Both Parties Fusing.
From the Phila. Times.


Fusion is gradually working its way
into the local political camps all around
in Pennsylvania. The Republicans have
fused with the Nationals by unqualifiedly
accepting the National nominees for Con
gress in the Third (Sheddem and Fourth
9Kelley) districts, and in the Democratic
county of Lycoming they took the Ma
tional legislative ticket bodily, after put
bonds, and then passed hard-money reso-
lutions to guard against accidents. The
Democrats are also getting along with
telerable success at the fusion game, and
have united with the Nationals in num-
ber of local contests in such Republican
counties as Susquehanna, bradford, War
rem, Allegheny and others. Inc latest
and one of the most significant fusion
movements is that of the Democrats and
Nationals in the FoIty-fourth Senatorial
district

The Fourth was not ushcrel in by the

one-even the little childrn-were on the
alert bestirring themselves making pre-
paratiOns for a day of amusement.
The programme for the day commenced
with picnic when. by half-past ten that
being the hour TO meet there had gathered
together quite large concomse. The en-
erciscs of the DAY commenced with vocal
aud instrumental music appropriate for
the occasion, followed by reading the

with more music when all those who
could repaired to the swings to vie with
each other in their skill at swinging, re-

flight.
The picnic being over. those who
wished to continue their sports repaired
to Mr.. Bartlett's store where other sports,
such as jumping, foot-racing and wrest-
ling were INDUCED in. When those who
had been walking around and longing Tor
the shades OF night to put a stop to all
other sports began to laise their heads
and gaze wistfuIly at the hall aS the lamps
were being lit up, their hopes revived and
their feet began to beat a tattoo OF the
sidewalk.
