Illinois PopuIIsts WOn't Allow Fusion
Even bys1mpiicatton.

CHICAGO, Aug. 15.-The Populist state
convention here on Saturday will 90 to
great lengths to prevent anything savor-
ing of fusion with either of the old par
ties.
1t cannot be denied that Populist poll
tics in Illinois is causing the old party
leaders much concern The labor trou-
bles have caused the Populist movement
to become full grown child in Chicago
already, and shrewd politicians are max
ing strong efforts to get within the fold
On the opening of the convention reso-
Iutions will be offered, explicitly and
positively binding that body not to NOM
mate for any office the candidates al
ready named by any other party.
The resolutions will go further and pro-
vide with equal stringency that no can
didate named by the convention shall re-
ceive the Endorsement of the old parties
for any office. and that if any candidate
shall be so indorsed his name shall be
stricken from the POpulist ticket by the
campaign committee, which shall be en-
powered to so act, and fill the vacancy
thus created with some other Populist,
on the quality Of whose Populism no
such taInt has been cast.
DR.. Jameson. chairman of the Repub-
lcan state executive committee declared
today that i'll at least five senatorial dis
tricts in Cook county, and in some of the
state at large, the fight will be between
the Republicans and Populists, with the
Democrats hopeless third.
Chairman McGiIlen of the Democratic
committee, says:
pullman and his connection with the
Republican party, has decided
the vote in many cases of the Republican
laboring man. They are POpuIists this
year, and the Populist ticket will poll a
large vote. the majority Of it coming
from the Republicans. although the
Democratic party will suffer, too. Every
Republican workingman and Republi-
cans generally have had reason TO lose
faith in their party. They know that
they can expect nothing from party of
trusts"

resignation of Mr.. Reinhart The name
is a mystery and the knowing ones can
not even hint at the initials. Those who
know great deal about il, however, say
it isn't G. *. Holiday. The condition Of

inelig bic even were he otherwise avalia-

to the double position of receiver and

When a STATE JOURNAL reporter sug-
gested to Mr.. Wilder that his name had
been mentioned as possible successor
to Mr. Reinhart as one of the receivers,
he most emphatically disclaimed any in
clination to such aspirations. He said:

He said the Hannibal bridge was not

selected. The committee on ways and
