FUSION IN COLORADO.
Tho Democrats to Indorse the Peoples
Party Presidential Electors.

NEW YORK, July 23-Many Democrats OF
prominence assembled at the Grand Central de-
pot today to see Hon. A. E. Stevenson and party
Of on their return trip to Illinois. Among
those accompanying Stevenson was w. H. Un-
derwood, of Colorado, whose mission In the
East was to confer with ex-President Cleve-
land, Mr.. Stevenson and other prominent
Democrats on the advisability of the Colorado
Democrats indorsing the Peoples party candi-
dates for presidential electors of that state. To
an Associated Press reporter Underwood said:
"It is question on which the Democrats of
Colorado differ. The failure of the Republic
to adopt satisfactory financial plank has cre-
ated revolt among them, and the Peoples
party has received an impetus which places it
in position to control the balance of power, If
not to sweep the state. If the Democrats in
dorse the Peoples party candidates for electors
the defeat of the Republicans in Colorado is as
sured.
Cleveland, Stevenson, Whitney, Harrity and
others favored indorsing, but Underwood said
they hoped to impose upon the Peoples party a
condition that II the Democrats Endorsed their
electors it was to be with the understanding
that if the election of president Were thrown
into the House the Colorado electors must cast
the vice presidential vote for Stevenson. Under
wood thinks that with this concession the
Colorado Democrats will indorse the PEOPLES
party candidates.
Stevenson and party reached here on time and
the vice presidential candidate received hearty
welcome from hundreds of people. He was
called out of the car and made brief speech,
saying he was carrying good tidings back to
Illinois about the Democracy of New York, and
thanking them all for the cordial reception
After the speech the crowd gave three cheers
for Stevenson and three more for Cleveland, and
as many as could shake hands with him before
the train left did so.
ROCHESTER, N Y, July 23.-At Utica there
was another crowd of enthusiastic Democrats,
headed by Secretary Beardsley, of the Demo
cratic state committee. Mr.. Stevenson spoke
He then introduced Don NJ Dickinson, of
Michigan. who spoke briefly, telling the people
they were going to carry the news to the West
that New York will give the largest majority
for Cleveland and Stevenson that has ever been
given to Democratic candidates w. G. Ewing,
of Chicago, also spoke briefly.

THE FIGHT AGAINST LEWIS.
Hazard and His Friends Working Hard
In Eastern Washington.

SPOKANE. July 2S.-tspeciaL l-Ex-Justice of

agent OF c. w. Griggs, of Tacoma, and
stephen Judson, his lieutenant, together with
George Hazard, of Tacoma; J. J. Browne.
of this place, and l. j. Glasscock.
of sprague, met at the Hotel Spokane today in
conference to arrange a ticket to defeat James
Hamilton Lewis, of Seattle, for the nomination
for governor. 1t seems that Lewis has re-
fused to make certain pledges concerning the
senatorship Lewis insisted on standing on his
own following, and not on combinations Some
candidate must be born strong enough to
place in opposition to the would-be Napo-
leon, so Blalock, of Walla Walia, has
been designated for the governorship, and Steve
Judson, of Tacoma, for lieutenant-governor.
This would defeat Carroll, and. they say, force
Lewis to take congress. The meeting was not a
success here Glasscock is Lewis man, and
likewise so are Browne and Drumheller Spo-
kane and Lincoln counties would not got for the
proposed combine.
Van Fossen has now gone to Cheney and Jud-
son to CoIfax. 1t seems that they will try
and have Warner enter the lists again
against Lewis. Anybody and ANYTHING
to defact the King county man is said to be the
effort of the Hazard Gilman combination. The
fight bids fair TO be very interesting Lewis

WASHINGTON CITY, July 23.-Senators and
representatives seen this afternoon ana this
evening expressed great regret at the shooting of

Drouth and Crop Failure in Mexico,

EAGLE PASS, Tex, July 23.-Northern Mexico
is again confronted with total crop failure.
The summer rains with which the late crops
might be harvested have not come. In spots
there has been good rainfall, but in Durango,
Cohahnila. Chihuahua and Nuevo Leon have
had insufficient rain for four years, and con-
secutive crop failures. which is unprece-
dented, even in drouthy Mexico. and Il large
number of inhabitants are confronted with
grave conditions. insofar as in the best parts of
Mexico the idle iaborers who depend upon agri-
culture for existence are left without employ
ment Laborers are working on the roads in
Mexico at 50 cents a day. which is equal to
80 cents in American money. Corn, their prin-
cipal article of diet, costs 42 cents per peck
Many have large families, and they are con-
sidered fortunate to secure employment at any
price The same conditions prevail in some
counties OF Texas on this side of the Rio Grande
