4iCSS constituting the IuSlOH TICKET
which is to run against the Republican
in the coming election, met at the Hen
nepin League rooms in the New York
Life building yesterday afternoon. The
object of the meeting was to arrange
uIon some joint action for the coming
campaign and the appointment of the
several committees to have charge Of
the campaign. A number of Populists
and Democrats who are not on the
ticket We're about in the ante-rooms
and there was considerable scheming
for the places on the committees to
which there is salary appendage. The
principal point of difference between the
Populists and the Democrats was over
the matter of the disposal of the cam
paign funds. The Populists seemed to
think that, as the Democrats were with
only a few exceptions the only men
who could put up the conventional cam
paign subscriptions, the bulk of the
money would be spent upon the Demo-
cratic part Of the fusion ticket. This
presented an opportunity for a lively
interchange of opinions and peace was
only restored when it was decided by
resolution that the business of the
campaign committee should be to ad-
vance the cause of the entire ticket,
particularly the cause of silver and
the candidate for president.
The next question was the matter Of
the executive committee, which will
have full charge OF the campaign. The
matter was debated at great length and
the desision reached was that there
should be member each from the
city, county and congressional commit
tees from each party, three Democrats
and three Populists, and that In order
to recognize the silver Republican ac-
cession and make the committee con-
slSt or an odd number, Harry D. Stock
er Jr. was added. 1t is supposed that
he will be the chairman of the executive
committee and he will have the bal
ance of power between the Democrats
and Populists. Stocker Is in nearly
every respect Populist, so that the
committee will be practically of Popu-
list majority. The members Of the con-
gressional committee will be selected in
conformity with the wishes of S. M.
Owen.
1t was determined to have two Sec
retaries for executive committee and
the Democrats agreed upon recommend
Ing to the executive committee the ap-
pcintment Of W. E. Gooding. The
PCpulist secretary will be named later
by the members of his party on the
county committee. The Democratic
