WEST VIRGINIA POLITICS.
FUSION between the Democrats and
POpulfsts In Rumored.

Correspondence OF The Evening Star
WHEELING, w. Va, August "a. 1895
A sensational move Is on foot to have
Gen. Watts, who is the nominee for gov
ernor on the democratic ticket, and l. C.
Ralphsnyder, the populist nominee, both
taken off and fusion made on either
Judge VIM. G. Bennett or Clarence L.
Smith. The executive committees of both
Der 3. and will act on a petition to be pre-
scented to the above effect Anti-Watts
democrats are circulatin the petition
which Is being largely signed. The signers
object to Watts on the ground that he is
at heart sound money man and an ad-
mlnlstration democrat; that he is too close
TO the MacCorkle-Chilton faction: and that
the only hope of fusion with the populists
is to take Watts off the ticket. Watts
friends were defeated in the recent eXecu-
tive committee election, and it is said the
new officials are friendly to the PROPOSE
ton.
The democratic state executive committee
treated the public to surprise in failing to
re-elect its chairman VIM f. Chiffon of
charleston. The fight was warm be-
tween Chiffon and Geo. /. Neal of Hunting
ton that compromise was decided on in
the person of Andrew Edmiston of Weston.
John D. Anderson of Hinton was elected
secretary, and Joseph Gdlaher of Mounds
vile, treasurer. These men, with the eX-
ception of Anderson, were anti-Watts men
in the recent state convention A large
number Of populists were present for the
proposed conference looking to the fusion
of the two parties. but the strange absence
of Chairman Piersol of the populist eXecu-
tive committee, and the disappearance of
letter reported to have been prepared, set
ting forth the populists' demands, prevent
ed an agreement.
VIM. l.. Wilson, jr., son Of the Postmaster
General, who is a promising young lawyer
a: Charlestown, Is one Of the most active
OF the gold standard democrats, and is
understood to desire to go to Indianapolis
as delegate. The Postmaster General,
however, declines to accept the RESPONSE
bility for his actions. and says: He is Of
age, and 1 long ago relinquished all con-
troll over his actions or his opinions. He is
honest and conscientious. and will do what
he thinks right"
In Berkeley county the gold and silver
men took turns at the Inwood fair grounds
in opening the campaign. The republicans
heard speeches from Congressman Day
ton, G. w. Atkinson, candidate for
governor, Senator Elkins, Rev. D. H.
Shields and L. S. G. Pitzer. The
next day the democrats turned out to lis
ten to Senator Joe Blackburn, Congress
man Benton McMillin, Senator Faulkner
and Judge D. b. Lucas of Charlestown.

KENTUCKY IS EXCITED.
A Hot Pnce Set by Republicans In the
Political Race.

Correspondence of The Evening Star.
LOUISVILLE, KY, August %, 1896.
Although early in the campaign, the po-
litical situation in Kentucky has all but
reached the fever heat. The republicans
have set the pace which is heartbreaking
from the start, and they declare that they
Will maintain it through the race. The re-
publican state campaign committee, of
which Sam. J. Roberts of Lexington is
chairman, has established headquarters in
Louisville. and tons of campaign literature
are being sent out weekly. A large number
of clerks and assistants have been en-
ployed. and the headquarters, embracing a
suite of four rooms on the ground floor Of
the Gait House, present a lively and ami
mated scene at all times. Mr.. Roberts has
thrown down the gauntlet to the demo-
cratic leaders. and has announced that he
intends to force the fighting from the start
He says that an organization for Mckin-
ley will be made by school districts and
that every county in the state will be thor
oughly stumped, not only by the local lead
ers. but by distinguished republicans from
the east and north.
The Mckinley leaders are thoroughly in
touch with Mark Hanna, and if money is
needed to carry on the campaign there will
be plentiful supply Of the ''needful."
Gov. Bradley, however, is still sulking in
his tent, and it is current gossip that he
Will not make a speech for the ticket dur
ing the campaign. The breach between the
Bradley and Mckinley republicans has not
been healed, so far the leaders are con.
cerned, but arrangements are being made
to conduct the campaign without the aid
Of the governor.
Democrats Are Not Dismayed.
The democrats have not been so active
though they have established headquarters
here and are sending out some free silver
literature. The leaders, however are pre-
pairing for an active campaign, and Harry
Sommers of Elizabethtown, chairman of
the democratic state campaign committee,
engagements were completed they would
inaugurate such an active campaign
that it would sweep the republicans off
their feet. 1t has been given out that w.
]. Bryan will make two speeches in Ken
lucky, one in Louisville on September 10,
and another in Lexington on the day fol-
lowing. This will mark the formal opening
Of the democratic campaign, after which
Gov. Altgeld Of Illinois, Congressman Tur-
pie of Indiana and Gov. Stone of Missouri
in addition to the state leaders, will deliver
speeches.
Altgeld, Turpie ard Stone have consented
to come and number of others have been
asked. Kentucky democrats outside of
Louisville are enthusiastic for silver though
it is feared that the republican majority

