THE MICHIGAN DELEGATION.


 A circular was distributed tonight from the Michigan headquarters bearing the portraits of Blaine and Alger and reading as follows: "Under the Oaks at Jackson" :" Fremont and Dayton-1e56. Blaine and Alger, Minneapolis-1S92.'
 ''The republican party and the people demand the nomination of Blaine-because he commands the confidence and admira- tion of our entire people in greater degree than does any other living American to- day.
 Because the cardinal principles of the republican party, reciprocity" which he originated, and protection" the unyield- ing champion of which he has been for more than quarter of a century, would be best administered in his hands.
 Because he believes in internal separa- tion and divorcement of church and schools.
 Because he can carry all the silver statee without pledge or doubt.
 Because he can bring back to the repub- lican fold the hundred thousand of farm ers who have been drifting from their meorings.
 Because a large number of thoughtful, conservative democrats, who understand and appreciate MT. Blsine's great ideas ss to reciprocity and protection, and who most earnestly commend and endorse his views as to the rights and duties of Amer ican citizenship, will cast their votes for him this year.
 Because great majority of the repub- lican party believe that one term in the presidential chair is honor enough for any l man, and that this policy should be ad- hered to except in cases of great emergency or national danger, which do not exist at this time. 4r
 Because MT. Blaine most keenly realizes the necessity for the enactment of legis- lation and judicious enforcement of laws that will secure to the enfranchised color ! ed men of the south their constitutional l rights to cast one ballot at every election, and have that ballot honestly counted" On the reverse side of this circular is l printed in full the famous speech of Col onel Robert G. Ingersoll in nominating | Blaine sixteen years ago.
 "This circular was submitted to General Alger last night before we left Detroit, ' said Colonel Gavotte, land it met his ap- proval."
 BLAINE WILL WRITE NO MORE LETTERS. | The press dispatch from Washington stating that Secretary Blaine had informed representative of the Associated Press that he would write no more letters and make no further announcements prior to | the convention were received with rejoicings by the Blaine men this evening and they declare now that noth- 1 ing can prevent his nomination. All par ties seem to agree on Governor Mckinley for permanent chairman. For temporary chairman John M. Langston of Virginia l still the favorite.
 FEATURES OF THE PLATFORM.
 Leading republicans have been consulted on the subject, and the principal features of the platform which will be presented to the convention can now be given. The platform will endorse President Harrison'f administration as honest, able and con scientious and as having promoted the peace of the country and the prosperity and safety of it's business interests. The firm, dignifed and patriotic conduct oi foreign relations by President Harrison and Secretary Blaine will be specially i commended. The devotion of thu republican party to the principles of pro lection will be reaffirmed and the McKin ley tariff law will be endorsed. Reef The Springer fr,e wool bill will bs de nounced as an attempt to destro, an industry of the American farme and general tariff policy of the democrati house will be assailed. The silver planl is likely to be more liberal than that o other conventions, based on the expects tion of the administration that tn approaching monetary conference wi, result in such agreements as will make ] ! possible to utilize our entire silver produc
 as money. The platform will favor a
 honest ballot and fair count. It wi
 also approve the laws passed to encoul
 age the American shipping industry. . continuance of liberal appropriations fo 1 the navy will be advocated, as will als l the completion of our coast defences. I'll
