AT its conclusion the commander Of
the iron brigade mounted a chair, and in
brief, but graceful speech, moved that
the nomination be made unanimous, and
pledged that he and Wisconsin in the
coming battle would be where brave
soldiers should always be, nearest the
flashing of the guns" He was given
three hearty cheers, and General Palmer
was declared the nominee amid an cnthu-
siastic demonstration, during which the
State guidons were carried about the hall
i'll the wake of the standard of Illinois.
There never was any doubt about Gen

being talked for Senator Palmer for Pres

ALL RIGHT NOW.
The Democrats and Popultsts of Nebraska
Have Agreed

Have Agreed.
Omaha, Neb., Sept. 3.-After nearly an
all night session the State central com
mittees of the Democrat and Populist par-
ties, without apparent friction, practi-
cally agreed upon the details of the plan
for fusion on electoral and State tickets
This includes the endorsement by the
Democrats of the State ticket, nomi-
mated by the Populists at Hastings on
August D; the acceptance by the Popu-
lists of Democratic candidate for attor-
ney general to fill the vacancy left on the
Hastings ticket, and the selection of four
Populist electors, who will be nominated
by the Democrats. This agreement was
made by the Democratic State central
committee subject to the ratification of
the State convention. Both committees
named conference committees.
The Democratic State convention meets
in this city tomorrow forenoon, and the
leaders prominent in last nights council
assert that the fusion deal will be unani-
mously endorsed This arrangement
leaves but little for the Democrats to
fight over. The only place on the State
ticket in dispute is that of attorney gen
eral, while the places on the electoral
ticket necessarily will be limited to four.
For the nomination Of attorney general
there are three contestants on the
| ground-C. j. Smith, of Omaha; II. L..
Travis, of Plattsburg, and Edward Fal.
| loon, of Fails City 1t seems quite gen
orally conceded that the Omaha man will
get the place

flying than the nomination itself.

NEGRO REGISTRARS.

Raleigh, n. c., Sept 3 1T is under
stood here to-day that Populist Chairman
Aver has appointed in Craven county
negro Republican registrars. The new
law provides for one registrar from each
party, the decision of the majority to be
final. Aver said when questioned this
afternoon that he did not know whether
they were negroes or not, and as to their
being Populists, they might be Populists
who had come over from the Republic
cans, but he did not know. He added
that the fact that they had been recon-
mended by the county Populist chairman
and had accepted was good enough evil
dence for him that they were Populists.
IL is quite possible that further complica-
lions of this nature will arise from SINH
lar constructions of the alleged party al
leglance of registrars that may hereafter
be appointed

WHO BUCKNER IS.
y Sketch of Palmer's Running Mate in
the Handicap Race.

the Handicap Race.
indianapolis, Ind, Sept. 3-Gen.
Simon Bolivar Buckner is IS years old
and was born in Hart county, in the
southern part of Kentucky, and still lives
in the log cabin III which he was born.
This log cabin was built By the generals
father over 100 year, ago and the ONLY
time that he has lived away from his
birthplace was when he was governor of
his native State. The General has added
to the original cabin and he now has one
OF the most picturesque homes in the
State. AT West Point he graduated in
the same class with Gen. Grant
Gen. Buckner has been married twice
and his present wife is direct descend
ent of one of the oldest settlers in this
country, and her family is one of the
most aristocratic families of Virginia.
He was the Democratic gold standard
candidate for United States Senator in
Kentucky last winter, but owing to the
troublesome times he withdrew from the
race and no one was elected.
Gen. Buckner is worth something
over 81 ,0O0, 900, nearly all of which is in
vested i'll farm lands and real estate. He
is quite poet, having written number
of very creditable verses.
When the civil war came on Buckner
resided IN Kentucky and was made adiu-
tant general of the State, with command
of the State guard, and during the siege
at Fort Donaldson, Buckner was third in
command of the fort. Grant surrounded
the fort on all sides and after the attacks
of February 10 and II the Confederate
forces saw that further resistance would
be fruitless and the senior generals turned
the command over TO Buckner and in the
evening departed by boats. Buckner
quickly realizing that his situation was
hopeless, at once decided to surrender.

Inc Letter Written July % Is Exciting
Much Interest
Chicago, Sept. 3.-Chairman Jones' of
the national Democratic committee, has
made public letter to William ]. Bryan
from Arthur Sewall, apparently dated
July 20, at which time the Populist con-
vention was in session. The letter, which
is exciting IL great deal Of comment, reads
as follows:
"My Dear Mr.. Bryan: In view of the
action of the St. Louis convention to. day
| cannot refrain from giving you my
thoughts on the situation.
MY advices are that you have been
nominated us candidate for President and
Mr.. Watson for Vice President I also
learn through press dispatches that you
are somewhat undecided whether you
ought to accept or decline. Now, desire
to say to you with the utmost frankness
and good feeling that you must not allow
any personal consideration for me to in
ilucnce you in your action.
~ desire you will do just what you be-
, lieye is best for the success Of the head of
our ticket. The principles we are fight
Ing for are so paramount to any personal
considerations that the latter should not
have any weight or influence whatever
with your action.
CuHilOU lOT al moment allow myself
to be n factor in any action on your part
that would in the slightest degree hazard
| an electoral vote for YOU
"With kind regards to Mrs. Bryan, be.
liere me,
'YOur sincere friend
"ARTHUR SEWALL."
Bath, Maine, July 25.
The Democratic managers at headquar-
tiers insisted the letter had no further sig
nifcance than that Mr.. Bryan would con-
sent TO receive formal notification from
the Populist party in the near future and
| the publication was to forestail all ru-
| mors as to the attitude of Mr.. Sewall to
ward off ceremony.
Accompanying the letter is an unofii-
cal statement to the effect that several
| days ago Chairman Jones wrote n letter
! to Mr.. Sewall stating to him that many
Democrats throughout the country and
especially throughout the West were OBJ
iecting to fusion with the Populsts on
| electoral tickets, for the reason that they
did not wish to be disloyal to Mr.. Sewall.
In reply To Chairman Jones Mr.. Sewall
| forwarded the foregoing copy of the let
| ter written to Mr. Bryan.
