POpulist Managers Here Hopeful for n
Complete Fusion.

The situation in Idaho, where the popu-
lists and democrats have fused and ignored
the silver republicans, is being keenly
watched at populist headquarters here.
The hope is entertained that some plan will
yet be devised whereby the silver republi-
cans may be included in the fusion. The
managers here are in correspondence with
the leaders iE Idaho ami stron., efforts will
be made to bring about an arrangement
satisfactory to all. Chairman Jones of the
national democratic committee has also
been instrumental in urging some recogni
ton of the silver republicans. Chairman
Butler of the populist executive committee
is especially anxious that some ar, ange
ment may yet be reached, not alone for the
effect that he thinks il would Lave on the
other western states, but for the reason
that equity and fair dealing require such
action. He is confident shat the rank and
file of the parties interested in Idaho are
beginning to see what he says is the in
Justice of fusion which leaves out the sill
yer republicans, and believes thar there
may yet be an opportunity of including
them in the agreement. The state repub-
lican convention assemblies soon, and, as
Senator Dubois has captured the greater

Butler thinks, probably lie split In the

WILL CLEVELAND. RUN?
A. Question Which Democrats Are Now
81 Asking.
meK'niey'' Letter the Cause.-The Re-
ference 70 Tariff Arou'e'
AAtagOnism.

Associated with the idea that McKinley's
letter Of acceptance will not please the gold
democrats In Its insistence that the free
trade tendencies Of this administration are
responsible for the hard times. talk Of the
nomination Of Cleveland Is being INDUCED
In today. There is a strong sentiment
among the most enthusiastic OF the gold
democrats in favor of the nomination of
Cleveland. There has never been any doubt
among Cleveland's admirers that If he
would permit 1t his nomination would be
the best they could make and that it would
be certainty if his acceptance were as
sured. 1t has not been believed, however,
that he would agree to run. and this fact
has kept it out of the field of discussion.
The suggestion Is now made, however,
that the prominence given to the tariff
issue In McKinley's letter might induce
some free-trade gold democrats to decline
any contribution toward the success of the
republican ticket. Those who hold to this
idea think that if Cleveland would consent
to run as the head of the indianapolis
ticket, he would receive the vote of every
goid democrat that might otherwise go to
Bryan. and that his candidacy would prove
d more severe blow to free silver than
could be dealt through any other candi-
GATE Ihey would hope, moreover, to prove
by the large vote he would get that the
gold men did not accept the theory that
CleVelands administration was in any way
responsible for the financial depression
which has run through his entire term.
His Name to BE Considered.
Unless it is definitely known when the
indianapolis convention meets that under
no circumstances would Cleveland run, mis-
ne me Is likely to be taken up. If this
We're done with the belief that he will &C
ctpt his omination would surely be made
by acclamaticn.
The block to the whole matter Is the
extreme improbability that Cleveland will
permit the use of mis- name.
Pleased ut Mckinley's Frnnkness.
The Mckinley letter is received with loud
expressions of praise and qualification by
the republicans here. and gold democrats,
while not willing to confess that Mr.. Cleve-
land made any mistake about the tariff,
say that they are greatly pleased at Nc
kIrley's frankness and directness in deal
ing with the silver question.
The opinion is expressed by all classes of
anu-Bryan men that the letter is one of
the strongest, most direct, fearless and
Convincing presentations of the financial is
sue that has been made and that 1t stands
out brilliantly in comparison with the va
riouS utteranceS of Bryan. The letter Is
spoken of as exceeding the expectations of
those who have awaited It's coming as the
signal trumpet of success 1t Is pointed
out that no effort is made 10 dodge the
financial question:, even while the conten-
ton Is made that the depression CT the
country Is due fo1!ac of revenue.