to the organization.
Kansas Gold Democrats,
The gold standard democrats of Kansas
held their state convention at Topeka YES
terday. Thomas Fenton Of Leayenworth
was elected chairman, and in accepting the
honor delivered speech In denunciation
OF the Chicago convention, its platform
and Its candidates. His laIdatory mention
of President Cleveland provoked much en-
thusiaSm. The preliminary business was
quickly dispatched during short session,
and when the convention reconyened in
the afternoon a platform was adopted,
twenty delegates were elected to the In
dianapolis convention, and after the adj
ministration of President Cleveland had
been indcrsed by a unanimous vote the
convention adjourned sine die. The resolu-
tions adopted repudiate the Chicago plat
form as uhdemocratic and unpatriotic and
declare the gold standard democracy of
Kansas to be in favor or the nomination of
third candidates for President and Vice
President by the convention at Indianapo-
lis. The resolutions also declare for a tar
iff for revenue only and against govern
ment ownership of railroads The railroad
plank OF the Chicago platform was roundly
denounced.
Texas Gold Democrats.
Several hundred delegates attended the
state gold standard convention at Waco.
Tex. yesterday. The prospects are that in
addition to selecting delegates to Indianap-
oils full state ticket will be put out and
a straight fight made. Charles Hume of
Galveston was elected temporary chairman
and J. E Read of Corsicana temporary
secretary. Committees were appointed on
credentials, permanent organization and
platform. The convention then took a re-
cess
Florida Gold Democrats
The Florida gold standard democratic
state convention met at Jacksonville yes
terday. Seventeen out Of forty-five counties
in the state were represented. Much en-
thusiasm was manifested, and many rous-
ing speeches made repudiating the action
of the Chicago convention as undemocratfc
and anarchistfc. Delegates and aIternates
to the Indianapolis convention were elect
ed. Resolutions were adopted indorsing the
administration Of Grover Cleveland and
favoring gold as standard Of values, also
favorfng freedom of Cuba The state ex-
ecutive committee appointed was given
power to appoint presidential electors and
carry on the campaign.

Democrats Deny That Allegiance IL
Owed to the Chicago Platform.
A new political party has been born in
Pennsylvania. and it will be known upon
the official ballots as the "Jeffersonian
party" 1t is composed of the sound mon
ey democrats of the state, and 1t came in
to being at a convention held yesterday
afternoon in Musical Fund Hall. Philadel-
phia.
The most notable feature of the conven-
ton yesterday was the tumutuous ap-
plause that greeted every mention of the
name of President Cleveland. A few
Bryan ''rooters'' in the rear of the hall
attempted to disturb the proceedings, but
they did not remain long.
William NJ. Singerly, who called the
meeting to order, introduced John c. Bull
lit as the chairman. Mr.. Bullitts speech
was vigorously applauded. Committees
were named and electors were named
and delegates to the Indianapolis conven-
ton We're nominated. A resolution was
adopted placing the entire management of
the campaign in the hands of the state ex-
ecutive committee. 1t also made John c.
Bulitt an eH-officio member of the COM
mittee.
The platform adopted denies that allie
glance to any party organization requires
or will excuse our support of policies
which We believe to be Subversive of the
Integrity and general welfare of our coun-
try and dangerous TO the perpetuity of our
government"
