FUSION IN THE WEST.

That our readers may have better
understanding of the extensive Demo
cratic. Populist fusion in the West, a
resume is here given. A possible Re-
publican loss OF forty seven votes is in
dictated in tho States OF Kansas,
Nebraska, Minnesota, Colorado, North
and South Dakota Idaho, Nevada and
Oregon. Montana is reasonably sure to
the Democracy.
The combined Democratic and Popu-
list vote for governor at the last cleo
ton in Kansas gave 63,30i majority
over the Republicans. The fusion this
year is complete and working satistac.
torily. The Democratic chairman esti-
mates fusion electoral majority of
10000.
In Nebraska at the last election the
Republican majority was 72,64O.
There has been no formal fusion but tn g
State Democratic committee has advised
Democrats TO support the Weaver cleo
tors and n great majority will follow
thor advice. As the total Republican
vote in 1890 was less than the anti Re
publican majority the chances of fusion
success are considered excellent.
Minnesota cast 56,247 moro votes for
the Democratic and Alliance candidates
for governor than for the Republican at
tho last election. The Democrats have
Endorsed four Third party candidates
for electors, and claim to be able to
oil ~
they cast So coo TO the Republicans IS,
600 at the last election, there may be
something in this, but the chances are
against clecting more than the four
fusion candidates.
Colorado has not been the home of
great Third party strength. Its present
tendency toward Weaver is due solely
TO the opposition to free silver on the
part of both the leading political
parties. There are certain complica-
tions over the withdrawal of the Demo
cratic ticket, and the refusal OF certain
Third party electors to consent to the
use of their names on the Democratic
ticket. If the fusion can be made
effectual Colorado will go for Weaver
by 5000. But tho Republicans claim
the State by a safe majority
In North Dakota the fusion is COM
plete. The Germans are massed solidly
against the Republicans and poll OF
the State is said to show over s 900
fusion majority. South Dakota has not
como solidly together yet, but the stu
alton has been made clear and 1000
Democratic votes for the Populist cleo
tors would elect them. Two years ago
the Republicans we're 5000 short OF
having majority.
The Democratic electors have been
unofiicially withdrawn in Idaho, but
the situation is less favorable for fusion
success than elsewhere. 1t is hardly
probable that any but Republicans will
be elected.
In Nevada it is all one way. While
there are three tickets in the fold the
silver men are determined to carry the
State for Weaver and probably will.
There are but 5000 voters in Nevada
and they are easily hold together.
Oregon has but one fusion elector and
1t is difficult to judge Of his chances
On the whole it looks as though Weaver
was sure of some twenty odd votes.

PROFESSOR BLAkE'S LECTURE.

The attendance at the lecture on ''Elec-
tricity last night was indeed gratifying to
the friends of the university extension
movement in this city
Over two hundred were present at the
beginning OF the lecture which was p.
N. sharp.
Gray headed men and boys from the
lower grades of bur schools sat side by
side. and each seemed pleased. Occasion
ally some practical electrician in the
audience gave audible assent 70 some of
the professors statements which seemed u
little startling to the uninitiated, while a
flash of wit in the lecture came now and
then. like spark from the electric cur
rent.
The university electric lantern was used
to project the delicate measurements made
OF delicate currents. and tie action of a
small battery. The lantern itself has
history. being the one used by the famous
astronomer, Proctor, in illustrating his
lectures on astronomy.
Much of last nights lecture was techni-
cal and gave clear conception OF all the
principal terms used by electricians.
The rapid extension OF the use OF cleo
tricity demands a more general knowledge
OF these terms.
\ review of the lecture IS impossible in
our limited space No one should neglect
the opportunity now given to learn some
thing of this science from one OF its most
eloquent aud gifted apostles. The next
lecture Will be given Saturday OF next
week. so as not 20 conflict with the Column
bian celebration. Due notice OF is cnar-
acter will be given.
Rev. Mr.. Shippin publicly thanked MIR.
O'Neil of the Citizens Electric Light con-
pany. and the City Railway company for
the wire placed AT the disposal of the
lecturer

Mr.: l. W. Hall o. Harrisburg. Pa, is in
the city. having come out with MS wife TO
attend some matters Of business, and IS
stopping AT the Carey. Mr.. Hall is coun-
sci for the Pennsylvania railroad and a
prominent lawyer, known throughout his
state as a man OF great ability. He is the
owner Of considerable property ia the city,
and expressed his intention 70 an officer OF
one OF our leading financial institutions
that he would bold every foot OF it for the
ri.e in values which is sgre TO come.
When the freight rate situation was laid
before him. ne said to the same gentleman
and gave il his opinion as rsiirosd law
yer, that such discrimination could and
should be stopped. He was much pleased
with the city and will return home with
far better opinion OF our condition and our
prospects than before he visited here.

PERKINS COMING.
The Successor OF the Honored Plumb To Speak
Here Tuesday Night.

United States Senator Bishop ". Per-
kins the successor OF the honored Flumb
will speak here Tuesday night and it is
unnecessary to say that ali immense
crowd ought, and doubtless will, turn out
to greet him. Senator Perkins is one Of
the best speakers in The state and none
exceeds him in ability to discuss the issues
OF the present campaign for he has been
in Europe recently and made special
study OF the conditions over there and
especially in relation to tariff legislation.
He is a very pleasing speaker and no ones
feelings will be hurt who attends his meet
ing Previous to the meeting grand
torch light procession will take place BY
the various ward clubs as we'll as by the
fambeau clubs.

Another enthusiastic public meeting was
held in the school nall, corner of Fourth
avenue and Second streets, last nignt to
arrange the details OF the grand Column
bian exercises and parade to be held on
the 21st inst. The attendance was good
and an increased interest was manifested
in the event. Councilman Leveridge pre-
sided while James Connolly acted as Sec
| rotary.
All the committees reported and their
| reports were very encouraging, SO much so
that there is no question but what tia
demonstration will be the finest held in
the state by great odds.
Reduced railroad rates will be given
for miles around, so that the good peo-
pie of Southern Kansas can all attend
what will no doubt be the finest street
pageant that has ever taken place in Kan
sas. The various civic, military and trades
societies are taking great interest In the
affair and it now looks like the procession
might be three miles long. All the poiiti-
cal parties have kindly lent their torches
so that there will be 600 of them in line
not including those of the Flamb beau clubs
which will be out in full uniform. The
political organizations will not only lend
their torches but will furnish the men, too,
not as Republicans or Democrats or Peo-
pies partyites, but as citizens and Ameri-
cans.
Peerless lodge A O. Z. W. in letter to
the committee last night, under the seal
of the lodge says that the members will
turn out III strong, and all mounted.
This in itself will make pretty

societies have signified their intention of
turning ont, and the Sons of Herman are
taking an especial interest in the event.
Fourteen horses will draw the cannons Of
the Wichita battery, which has consented
also to fire saiutes at certain hours OF the
day. Colonel Lewis has been invited to
deliver the Grafton at the opera house, and
everybody who knows Colonel Lewis
knows that he will give the people treat.
The country will be extensively adver-
tised for hundreds of miles around, and
great crowds are expected from all quar-

The Typographical union, the Cigar

there is hardly any doubt but what all of
