HISTORY OF JACKSON COUNTY.
zens, without reference to former political associations, who think that the time has arrived for a union at the North to protect liberty from being overthrown and down-trodden, to assemble in mass convention on Thursday, the 6th of July next, at 1 o'clock, P. M., at Jackson, there to take such measures as shall be thought best to concentrate the popular sentiment of this State against the aggression of the slave power.
This convention was an unwieldy body, an incongrous assem- blage ; and from the nature of things there were discordant views and conflicting interests. But all were animated by patriotic mo- tives, and there was a general realization of the absolute necessity of union, and a manifest disposition to subordinate personal inter- ests and private judgments on minor points, to the common good. In the convention there were a considerable number of shrewd and sagacious politicians, in the best sense of the word, who saw what was needed, understood the material they had to deal with, and by masterly management preserved harmony, and brought abont desired results.
After the appointment of the committee on resolutions the gen- tlemen composing it withdrew about 10 or 15 rods away, to a chump of trees on the edge of the oak opening, a point which is now marked by the intersection of Franklin and Second streets. There, some standing and some sitting on the grass, they deliber- ated upon the first Republican platform ever constructed. The leading spirit in the committee was unquestionably Jacob M. Howard. He had prepared and carefully written out the reso- lutions before leaving Detroit, and the platform was agreed to substantially as he had drawn it up, a few minor changes being sug- gested by different members of the committee, and adopted. The main difference of opinion was over the additional planks touching upon affairs of State policy, which were proposed by Austin Blair, and which were not agreed to by the committee, but submitted by him as a minority report, and finally adopted by the convention, as shown in the record. There was no great discussion over the adoption of the name, which seems to have been favorably re- ceived by the entire committee.
The committee to nominate the State ticket was compelled to exercise no little discretion in reconciling differences of opinion and personal judgment, considerable resistance being made to dropping some of the names on the Free-Soil ticket and the sub- stitution of Whigs in their stead.
RESULTS OF A PROHIBITION CONVENTION.
Toward the close of 1875 a convention of Jackson county prohi- bitionists was held. The following named gentlemen were chosen to represent the interests of the organization in their respective townships: Blackman, Wm. Gunn: Columbia, Dr. L. M. Jones; Concord, Nathan Shotwell; Grass Lake, Dr. Willis; Hanover, Horace Gifford; Henrietta, Richard Holling; Leoni, Mrs. H. A.

Fifield; Fourth Ward, Rev. J. B. Drew; Fifth Ward, Rev. J. H. Keeler; Sixth Ward, Mrs. E. A. Goss; Seventh Ward, Rev. E. M. Lewis; Eightli Ward, Deacon James.
After the appointment of this county committee the dual resolu- tion subscribed was unanimously adopted: "That there is needed in all parts of the county, earnest, systematic and persevering efforts. That meetings should be held in every township, and if practicable, in every school district; that temperance literature should be widely distributed, and that no means should be left untried to enlighten public opinion upon the important issue to be decided in November, 1876. That the chairman of each township and ward committee in this convention appointed be expected to complete his own committee by the addition of four co-laborers and proceed to action without delay.
The renewal of saloon prayer-meetings was again attempted; but the ladies were politely repulsed at Reis Bros., and ceased the pursuit of their useful labors.
HONEST-MONEY LEAGUE.
In June, 1878, a large number of the most influential citizens of Jackson city and county signed an appeal to those who believed in a national currency, as distinguished from an irredeemable paper money, to assemble at Jackson July 1, with a view of organizing an honest-money league. The meeting proved a com- plete success, and added, by its influence and appropriate resolu- tions, another barrier to the great number which must be forced, prior to the adoption, by the United States, of an irredeemable currency, or any section of such an utopian scheme.
THE JACKSONITES.
There has been an organization in this county for a number of years known as the "Andrew Jackson Association," which num- bered 185 in 1879, and whose principles are: That the old Jeffersonian principles, as exemplified by Andrew Jackson, of individual free- dom and liberty properly regulated by laws enacted by the people, as against the arbitrary idea of a strong, absolute government, independent of and above the people, are no less important at the present time than when they were first established; that the pres- ent generation has been largely educated in a direction calculated ro overthrow these time-honored principles, and establish on their tuins the ancient idea that the government is everything-the

people nothing; and that it is a duty incumbent on us to recall the attention of the present and rising generation, so far as lies in our power, to those elementary principles of freedom and free gov- ernment, under the operation of which, for over 60 years, our nation prospered and flourished beyond all other people.
At a meeting held Jan. 8, 1879, Benjamin was elected president, Sanford Hunt vice president, and W. N. Buck secretary.
