The Army Worm.

Mortified, Mimi, July 23.-Reports
of the depredations of the army worm
throughout this section have become
appalling. The pests are no longer
working in isolated spots, but from all
directions come stories of fields eaten
off and this years crop gone The dis
trict west of this city was thought to
be exempt from the worm, since in
those fields the chinch bug has been
getting in his deadly work. But to-
day word was received here that the
farmers i'll Eureka were cutting their
grain prematurely to save it from the
army worm. The whole country be.
tween here and Kenyon is infested. A
trip taken in that direction showed
that every field of oats had taken from
it what would amount to a good seed
ing, and many will not be worth cut
ting.

j. j. MOTT.

j. j. MOTT,
yer party enters animated by no Sec
tional spirit controlled by no feeling
of envy against the more prosperous,
but inspired by the desire to maintain
a broad American policy which shall
protect the interests of American pro-
duction whether in the mining camps
of the mountains, the wheat fields OF
the West, the cotton fields of the South
or the factories of New England. But
let us remember always in this contest
that union is strength, and that the
motto of our opponents is now, as it
has always been, Divide and con-
puer.'
After Mr. Newlands' speech the Dec
laration of Independence was very
we'll recited by Miss Lille B. Pierce of
st. Louis, who was dressed as the
Goddess of Liberty.
The usual committees were then ap-
pointed.
The following committee was an
nOunced to confer with the POpulistS,
with view to solidifying the forces.

The convention then took a recess
until 4:3O in the afternoon.
The afternoon session opened at 4:5O
O'clock The committee on credentials
made report which was adopted.
The committee on permanent organi-
cation, through Gen. G. G. Bradshaw
of Montana, chairman, reported the
following permanent officers of the
convention:
Permanent Chairman-W William P.
ST. John of New York.
Vice Permanent Charles
A. Towne of Minnesota.
Secretary-R. e. Diffenderfer of
Pennsylvania, with power to select his
ow nassociates, one of whom will be
George 2. Keeney.
Reading Clerk-W. Jefferson Pollard
of st. Louis.
Chairman William p ST. John was
introduced and made a short speech.
In the course of it he said: ''The foun-
tain head of our prosperity has run
dry Our farmers all over the country
have endured the depression in prices
until they get about So or SO per acre
for an expenditure of $40 per acre, and
the like. Their credit at their country
store is exhausted. The country store
ceases to order from the city merchant
the city merchant reduces his demand
from the manufactures, Manufacture
ers are curtailed. The consequence is
that employees an dali elements of la
Dor are being discharged and wages
are lowered to those who continue in
employment The sufferings Of the
farmers, who constitute nearly one
half of our population, are thus forced
upon the city merchant, the manufac-
turer and all forms of labor These
combined elements constitute the over
whelming majority Of voters. Their in
telligent conclusion will be felt when
expressed at the polls.
s'The banker also is without prosper
ity unless prosperity is general through
out the United States. He must learn
to distinguish between cheap money
and honey commanding low rate Of

to. Thereupon the convention adj

TUG121T -c1e-E,- WILL BE COM
PLEEEo TODAY.

I'll It'd TODAY.
The popul1st, democratic and sill
yer republican conventions that are
being held in EIIensburg this week
will result in placing a fusion state
ticket in the field. The silver re-
publicans and democrats have al
ready nominated their allotted part
of the ticket, and the populiSts will
complete the ticket today.
rhe only obstacle to fusion for a
number of days seemed to be in the
refusal of the popu lists to reigquish
their claim of a congressman to the
democrats, but at last an agree
ment was brought about in which
the popuEst convention decided to
allow the democrats to nominate
one congressman in addition to the
other offices allotted to them, with
the result that the democrats are
represented on the ticket by W. n.
Cation, Lincoln county, and l. n
Maxwell, Whatcom county, presi-
Dental electors; James Hamilton
Lewis, Seattle, congress; G"in
Hicks, Olympia, state printer; John
B. Reavis, Olympia, supreme judge.
The free silver republicans are
represented on the ticket by w. C.
Jones, Spokane, congress; Patrick
Henry Winston, Spokane, Attorney
general; F. J. Brown, Seattle, super
intendent of public instruction.
The leaves to the populists the
offices of governor, lieutenant gov
ernor, secretary of state, state aud
itor' state treasurer, and land com
missioners, which will probably be
filled today.
1t now looks like H. n. Belt,
Spokane's mayor, will be nominated
for governor, but who the other
nominees will be we can not now
predict.
LArER-2 p. M. News was just
received that John r. Rodgers, of
Tacoma, received the nomination
for governor on the fusion ticket, on
the third ballot.
This John r. Rodgers is an ex-
representative of Pierce county,
and the man who while pretending
to work against the railroads rode
on their passes two years ago. A
clause of the popuIist transporta-
ton plank unher discussion We'd
nesday at Ellensburg condemned
the action of state, county and city
officials riding on passes. This
clause, through the efforts of a Mrs.
Peters, delegate from Clallam coul-
ty, and other delegates, was finally
after long discussion stricken out.
1t is said that the striking out of
this clause was calculated to eXtri
cate John r. Rodgers, and other
populist members of the last legis.
lature from a very uncomfortable
position who rode on passes two
years ago.

The populists met in convention
1 At Colfax last Saturday and named
a county ticket, and elected dele7
gates to the state convention at
\ Ellensburg.
\fThe democrats and silver repub7
leans thought this a great oppor-
tunity to work the populists on the
grounds of working for co mon
principle, and thus gain perhaps
some offices upon the proposed
fusion ticket. However, the pop
ulists were wary and knew their
own strength too well to be beguiled
by the two side shows, and when
the democrats and silver republic
cans asked recognition at the hands
Of the pops, they were sat down up
on in way that was indeed eau
ton, and must have been very
humiiating to those two loud
mouthed bodies that have been
talking 50 long for free silver, Bry
an and fusion. So after Lake ID.
