FOURTH DISTRICT FUSIoNIsTs.

FOURTH DISTRICT FUSlONlSTS.
EMPORIA, Kan, May "A Before tine
Democratic convention for the Fourth
congressional district met this afternoon
the leaders had determined to take bold
and decisive step for fusion with the Peo-
pies party Consequently. it WAS agreed
10 make no nomination, but TO draft reso-
buttons settiug forth the wisdom of such Il
move. The resolutions were being pre-.
pared when the convention met at o'clock
This afternoon. Levi Dumbauld of Lyon
county, chairman of the Peoples party
central committee was the man it was
Thought by the leaders whom the Demo-
Gratis could support for congress iii the
Fourth district. Ii. s. Martin, a lawyer
of Marion county, could have bad the
nomination il he had worked for it, but
lie seemed to think the proper course WAS
90 join forces with the Peoples party.
The resolutions state that the Democrats
OF the Fourth district believe thai the
peoples cause imperatively demands the
united and best endeavors of all who favor
Industrial, commercial and financial eman-
eipation; that the great enemy of the peo-
pie is the Republican party; and that the
supreme necessity Of the hour is the over.
throw of that party in state and
nation. It is therefore resolved that it is
the sense Of the convention that the eXi.
gencies of the hour demand the united ac-
lion of the Democratic and Peoples par
Ties in this congressional district and
throughout the state. The platform fur
ther declares that the two parties should
mite on one candidate for congress, and
iecommends Levi Dumbauld of Lyon
county as an appropriate candidate.
At the afternoon session II. S. Martin
of Marion county WAS made chairman and
4. Il Holiday of Shaw ee secretary. A
good deal of opposition va raised TO the
resolutions, the Peoples l--tty men who
were present urging that the mention of
Dumbauld's name would defeat him for
the Peoples party nomination, and some
OF the more ardent Democrats holding that
the resolutions did not have enough
Democracy in them.
After long discussion the resolutions
were amended SO as TO omit Dumbauld's
lame, and so as to include plank declaI-
Ing allegiance to the Democratic party
The resolutions, as amended, were
fdopted by an overwhelming vote, and an
adjournment taken until June Ii, the date
oI the Peoples party convention.

no pains TO make the affair great
success, worthy of the state and of the
board of lady managers of the Worlds
fair, through whose enterprise it was
inaugurated. The medals are beauti-
full in design and expensive in fin
ish, and are we'll worth con
tending for by the most I'm
ished orators and elocutionists.
That the people of the state appreciate
that fact is shown by the eagerness
with which they have selected their
best material to enter the contest.
And now, Austin should show her ap-
probation of this contest by filling the
representative hall to Overlooking
with Austin people. The money
gathered from this contest will flow
back into the advantage of Austin,
since it is to pay for the statues OF
Houston and Austin, which will even
tually adorn the capitol. All other
social engagements and all political
excitement can we'll be put aside until
this contest is over, for politics and
society will linger in Austin for some
time while the contest closes with this
week. The STATESMAN therefore
urges the Austin people to patronize
this magnificent entertainment as it
so richly deserves.

A New ORLEANS dispatch in the
Globe Democrat gives a few compare
tive statistics which should teach the
G.-D's northern readers good deal
about the negro question. The assess
ment returns in that statement show
that in those parishes where the
negroes outnumber the whites, they
have far less personal property and
are much poorer than in parishes that
are thinly populated with negroes.
In other words, the negroes are al
most as dependent upon the whites as
they were before the war; and where
ever they are congregated in great
numbers in any one community, they
degenerate and become more trifllng
and worthless

TARRANT county has an immigra-
ton organization, with headquarters
at Fort Worth. The secretary is to
be furnished with lists and full de-
scription of lands which the members
wish to sell, and these will be printed
in circular setting forth the advan-
tages which the country offers to set
tiers The plan is an excellent one.
Travis county has been little slow
about adopting it, but the way to adj
vertise country is to advertise it

ges of printers, ink.

LEGISLATIVE MATERIAL.

The Houston Post notes the fact
that in the mid,t of the excitement
over the choice of governor very lit
tie attention is being paid to the Sc
lection of Legislators; and yet from bad
legislation or from the lack of proper
legislation come most of the evils that
afflict the state. The Post says, in eff
feet, that with first class and repre-
sentative men in the law-making de-
partment it would not matter much
who was governor. There is great
deal of good sense in the POSTS sug-
gestions. The country certainly does
pay very little attention to the selec-
ton of Legislators. In very many
counties IL is difficult to find q man
who will declare himself d candidate
for the office. When some man finally
announces himself, he may be wholly
untitled tor the position, and he may
be even incapable of understanding q
law after it is made, but he is elected,
and consequently becomes a law
maker. This indifference on the part
of the people sometimes sends
men to the legislature who should
be selling groceries in cross
roads store or looking after the for
tunes of truck patch. In addition
to this widespread indifference, the
selection of the best material in every
instance is made impossible by the
meager salaries offered legislators
Patriotism is fine thing and would
doubtless induce many an able man
to repres ent his section In the legisla.
ture, but the truth is that very few
able men can afford to throw aside
their business and spend the busiest
season of the year at Austin on a sal
airy that, with economy, will barely
pay expenses during their stay here.
People who expect that under such
circumstances patriotism will fill our
legislative halls with the brainiest
men of the country are doomed to dis
appointment. And so it comes about
that there are two sides to this ques-
ton of selecting legislators, and 1t
would be well for the people every
where to give the subject some con-
sideratiOn,

Rives brothers. place on Second street
is the rendezvous of the committee.
The place is crowded with fathers and
husbands, Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike who take the stand that
negro reign is at an end in Oklahoma.
The city is alive with armed men
who are ready to fight to the death if
needs be. e. p. McCabe, the negro
ex-auditor of Kansas, is held respon-
sible tor the crimes that are being
committed and violence is feared.
He cannot be found tonight. Whistles
are blowing and shouts and yells are
resembling from every quarter of the
city. This city of 10000 people is pan
demonium and no one sleeps tonight.
The yell of determined mob is mo-
mentarily expected, and no power OH
earth seems able to save the brutal
ravisher's life.
Electric lights have been extin-
guished and it seems now that the
worst may happen. Capt. Cooper,
one of Payne's original Oklahoma
boomers, reached here at II o'clock
with seventeen men. They are deter
mined that nothing short of hanging
will satisfy them. At 2 o'clock this
morning a large crowd of men paraded
the streets. There is no telling what
will happen. The sheriff and police
are resolute. The excitement is in
tense. Negroes are congregated on
every corner and it seems like trouble
will occur at the Jail. Another mob
has assembled there. The sheriff and
chief of police are vigilant.
