explosive eloQuence and personalities The
Rich forces. confident of entire control of
the situation, are disposed to be concilia-
tory realizing if they rub it in too hard that
Detroits picturesque mayor may head an
independent ticket and seriously complicate
Things. This spirit of cancellation may take
the form OF allowing Pingree to name
candidate for one of the Offices and if he
does, Geo. w. Bates of Detroit the only
Detroit aspirant for a place on the ticket
may De presented for attorney general.
Ihis, however will be paying a high price
Tor the appearance of harmony, as it viii
antagonize the wishes of X emit county which
Will present Geo. A. Maynard of this city
for the place.
The candidates for the several offices ar,
as follows, named in the order of the pros
pect've strength in the convention:

The Rich Slate.
OF the candidates named Gardner VIII
kinson and French are the present incum-
be:ts of the respective Offices by virtue of
appoin tment by Gov. Rich to succeed the
three officials removed last winter for the
part they played in connection with the
salary raising scandal. There is considera-
bic sentiment among the delegates against
nominating them as it would, in a meas
ure. be accepting Gov. Rich's dictation
To the makeup of the ticket. With the pos
sible exception Of Wilkinson. il is probable
the Rich slate will go through. Turner and
Pattengill were nominated and elected two
years ago. and will claim return trip as
recognition of services rendered. Unless
the PirgTee conciliation scheme goes
through Maynard will be renominated for
attorney general OH the first ballot, il not
by reclamation.
Senator James Mcmillan will be reelected
chairman of the state central committee.
No nomination will be made for United
States Senator.
Negotiations With Pinerec.
The Pingree boom was the first to arrive,
coming in early yesterday morning. Mr..
Pingree had several secret conferences with
his friends yesterday. and three plans of
to the Wayne delegation to select from up
on their arrival this afternoon. One is to
demand the withdrawal of Gov Rich and
the nominal ion of dark horse; another
contemplates bolt. and Pingree at the
head of an independent ticket: the third
proposes that Pr gree kiss the hand that
smites, get all the present honor possible
for his friends, and assurances for the
future for himself. Pingree is i'm the hands
of his friends, and will pursue the course
they outline tor him, even to bolt Gov.
Rich arrived this afternoon. He has
large majority in the convention, and the
talk of his coming off is nonsense. He may
be willing that other candidates be sacri-
feed for the sake of harmonizing the Pin
gree element, but there will be no trading
on governorship.
Col A. T. Bliss has opened his head
quarters but is not conducting an agSres-
sive campaign; his sole aim is to inherit
Rich's boots two years hence. and is not
unnecessarily antagonzlng Rich now. aim
ing only to secure a complimentary vote.
