In Killed and wounded, and survivors

THAT FUSION STORY OVER AGAIN
Combine of PopuIists and Democrats
on President.

Chicago, May est develops today that
correspondence is now passing between
representative populists In this state,
Michigan, Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin,
Texas, Minnesota and elsewhere, look
Ing to a conference of leaders to be held
either In this city or st. Louis about the
third week In June for the purpose of
considering the situation of the party in
advance of the national democratic con-
vention. The split In the national demo-
cratic party growing out of the hnan-
cial contention Is proving source Of
much satisfaction to the populist leaders
who believe that in the event of silver
platform being adopted by that gather
ing, or Of the white metal wing boiling
the proceedings a coalition between the
populists and the silver democrats can be
effected, on the basis of a ticket com
posed Of one representative of either ele-
ment.
Representative populist leaders, more
over, do not hesitate to express the opin-
Ion that ticket composed Of ex-Gov-
ernor Boies of Iowa, and United States
Circuit Judge II. c. Caldwell of Little
Rock, Ark, would be acceptable to the
populist national convention which as
sembles at st. Louis on July %, as well
as TO the conference of silver leaders
which meets In the same city two days
prior to that date. Judge Caldwell, who
during the past two years has come into
coHSlutidDle puDlc HOtlce on account OF
his radical decisions regarding anti-mo-
nopoly and other questions. Is the choice
of an exceedingly large number of dele
gates to the ST. Louis convention for first
place on the populist ticket, but It is be-
lleved that they would be willing, with
his own consent, to relegate him to sec
ond place as a running mate to the
Grand Old Man" of Iowa good deal
Of this kind of talk was heard at the re-
cent democratic convention in Dubuque
which named Horace Boies as the ia
vorite son Of the democracy Of Iowa and
at which convention a number of leading
popullsts We're very much IN evidence.
The platform adopted, moreover, both in
It's silver planks and the demand for a
department of labor In the cabinet was
about as radical as ever adopted by a
populist gathering. There are well-in-
formed populists and good many dem
ocrats of political observation, who be-
lieve that silver democrat-populist
ticket OF Boies and Caldwell is anything
but a remote contingency, and there are
likely to be interesting developments
along that line within the next few
weeks

OF more than the first three measures.

funding bill placed fourth ON the list,
ahead of the immigration bill, was de-
feated, and n definite decision reached

HARRIrY DENIES THE sroR,
Free silver Democrats VIII Not He
Excluded ut Chicago.

Washington, May 29.-Senator-elect
Money OF Mississippi. one of the delegates
at large from his state to the Chicago
convention, wrote a letter to Harrity of
Pennsylvania, chairman of the demo-
cratic executive committee, calling his at
tention to the widely published reports
that he was credited with having an
nounced that an attempt would be made
to exclude from the convention free sil-
yer delegates suspected of an intention
to bolt, in case the convention declared
for gold. Money asked Harrity to make
frank reply as to the truth OF these
reports. He received a response today
in which Harrity makes an explicit de-
NAL, concluding as follows:
There is no foundation whatever for
that statement. 1t Is pure invention and
was doubtless made in order to annoy
and irritate and If some distinguished
democrats go correctly reported the au-
hor of the story has been successful in
his purpose"

Pttsburg. May 2S.-The prohibition ma
tional convention today nominated the
following ticket: For president. Joshua
lowering of Maryland; vice president,
Hale johnson of Illinois. The free silver
plank was rejected and the candidates
were placed upon the thinnest kind Of
a narrow gauge platform, embodying
merely the principle of prohibition and
even emitting the woman suffrage plank
which has been feature of its platforms
Tor years past Ex-Governor John +.
st. John, seconded by nearly all the
western delegates, made a gallant fight
Tor the free coinage of silver, and Helen
VI. Cougar of Indiana and Mrs. l.. A.
Pool of New York struggled in vain for
woman suffrage, but the narrow gauge
people controlled the convention and took
everything. When the nominations for
president were reached the name OF
Charles E. Bentley of Nebraska, a broad
gauge candidate, was not presented his
boom having been burst by the over
whelming defeat of the silver forces at
the Afternoon session.
AT late hour a large number of the
broad gauge delegates left the hall with
the avowed Intention of organizing a new
party.

yention hall late tonight and organized

been authorized to appoint two members
from each state to form a national cen
trail committee.

markets continue to range within
sman compass of prices, showing clearly
that the traders have no well defined
idea for the future. Yesterday the de-
cline was the result of liquidation by
holders who had become alarmed at
the reports coming from Texas of a
possible crop which would largely in
crease the yield. To-day the cold wave
over the South has given rise to the
Thought that possibly this crop may
have appeared too late to produce cot
ton. thus the foreign markets showed
la greater resistance than did the home
market to the offerings of the receipts
and gave the impetus to this market
this morning. locally the merchants
seem indisposed to anticipate any ma
terial change so long as the move
ment continues. So large American
spinners appear to have decided to be-
come buyers of their needed supply
on the basis of present prices. Heavy
selling by a local operator who has
been long on the market brought
about the decline At the decline, how
ever, American spinners were promi-
| nent buyers. The feeling here is bear
ish on the absence of any outside de-
mand and the fear of further long
liquidation.
