PIKE'S REPRESENTATIVE.
Last Sunday's Constitution con
tained the f( llowing about Hon. J.
F. Redding, Pike’s representative in
the next general assembly:
“In selecting Hon. John F. Red
ding as their standard bearer for
repnsentative, the democrats of Pike
county have choseu one of the stron
gest men in that county, and one
whose worth is recognized all over
the state. Colonel Redding was
born in Monroe county but he has
lived in Pike ever since he was two
years old. He is one of the ablest
and most successful lawyers in the
Flint circuit. He has always takeu
an active interest in politics. In
1882 and 188.1 he represented Pike
in the legislature, and was an active
member. He was ou the judiciary
committee and also oil the railroad
committee and in 1882 made the
first speech on the floor of the house
in fi.voi of taxing railroads for coun
ty purposes. The bill passed the
house, but vas defeated in the senate.
It was the same in principle as that
now known as the Glenn bill. Col.
Redding was regarded as one of the
ablest men in the bouse. One of his
speeches I have beard spoken of by
old members, and that was on the
state road question, on a resolution.
I believe, to disxiss the suit of the
attorney general, inquiring tns les
aees to give the state additional secu
rity. He opposed the resolution and
deleuded the attorney general, and I
have beard the scene at the conclu
sion of his speech described as being
the most notable of that lively ses
sion. He is suable 1 iwj’er, and will
unquestionably be one of the leading
members in the new house.”
