POLITICAL.
Michigan Republican Convention.

LANSING, Mich, Aug. 26.-At the Republican
State Convention here to-day, the following
nominations were made: for Governor, j. j.
Bagley; Lieut-Governor, FL. II. Holt; Secretary
of State, E. G. D. Holden; State Treasurer, w.
Il. M. McCreery. Resolutions were adopted,
which after challenging the scrutiny of the acts
OF the Republican party, and claiming that it
ever stood in the advOnce line of human pro-
gress, has forfeited no promises, and is steadily
reducing the public debt; state that no reason
yet exists for resigning the reigns of power
into the hands of party whose last public
acts brought civil war and disgrace upon the
country.
The resolutions say "We endorse as wise and
timely, the financial measures finally agreed
upon by Congress between conflicting interests
and opposing theories. We recognize in the
greenbacks and national bank notes circula-
ting medium far superior to any paper currency
heretofore existing in the United States, saving
as it does the people directly and Indirectly
many millions of dollars annually over the old
state bank system in exchange and discounts.
We demand that in all financial legislation,
Congress shall keep steadily in view the re-
sumption of specie payments to the rnd, that at
the earliest day practicable the promises to pay
OF the government may be equivalent to coin
alike in amount throughout the commercial
world We believe that the banking system
under well guarded financial system should
be free, the volume and locality of the issues
being regulated by the business law of demand.
We denouece reputation in any form or de-
gree.
The following resolution was offered as a
minority report, but was adopted:
Resolved, That we believe return to gold
basis should speedily be made, approve and
adopt the principles of finauce embodied in the
veto message Of President Grant to what is
known as the Senate currency bill, and affirm
that part of the thirteen resolution adopted at
the National Republican Convention held at
Philadelphia in 1872, relating to the resumption
of specie payments.

The market maintains the improved tone noticed
last week, and desirable lots of fine eeces are still
sought after by manufacturers. Holders in several

had favorable effect all round and we see no pros

many dealers Of a quiet market, the sales prove
fairly active BUSINESS The attention of manufacture
