Michigan Democratic Nominations

GRAND RAPIDS. Mich. Aug. THAR
mony. with q very large sized n" was the
rule to-day in the largest Democratic con-
yention which Michigan ever saw. The
only ripple which at all disturbed the con-
ventiOn's serene course was the candidacy
of Adolphus A. Ellis for Attorney general
Mr.. Ellis was indorsed two weeks ago for
the same Office by the Peoples party, and
this fact aroused some opposition from the
true-blue democracy. The great majority
of the delegates, however, declare Mr..
Ellls's Democracy quite good enough for
them. The following is the ticket nOmi-
mated: For Governor, Allan Ii. Morse, of
lonia; Lieutenant governor, James L. Ed
wards, o. Houghton; Treasurer, Fred X.
Marvin, of Wayne, Secretary of State.
Charles +. Marskey, of Saginaw; Auditor,
James III. Vannier. of Marquette; Attorney
general, Adolphus A. Ellis, of Ionia:
Superintendent of Public instruction, Fer
rls 5. Fitch, OF Pontiac; Commissioners of
State Land Office, George i. Shaffer. of
Cass member State Board of Equalization,
James A. Burr. of Genesee: electors, George
IL. Durand, of Genesee. and Peter White, of
Marquette. The platform cOngratulates
the country on the nomination of such
wise statesmen as Grover Cleveland and
Adlai T.. Stevenson. denounces the calling
out of militia or employment of Plnkertons
during labor troubles, condemns the Nc
kinney law, denounces the Republican
party for degrading" silver. and demands
that the metal be made c0-equal with gold
as money.

MILWAUKEE. Aug. 17.-Secretary Rusk
entered the hall just as the Republican
State convention was called TO order at
noon to-day. When he reached the stage
and his tall form could be seen by every
body the enthusiasm was uproarious.
The Secretary smiled his acknowledge
ment and was conducted to q
seat in the center of the stage.
The convention at once went to work.
Eugene 5. Elliott was made temporary
chairman. Then the various committees
were appointed ana recess taken. On re-
assembling the following ticket was nom-
mated: For Governor, ex Senator Spooner;
Lieutenant governor. John T.. Koch, of
Milwaukee; Secretary of State, r. w.
jackson, of Shawano; Treasurer, Alley
Peterson. of Crawford; Superintendent of
Public Instruction, w. p. Chandler. OF
Dane.
The platform adopted approves the Mn
neapolis platform, dcnounces the PROPOSE
tion of the Democratic national platform
to repeal the tax levied on the circulation
of State banks, denounces as without
foundation the statement reiterated by the
Democratic press that Republican success
in Wisconsin involvesth surrender or CON-
promise of whatever legal rights the courts
may hold to exist In favor of the State
upon the bonds of ex-State trsasurers, and
promises to enforce the legal rights of the
people. 1t approves the admin
istration of President Harrison, re-
affirms and indorses the decla-
ration of the Republican convention held
in this city In May last upon the educa-
tional question as fully defining the posi-
ton of the Republican party of the State
upon the subject which was that the ''edu-
catonal issue" of 1890 ia permanently set
tied and not to be revived by the Repub-
lican party: it denounces the Democratic
apportlonment; denounces 1.-The parsimony
of the Democratic party of the State for Its
refusal to make adequate appropriation of
money for a fit representation by the State
at the worlds fair" and calls attention
with shame to the action of the Demo-
cratic majority in Congress in refusing to
grant liberal appropriation for the fair"
