lions in Eight of Then-D4taits of situ
atoms as to Fusion in Each Of the State
Where 1t is or Has Been Proposed.
New York, Aug. 10.--Reports of cor
respondents Of the World in thirty-foul
important states where the result migh
be affected by fusion, show the follow.
ing progress of negotiations:
Fusion is completed in four states
| Against fusion in thirteen states.
Negotiations in progress in seventeen
states.
| OF the states that have not yet decid-
| ed ii is estimated that fusion viii be &C
complished in eight, while nine remain
in doubt. Some OF them are considered
certain to reject fusion The situation
in these states is as follows:
AIabama-Fusion was strongly con-
sidered before the election of last week,
| but the decisive victory of the Popo-
Gratis. unaided, has rendered such a
move doubtful. Popuhsts ieaderers are
! embittered toward the Popocrats on
account OF unfair election practices.
Arkansas-No fusion has been consid-
cred.
California-F'usion uncertain. One
faction OF Populists have made over
lures to the Popocrats, and the other
insists that Sewall must withdraw. Fu-
sion probably would give the state 10
Bryan. Without IL the result is con-
sidered doubtful
vi do
ment for silver viii probably unite all
parties.
Florida-No fusion. The Populist con
vention declared that if Bryan did not
indorse Watson they would vote
against him. Both Popocrats and Re-
pubiicans have split.
Georgia-No fusion. The Populist.
have placed Bryan and Watson electors
IN the field and claim a large vote on
account OF Watson.
ldaho-No fusion probable. Populists
demand a United States senator and
congressman, which the Popocrats are
unwilling, to concede. There NAV be
fusion of Popocrats and silver Repub-
cans that would carry the state.
Ilhnois-Governor Altgeld is endeav-
or1ng to bring about fusion. Popocra-
tic and Populist leaders are comforting
IN all parts of the state and liberal con-
cessions Will be offered With the cid
or the Populist vote the Popocrats say
they viii carry the state.
Indiana-Popuiists have declared
against fusion and placed a straight
ticket OF their own in the field.
Iowa-Populists have declined 10 con-
slider the question of fusion. Bryan and
watson electors were named
kansas-Fusion was accom- lished az
ter much negotiation. The com bined
votes OF Poplists and Popocrats were
about 1000 less than the Republican
vote at the last election, but the flu
sionists assert they viii carry the state
this year by a large majority.

money sentiment in rhe state is strong.

at the last election by 5000 plurality.

clared against fusion.

The nomination OF Pinsree for COVER
nof by the Republicans may defeat the

sionists claim the state.
