferred upon me, and which J suppose. od
willing, you propose to do again.
I have but very little to say 01 the past, nor
have I many promises to make for the future :
but as I look upon the whole past hiBtory of
this State and its government, and the devel
opment and growth of our educational and
charitable institutions, I cannot but feel what
a grand, good, blessed, glorious oldState Michi
gan is, and bow well throwing out the past
two years it has neon governed, with not a
stain upon the eaeutcbeon of the State.
We have reduced its indebtedness ; we have
reduced its taxation ; we have given a hearty
support to almost every chari table institution
of which the human imagination could con
ceive : we havo cared for the deaf, the dumb,
and the blind, the insane, the unfortunate, the
criminal, the pauper, aud last of all, WN have
reached out tho great hand of the State to the
little childieu, whom we thought, irom their
circumstances and surroundings, were going
in the road that leads all the way down lull.
Wo have done all this with decreasing taxa
tion and decreasing debt. Within the last two
years we have paid $784,000 of the debt of
the Stato of Michigan.
There are some latter-day prophets who tell j
