That there IL thu isve,sess sort OF = fight
going On between the .sA5eTs Of TIE Po2u-

IN the state. ID plainly evident fren this

were formerly close friends. and were for

management Of the Sun. the PoSgitsI

although TIE associates Of both men In
the party xiE not taik much about the
trouble. there Is the very oest reason for
believing that the United States senator
ship S the cause Of the breach. The fusion
ticket Is divides among the three factions
as so3lows. Popsillsss. VINO take the Han .

for instance.
II has been currently reported about the
fusion headquarters that Baker had for

and that he afterward came 20 the con-
ciusion that be himself Nigh; make good
senatorial timber. on a pinch However
this may be. Ii Is pretty certain that Ba-
ker's position did not suit winsor, who
thereafter left the ticket. No sooner was
Wlnsor's resignation accepted by the
county committee than II Was whispered
about that Baker had experienced anoth-
ed change OF heart and vas now Squire
man. This runor Is strengthened By ire
fact discovered within the pas: few days.
that evidences Of Senator Squire's Inter
est in the campaign in Pierce county have
begun 20 appear.
Bakers position on the senssorship Is
the cause Of much anxious inquiry among
his associates In the management OF the
Affairs OF the party. and particularly Of
the mass OF Peoples party men. who. In
