DEAD AGAINST FUSION.
Tom Watson Prevents the Working of the

INDIANAPOLIS, IsD., Sept. %. -
Thomas E. Watson, Populist candida
for Vice-President, put an end to the In
diana fusion scheme to-day. While the
committees of the two organizations were
in session at the Grand Hotel the follow
ing telegram was received in reply to a
telegram sent Watson earlier in the day:

THOMAS Z. WATSON.
Mr.. Matthews held this telegram until
the Populist committee returned to the
English Hotel from their session with the
silver Democratic campaign committee.
At this session nothing definite had been
determined. The best that the Populist
committee would offer was fusion with
five Populists and ten Democratic electors,
declaring that it had no authority TO
withdraw the Populist State ticket or any
Populist nominees for Congress. The tele-
gram of Watson, when shown 10 the COM
mittee, settled all possibility of any
further efforts in the direction OF fusion.

strike is liable to be far-reaching, possibly
resulting in a sympathetic strike in the

of the Canadian Pacific telegraphers dates
as far back as six years, so that the recent

reference to the impending Presidential
election in this count try. 1t is charged
