But the Hungry Candidates Are as Leaves
Of the Forest.
This Makes a Democratic Populist
Fusion Less Easy Than
Was Expected.

themselves
A week or so ago there was consider
able talk about a fusion between the
| Democrats and PopulistS, but as the
| time draws near for distributing the
loaves and fishes the fusion sentiment
is said to be rapidly diminishing. The
fact is, it was found there are not
enough loaves and fishes to go half
around, when each party came to count
the noses of those in its own ranks who
aspire to serving the people-and Incl
dentally to raking down the salaries.
The last few days have, it is said, wit
messed the turning of things topsy-
turvy, and now there is more talk of
straight-out party nominations than of
fusion. The Populists to seem to think
their handful of voters entities them to
more of the offices than the Democrats
are willing to concede, and as the days
go by men who a week ago were hob
nobbing in a friendly way are now
'leary' of one another.
Not that there is much difference be-
/ tween the principles of the two parties,
but there are the offices. These cannot
be surrendered, even to friends, SO long
as someone hungers for a chance to get
his nose into the public trough.
However, both Democrats and Popu-
lists are going ahead with their prepar-
ations for separate conventions. The
| County Committee of the latter party
met yesterday with locked doors and Sc
1ected delegates to the convention that
is to meet on Wednesday next. Fear
full lest some cunning old foxes might
get among these lambs and spoil things,
each member of the committee was
pledged on his honor not to divulge the
names of any of the delegates until the
day before the convention.
| Next Tuesday these seals will be re-
moved from the lips of the committee
men, and then the wide, wide world will
know who are the wise men selected to
launch the Populist bark on the po-
litical billows.
| The Democratic committee also held a
meeting, at which H NJ. LaRue pre-
sided and r. NJ. Clarken acted as Sec
! retary.
| 1t was decided to hold the convention
on Wednesday next at 10 a. M, and
Messrs. Clarken and P. J. Shields were
appointed committee to secure, if pos
sible, the Assembly Chamber at the
Capitol in which to hold the conven-
| ton.
Mr.. Shields, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Conference with the Populists,
reported that a fusion between the
Democrats and Populists had been
agreed upon. and was recommended to
the convention. What the convention
will do, however, is quite another mat
ter.
1t was decided that each of the two
members from the various Supervisor
Districts should select fifteen delegates
to the convention, aud the three COM
mitteemen-a -at-large each fifteen dele
gates, and also that the list should in
clude the members of the Central Com
mittee, making in all 20S delegates.
