POPULIsTs OF KANSAS.
Agreement on Fusion with the
Democracy.

ABILENE, KAN, August 5.-The
Peoples Party State Convention was
called to order at II o'clock to-day in a
low shed, packed to the fiimsy walls, with
a sweltering mass of humanity. With
scarcely any ventilation, the air In the
rude room became unbearable and un-
breatheable before Chairman Breidenthal,
OF the State Committee. struck his
first blow with the gavel.
In accordance with an agreement en-
tered into between the candidates for
Governor last night, Judge A. w. Du-
nison was elected temporary chairman.
The usual committees were appointed,
and a recess was taken until 2 O'Clock.
Among the first things that will be con-
sidered by the convention will be, the
proposition TO be submitted by the Con-
ference Committee appointed by the Dem
ocratic convention at Hutchinson yester-
day. This Will precipitate strong nght
between the fusionists and the middle
of-the-road men. the outcome of which
cannot be foretold.
When the convention reassembled for
the afternoon session the temporary or
ganization was made permanent. The
convention appointed a conference COM
nittee of fourteen members, to meet the
committee appointed by the Democratic
convention at Hutchinson yesterday, to
lecide upon a plan of fusion for the two
parties. 1t was agreed that as soon as
the conference committee reached an
agreement and submitted a report, an
electoral ticket should at once be nomi-
mated in accordance with IL.
The Committee on Resolutions an
nouncing that II was not ready TO re-
port. the convention proceeded to nomi-
nate a candidate for Governor on as
sembling for the evening session. The
first ballot resulted as follows: Ex-Con-
gresham W. A. Harris, POS 1-2; ex-Gov-
ernor l.. d. Lewelling. $50; State-Senator
l.. p. King, 122 IL; State-Senator j.
ID. I.eedy. SO; ]. w. George Campbell, OF

Of Greenwood county, p.
| The second ballot resulted: Harris 2O3;
| I,ewelling, 142; King, lO3; Leedy, 80; Camp
| bell, Y; Munger, Is.
A dispatch received here from Hutchin-
son states that the Democratic delegates
| there tonight adopted resolution. de-
claring their intention to stand solidly by
| BRYAN and Sewall. regardless Of the ac-
| ton of the Populists.

PARKERSBURG, w. VA. August g.
The Populist convention met here at 10
A. NJ, selected its committees. and ad-
iourned until 3 o'clock, when it recon-
vened. One Of the first propositions be-
fore the convention was a resolution

mended Hon. l. c. Ralphsnyder, one OF

ries Heing Received.


The Virginia Agricultural and Mechani-
cal Society will hold its annual fair here
this fall, despite the action of the Council
i'm not assisting it to get out Of its finan-
clal distress. Arrangements for the ap-
preaching exhibition have been making
for some time, and the premium list has
been made up and distributed throughout
the country. Numbers Of inquiries as TO
space. attractions &c, are coming in
daily already. and Secretary Owens has
made many entries in the premium de-
partments. Excellent crops have been
grown and the fruit crop in many sec
tions Is very fine. This viii insure
good exhibit in these departments, and
as the premiums in the livestock depart
ment have been increased over last year
it is certain that a. splendid lot OF stock
will be here.
The society's grounds will not be sold
until after the Fair, which takes place
october 18th to 10th, and possibly not until
after the election in November when the
money question win be settled, and the
property no doubt. can be disposed or 10
much better advantage.
Mr.. Owens began his canvass among
business men yesterday, and large num-
Der expressed their intention TO make ex-
hbits this fall

did not meet at Murphys Hotel last
night. President Watkins will be In the
city Saturday and will have conference
with his committee then with reference

Frank Baltzell, secretary of the Fusion

veloned that a. Goodwin ticket had been
marked for Johnston. The illiterate was
arrested and jailed for showing the ticket,

black belt counties the reports state that
Dallas or some other black-belt county,
will send lid the usual majority, which
means that every majority that may De
needed from these counties VIII be sent up
next Saturday, when the vote Will be can

.arhe Populists are very much exas-
perated on account of the wrongs prac-

Postmaster Euclid Martin, OF this city,
TO the conference at Indianapolis, August
7th. with the understanding that Nebraska
should not take any prominent
part but allow some older State to de-
termine and outline the policy to be
followed.
1t was the opinion Of those present
that IL a national convention should be
called preference should be given TO
some western candidate for the nomina-
ton for President, but Mr.. Morton's
name was not mentioned. 1t was the
belief Of those present that something
should be done to maintain the party or
eanization. It was admitted. however,
that the placing of a Democratic national
ticket i'm the field. with gold tendencies,
might cost Mckinley some votes.

Whatever the wishes Of the leaders
