OPPOSING FUSION.
Result of the Recent Peoples Party Con-
svention In Michigan.

I
svention In Michigan.
Special Correspondence of The Evening Star
GRAND RAPIDS. Mich, August 5, 1892.
The results Of the peoples party state nomi-
mating convention in Jackson this week will
have an important influence upon Michigan
politics, but not in the form nor in the manner
expected The convention was ruled by an ele-
ment which rampantly opposed anything that
savored in any degree of fusion or combination
with the democrats or any other party, and which
howled about treason whenever any fusion sug-
gestion, no matter how mild, was made. 1t
was mainly through this element that the ticket
nominated is made up of men whom the DEM
ocrats, even with the prospects Of cer'rin vic
tory, will have nothing to do with Ii .e peo-
pies convention had nominated Geo f. Rich
ardson, Geo. l.. Yaple, Gen. Vim. p lines or
even A A. Ellis the strong and influential ele-
ment In the democratic party opposed to the
denomination os Gov. Winans would have been
attempted with good prospects of success to
swing the democratic state convention into in
dorslng the people nominee and made him the
head OF the democratic ticket As the case
stands now Gov. Winans has practically clear
Held for denomination and will be nominated
on the first ballot If not by acclamation.
THE Peoples PARTY NOMINEE
John W. Ewing, the peoples nominee for
governor, is a farmer of 800 acres and is not
known outside of his own bailiwick He is
about fifty years old and has held a few minor
offices in Eaton county. such supervisor ard
town clerk. He has been a republican and
greenbacker, has had prohibition leanngs and
Is a recent convert to the peoples doctrines
When supervisor he was accused By the Char
lotte Republican of misappropriating funds and
brought suit for libel. The trial of the case
lasted several days and resulted in verdict of
no cause of action and he carried the case no
further, paving the costs taxed against him.
The members of the peoples party who
favored the nomination of n candidate who
would be agreeable TO the democracy and be
liable to receive the democratic Endorsement are
greatly dissatisfied with the results of the con-
vention and talk openly Of corruption and
bribery among the delegates. The convention
will have the effect Of disrupting the party and
laying II on the shelf after this campaign if not
before election.
The Jackson convention renominated A. A.
Ellis for attorney general. Mr. Ellis was the
candidate of the people, party and of the dem
ocrats for attorney general two years ago and
was elected. Considering Mr.. Ellis attitude
toward the democrats when among the disciples
at Jackson this week it is hardly probable that
he will have pace on the democratic ticket
this year.
E. II. Belden, the people, nominee for United
States Senator, was at the head of the industrial
ticket two years ago and polled 1900 votes.
he was appointed member of the world fair
commission by Gov. Winans and still holds that
Office.

A Belief That He is Failing Rapidly-Hii
Case Hopeless.

Detective Raft is much weaker today, and it
is the belief OF his brother officers at the first

stated that his family will send the afflicted

Meet for Redistrictng.
Both branches of the Michigan legislature
were called to order in special session at noon
yesterday to reapportion the state into sena-
torial and representative districts, the last ap-
portionment act having been declared by the
supreme court to be unconstitutional. The
house after organizing took a recess until 23O

for the adoption of the rules of the regu-
lar session, except that portion which re-
quires one days notice for the introduce
ton of bills, the senate also took recess.
Immediately after adjournment representa-
tives from both parties met to see if some terms
Of peaceable procedure could not be agreed
upon. Before the legislature reconvened the
democrats held caucus and decided to accept
pacific proposition which came from the re-
publicans. viz: The appointment of three demo-
Gratis and three republicans to confer upon a
reapportionment bill.
No prediction can b made as to the outcome
The session is likely to be very short or to run
10 maximum. The republicans hoped 10 carry
1t over to Wednesday, when an immediate effect
act would be necessary; but in view Of The ton
at the frst session all states are broken and both
parties must reform their lines.

there have been for years two factions. At the

Eaves, the present chairman. The personal
feud between these men has to a great degree

In the Madras museum is to be seen a
coin the finding of which was, think,
one of the most interesting epigrams of
events with which am acquainted. 1t
is none other than the Aureus of Clau-
dius which was struck to commemorate
the conquest of Britain, and it was
found in the Madura district of the
British Indian empire.
myself possess a coin of the Arian
Emperor Valens which was found in the
Vaigai river in the same district. Such
unlocked for links between ideas and
associations separated by half the world
are very curious, but in the town of
Madura itself there is a building which
is connected with one of the most ro-
mantle periods of British history.
