for dozen years has a republican
state convention In Michigan been at
tended with 80 much excitement, en-
thusiasm and noise as the one now in
session. The town Is full of candidates
and boomers. Not a quarter of them
can get into the hall which, at the fall
OF the chairman's gavel contained a
sweltering mass Of 5000 people. The
chief interest attaches to the contest
for the gubernatorial nomination. II.
s. Pingree. mayor Of Detroit, origina-
. tor OF the Pingree potatoe scheme for
utilizing vacant city lots for the poor,

mined onslaught on the governorship.
Opposing him are Col. A. T. Bliss of
Saginaw. ex-Congressman ]. O'Donnell
Of Jackson. A. o. Wheeler Of Manistee
and d. D. Aitken. Arrayed against
Pingree also is the influence Of the
state republican machine. The situa-
tion at the opening of the convention
is involved In greatest doubt. Pingree
has undoubtedly the lead, but will lack
q majority on the first ballot. Close
after him Is Bliss. confident Of winning.

trail committee. called the convention
to order at II o'clock. Rev. John L.
Jackson made the opening prayer and

cheers and Kisses. A plea for harmony
prevailed and the contestants were
temporarily admitted. After the ap-
pointment of the usual committees the
convention adjourned until p. m.
At 2:30 O'Clock the committee on Gre

St. Clair fight and asked for further
time. A motion 10 adjourn until even

result OF an honest impulse, and showed
that the programme at the Chicago con-
vention was not a cut and dried affair.
The platform adopted at Chicago. de-
clared the senator, was democratic In ev-

ton Is commended and the platform
