HARRIS IS CONFIDENT.
Thinks He Will be Nominated and
Populists Will Endorse Sewau.

Leavenworth, July Sex Congress
man w. a. Harris of Liuwood, arrived
in Leavenworth last night to attend
the Popuiist county convention today.
In an interview he ssid he had ad-
vices from all parts of Kansas. and
there was no doubt about his nOmina-
ton for governor by the POpulist state
convention. He said he favored fusion
and that the Populists would endorse
the Bryan and Sew3u electors put up
by the Democrats and in return the
Democrats would endorse the entire
Populist state ticket. He said:
I don't want to appear as though we
are acting in bad faith towards the St.
Louis POpuiist convention or the south
ern people, but they seem to be acting
in different states, Texas, Tennessee,
Alabama, and Georgia, just as it seems
best for them in regard to state mat
ters. They are threatening to divert
their votes from Bryan whenever it
seems necessary to them in order to
gain an advantage for a state ticket.
regard Bryan much more the real
choice of the St. Louis POpuliSt con
vention than Watson. It was conceded
on all sides that the POpulists should
do nothing to jeOpardize Bryan's sue
cess.

A PoPULIsTs IDEA.
He Suggests a Way for Populists to
Act in the Present Campaign.

We read your clear statement in the
Journal of the 2Sth that ''the Populist
mix would result in the election of Nc
Kinley and Hobart, let me suggest a
solution of the difficulty, for it seems
to US that the election of Mckinley and
Hobart will surely be prevented if the
following plan is adopted.
In states where there is a fusion of
Democrats and POpulists on the state
ticket let the state conventions agree
upon the same men for presidential
electors and for whom they shall vote,
and in states where there is no fusion
on the state ticket let the electors be
the same persons but who shall be in
structed to vote for Bryan and SewalI
if the state goes Democratic and for
Bryan and Watson if the state ticket
of the POpulists is elected. This would
compel the Democrats and the Popu-
lists to work, each for the success of
their own ticket, and would promote
enthusiasm, and make the election of
Bryan certain with either Sewau or
Watson for vice president, as the state
might vote. Very truly.

that if they viii agree on some place

the clerks from the pension Office up to
