FUSION NOT PROBABLE.

A Prediction That There VIII BE Three
Tieseis in tansns This Year, as Usual.
KANSAS Cry, Mo-, Jan. n "A special
to the Times from Topeka, KAN, says:
There has been u GOOD deal OF news.
paper talk lately about fusion between
democrats and populists this year, with
George W. Click as the candidate for
governor. While such a combination
is possible IL is not probable. Many OF
the democratic leaders are opposed to
any kind of n coalition with the pop
ulists, claiming it would result lisas-
trously to their organization, as did
the arrangement Of lsos. The populist
leaders it is said also are opposed
to fusion. Those who are out
spoken for fusion are democrats
and populists who prefer any
thing to repubicanism. This fac
ton is as yet greatly in the minority,
but is growing However, it is the
opinion of conservative democrats and
populists that there will not be any
fusion on state officers this year, and
that there will be three straight tick
cts in the field, as in 1894. At any
rate, fusion cannot be accomplished
without fight.

1t Is represented TO the committee
that the condition OF affairs in that

instead OF holding the lands equally, q
few Indians own most OF the land, and
90 out Of 100 OF them have but poor
existence The Indians have invited
white men into the territory and
leased their lands to them, and 1t is
represented that 100000 whites are
there outside the jurisdiction and pro.
lection OF the United States laws. The
suggestion to be considered by the
committee Is to divide the land among
all the residents Of the territory white
and Indians alike; to open II up to set.
Element; to abolish the Indian legisla.
ture and courts, and to establish the
usual territorial government.
