4 CONVENTION IN MICH.
Republicans Gather To-day to Nom
mate a Justice of the State
Supreme Court.

Detroit, March 6.-Every indication
pointed to a protracted fight over the
for justice of the state su-
prenne court when the state republican
convention was called to order shortly
before noon to-day"
The early morning hours did not bring
any combination among the seven can
didates who are opposing the renomina-
tion of Justice F. A. Hooker and the ad-
herents of each were determined to sup
port their choice Indefinitely. w. Wede-
meyer of Ann Arbor was selected as tenn
porary chairman. He said:
Widemeyer speIIbinds.
Il believe I have right to assume that
the people of this state still have faith in
the principles and purposes and men of
the republican party. And I know that
the people Of the entireu nion have an
abiding faith, in the courage, the firmness,
the robust Americanism of our present and
our next chief executive, Theodore Roose-
welt. Since he took the presidential chair
there has been a steady continuation of the
prosperity that followed the re-enactment
Of republican policies during the admins
tration of the martyred Mckinley.
1.-The republican party in the great cam
paign of '96 decided once for all that not
only must all labor be free labor, not only
must it be protected against competition
w
but 1t must be paid in money that shall
everywhere be as godd as gold.
There is a disposition on the part o1
some to belittle the legislation passed by
the republican congress on the subject o1
trusts. But I believe the value of this
legislation will be clearly shown by the
history Of the next few years"
Two United States senators and one for
mer senator had seats on the platform
during the greater part Of the morning
sessionof the convention. Senator Rus
sell A. Alger Of Michigan was called upon
and spoke very briefly, however, merely
thanking the delegates for their warm
welcome and Immediately introducing
Senator Gallinger of New Hampshire
who is here to make an address at the
annual banquet of the Michigan club to-
night.
Senator Gallinger spoke highly of Gen.
eral Alger's services to his country anc
declared himself proud to have been Sen
ator Alger's friend through adversely as
we'll as through his hour of triumph.
Former Senator Thurston Of Nebraska
| who is here to speak at to-nights ban
quet, addressed the convention afte
Senator Gallinger, closing his remark
with an eloquent eulogy Of the late Pres
ident Mckinley that created a tumult o
applause. After the appointment of com
mittees the convention adjourned unit
1870 o'clock. ....t
