GOLD DEMOCRAT REJECTED.
Nominations Made by the Michigan
Republican COnyenfion

Republican Convention.
The struggle of the day in the Michigan
republican convention at Detroit yesterday
came on the nomination of a regent of the
university. There were several very warm
nominating and seconding speeches. The
advocates of the reelection of Regent Bar
bour gold democraD argued that since
their candidate last year sacrificed political
preferment to follow the banner of McKin-
ley, and since he had rendered distin-
guished service to the university, he should
be the conventions choice. They asserted
that the republican party, at this time
especially, could afford to be generous to
gentleman of undoubted talent who was
willing to run upon the ST. Louis platform,
The other speakers declared that they
were sent there as republicans to nominate
republicans. They opposed fusion in any
form and declared that if patriotism had IN
the cases of some democrats, risen above
partisanship 1t was commendable but that
SUCH virtue should be its own reward The
republican party was not obligated to them
1t was asserted that if the new congress
did its duty such men would be opposed to
Its action and six months hence might be
hghting republicanism.
The candidates named were as follows:
Lew l.. Barbour, Detroit; E. d. Nelson,
Ironwood Joseph r. Mclaughlin. Detroit:
James M Wilkinson, Marquette, and Chas.
d. Lawton of Van Buren, county
The first vote by counties resulted: Bar
bour, 472; Nelson, 154; Mclaughlin, 247:
wilkinson, 1S2; Lawton, 1s9; necessary to
choice, 54S.
The second ballot gave Barbour, 36a:
Nelson 90; Mclaughlin. 3U3; Wilkinson, 40;
Lawtun, 3O1.
The third ballot narrowed the contest to
Lawton and Mclaughlin, but the former
MADE such gains that all the delegates
went over 10 him, and Lawton was declared
the unanimous nominee. Before adjourn
heht resolutions were enthusiastically
adopted, thanking President-e,ect McKin.
icy Tor General Algers appointment to the
cabinet.
