MICHIGAN REPUBLICANS.
Proceedings of the State Conven.
ton Held at Detroit.

DETROIT (Mich.), Sept 81 = The
temporary organization of the Repub-
lican State Convention was put into
motion at noon to-day under the au-
spices of the old State Central Com
nlittee. The committee had heretofore
been considered to be anti-Pingree, but
any antipathy to Governor Pingree did
not appear on the surface. although in
disposition to mention the Governor on
State tax issues was somewhat mani
fest
Governor Pingrees friends claim that
ne won a victory in the Congressional
District Conventions which preceded
the State Convention, the election of
members of the new State Central
committee resulting in the selection of
thirteen Pingree to eleven anti-Pingree
men. The latter, however. claim that
the true standing of the committee is
about the reverse of these figures.
Dexter Murphy of Detroit, Chairman
of the State Committee called the con-
vention to order. He urged perpetual
ton by this convention of every Re-
publican principle by adopting a thor
oughly Republican platform. He said:
With such platform and a ticket
headed by cur war Governor with our
own General Alger having a part under
President Mckinley in the National
Administration, the conditions are
especially favorable for Republican vic
tory"
The Chairman deplored criticism by
Republican newspapers of the War De-
partment, which he asserted. will be
used by demagogues for their side in
the campaign.
Grant Fellows of Hudson. President
of the State League of Republican
Clubs, was called to preside as tenn
porary Chairman He said: THE
Republican party in 1896 declared that
it favored the single gold standard
and the people approved this. Upon
this question there must be no back
ward steps. The Republican party be-
lieves in dollar worth 100 cents
measured in gold, and it is not afraid
to proclaim this fact"
Concerning the Secretary of War
Mr. Fellows said: I'VE of Michigan
have confidence in the honesty, ability
and integrity of Russell A. Alger. We
are glad that he courts investigation
and we know that he will come out
spotless."
The resolutions reported unanimously
by the State Committee commend Gov
erEor Pingree for his efforts in favor
of equal taxation of railway, telephone
and express company properties. The
resolutions indorse the principles of the
Pringree-Atkinson taxation bill.

ticket We're nominated at to-night's sas-
