have to exercise this power, however,
will be in nominating q full ticket Of
populist electors. The democratic state
committee, the only body in that party
with any power in the matter, is not dis
posed to meet them or concede to them
any share of the electoral ticket.
"There is no disposition in this COM
mittee to fuse" said Chairman Holt, of
the democratic state committee. liam

sort myself, and SO is a majority of the
committee. Furthermore, our electors
are already nominated and there is no
sway of getting them off the ticket I'M
less they want to resign, and shall not
ask any of them to do that"
The democrats declare that they have
nothing in particular to gain by fusion,
inasmuch as they believe four-fifths OF
the populists will vote their ticket any
how. At the populist headquarters this
feeling among the democrats is we'll un.

themselves that in their state conven

Cleveland, o., Aug. 5.-Shooting by
of another day in the vicinity Of the
Brown hosting works. AT 1880 o'clock
Tuesday morning two men stopped In
front of Mrs. Lind's boarding house,
few squares from the Brown hosting
works, where man named Gettner,
who is employed at the works, boards.
The two men yelled for the "scab9 to
come out and then they began to thSow
stones at the house. Presently one of
the men fired ut the door, the bullet
passing through the panel and entering
the house. The noise attracted the at
tention of the militia, and detachment
of Company l was ordered to the scene
on the double quick.
AS the soldiers turned neighboring
corner the two men started to run. The
lieutenant in charge shouted: Halt"
The pursued men paid no attention to
the order and the soldiers began firing
at them. They returned the fire, and for
few moments there was lively fusil-
lude. One of the men suddenly made q
cry and was heard to groan. A moment
later, however, both disappeared in the
darkness. The affair caused the utmost
excitement in the neighborhood for a
time. The bullets struck several houses.
Two went clear through the side Of a
grocery store. The soldiers and others
believe the two men had planned to
blow up Mrs. Lind's house.
