Secretary of State, Jas. A. Rose.
We feel proud of our esteemed Sec
retary of State, the Hon. Jas. A. Rose,
who hails from Egypt, and lias friends
legion. Mr. Rose came under Gov.
Tanner and has become to some con
siderable extent, endeared to the peo
ple of Springfield and the state.
As Secretary of State he has dis
charged the duties appertaining to the
office with marked ability and un
daunted courage. He may be a candi
date for re-nomination before the Re
publican state convention which con
venes next year, less than 12 months
hence, and if he is, we have no douBt
of his receiving the same uncontested.
He ha smore colored men on what is
know'll as the Secretary’s pay roll than
any other man at the State Capitol.
We hear no cries among our people de
rogatory concerning him either as a
roan-or a public servant of the people.
Mr. Rose is quite a geniul man and a
loyal citizen, loving his state atid priz
ing her institutions highly. He takes
prominent part each year in the state
historical work and other matters of
vast importance both locally and gen
erally.
