Eiiensburg. Aug ia-spec.ai-Fusion Is
accomplished. The refractory parties that
Tor three Gays had resisted ali attempts
AT combination. under the IRE Of oratory
this evening were melted into a common
mass The principal component - Popu-
l<m. and there Is just a color streak of
Democracy and free coinage Republican,
Ism. The Democratic convention was IN
peculiar position ali day. The Demo-
Gratis were ready az any moment to kick
over the traces. throw fusion 10 the winds
and proceed 20 nominate a straight ticket.
and Il was only by careful management
that the party directors kept demonstra-
tion In check. When the first conference
feet that the Popnlist altimatum was 20
give the Democrats nothing but supreme
Judge and state printer, the whole fusion
scheme was in danger of going 10 pieces.
The convention voted 20 discharge the
committee. and was on the verge ~ pass
Ing resolution. which would have re-
esiyed an almost unanimous vote. 20 the
effect that the convention proceed with
the regular order Of business and nominate
a full ticket. This resolution was intro
duce9 by Richard SAKE jones, OF King.
just as the motion was about 20 be put,
Gilman interferei and IN 3 few words per-
saaded the convention 70 defer action. The
silver men sent In a committee, and nego-
tlations for fusion were resumed, which

The ropulistS for nearly ;wenty-four
hours held out solidiy against granting
the Democrats the sole demand they
made. which was for ore OF the congress
men or for governor. Fer hours the Dem
ocrats iabored with the Populists ia con-
ference committee. AZ one time they had
the request granted, but az the expense
OF the Sllverites and the latter succeeded
in getting the plum away again. Finally.

ing and threatening. and while the Dem
0cratic convention was on the very eve

from TIE Democrats and Slverites. was

and that body. already exhausted from the
windy harangues OF its own members.
finally succumbed and surrendered a con-
gresham.
The situation as summed UP may be
stated thus; The POpuHsss. by sheer bull
beaded ohstinacy. not only held ;heir own
against rhe aaroit and trained polite
