Lansing, Mlch., Jan. 9.- An open j int conference of the Democratie, Populist and Union silver state central committees was held here yesterday. It was quite largely attended by prominent lieaders in the parties represented from ill parts of the lower península, and it tvas evident that their entlusiasm for :free silver coinage had not abated on account of the results of the November lïlection. It was öecided that the state oonvention to nomínate a justice of the nupreme court to succeed Chief Justice ILong and two regents of the university be held at Grand Rapids not later than Feb. 20.
