POSSIBILITIES OF A FUSION.
The Prohibitionists and Popu-
lists May Join Forces.
Representatives OF tho Two PARTIES Met In
hoanoke Yesterday and Held a Secret
Consultation-It Was Agreed to Call a
State Convention of Both Parties at
Lynohburg on August 23.

The arrival of several prominent
Prohibitionists and Populists in the city
yesterday morning, and the fact that
with one accord they registered at the
Hotel Ponce de Leon, was suggestive of
q previous understanding to that effect,
IL nothing else. These were c. n.
Plerson, chairman OF the State Populist
committee and editor CT the Virginia
Sun; j. Haskins Hobson, a Populist
leader and speaker; w. w. Gibbs, chair
man Of the Prohibition State commit.
tee; Col. j. Rush Miller, late candidate
OF that party for governor; James w.
BodleY, OF Staunton, the candidate Of
his party for State senator last fall;
B. Miller, OF Portsmouth,, and Rev.
Sam W. Small, of Atlanta.
These gentlemen were in close con-
sultation the entire day after their ar
rival here. The conference was, as was
to be expected, held behind closed doors
and nothing could be learned by the
most persistent and diligent inquiry
after information of what was being
said and done behind these. Occasion
ally Rev. Small or Mr.. Gibbs would
como down stairs and into the lobby to
see friend, but they never came to see
reporter with the view of giving him
any important information.
Mr., Miller commiserated TIMES re-.
porter to the extent OF telling him that
the Prohibitionists intended to keep on
fighting the Democratic party in Vir-
GINA until it was licked, and that his
State committee favored fight in every
Congressional district.
The object OF the conference was q
fusion of the Populist and Prohibition
forces in Virginia this fall, and the
establishments of daily paper to do
battle for the candidates who may be
nominated, as the result Of such fusion,
in opposition to the Democratic can
didates for Congress.
1t is more than likely that the fusion
candidate for this (the Sixth) district
will be Prohibitionist.
The paper will probably be published
in Roanoke.
An Onicial Statement.
Mr.. w. w. Gibbs, chairman of the
Prohibition State committee, handed the
following to TIMES repor Ter last night:
by appointment the chairmen of the
State executive committees Of the Pop
ulist and Prohibition parties, with mem
bers Of the two committees, met at the

conventions of both parties at Lynch
burg on August 90. and il this basis of
union is adopted by those conventions
the parties will unite for vigorous and
aggressive campaign in every Congress

reply to tho charge made by General

Governor Tillman has, during his
previous campaigns, resorted to hand
primaries to test the strength of the
crowds; to-day he made a new use of
that custom. He had the crowd to in
dorse, in that way, the attack he had
made upon General Butler, the language
he had used about there being a corrunt

and almost everything on which he
wanted support.

asked Governor Tillman question and
the governor said the fellow must be
drunk. This excited the farmer and he
SAID he would lick Governor Tillman if
he would come outside. To the invita-
ton the governor replied that 1t was pe.
culiar on the part of the man to ask him
to stop his speech and go out and fight
with him, and that he must be crazy or
drunk. Then the farmer made for tho
stand. He caught hold of the railing,
and, in attempting to climb over, broke
the strip of board. BY this time mum
Der OF men caught the excited man
around the arms and carried him out of
the crowd amidst the most enthusiastic
yelling.
Governor Tillman charged General
Butler with being followed around bv
the paid detectives of the Richmond

had no fear CT being killed, for whoever
entertained such a thought realized
that il he fred shot it was only a
question OF few seconds before he
would be target for others. He made

but did not number over 500, of which
200 were cOlored.
