Fusion by the Democrats and Populists
has, thus far, been effected in IS States, in
some instances with the added alliance OF
the National Silver Party or faction OF
the Republican party In several of the
States the fusion arrangements extended
to the State tickets and to the nominees
for Congress. Thus far, fusion has failed
in Mississippi, Virginia, West Virginia,
Tennessee, Kentucky and Nevada, but
negotiations are under way, and it is ex-
pected that combination will be made
in all these States, as we'll as in Indiana,

famous work could be made harmless,
but ths trouble is that often the poisoned

Double Republicans.

There is to be no union between the re-
publican factions. They met yesterday
and cussed and discussed each other and
finally concluded tnat each would 60 it
alone. Each put out separate electoral
and State tickets. Samps Pope is the
flag bearer of the "Lily Whites," in the
Gubernatorial race and Col. r. NJ. Wal
lace, OF Sumter, is his opponent. All of
the ''Lily White" ticket are white men
and all of the Webster ticket is OF the
same complexion except one, the Rev. E.
B. Burroughs, candidate for Superinten-
dent of Education.
Of course the whole thing amounts to
nothing 80 far as the State is concerned
1t is probable that both conventions had
leaders who wanted to be Prominent
should any national political pap be put
on tap and that's about all. But when it
comes to that the Websterites have the
inside track, they are recognized as reg
u;arshby the national party.
The Webster faction nominated the fol-
lowing State ticket:
r. a. Wallace, Sumter, Governor.
J. P. Latimer, Greenville, Lieutenant
Governor.
A. Lathrop, Orapgeburg, Secretary OF
State.
Geo. J. Cunningham, Charleston, treas.
urer.
+. NJ. Butler, Anderson, Comptroller
General
E. F. Cochran, Anderson, Attorney
General.
e. Brooks Sligh, Richland, Adjutant
General.
E. B. Burrougs. Chesterfield, Superin-
tendent Education.
The following is the Webster, electoral
ticket:
At large, Robt. Moorman, of Newber-
rv; w. D. Crum, of Charleston.
FIRST, f. w. Scheper, Beaufort.
Second, James Powell, Aiken.
Third, j. r. Tai bert, Abbeville.
Fourth, E. w. creven, Richland.
Fifth, Joseph Clark, Lancaster.
Sixth, DR.. John Lunnev, Darlington.
Seventh, J. M. Tindal, Sumter.
An attempt was made by the Melton
convention to mix or amalgsmate or unite
forces or to form union offensive,
and defensive, but the Webster men
didn't care to surrender their position
as the recognized Republicans OF the
State
The Melton convention, after beng
kicked by the Weosterites, nominated
the following State ticket:
Governor-Sampson Pope.
Lieutenant Governor-W. w Russell.
Secretary of State-B Il. King.
Comptroller General-F. P Clayton.
Attorney General-L. D. Melton.
Treasurer--D. j Knotts.
Adjutant General-A. T. Jennings.

: a story comes from Florence, Ala,
thst~a week ago chilc of a negro named
Louis Handy, who lives near Florence,
died, it Was believed, from the effect of
some throat trouble, as its throat and
tongue were found to be badly swoolen.
It is now developed that the child did die
of throat trouble cf tha most violent and
fatal kind. The child, it seems, was
playing with some other children and it
was part of the game to hang the little
unfortunate by the neck to a limb of a
tree. It was all done in fun, but the little
fellow was. allowed to hang too long,
and when they let him down he was
senseless. The kindergarten lynchers
did not confess to what they had done for
several days. Ashley are all infants there
will be no pro- Jcution in the matter.
= at Alachua, Fla, the other morning
S r. Clark and Joseph shaw started out
to hunt wild turkeys. On entering the
hammock they separated, going in opposite
directions. After going some distance
Clark yelped. initiating turkey, think
ing if there were any turkeys near by
they would answer him. Mr.. Shaw heard
the noise, and thinking he had found a
drove CT turkeys began to yelp also
Each Of the men, laboring under the i'm
preston that the noise they heard was
made by turkeys, kept crawling on his
knees in the direction OF the yelping.
Finally Clark saw small object which
he thought was the turkey, but instead
was his com paniOn's head. Clark fired.
Tho whole load Of so No. 7 turkey shot
entered Mr. Shaw's head and neck. Clark
ran 10 get his game, and when he realized
what he had done be was overcome with
grief Clark assisted the wounded man
on his horse and took him to house near
by and got man to carry him to his
home.

her home in New York tenement for

After her furniture bad been piled up on
the sidewalk well dressed man made
his appearance, and, upon being told the
story of distress, offered to pay four
months rent for the poor woman. The
landlord joyfully made out the receipts
and willing hands helped the woman to
return her effects to her rooms. The
landlord returned the generous stranger
$52 change out of q SlO0 bill, and the latter
made the poor woman gift of$2. Sub
sequently 1t was found that the 800 bill
