Michigan Democrats Nominate.

The Democratic State Convention to nominate a candidate for .Justice of the Supreme Court to succeed Chief Justice Morse, an elector-at-large for the western district of Michigan and a member of the State Board of Education, convened in Lansing. Chairman Carnpau, of the State Central Committee, called the convention to order and made a brief speech, predicting the election of the Democratic State and Legislative tickets and seven Democratic electors from the State. Upon assuming the chairmanship Governor Winans also spoke feelingly of the debt of gratitude he owed the party of his choice, and expressed a fear that he would never be able to repay the interest. Judge William Newton, of Flint, was nominated by C. R. Whitman, of Ann Arbor, and supported by Mark W. Stevens, of Flint, and others. J. H. Kinnane, of Kalamazoo, named William G. Howard of that city for the office. A call of the counties resulted in Newton's nomination on the first ballot. The nomination was then made unanimous. John Power, of Eecanaba, was nominated by acclamation for elector-at-large for the "Western District, and David E. Hoskins, of Jackson, was in like manner nominated for member of the State Board of Education.
