Michigan Republican Convention.

The Michigan republican state nominating convention met at Grand Rapids Wednesday with the galleries and platform packed. The nomination for governor was postponed until Thursday,but the platform was adopted. It is identical with the one adopted by the republican national convention at St Louis. Gov. Rich’s administration was indorsed. Mayor Pingree of Detroit won the nomination for governor on the fourth ballot Thursday. He had been bitterly opposed, and the fight was closer than has ever before been seen in a Michigan convention.
